Fishy Google Nexus 8 benchmark suggests octa-core 1.3 GHz SoC in tow

Posted on August 25, 2015August 25, 2015 by Adrian Diaconescu

The questionable purported leaks concerning future members of the Nexus family keep on coming, with the latest story centered on the stock Android-running tablet that tipsters said wasn’t in the pipeline for this year.A screenshot of a supposed Geekbench 3 test clearly lists the Nexus 8 name under both “Model” and “Model ID.” Almost too clearly, which makes the rumor that much harder to rely ...

Should HTC branch out from smartphones?

Posted on September 30, 2014 by Joe Levi

HTC has been making smartphones for a very long time. The company was often used by big-name OEMs as the manufacturing company that built their hardware. Compaq and HP (back when they were in the personal digital assistant business) both used HTC to build their devices, which were arguably some of the best pieces of consumer electronics of the day. But what about an HTC tablet?HTC TabletsHTC has made some very high-end smartphones recently. The

HTC Nexus tablet could be just over a month away

Posted on August 22, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

We’re looking forward to a ton of hardware launches about to get underway, not just at IFA itself in early September, but also at other events taking place in the same general timeframe: Motorola’s Chicago event, or maybe even that rumored Apple event a few days later. But then there are also new devices we’re expecting that aren’t yet attached to any particular launch event – stuff like the new Nexus phone and tablet. Heck, knowing Google there might not be any big to-do at all, ...

New HTC Nexus tablet hardware rumors emerge, as regulatory evidence builds

Posted on August 8, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Early last month, rumors suggested that this HTC-made Nexus tablet we keep hearing about was going to be a hardware powerhouse, boasting specs like an unheard-of 5GB of RAM and 64-bit NVIDIA K1 SoC. Only problem was, that source was quickly identified as a phony. Since then we’ve talked a little more about HTC’s plans for multiple tablets, but today we’re ...

Could Nexus 8 confirmation really come this easily?

Posted on July 9, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

What’s next for Google’s tablet aspirations? We’re nearly a year removed from the launch of the second-gen Nexus 7, and it’s still uncertain where Google intends to go from here. Rumors have long talked about the possibilities of a Nexus 8 or Nexus 9, and while a fair amount of circumstantial evidence has accompanied those theories, it’s been notoriously difficult to talk with much certainty about the next ...

Nexus 8 could still be coming, but no one seems to know when

Posted on June 26, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Are you happy with the hardware we saw emerge from Google I/O? Granted, it’s a very different event than anything along the lines of an MWC or a CES, but we still often look forward to seeing one or two devices with close Google ties emerge from the conference. And while in the past those have included things like Nexus tablets, this year the rumored spread failed to emerge: no Nexus 8, nor even a Nexus 9 (or was there?). But were ...

A recent massive leak suggested that Google and HTC were at work on a beastly followup tablet to last year’s Nexus 7, and that set the wheels in motion for what will likely be a near-endless stream of leaks from now until the announcement of the alleged device. We’re now learning that in a promotional image for Android L featured by Google, the company may have just shown off an HTC Nexus 9 render. Let’s take a look.There are a ...

Could this really be the Nexus 8?

Posted on June 5, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

The Nexus family of devices is in a state of limbo at the moment. While we’ve seen some evidence suggesting that Google’s been preparing for a couple new Nexus models, these rumors of Android Silver have cast new doubt upon whether or not we’ll actually see the commercial release of that hardware. But for what it’s worth, we’ve been talking about a possible Nexus 8 tablet, one that might be made by HTC, and

Nexus 6, Nexus 8 names show up in source files (but that may fall short of confirmation)

Posted on May 13, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

When it comes to the next generation of Nexus-series Android devices, questions abound. Will the Nexus 6 really be another LG model, drawing from the soon-to-launch G3? And what about a new tablet? Could HTC really be making it this time around, and is this the model we’ve seen referred to as codename Flounder? And if it’s an 8.9-inch model, would it be the Nexus 8 or Nexus 9? It’s going to be a while before we have all of those answers, but ...

Evidence emerges of HTC Nexus, along with codenames “Flounder” and “Molly”

Posted on May 9, 2014 by Rithvik Rao

Yesterday, we learned of the possibility of the next Nexus’s codename to be “Flounder,” through a Chrome bug report. We were enlightened that this was likely an upcoming Nexus device, and that it was running a test build of Android. Today, through an Android 4.4.3 changelist, we’re learning that this “Flounder” device could perhaps be manufactured by HTC. Also, we have learned of the possible existence of another device from Google, “Molly,” perhaps a Nexus 5 successor. ...

Nexus 8′s official codename might have just surfaced

Posted on May 8, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Are we getting a another Nexus tablet? At this point, the ultimate fate of the Nexus series in general may be up in the air, but rumors have still been clinging to the idea that this year might bring us a Nexus 8. We’ve heard a few guesses along the way at what to expect from the hardware, but there’s not been much at all in the way of hard evidence to confirm this tablet even exists. We may not be quite ...
