Refreshed Nexus 7 to be announced at Google I/O

With the big two of CES and MWC out of the way, it’s time for Nexus season to begin. As Google I/O looms closer, we are beginning to hear more and more about what is about to be shown off by the company, come May. Google usually shows off the best that it has conjured up in the year and over the years at I/O. And this year too, the company is rumoured to be preparing a star-studded cast for those lucky enough to make it there. Digitimes says the Mountain View company will unveil the second-gen Nexus 7 running the next iteration of Android, widely believed to be v5.0 Key Lime Pie.The reports further state that Asus and Google will be renewing their partnership for the new Nexus 7. We are not hearing any new names for the tablet. According to the rumour, the tablet will run Android 5.0, which will also be unveiled at Google I/O.

For starters, we hope that means a 32GB base model and a higher-res display.
