Second Generation Nexus 7 Sales Expected to Be Less Than 8 Million Units in 2013

Nexus 7 2

The second generation Nexus 7 is one of the most anticipated tablet devices launching in the second half of 2013. Naturally, the curiosity is centered around how much Google can better the overall Nexus 7 experience. Towards this, wild rumors are claiming the new Nexus 7 will come with an even better display featuring 1980 x 1200 pixels, along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chip at its core. Further, the new Nexus tablet is also rumored to have a 5 megapixel camera at the rear, along with a 1.2 megapixel unit at the front to allow for video chats. Above all, the new Nexus 7 is also expected to be slotted in the same US$199 and $249 price bracket as the present generation Wi-Fi only models.

Several Taiwan based vendors have estimated the new Nexus 7 will push out 8 million units this year. However, that figure is being refuted by the upstream supplier chain network that claims a far more robust competition this year could limit Nexus 7 2 sales figures to well below the projected 8 million.

The biggest competitor of the Nexus 7 2 will be the Apple iPad Mini 2, which is likely to be released this fall. This apart, similar tablet offerings from Acer, Asus, Lenovo, and others are also expected to make things difficult for the Nexus 7 2. The first gen Nexus 7 had gone on to record a sales figure of 6 million units last year. Meanwhile, rumors claim the tablet will be launched towards the end of July.
