GOOGLE NEXUS 7 2016 RELEASE DATE, SPECS: NEXUS BRAND STILL ALIVE, NEW TABLET TO BE POWERED BY ANDROMEDA OS?

#Nexus7 #AndromedaOS – Google Nexus 7 2016 release date, specs: Nexus brand still alive, new tablet to be powered by Andromeda OS? : Despite several reports that the upcoming models for Google Nexus will be launched under a new moniker, the Pixel series, some tech enthusiasts believe that the Nexus brand is not dead yet.

According to BGR, the company may still release many devices from the said brand in the near future, showcasing a few exciting surprises. Apparently, similar to previous collaborations, Huawei is said to be working on a Nexus 7 tablet that will be equipped with Andromeda out of the box.

The touted operating system is deemed to be the hybrid of Android integrated with Chrome features. There is also hearsay that Andromeda may be unveiled on Oct. 4, marking a significant milestone for Android.

What may have added to the assumption that Google is working on the new device is renowned tipster Evan Blass' tweet earlier last month stating, "Google's Huawei-built 7-inch tablet, with 4 GB RAM [random access memory], on track for release before the end of the year." However, since there is no official confirmation from the manufacturers yet, available information should be taken with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile, when it comes to the Pixel smartphones, rumors are rife that the HTC-made gadgets initially codenamed as Sailfish and Marlin will launch as Pixel and Pixel XL, respectively.

The Pixel smartphone is expected to come with a 5-inch full high-definition (HD) display, 3 GB of RAM and a 2,770 mAh battery. Meanwhile, the Pixel XL has a slightly bigger 5.5-inch quad HD screen along with a quad-core processor, the Adreno 530 graphics processing unit (GPU), 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.

Both devices are expected to come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820, a 12-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel front-facing lens and will have a support for Android 7.1 Nougat preinstalled. Their prices will start at $350 and may go up to $500 which some believe is justified due to the high-end specifications. They may also be launched in Google's upcoming October event alongside the touted Andromeda OS. Source: Vinereport
