New Nexus 7 appears in Best Buy circular

Nexus 7

Best Buy ad confirms $230 price tag and 1920 x 1200 display

Everyone is excited about the coming Nexus 7 sequel, even Best Buy by the looks of this sales circular. We don't get a very good press image of the upcoming tablet, but we've seen that already so we can focus on the details instead. This ad mentions a 1920 x 1200 screen, 16GB of storage, and the same $230 price we reported last week.

It's worth noting that it also says available Tuesday, but we have to remember there is a Tuesday in every week. This doesn't necessarily mean the day after tomorrow, and likely refers to Tuesday July 30, which is a few days after Google's big event in California coming this week. Without knowing the exact distribution date of this flyer, there is a bit of speculation involved.

We're ready, and an appearance at Best Buy on release may mean a little less frustration than ordering from Google Play. We'll know in just a few days.

The new Nexus 7 leaks again, looks familiar

Nexus 7 part two

Leaked press render confirms earlier pictures and video of pre-production unit

Another leak from @evleaks shows the new Nexus 7 in a detailed press render, and the image confirms our earlier exclusive pictures and video of the coming tablet. The matte finish back with the Nexus logo in a landscape format, as well as the large rear camera opening are on board. If you have a good eye, you can also see the notification light on the bottom bezel around in the front.

We're absolutely expecting to hear and see everything there is to know about the Nexus 7 sequel this coming Wednesday (July 24) where Android head Sundar Pichai has a breakfast event planned for the press. We'll be there, and be bringing you all the news live as it happens. For now, bask in the Nexus glory this press render delivers.

White Moto X press shots and new specs join the leak party
Jul 21st 2013, 22:36, by Sean Riley

The Moto X leak party is getting pretty out of hand, I have no idea how the neighbors haven’t called the cops on these hooligans yet.

Today we have press shots much like yesterdays, but this time featuring the white version of the Moto X. It’s beginning to seem a bit curious that despite the persistent customization rumors that we only seem to get official images and ads displaying the phone in a fairly standard black or white.

I’m glad to see it’s not the two tone white back with black front that we saw on the Nexus 4 as this would lend credence to the customization of the phone being the full body rather than a change of back plate as some have suggested.

The fairly mid-range spec sheet has been detailed by us previously and I’ll give the full rundown again below, but one new addition is that the battery was identified as being 2200 mAh and non-removable thanks to the FCC filings. Considering the juice sipping S4 that it is being paired with that should yield solid battery life, however there are plenty of people that hate the inability to swap batteries as needed. An Android Police tipster sent them pictures of an AT&T branded version which should come as little surprise considering the money that is being put into the Moto X campaign this thing better be going everywhere.

  • Dual-Core 1.7GHz Qualcomm S4 with Adreno 320
  • 2GB of RAM
  • 720p screen 4.5-4.7 inches
  • 10MP rear camera and 2MP front-facing
  • 16GB of storage
  • No external storage option
  • 2200 mAh non-removable battery
  • Android 4.2.2
  • 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WiFi
  • NFC

Despite the endless string of rumors and leaks, Leo Laporte (after attending the private Motorola event at the Googleplex last week) reported that there is still more to discover about the Moto X.

What secrets do you think Motorola could still have up their sleeves with the Moto X?

Moto X for AT&T pictures, benchmarks and specs revealed
Jul 21st 2013, 22:18, by Andrew Martonik

Moto XMoto X

Solid but mid-range specs found under familiar black casing with a curved back

As we said when the first press renders of the Moto X hit the web, the leaks are just going to keep coming as we get closer and closer to its official reveal on August 1st. This time by way of the folks at AndroidPolice, we have pictures of the Moto X variant for AT&T (aka XT1058 or "ghost") with a whole breakdown of purported specs and benchmarks. On the outside everything looks to be in order along with previous leaks and renders, so the important part is what the diagnostics and FCC filings obtained by the site show of the internals:

  • Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM9860DT processor, clocked at 1.7GHz
  • 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, no SDcard slot
  • 720x1280 4.7-inch display (minus a few pixels for the on-screen buttons)
  • 10.5MP rear and 2.1MP front-facing camera
  • 2200mAh non-removable battery

Android to No Longer Get Cold Shoulder With Sky Go Apps
Jul 21st 2013, 20:48, by Anthony Muzonzini

The Sky Go app has been quite a huge hit for the company as users in the UK have been able to access services they have subscribed to on their mobile devices. If you are a user of both Sky and Android you probably were not really impressed by the treatment you were getting from the broadcasting giant but that is now all set to change as bosses from the media company have admitted that the Androd versions of the apps have been far from great and have promised to remedy the situation.
