A device that could be the Nexus 7 2 was spotted this week at FCC running Android 4.3, JellyBean.

The sighting was reported by TechTastic who stated that an Asus device codenamed K008 is actually the successor to the original Google Nexus tablet. It is also running software version JWR11 also known as Android 4.3, JellyBean. The actual documentation for the tablet could be seen here.

The publication also offered a tablet that includes suppliers for various components of the Nexus 7 which revealed the specifications for the tablet such as a 7-inch display with 1920x1200 resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, an Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB RAM, 32GB of storage, 5-megapixel camera, 1.3-megapixel front shooter, NFC and LTE connectivity.

Some of these specifications line up perfectly with some of the previous leaks and rumors.

TechTastic's list of components for this Nexus 7 2 featured a mainboard labeled ME571KL. This could be the actual part that ends up on the device as it has shown up on other sites such as VR-Zone via NCC filings.

The FCC document also contains screenshots which can be seen in the above link. The Nexus name appears twice in the actual documents further pointing to this tablet being the successor to the 2012 7-inch slate.

Reliable tech site Android Authority is pretty much convinced that this device is in fact the Nexus 7 2.

"With all that in mind, it looks like we have positively identified the Nexus 7, and while we'll still hold on to our grain of salt, just to be sure, we'll look forward to see more details about these Asus K008 and Asus K009 device hit the web," wrote the site. "After all, the tablet is rumored to arrive some point in July."
