ASUS and Google may be working on a new Nexus 7 tablet

It’s been a few years since Google updated the Nexus 7, but the search giant may still be working with ASUS on a third-generation tablet. In a recent interview with Trusted Reviews, ASUS chairman and former CEO Jonney Shih hinted that the company may still release another 7-inch Nexus. According to Shih, the real issue is simply deciding how to improve on what’s already a pretty great tablet. The original Nexus 7 turned heads thanks to its low price, while the sequel added a Full HD display and improved on the design. “But then the next one actually takes a lot of discussion,” he said, adding that we should “stay tuned.” Of course there’s plenty ASUS and Google could do to improve on the Nexus 7. New specs and a sharper display are both obvious choices. We’d also like to see the tablet get a fingerprint reader, USB-C and maybe even a more premium design (assuming the price doesn’t go up too much as a result).
