Android N nexus update

Nexus 7 2013 is one of the best android tablet of all time.... considering the price , specifications and overall specification . Nexus 7 was launched with android 4.3 , nd later tasted kitkat, lolipop and mashmellow , now google is all set with android N with expected launching on 18 may 2016 , although a preview version is available to download for developers. Google's promised update of 18 mnths had been already completed for nexus 7 . Despite being a future proof tablet , There's still a 50-50 chance for google to provide android N update for Nexus 7 2013 .

Google appears to be testing Android N preview on the Nexus 5, as well as variants of the Nexus 7 (2013). Code related to Android N preview has been spotted in Google’s repository for hammerhead, the codename of LG Nexus 5.

Specifically, some Nexus 5 code was marked with the “android-n-preview-1” tag. On further digging, we found the same tag on code for Asus Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi (flo) and Nexus 7 (2013) LTE (deb).

Note that the tag is present for all the Nexus devices confirmed to receive N preview (Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player). The tag is not present for older devices like the Nexus 7 (2012) or the Nexus 4.

Now, it’s tempting to look at this as proof that Google is quietly working to surprise us with Android N releases for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013). That might be true, but it may easily be just wishful thinking.

There’s a precedent here – Google did not include the Nexus 4 in its original announcement of the devices that would receive Lollipop. The company backtracked and said the omission of Nexus 4 was a simple mistake. But there’s no guarantee that the same is happening here.

Google may be simply testing Android N on the Nexus 5 to see how the OS runs on older hardware, with no intention to roll it out to users. Or it may have other reasons that we are completely unaware of.

Bottom line, Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) users, is you shouldn’t get too excited – while there is a theoretical possibility that Android N will one day hit your devices, the code mentioned above is not conclusive proof.
