We didn’t get any new hardware back at Google I/O, but we’ve heard plenty about a new Nexus 7 on course to be announced sometime this month. Time is running out, but now Engadget has gotten some leaked details that seem to confirm most everything we’ve heard so far.
According to the leaked spec sheet screenshot, the new 7’s will come with (obviously) a 7-inch screen, a quad-core 1.5GHz CPU, front-facing and external cameras, Android 4.3, wireless charging, and a Slim Port for throwing 1080p content up on your TV.

That mostly lines up with the other rumors we’ve seen, including the actual updated model that made its way out into the wild the other day. Apparently the new versions will be a little more expensive, at $230 (16GB) and $270 (32GB) a pop, and the only missing piece is whether or not there’s a resolution bump to help ease that little price hike. Google’s got an event coming on the 24th though. You can bet we’ll find out soon. [Engadget]
