The Google Nexus 7 2 rumors are once again piling up as analyst Paul Semenza claims the device will launch this year before the iPad Mini successor.

Google will release the tablet earlier in an attempt to beat Apple to the market. The iPad Mini with Retina display is expected to be introduced in the third of fourth quarter of this year.

Apple's next-generation mini tab will have around the same resolution as the third- and fourth-generation iPad models. Semenza belives that Google will also equip the new Nexus 7 with a powerful display. It could end up being close to the level of the Samsung Nexus 10 if Google chooses to mimic Apple's strategy. more >>

The company will offer the device in different colors in order to mimic the success of the iPod Touch.

Kuo also stated that the low-cost iPhone will feature a 4-inch display, but its exterior will be made from a super-thin plastic casing mixed with glass fiber. This will make it stronger and thinner than typical smartphone plastic casings, according to Kuo. more >>
