A 3rd-Generation Nexus 7 is still a possibility according to Asus chairman

Google and Asus first partnered up for the original Nexus 7 tablet in 2012, and again with the Nexus 7 2013 the following year, with both tablets offering great specifications for an affordable price. Now it seems as if the two companies could be teaming up once more to produce a 3rd-generation Nexus 7.

According to Trusted Reviews’ interview with Asus chairman, Jonney Shih, Asus and Google have numerous projects on the go. While Shih didn’t go into specifics about what the developmental projects consisted of, other than we should “stay tuned”, he did have this to say about the original Nexus 7 collaboration:

“So, for the [first-generation] Nexus, I think that both parties feel that this will be an exciting product, with this kind of…price and this kind of functionality and quality,” explains the Asus chairman. “Even [the second-generation Nexus 7], we moved to the Full HD screen, and we still believe in this kind of beauty. It still makes sense.”

Shih said that a 3rd-generation Nexus 7 tablet would require “a lot of discussion.”

So, what would fans want to see in a potential 3rd-generation Nexus 7 tablet? It should probably go without saying that it should feature a USB Type-C port, possibly a Quad HD display, and 3GB of RAM, and perhaps the Snapdragon 808 processor (skipping the 810 for obvious reasons, which the upcoming 820 would be too expensive).

Should the screen size stay at 7-inches or perhaps move up to around 7.85-inches while changing to Google’s now preferred aspect ratio of 4:3? If a 3rd-gen Nexus 7 came to pass, what would your specifications wishlist look like?
