Nexus 7

Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, 1920x1200 display, 4G LTE option

We're live from Google's San Francisco event, where the company has just unveiled the successor to last year's Nexus 7 tablet — the new Nexus 7! This year's 7-inch tablet is once again made by Taiwanese manufacturer ASUS, and boasts a higher-resolution screen, faster CPU.

The 2013 Nexus 7 is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU and the display resolution has been bumped up to 1920x1200, while still fitting in a 7-inch diagonal frame. Unlike last year's model it also boasts a 5-megapixel rear camera and dual rear speakers.

In the U.S. there'll be a 4G LTE model offered, too.

We're live from Google's "Breakfast with Sundar," where the Android (and Chrome) chief is touting the next generation of Android tablet. 

Putting things in perspective, he said, is that there have been more than 70 million Android tablets activated. That's more than 1 in 2 tablets running Android, he said.

Android World Update # LG D801 passes through FCC, looks to be AT&T version of LG G2

LG D801 passes through FCC, looks to be AT&T version of LG G2
Jul 24th 2013, 15:53, by Andrew Grush

LG G2 teaser video

Ah – the LG D801, there's a blast from the past! You might not remember, but a long time ago (okay, actually it was just back in March..), we reported on a benchmark sighting for a mysterious handset by the name of the D801. At the time we knew little about this little guy, other than it seemed to possess an impressive Snapdragon 800 CPU.

Fast-forwarding to today, the D801 has made yet another appearance, this time as it passed through the FCC.

According to the filing, the D801 comes with LTE bands 4 and 17, making it the perfect match for AT&T. Considering the LG G2's official unveil is just around the corner now, it's a safe bet that the D801 is in fact the AT&T version of the G2.

Adding further credence to the claim, a sketch included with the FCC filing shows off a handset that has the same backside volume buttons that have been teased for the G2.

Still, until LG confirms it, its always wise to approach this kind of rumor with a little bit of skepticism.

If this does prove to be the LG G2, you not only expect a Snapdragon 800 processor as previously hinted for the D801, but also a 5.2-inch 1080p display, 2GB of RAM and a 2,700 mAh battery.

So how about it, anyone excited to get their hands on the AT&T version of the LG G2?
