A purported new Nexus 7 image seems to confirm the specs of the upcoming tablet – we’re apparently looking at the sticker on the back of the alleged device, which lists components and part suppliers.
In the last few hours, an avalanche of new Nexus 7 rumors have hit the web, from pricing details toimages and videos, so it’s hardly surprising to see more details come in.
Moreover, we heard that retailers may receive Nexus 7 stock starting with July 20, and Google invited the press to attend a “breakfast with Sundar Pichai” on July 24 – that’s when we expect to see Android 4.3 and the new Nexus 7 get official.
But now we’re going to focus on that image above which seems to reveal the final specs of the new Nexus 7 – at least of the 32GB version model (ME571K - that’s the same model number spotted with the Chinese FCC equivalent a while ago, and should describe the Wi-Fi version of the device). Here’s what we’re looking at:
- 7-inch LCD with WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200)
- Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor (APQ8064)
- 512MB of DDR3LM RAM (see update below)
- 32GB of storage
- 5-megapixel camera
- 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera
- stereo speakers
- 3950mAh battery
In addition to the image above, a reddit user took apart the new Nexus 7 video focusing on the sticker, and pretty much confirming the list above.
Of course, with such leaks there’s always a chance that such images and videos are doctored, in which cause the specs list above shouldn’t be trusted. That said, today’s new Nexus 7 leaks look pretty believable, but we’ll be waiting for Google to make it official.
[Update:] Our +Gary Sims noticed something this writer has missed when looking at the sticker in the alleged Nexus 7 image. The memory section says the device has 256M (megabits) x 16, not 256MB(megabytes) x 16, which means the device packs 512MB of RAM not 4GB. Whether it’s 512MB of 4GB, it still doesn’t sit right with us, so we can only hope Google will make it clear next week.
