Google is expected to launch the next-gen Nexus 7 tablet this year with a new operating system. Details here!

Google's Andromeda on Nexus 7 tablet will be a game changer. The operating system could be the biggest strength as it will feature desktop-like capabilities. It is also plausible that the new OS will compete head-to-head with Windows or even Mac OS.

Is Andromeda too good to be true?

Perhaps Google wants to end the powerful smartphone competition by focusing on software optimization and faster OS update release. Plus, making the new Andromeda as a universal OS since there will come a time when mobile users want those features instead of a bigger RAM or a bigger battery each year. A software-optimized device would be much appreciated and make more sense.

However, it might not be a merge. The idea of Andromeda OS will likely be a cross-pollinating system but not merging together Chrome and Android OS. It would take more efforts if they're to be merged since all developers would be forced to make the apps compatible to the new OS. According to NCIX Tech Tips, Google might bring Chrome to Android instead.

The details on Google Nexus 7 2017 tablet is still scarce but reports suggest that it will make a debut this year. Recode learned that Andromeda will not kill-off Android and Chrome in an instant but rather, make it as an option on its first introduction.

Rounding up the specifications, the Nexus 7 2017 tablet will reportedly get a 4 gigs of RAM and 32 GB of inbuilt storage. Rumor has it that the device will come equipped with a Snapdragon 820. However, the problem with this chip is that it will be an old series when the Nexus 7 comes out.

Users in Android community expect the device to have at least a Snap 835 instead. Nonetheless, these specifications aren't yet to be authorized, thus, anything remains to be seen. Additionally, the 7-inch tablet will likely sport an AMOLED screen boasting 2560 x 1440 screen resolutions.
