In October last year, Google unveiled their latest Nexus device: the LG-made Nexus 5. Almost twelve months later, and the Nexus 5 remains the newest Nexus. Other phones like the Moto G and OnePlus One have stepped into the void, but the Nexus family line has ceased… until now. According to The Wall Street Journal and The Verge, Google is soon to unveil a new Nexus device: an HTC-made Nexus 9 tablet.
News of the Nexus 9 was first broke earlier this month, when a patent lawsuit filed by Nvidia mentioned the Nexus 9 by name and slated it for a ‘third quarter 2014’ release. They also stated that the tablet would use their latest Tegra K1 mobile processor. Now, it seems that accidental release was right on the money.
No further specifications about the device have been released, but previous leaks have suggested an 8.9-inch 2048×1440 display, stereo front-facing speakers, 16 or 32 GB of internal storage and 2 or 4GB RAM. Of course, the tablet will launch alongside the forthcoming Android L release of Android, and will come with that new OS onboard.
The Nexus 9 is also suspected to come with some unique accessories, including a keyboard cover first unveiled by Android Police. The keyboard cover will pair using NFC and Bluetooth 4.0, and will attach to the tablet magnetically.
We’re already preparing for the arrival of the new Google with a range of Nexus 9 accessories. Once the tablet is officially announced, we’ll bring you more Nexus 9 cases, covers, chargers and pretty much everything else you could want for a new tablet.
