Google’s plan of announcing the 32GB Nexus 7 along with the new Nexus 10 tablet and LG Nexus 4 smartphone was ruined when the warning for the Hurrican Sandy was issued. The company cancelled the highly anticipated Android event and is yet to announce a new date for the event.
The new upgraded model 32GB Nexus 7 was expected to get announced on October 29th and go on sale right after the event, but things didn’t went according to the plan. Although Google has not made the official announcement yet, at least one retailer in the US has started selling the new 32GB Nexus 7 model and it is now available for purchase on its stores. As reported by Droid-Life, the 32GB model is on sale at Office Depot at a price of $249, while the 16GB Nexus 7 that was selling for $249 perviously is now available for $199. Just like the Google Play store, the 8GB model that used to sell for $199 is no longer available for purchase at this retailer.
The 32GB Nexus 7 is on display at Office Depot stores and several users have confirmed that they have been able to buy this new model, that Google has yet to announce officially. While only Office Depot is reportedly selling the new model of Nexus 7, we expect others who have it in stock will follow the trend sooner or later, with or without Google’s announcement.
