Android L and Nexus 8 Release Date Rumored

Rumors propose that Google is currently working on a few new products. These devices include new Nexus 8 or Nexus 9 tablet, Nexus 6 Smartphone and a new HTC Nexus 9.

Earlier, rumors suggested the release of a device named Nexus 8. However, rumors indicate towards a device that would be called Nexus 9 rather than the Nexus 8. Previously, Google unveiled the new Nexus 7 (2013) soon after the event of Google I/O therefore several customers expected the same thing this time. Unfortunately, Google did not release any new product after the event.

The foremost rumor began to swirl in the month of June after the emergence of rumors related to the HTC Nexus tablet. However, these rumors held back because of the news of new Android L which is an update of Kitkat 4.4.4.

Last week, HTC confirmed all the rumors associated with HTC Nexus 9. Nevertheless, today the company would probably declare the launch date of HTC Nexus 9.

A great leak verified the rumors related to the arrival of a new Nexus tablet. Moreover, it also confirmed that HTC would manufacture the new device with a display screen of nearly 8.9 inch.

NVIDIA, the American manufacture of hardware unit disclosed a few legal documents that validate the product. The company talked about some features of the new device in a 65 pages long court document. It stated that they intend to power the HTC Nexus 9 tablets with NVIDIA K1.

Moreover, it said that the company would possibly release HTC Nexus 9 Tablet in the third quarter of 2014. The third quarter ends in September and the most recent leak proposed that the device is merely a few weeks away.

Paul O’ Brien, the famous Android developer and devotee Tweets that his resources, verified the release date of HTC Nexus 9 and Android L.

As per the source, Google plans to declare a brand new HTC Nexus tablet on the 16^th of October. Afterwards he confirmed that obviously it will enter the market along with the Android L or Android 4.5. However, instead of release date it is merely an initial announcement.

It signifies that Google will unveil all the three products together in the month of October. The three devices are the new HTC Nexus 9, Motorola Nexus 6 Smartphone and Android L.

The company released Android 4.4.4 Kitkat along with Nexus 5 on the 31^st of October. Both the two items reached the markets of the entire world just after a few weeks. Therefore, people are looking for towards a similar kind of thing, the arrival of android L and the new Nexus devices.

It is pretty noteworthy that the source of Brien proposed a wrong release date for Nexus 5 which makes the release date doubtful. However, few people still trust his sources as he has provided accurate news in past years.

However, he did not cite anything related to a new Nexus Smartphone. Releasing a new version of Android with two new devices is quite difficult task. Following are the specs grounded on the past various rumors of Nexus 9 and Nexus 6.

Nexus 9 Specs (Rumored):

8.9-inch 2048 x 1440 Full HD display (4:3 aspect ratio)
NVIDIA Tegra K1 Quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM (64-bit)
16/32GB storage configurations
Android 4.5 or 5.0 (L Release)
8 Megapixel OIS rear and 3 MP front camera
Zero-gap aluminum unibody design
HTC signature front facing speakers

Nexus 6 Specs (Rumored):

5.2-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad-HD Display
2.7 GHz Snapdragon 805 Quad-core Processor with 3GB of RAM
24GB of storage (probably 32GB, with some being used)
13 Megapixel Rear Camera with OIS, 2.1 Front
Android L Release
Usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and more
Built by Motorola
Front Facing Speakers like the Moto X.

Some of the rumors proposed that the company would name it Nexus 5 again rather than the Nexus 6. The main reason behind this decision is the display screen of the device that is not 6 inches. Nevertheless, these are all rumors and leaks, but finally things are beginning to appear.

Previously, Google unveiled Nexus 5 and Android 4.4.4 Kitkat on the very last day of October. If the company is going to follow the similar trend, then we can expect Nexus Smartphone, Nexus tablet, Android 4.5 or 5.0 L in the next month.

Remember that strange guy from high-school who never seems to be paying any attention to classes and is completely absorbed by his doodles and sketches? That’s was me 14 years ago. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember - according to my mom, since I was in diapers - and that has never changed - except for the diaper part. For a very long time I thought that animations and graphic design are my calling, but two years ago I got side-tracked and started building an interactive website with a couple of friends. It received instant gratification from fellow internet users, and that’s when I realized that the virtual medium is where I belong. I can freely share my passions with others, work on ingenious new projects and find the most fascinating information about, well, everything. I spend most of my free time writing reviews for crazy gadgets on ArgyllFreePress, I work as an interactive designer for an independent firm and I also received my Fine Arts degree from the University of Oxford.
