New Nexus 7 with LTE headed to AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile (update: 32GB LTE model available in the ‘coming weeks’)

Google's new Nexus 7 refresh with LTE headed to AT&T, Verizon and TMobile

Coming as no surprise at all, Google’s just unveiled its newest Nexus 7 tablet at a breakfast meeting in San Francisco this morning. What has caught us off guard, however, is news that the Android 4.3 tablet will bow on three of the US’ top wireless carriers — that’s AT&T, Verizon* and T-Mobile — as a single SKU and with support for LTE. No release date or pricing has yet been announced for the 7-incher, but when it does launch, it’ll be the premier device to ship with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Update: Google’s just released pricing and availability for the new Nexus 7, pegging the WiFi version for a July 30th bow in-store and online. There’ll be two configurations — a 16GB and 32GB — that’ll retail for $229 and $269, respectively. Users that prefer to wait for the LTE-enabled version will have to fork over $349 for a 32GB model, although this variant still doesn’t have a solid street date; Google’s saying it’ll hit retail in the “coming weeks.”

LG G2 reaches the FCC with North American LTE

LG G2 at the FCC

Want to know which North American carriers might offer the LG G2 after August 7th? The FCC is offering a big hint: it just approved a region-appropriate version of the Android flagship. Going under its D801 codename, the G2 variant cleared by the agency supports all the LTE and HSPA frequencies used by AT&T, T-Mobile and large Canadian networks. As such, it’s likely that the smartphone will get a multi-carrier launch next month. The real question is whether or not any CDMA providers (which aren’t included in the filing) will come along for the ride.
