Nexus 8 tablet rumors: Speculations on the features of the Nexus 8 tablet will turn a year old very soon, fueled primary by an image [see below] that was spotted in Google Android’s website. The photo shows a woman holding a Nexus slab that seems bigger than the current Nexus 7 available.Based on recent reports, it depicts the supposed upcoming tablet as having as being 8.9-inch big and having a premium price tag for its possibly high-end features.
Although the Nexus 8 was said to appear by the holiday season of 2013, nothing was seen in sight. But a new set of predictions has been available lately, this one from Pocket Lint who notes that the Nexus 8 will have an 8.9-inch screen, citing a note from IHS Technology.
The technology consultancy firm told CNET that that is familiar with Google’s plans to release a larger Nexus tablet later this year. It said that the slab will have a “high performance screen,” signifying that the new tablet will have high-end features.
Production for the Nexus 8 tablet is said to begin this summer (July or August 2014) and quantities will be limited. There won’t be as much supply as the Nexus 7 and IHS Technology notes that “it will have a premium price tag to support the specifications.”
The source who shared her knowledge on the Nexus 8 details said that she “would not be surprised if its higher than $299,” reported Pocket Lint. If so, it would put the upcoming device in the range of an Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. The latter has an excellent screen for the money with a 2560 x 1600 resolution. It’s expected then that this would appear on the Nexus 8 as well.
IHS Technology also said that it is expecting the Nexus 8 tablet to be manufactured by HTC. Previous rumors have suggested that LG and Asus are both in consideration to create the device.
Rumors n the unit is only expected to increase as the market nears the summer season where product releases from notable tech giants are slated.
