Google to Refresh Nexus 7 Tablet This July

Google plans to refresh its Nexus 7 tablet in July 2013, according to Reuters. The next iteration of Google's very successful pure Android tablet is said to debut at this year’s Google I/O event. It will still be built by ASUS and will now be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor instead of NVIDIA Tegra 3.

The new Nexus 7 is said to feature a thinner bezel and a higher screen resolution thus making it more attractive than its predecessor. Google reportedly plans to ship up to 8 million units of the new Nexus 7 in the second half of 2013, which is almost double the sales of the current Nexus 7, which is pegged at 4.5 million units. Competitively priced at $199 for the 16GB model, it is set to compete and grab market share from Apple's iPad mini and Amazon's Kindle Fire. The outgoing model will then retail for $149 from the Play Store.
