O2 U.K. has officially announced that it will be offering the upcoming Nexus 7 LTE on its brand new 4G network, starting September 13, 2013. The British carrier will hold exclusivity over the LTE version of the 7-inch slate at launch, so unfortunately for them, rivals EE and Vodafone will not be selling the tablet any time soon.
The new Nexus 7 goes on sale internationally today, just over a month after making its debut in the United States. You’ll be able to purchase yours from Google Play, and from third-party retailers in the U.K., Germany, France, Spain, and Japan.
We’ve known for some time that LG’s been working on a new Android-powered tablet, and we had a feeling it might get its unveiling at IFA 2013 in Berlin next month. And now that looks increasingly likely after LG began teasing the new G Pad 8.3 on YouTube and the tablet’s first press shot was leaked online.
A pesky multitouch bug affecting the new Nexus 7 is no more, thanks to a new software update that is being rolled out by Google this week. There were concerns that the problem may have been related to hardware — given that it didn’t affect all Nexus 7 tablets — but the “JSS15J” release that’s being issued over-the-air promises to eliminate it.
It also addresses an issue with GPS sensitivity, too.
Google has begun rolling out a security update to LG Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM) smartphones running the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean software. The update is arriving over-the-air with the “JWR66Y” build number, and it is expected to address the latest Android security vulnerabilities.
