We are expecting to see an updated Nexus 7 in July, and we have been assuming the prices will remain the same or go down. A report from DigiTimes is telling us otherwise. They are reporting it will come in at $229, and they didn't suggest that there will be two storage options like now. All they said was that it would be 16GB. I can't imagine that Google would increase the price, considering it's one of the most popular Android tablets. I also think they will continue to offer two versions, 16GB and 32GB.

So my theory is that the $229 price tag will be for the 32GB version and we will see the 16GB version for $179. Either way, I just don't see Google increasing the price. What do you guys think?

If they are really updating to a 1080p panel and a newer qualcomm processor, there’s simply no way the price is going to go down.

I think DigiTimes never gets anything right so I wouldn’t trust anything from them.
