The new Nexus 7 has been officially announced today, and if you missed the unveiling, CNET has a video up for you to check out.
Little changes to the new Nexus 7 are, 1920×1200 LCD display, 1.8mm thinner, and narrower by 2.75mm, and 50 grams lighter than its predecessor. Other specs include a quad-core Snapdragon S4 pPro processor, 2 gb of RAM, 5 MP rear facing camera, and a 1.2 MP front facing camera. There is a promised battery life of about 9 hours, if watching HD playback. That battery life is not bad at all.
You will be able to purchase the new Nexus 7 in the US on July 30th. The rest of the countries have not been given a specific date of launch, but Barra said it will be coming in the weeks to come. Pricing is $229 for the 16 gb version, $269 for the 32 gb version, and $349 for the 32 gb LTE version. So pick your poison, and let us know which one you plan on purchasing.
