Google's new Nexus 7 tablet is set for release this month and could boast a Full HD resolution.
Earlier rumours had already slated the second-generation tablet for a July launch, but an Asus customer service rep has now reportedly leaked further details on the specs, notes The Next Web.
According to the rep, the screen will be higher resolution than the 1,280 x 800 display on the original Nexus 7. The tablet will run on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and feature 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There's also a 5-megapixel rear snapper and 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera, plus support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and LTE.
Additional details tally with earlier reports that the new Nexus 7 will see Google switch from Nvidia's Tegra 3 processor to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 for power-saving reasons. The new device is also reported to have a thinner bezel.
Sources told Reuters that the firm may sell the new model at the same $US199 price tag, while cutting the price of the original. Another alternative being considered would be to sell the new device for $US149 and discontinue the earlier version entirely.
The current Nexus 7 comes in 16GB and 32GB models
