Screenshots of an alleged webchat with Asus Live Chat Support have emerged online hinting at when we might see a launch of the Nexus 7 reboot, rumoured to sport a landmark 330 pixels-per-inch (ppi) Full HD 1080p display.
The shots come via Reddit and may be a hoax, but they do depict a transcript of a chat session from an Android device where a user asks an Asus support representative a series of questions about the Asus K009. That codename has previously been associated in leaks and rumours with the Nexus 7 reboot.
Initially the support agent outlines that the device ‘should be released before the ending of Q2,’ but when pushed further says ‘before the ending of July’.
There are a few errors in the dialogue and it’s not clear whether the rep is a native English speaker, which may explain some of the gaffes. We’d guess that the Asus employee may have meant the end of Q3 for that late July date.
The user then asks about specs and while the agent states the specs are not confirmed they do reveal some ‘basic specifications’, which include a 7-inch LED-backlit display with the rumoured 1980x1200 Full HD pixel resolution, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a 4,000mAh battery, Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), NFC, 4G and a 5-megapixel camera.
Asus’ rep then goes on to clarify: ‘This is internal specs...but it is not available to the public as yet.’
The rumour mill would also suggest that there’s a K008 version in the works without 3G/4G data connectivity.
We happen to think this is legit, primarily because all the other rumours surrounding Android 4.3 Jelly Bean suggest it will launch in July aboard a Nexus branded device. That fits pretty well with this leaked info.
