Google Nexus 8 Release Date: June Google I/O Conference; Features New Android 4.5 Processor?
Google fans are expecting the Nexus 8 to be released alongside other anticipated gadgets, like Google Nexus 10 2, during the Google I/O Conference 2014 on June 25.
Details on the Nexus 8 result in rumors that it will be an 8-inch tablet that runs on Android 4.5 Lollipop, instead of the newly released KitKat version.
The Motley Fool website stated, "The Snapdragon 610/615 will pack a bit more 'oomph,' and would be the logical successors to the Snapdragon 600-esque (it is Snapdragon S4 Pro's CPU with Snapdragon 600"²s graphics block) chip found inside of the 2013 edition of the Nexus 7. But Qualcomm has indicated that these parts will be available 'by the end of 2014,' putting them out of the running. The higher end Snapdragon 808/810 parts won't be available until 2015, so those are out, too."
It is expected that Nexus 8 will be released at a relatively cheaper price than the Apple iPad Mini, but with upgraded specifications compared to its predecessors. An NVIDIA Tegra system with a 64-bit processor and at least 4GB RAM will put the latest tablet flagship slightly on top of the casual gaming category.
Gotta Be Mobile teased that HTC turns out to be the most competitive manufacturer to carry Nexus 8, the same company who manufactured the pioneer Nexus One.
