Google To Launch 2nd Gen Nexus 7 With Android 5.0

Google could soon launched the next generation of the successful Nexus 7 tablet. CNET reports that a Korean analyst claimed that the screen makers for the device are preparing to begin the supply of the display for the new Nexus 7 Tablet in June.

IHS researcher Ricky Park who named the tablet as the Nexus II, says it will be equipped with a better Full HD 1920 x 1200 pixel screen. If Ricky prediction turn out to be right on the card, it mark a very significant upgrade over the original Nexus 7’s 1280×800-pixel display. With the new pixel density of 323 pixel per inch, it can go on par with Apple’s Retina Display.

The Full HD display for the 2^nd generation Nexus 7 tablet would be made by Japan Display and APU although the device will be built by rather unfamiliar Taiwanese manufacture Quanta. Google for some reason left out Asus although the company was the manufacturer of the first Nexus 7.

Park also expects the Nexus 7 II to be on sale in the third quarter of the year. Taiwan’s DigiTimes expects to show up even earlier – somewhere in July itself, and a 16GB version will run around $229 (estimated RM720). 

The expected price is almost double the price of the Original Nexus 7 which go on sale in US for $199 while the Malaysian version was retailed around RM 1099 at launch.

Goole had traditionally used the Nexus line-up to introduce the new version of its Android and with Google leaving the new Android OS altogether at Android I/O, we could also be looking at a July/August launch date for new Android 5.0.
