Google Nexus 7 2016 release will reportedly happen on May 18 at Google's I/O Developers' Conference.
The aforementioned conference is slated on May 18-22. While previous Nexus devices were announced in October, Google may opt to release the new Nexus tablet earlier than usual. The company may jump back to its summer release like what it did with the previous Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. However, there are still whispers that the tablet will be announced in the fall or later.
The earlier release was sparked by the various discounts on previous Nexus handsets and Google pulling the plug on Nexus 9 tablet. Moreover, the imminent release of Android N operating system added fuel to the fire.
Based on rumors, Google Nexus 7 2016 features include a 5.1-inch or 7-inch screen display. Under the hood, the device will be powered by Snapdragon 820 SoC and NVIDIA Tegra X1 processor paired with 4GB of RAM, and Android N operating system.
Google Nexus 7 2016 could be the first Nexus smartphone to pack a 2TB external storage via microSD slot, which is missing from the previous Nexus smartphones. The smartphone may also pack a 12MP back camera and 5MP front-facing camera. All of these hardware specs are supported by 3,000mAh battery.
The new Nexus device will be a tablet or a phablet. Thanks to Android N OS, the handset will have revolutionary software features optimized for maximum productivity. Reports added that the tablet will come with features thanks to pure Android N operating system. The tablet will be marketed to professionals and businesses, which productivity is of utmost importance.
Lastly, Google will reportedly work hand-in-hand with Taiwanese manufacturer HTC to make the next Nexus device. HTC teamed up with Google before and was in charged in making HTC Nexus 9 tablet.
However, there is still no official announcement from Google about the official release date and features of the rumored Google Nexus 2016.
