Nexus 7 leaks list Android 4.3, wireless charging, camera details, July 31 retail launch
Jul 19th 2013, 16:35, by Nick Gray

With less than a week to go before the new Nexus 7 is expected to be unveiled, a newly leaked document give us some additional insight into the device’s specs. The document lists the Nexus 7 as having a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 7-inch display, 1.2MP front-facing camera, 5MP rear-facing camera, wireless charging and a slim port for 1080p video output all running on Android 4.3. A second source has also shared that the Nexus 7 will arrive at Stables stores on July 24, but  they will not go on sale until July 31.

Thanks to the new details, leaked price and device images, we may already know everything there is to know about the new Nexus 7. The only detail missing at this point is the resolution of the 7-inch display. Google may have a few surprises for us, but we doubt they will reveal anything earth shattering.

Based on what we know so far, will you be handing over your hard earned cash for the new Nexus 7 at the end of this month?

Welcome back to our weekly Top 10 Android App Updates column, where we take a look at the most upgraded apps for the week. I've found that one of the best ways to discover useful apps is to look at what people are actually updating, not focus on which apps have the most installs. As in the past, we’re going to filter out minor updates for the super popular apps that have over 10 million installs, but I'm going to make an exception for apps that had significant updates. I hope you enjoy this weekly feature and discover some apps that you might find useful.
