Rumours to date have suggested that Google will not release another 7-inch Nexus tablet and will instead go with a 9-inch Nexus 9 model built by HTC. But that does not mean that it’s done with the smaller form factor. A new FCC filing now confirms this. Documents identify the Google NX-74751 as a new 7-inch tablet.
Going through the various documents, we can tell see that the Google NX74751 will be powered by a NVIDIA Tegra processor. In terms of connectivity, we can expect it to come with LTE (bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 17), WCDMA GSM, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC. It will also come with a 2,480mAh battery. Another document indicates that the Google NX74751 will make it to North America.
While it would be easy to jump to the conclusion that Google is in fact readying a 7-inch Nexus tablet, another explanation is more likely. The Google NX74751 is likely none other than the Project Tango tablet announced earlier this year. Google has already indicated that it will go on sale before the end of the year in limited quantities and the FCC filing would suggest that the launch is getting closer. The specifications also match nicely: 7-inch display, NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor,Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE and 4G LTE.
It all checks out except for one fact: The FCC documents show Compal as the manufacturer. Previously Google has said that it was in discussions with LG to do so. Maybe things have changed on that front.
Thanks, tipster!

I am most curious to see what Google has in store with this tablet. Although, I am still interested in the XT1254 “Droid Turbo” by Motorola. There seems to have been some su-called leaked images a test around the middle of August, but nothing more. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could at least reveal something about whether this is a true device or just a gimmick.
Jag är mest kuriös om vad Google göra med den här surfplatter. Dock, jag fortfarande intresserad av XT1254:n “Droid Turbo” av Motorola. Det verkar som det var så-kallad “läckt” bilder av ett test i mitten av augusti men ingen mer sedan. Jag skulle gilla gärna om någon skulle kunna säga mer om den här enhet.
Not much has surfaced about the XT1254 since mid-August unfortunately…
