Google Nexus 7 2016 edition is likely getting several revamps as new leaks suggest so. Here's a brief update on what the tech writers have been speculating about the tablet.

Google Nexus 7 2016 to get a 'Pixel' name?

The rumor sparks after Google Pixel was introduced to the public. Many analysts have speculated that Google may ditch the Nexus logo and place 'Pixel' instead, Mobipicker reported. However, the case is different since Google Pixel phones are purely made by Google, while the upcoming Nexus 7 tablet is rumored to be built by Huawei.

What corroborates the speculation is the idea of a decent, cheap yet durable tablet that has been attached to Android tablet so far, The Verge has learned. If it is to be branded with Pixel, it would not have that kind of quality at an affordable pricing.
