32GB Nexus 7 tablets appear at retail with $249 price tag, October 29th street date

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/19/32gb-nexus-7-249-oct-29th-leak/)

Ahead of Google's [Android event on the 29th](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/17/google-android-nexus-event-october-29th/) there's additional confirmation of a [storage upgrade for the Nexus 7](http://www.engadget.com/tag/32gb,nexus7), as 32GB units have now been spotted on shelves at US retailers. Seemingly dead-set on matching the [LG E960](http://www.engadget.com/tag/lg,e960) "Mako" Nexus G for the title of worst-kept secret, we've received this photo of a tag for the new unit at a Sam's Club (with a placeholder price), while reports on _Android Central_ and _The Verge_ mention hardware spotted at Staples locations with one person actually succeeding in buying one. All of that follows a [listing on the Staples website](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/16/32gb-nexus-7-staples-advantage/) and one Japanese buyer apparently [receiving one early by accident](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/08/nexus-7-32gb-accidentally-delivered/). According to the tags and receipts the new units are scheduled to go on sale the same day as the Android event, and at the same $249 price of the current 16GB model.
