As far as the build of the new Nexus 7, the rubberized rear has been replaced with a more matte plastic with the Nexus branding prominently etched. The buttons and microUSB are in the same places as in the old Nexus 7. In original Nexus 7, there was a single speaker on the rear at the bottom of the device, but in the new Nexus 7, a second speaker on the rear of the device has been added; means there are dual speakers now.

However it has been reported that the new slate will hit retail shelves like Office Max starting next week, probably on the 25th right after Google’s announcement. Whether or not the these photos could be trusted, things are looking pretty good. Rumor is swirling around that the 16GB new Nexus 7 will cost $229, while 32GB newer version of Nexus 7 will cost $269.
