The new Nexus 7’s official unveiling might still be a few days away, but impatient tablet fans can get a peek right now: @evleaks seems to have come across the alleged device’s official press render. The image doesn’t do much to confirm the 7-inch tablet’s internal specifications, but what we can see matches previous leaks, giving us a clearer view of the device’s rumored 5MP rear-facing camera and and a branded backside — now lacking the dimples of the original. A pair of speakers can be seen on the rear’s north and south ends and volume, power and a microphone input line the tablet’s right edge.

On the front we can see an offset front-facing shooter, an underlining notification LED and what is most likely Android 4.3. Although the press shot doesn’t reveal anything about the device’s screen, a Best Buy ad featuring it pegs it as a 1,920 x 1,200 display, pricing the 16GB variant of the upcoming tablet at $229 –$40 less than the reported price of the slate’s 32GB model. Phone Arena says the leaked ad is scheduled to run next week, placing the circular’s promised Tuesday availability for the Nexus 7 on July 30th. We’ll wait for Google to give us the full story on the 24th before jumping the gun, but if you just can’t wait, feel free to ogle Best Buy’s unreleased insert after the break.

As Google’s press event next week creeps up on us, rumors of the next-generation Nexus 7 are heating up big-time. A leaked product information tag of what is said to be the second-gen Nexus 7 shows us what we might expect in the refreshed tablet. These features include Android 4.3, wireless charging, and dual cameras.

The photo suggest that the tablet will also sport an unspecified quad-core 1.5GHz processor, as well as a 5-megapixel rear camera with a 1.2-megapixel front-facing snapper. The 7-inch display will remain as we’ve known in the past, but there will be support for outputting 1080p video on your TV. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the tablet will sport a 1080p resolution, but one can be curious about such a notion.

The wireless charging is a curious thing to note as well, but it’s not all too surprising. The Nexus 4 has wireless charging capabilities, and while we haven’t seen a Google tablet with such support yet, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the next-generation Nexus 7 pack such a feature.

As for a launch date for the Nexus 7 2, it’s been previously tipped that we’ll see the device sometime later this month, which goes right along with Google’s recent announcement of an event coming next week on July 24. That could be the day where we’ll see Android 4.3 in the flesh, as well as this heavily-rumored Nexus 7. Of course, we’ll be there to give you the up-and-up on whatever goes down, so be sure to stay tuned.

The ASUS-made Nexus 7 2 – also known as the reboot of the original 7-inch tablet – appears to have had a collection of up-close photos and video leak this afternoon. At this point in time we’re at least a few weeks out from a full launch of this device, while the existence of the hardware itself hasn’t yet been confirmed by Google, ASUS, or anyone in-between. This machine appears to take on an appearance that’s similar to the original, coming here instead with a slimmer facade and a landscape-aimed back rather than its original portrait angle.

It’s important at this point – and more than once – to remind you that this could very well be a prototype of a final product rather than a final production-ready amalgamation of hardware. The same grain of salt should be spread on the entirety of this release of information as even the source, Android Central, suggests that they are not entirely confident in the legitimacy – or just the finality – of the specifications attached to this hardware. That said, feel free to entertain the notion.

NOTE: The image you’re seeing above is a real-deal photo of the Nexus 7, the original edition. Below are the leaked photos this article speaks of.

The label attached to this possible Nexus 7 reboot reads ME571K_PR1_SKU2, and the hardware is indeed manufactured by ASUS. This is the same as the original, and it would appear that ASUS is sticking to their same design language here through the summer of 2013.

You’ll find a 1.2-megapixel camera on the front of this device and a 5-megapixel camera on the back, and the back-facing camera seems to be placed extremely close to the headphone jack that sits on the short end, right up in the same place it was on the original.

Have a peek at the images shared here and let us know what you think. Is this the real-deal final product, or an early iteration, or is it something else entirely? Have yourself a run down possibility lane with our most recent feature on this device, Nexus 7 2 and the details you want for a reboot.
