Google's Nexus 7 was released a few years back, and while it has received updates, fans are already waiting for the release of the Nexus 8. Nexus 7 was more of a change in the internal specs and did not have that much impact on the look of the device. But according to rumors, Nexus 8 will have an 8-inch screen, and it will be released with a new Android operating system called Android L, which will fit perfectly with the rumored 64-bit Tegra K1 processor, Air Herald reports.

Likewise, it is rumored that the new tablet will have about 4 GB of RAM and a storage capacity between 16 GB and 64 GB depending on the model. The rumored price is close to $400 for the cheapest model. Accordingly, the Nexus 8 will be released at around the time that the Nexus 6 was rolled out, so the speculation is that Nexus 8 will be available toward the end of the year, probably during the holiday season. So you if you're planning to buy a new tablet you might want to wait.

According to IDigital Times, the HTC Nexus 8 will have the signature "aluminum zero-gap construction, front-facing stereo speakers and a 3-megapixel front facing camera and an 8-megapixel OIS rear-facing camera." Based on a report from Android Police, the Wi-Fi only version will be 8.91 x 5.98 x 0.31 inches and weighs 418 grams, while the LTE version will weigh 427 grams. The 16 GB model will sell starting at $399, and the 32 GB will cost about $499. The LTE model will be around $600.

It is clear that HTC will be in charge of manufacturing the upcoming tablet, which was first rumored to be released in July. Nexus 7 and Nexus 7 2013 were done by Asus. Nexus 8 could be marketed as a powerful tablet. It will have an 8.9-inch screen and is speculated to have 221 DPI and a 2048 x 1440 pixel screen resolution. The expected release is gaining a lot of attention because HTC does not have that much experience in the manufacture of tablets.
