The Google Nexus 7 (2013) 16GB Wi-Fi only tablet would be available only after November 26, as the Play Store listing clearly says, "Leaves warehouse by November 26, 2013." However, both the Nexus 7 (2013) 32GB models will be shipped in up to two business days, claims the Play Store listing. Google globally announced the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet in July this year, and it was the first device running Android 4.3. Interestingly, the Nexus 7 (2013) tablets are still shipping with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, though the update should be available over the air.

The Nexus 7 (2013) tablet comes with a 7-inch full-HD display (1920x1200 pixels), implying a boast-worthy pixel density of 323ppi. It also features scratch-resistant Corning glass. It is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, and features 2GB of RAM. The tablet comes in two storage variants 16GB and 32GB, with no expandable storage.
