Google might unveil the latest Nexus 7 device at Google IO 2016 conference between May 18-22 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.

Ecumenical News added that the upcoming product might be a device or a smartphone that could have variants of 7-inch and 5-inch devices with a 3000 mAh battery. Other rumors include that the device could also sport a force touch technology which the Apple iPhone 6S already has.

So what would the Nexus 7 be like? rumors have it that some are expecting a tablet, succeeding the two Nexus 7 generations from Asus, while others believe that it will be the successor of Nexus 6P smartphone.

While these information remains to be unofficial, different media sites are expecting that Nexus 7 will deliver and surpass its previous products. Tech savvy individuals might still have to wait for more updates regarding Google products in the near future.
