ASUS rumoured to be working on next-generation Nexus 7

Blair McClelland January 31, 2013 Android, Mobile, Tablet PC

ASUS is rumoured to be working on a successor to the hugely popular Nexus 7 Android tablet. Given it has been the most successful Android tablet to date it is unsurprising to hear rumours of Google and ASUS teaming up again to launch a successor later this year.

According to rumours arising from supply chain sources (which aren't always correct we might add) who have access to “engineering samples”. Claims include a 1080p display, thinner bezels and the same attractive $199 to $249 price range. Other specifications such as the processor, memory and hopefully internal storage will also be upgraded but no specifics were mentioned.

KitGuru says: Given the early nature of these rumours take them with a grain of salt. However, if there is substance to them expect the Nexus 7 successor to be unveiled at Google I/O in May.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
