The 2nd-generation Google Nexus 7 is now up for pre-order on Best Buy, pre-empting the official announcement later tonight. Packing a 7-inch full HD display, a quad-core Snapdragon CPU, 2GB RAM and Android 4.3 Jellybean, the Nexus 7 v2 starts at $229.
The new Nexus tablet now features a 5 megapixel rear camera paired with a 1.3MP front-facing camera. Google changed the rubbery texture on the back with the kind of plastic that is similar to the one on the Nexus 10.

The new Google Nexus 7 will be sold for $229 for the 16GB variant, $269 for the 32GB and $349 for the 32GB LTE model; that’s $30 more than the previous model at release.

Meron na bang available na lte dito sa pinas? How much and san nakkabili?
May nakita akong mga Nexus 7 2nd gen na available na sa Sulit.com.ph. May nakabili na ba sa inyo doon? What’s the verdict? Ok ba? Nag-aalangan kasi akong bumili dahil sa mga issues na nababalita. May mga builds daw na defective yung multi-touch at GPS.
kelan kaya dadating to sa pinas buy ako nito yung may LTE at magkano kaya magiging price nito?
Meron po ba call and text features to?
Sir Yuga, do we have a word from ASUS Philippines kung kelan nila ire-release to dito sa Pinas?
Not yet. Mauuna muna yung MemoPad HD.
When is this available in the Philippines? Particularly in Cebu
