The Google Nexus 7 is one of the most desirable tablets around, and according to the latest rumors it’s going to become a lot more so come May, when the next generation of the slate is expected to be announced.

According to a report by DigiTimes citing upstream supply chain sources, ASUS and Google are currently working to unveil the next generation Nexus 7 tablet packing a full HD display at the upcoming Google I/O 2013. The tablet is also alleged to boast a thinner display border giving it a fresher look.

Thankfully, all those updates aren’t going to cost an arm and a leg, and in fact, the new Nexus 7 is expected to cost the same $199 and $249 for the 16GB and 32GB model, respectively.

DigiTimes also points out that the Nexus 7 is having a hard time gathering dust on store shelves, with more than 6 million units being sold already. A total of 10 million Nexus 7 tablets will have been purchased by the end of the year, according to the same source’s estimates.
