Google Nexus 7 existence is slowly appearing and it's expected to see the daylight later this year.

The upcoming Nexus 7 is said to come with a new operating system called Andromeda. However, there is no legit source that can support the claim. In fact, analysts and users in Android Police forum have come to believe that Android OS makes so much more sense than a nowhere-seen Andromeda.

The fans get even more confused as David Matte published a blog - speculating a Fuchsia OS that Google has allegedly developed. Again, according to the forum, Fuchsia has a similar background with Andromeda but it was actually related to Apple's pink Taligent.

Back to Google Nexus 7 - with all of that being the case - the tablet could still run the latest Android OS this year but Chrome OS is also plausible.

The speculation pops out after Google announced that it will stop producing the Chromebook Pixel. The laptop waves goodbye as the tech giant decides to focus on Pixel devices instead. Express was told that there won't be any new edition in Pixel laptop lineup.

Google Nexus 7 will reportedly house a 7-inch AMOLED display with 2,560 x 1,440 screen resolutions. It is said to sport USB Type C port with 4 gigs of RAM in tow. Furthermore, the tablet will rock a 64 GB RAM and most likely be VR capable.

Nexus 7 is expected to ship with 13 MP rear camera and a Snapdragon 820 chip under the hood. As for now, it's hard to know for sure whether the tablet will come equipped with such impressive hardware choices and until we have more information, everything remains to be seen.

From this point, it is safe to assume that fans are anticipating the new Pixel 7 tablet as it's reportedly getting more hardware enhancements while being power-efficient. Pixel 2 may be something worth the wait but the upgrades seem to be less interesting to learn given that the upgrades are obvious and a must-do.

The Nexus 7 2017 on the other hand, is highly-speculated as Google's biggest tablet unveiling this year as tech geeks are eager to find out what Google has in store.
