Google’s new version of the Nexus 7 tablet is supposed to be announced Wednesday at an orchestrated event, but a leaked Best Buy ad may already lifted the veil off of the device. The ad was tipped to Phone Arena, which published it to show that the retailer is pricing the device at $229, touting that it has 16 GB of storage and a 1920 x 1200 pixel 7-inch touch screen, and saying it’s available as soon as July 30.
There has been no official word on the device from Google yet. The company’s event scheduled for this Wednesday is being headed by Sundar Pichai, who is in charge of Google’s Android division. That’s a strong indication that Google’s next tablet is on the agenda. If the leaked Best Buy ad is true, Nexus 7’s specs and especially pricing would make it a strong competitor to the current crop of low-priced tablets, Apple’s iPad Mini and Amazon’s Kindle Fire.
