Google might be releasing a successor to the Nexus 7 this year
Over the past few years, Android tablets have been either a hit or miss. Google found a way to get a great tablet Android tablet to the populous market with the Nexus 7, especially the 2013 model. The Nexus 7 had a combination of a great display, great hardware, a low price and a form factor that no one could beat and it was unmistakably different from the popular iPad. Google had no plans to release another one when it was discontinued over a year ago, but that might change this year. Evan Blass claims that Huawei is manufacturing a 7-inch Huawei 7P tablet that will be released before the end of this year.'
The unveiling of many technology products has been predicted by Evan Blass. He says the 7P will have 4GB of RAM, but didn't release any other details or photos or renders. There hasn't been much news about the alleged tablet. Back in December Tech Times noted a similar rumor about Huawei filing a trademark for the 7P this year. The name of the tablet, 7P, comes from the current naming system for Google Nexus devices. The demand for smaller tablets such as the older Nexus 7 has begun to decrease since smartphones are becoming bigger and more mainstream.
It's also unclear if Google will be using the "Nexus" name anymore for their devices. Some recent rumors have said that the next Google devices will have the Pixel brand, which has been only featured on Chromebooks and Android tablets. The Pixel C is Google's only tablet on sale right now, so it might be possible that all of their devices released from now on will be under the Pixel brand. Google is rumored to hold an event to unveil its latest devices on October 4th.
