Google might be looking to announce the next gen Nexus 7 tablet at an upcoming event with its Android Head, Sundar Pichai. However, it seems that Best Buy is in a little hurry, as the multinational company has already started accepting pre-orders for the next gen Google Nexus 7 tablet. This sudden move by Best Buy must have spoiled Google’s plans for unveiling the Nexus 7 tablet, unless it is a pre-planned move by the two companies.

 

Although accepting pre-orders for Google Nexus 7 before the official announcement was definitely a revelation, when it comes to the specs and pricing details of the slate there was no surprising at all because the images of Best Buy’s inventory and circular system showing the price and specs of Nexus 7 leaked a few days back.

 

Nevertheless, here is how Best Buy talked about the new tablet on its site:
