Sometimes if you want to know top secret new product information all you gotta do is ask. At least that's how it appears from the screen grabs of a conversation that an XDA forum member had with an Asus online chat support representative. The chat, which was found on XDA and posted to Google+ by Tim P (https://plus.google.com/photos/110005594506973962154/albums/5894753622452455441) shows someone simply asking Asus online support when the new K009 Nexus 7 tablet will be released to the public, to which the Asus rep replies 'before Q2' and then 'before the ending of July'. He then goes on to list what he says are 'unconfirmed specifications', and these line up well with what we've previously seen and heard: 7 inch LED with 1980 * 1200 resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 Quad Core CPU / Snapdragon APQ8064 CPU, 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, 5Mpx rear camera and 1.2Mpx front camera, Android 4.3, 4000 mAh battery, Wifi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC enabled, LTE / WCDMA / GSM support.
Now there's no real surprises here in the specs, although it's nice to see the Snapdragon 600 mentioned and not the Snapdragon S4 Pro which had been previously rumored. Also the mention of Android 4.3 as well as the LTE / WCDMA / GSM support all go along with previous leaks and rumors so while the rep calls these specs 'unconfirmed', we'd say they're a pretty sure bet. Now the only thing we need to know is the final pricing and what the redesigned Nexus 7 will look like. What do you guys think? Are you happy with these specs? Will you be buying the 2nd generation Nexus 7 when it becomes available later this month?
