Yesterday Google announced the successor of the best Android tablet on the market: a revised version of the Nexus 7. I own the current (old?) version, so I was curious to compare the specs of both trying to understand if it could worth the upgrade.
My Nexus 7 is the 32GB 3G version, for my needs a tablet should have it’s own independent internet connection, so I will compare the LTE-equipped one.

| OS | Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean(Can be upgraded to 4.3) | Android 4.3 Jelly Bean |
| CPU | nVidia Tegra 31.2GHz quad-core | Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro1.5GHz quad-core |
| RAM | 1 GB | 2 GB |
| Display | 7″ 1280×800 | 7″ 1920×1200 |
| Battery | 4325mAh | 3950 mAh |

There are some interesting new features as well, like NFC technology, wireless charging, a rear-camera and HDMI port.
The real question is, do I need to upgrade my tablet? Could I surf web faster, play games better, read news more comfortable with this shiny new gadget?
Maybe yes, but do I need it? Maybe no.
