It looks like Google will bring quite few new things to their next event; a new Nexus tablets and Android 4.2 are to be announced. Some of the most anticipated things are the new Nexus 7 tablets with 3G connectivity and a 10-inch Nexus tablet. There will be also a Nexus reference coming from LG. A 32GB version of the Nexus 7 is apparently confirmed to be revealed, which should achieve great success as customers have shown great interest in it. To top it all; one of the new things that should arrive is 32GB version with 3G, and HSPA+ for the on-the-go connectivity.

So far Google Nexus products have had only Wi-Fi so this is a very important upgrade and should bring more customers that were repulsed by this bottleneck. It was also the main disadvantage of the device as many of the competition already had Wi-Fi. The 10 inch Nexus tablet will be produced by Samsung. Iit will run on Android 4.2 with a 2560x1600 display, the pixel density should be close to the iPad’s Retina display (around 300ppi). The LG Nexus smartphone should also run on the new Android 4.2 and some of the rumored specs are a 1.5GHz quad-core APQ8064 chipset, 8MP camera, 2GB of RAM and 4.7-inch display with 1280x768 resolution.

Android 4.2 will have some new features like user account control so you can have several profiles for different apps. This is a great thing if you want to lend your phone to someone and keep your privacy or maybe if you have kids that like to play on it. Google has already sent the invitations for the event that will take place at the end of October and with all these things coming from them it will attract a lot of attention. As it will be happening the week after Apple's iPad mini unveiling, Google made a clear strategic move with their new budget Nexus tablets. This could give them the advantage for the holiday season, but one thing that will be interesting to see is how the LG “Nexus” smartphone, with high-end specs, will handle itself on the market.
