Mountain View-based Internet giant Google is reportedly gearing up for the launch of a successor for last year’s Nexus 7 tablet PC, and might release it on shelves as soon as July, a new report on the matter suggests.

We have already reported on a possible new 7-inch Nexus tablet coming from Google and ASUS, with no official confirmation on the matter available as of now, but it seems that we might indeed be nearing a formal unveiling of the device.

According to Reuters, ASUS and Google might pack the new tablet PC with a thinner bezel compared to the previous device, and could also boost its screen resolution.

Furthermore, the Android-based slate is expected to pack a Qualcomm processor inside when it arrives in July, just as previous rumors on the matter suggested, yet it remains to be seen whether this will pan out or not.
