Almost certain it will be mini-sim.
SIM is being phased out and will not exist soon, as there is now mini (one down from normal SIM) and Micro (one down from mini, basically just the gold within the sim)
So yeah, the middle one, mini sim, which is the same is iPhone/HOX/S3 etc etc.
Hello you two
It's actually a micro-Sim.
To use your tablet with mobile network data, you must first insert and activate a micro SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card” appears on the tablet’s lock screen.

Thanks to nyijedi for the link.

That's Micro SIM. The even smaller one you describe is a Nano SIM. And technically, the 'regular' SIMs we're used to are Mini SIM.
Full SIM was actually the size of a credit card (which is why we get SIM cards in a card like this -- The large one is actually usable in 'full' SIM devices).
Thanks, @ddlooping. I really thought, the Nexus 7 would have a normal Mini-SIM. Simply because it has enough room for larger SIMs
Good to know, that I will need two Micro-SIM cards (Nexus 7 3G + Nexus 4)...
You're welcome.
SO on the google blog, it says that the Nexus 7 3G will be available for purchase tomorrow. But there is no indication of that on the google play store like there is for the nexus 4. I also just called the google CS line, and they said that they don't have a solid release date yet
Humm, I was thinking of ordering this, but the carrier I use for my existing tablet does not have a micro SIM. Perhaps I should take it to one of the mall stores where they know how to do this stuff properly and have them cut it down for me.

Ordered mine from the UK Play Store a couple of hours ago.
I have the Nexus 7 32GB 3G right here and I'm furious because indeed, it requires a MICRO-SIM.
The slot is large enough for a regular mini-SIM but there is a plastic tray that you place your micro SIM into that artificially makes this slot smaller.
Without the tray there is 1mm missing for the width of a regular mini sizes SIM card.
FAIL!!!
Both Design Fail and Customer Communication Fail!

While it is true that Google could have communicated it better, had you sought out that answer you would have found it easily:

Nexus 7 3G - SIM Or Micro SIM
I ordered a Nexus 7 today and I am wondering if I can transfer the SIM card data from my current SIM card to a micro SIM card by just stopping in a T-Mobile store? Also, do they usually charge for that? I assume that adapters are available so I could use the micro SIM with an adapter in my legacy phone.
Also, if I insert a T-Mobile micro SIM will I get regular T-Mobile service on the Nexus 7 or does T-Mobile (US) somehow restrict tablets or charge more for that?
Also, do I understand correctly that a SIM card has to be in the Nexus 7 for it to work, even if I am trying to connect via wifi?

1,2) Not sure.
3) Your Nexus 7 will be blocked from the network if you try to insert a TMo phone SIM in the tablet.
4) No, the N7 works just fine without a SIM.

The Nexus 7 3g was bought as a gift for my brother and my experience is as follows:
The Nexus 7 3g from the play store is shipped with an AT&T sim.
Nopes. you don't need the sim in the nexus 7 for it to connect to Wi-fi.
As for the swapping - I have the T-mo micro-sim on my Note II and when I popped it with the Nexus 7, it read the Sim and all that, but did not transfer any data (probably because it is locked on to my Note II).
Just my two cents.
Hi! Is it possible to use viber on a 3g n7. I'll buy a 3g nexus 7 when it releases and i don't want to buy a new phone.
Dunno if it will work, but a friend just put sim card at his phone to get the code, then put it on ipad again and use the code.
Does the nexus 7 2013 have support for internet via otg?
My friend wants to buy a 16GB wifi model and he has a huawei flash drive with sim card which provides internet.
There is no concern about rooting and stuff, I can help him with that.

Would you mind posting a link to this device, please? It sounds like you're describing a dongle that provides cellular connectivity which can connect to our tablets, but I I'm not able to find any such dongle with a micro-USB port.
EDIT-
Haven't really had time to read through these in-depth, but it looks like these guides might point you in the right direction:

i need help my nexus 6p accept att sim cards but not t mobile one any reason ??
Hi everyone I need a bit of help, right now I am with Straight Talk using a gsm sim. I have been looking around to buy an unlocked Axon 7 and was wondering if I buy one will I be able to just put my sim card that I have in my current phone in the new phone and will it transfer? I'm confused on how this works. Thank you
It should work providing the phone model has compatible bands and the APN details are set up properly.
According to GSM Arena the ASUS ZenPad Z8s uses a micro SIM-The A7 uses a nano SIM. So carefully cut your SIM card to size-or order a replacement. The A7 covers LTE band 17 the Zenpad doesn't so you may have better coverage with the A7.
You dont need to cut the SIM card to size. There are SIM adapters that you can put a nano SIM in that will convert it to a micro SIM. Normally you can just walk into your carrier store and request one of these, they are usually free. Or you can buy one online for a few $. Right now i have a nano SIM in my Galaxy Note 4 (a spare phone, Axon 7 is primary), it has micro SIM slot.
