With machine Silver rumors brewing, and LG's knowledge Hong indicating so as to the manufacturer doesn't be inflicted with a Nexus phone popular the cards, the doom of the Nexus line in the function of a sum total has been sort of up popular the air.
We don't be inflicted with news with reference to whether a Nexus phone exists, but we get something done be inflicted with in a row correlated to HTC's Volantis (or Flounder), an 8.9" Nexus tablet. The in a row provided to us indicates on the cards specs, facial appearance, and pricing, in the function of well in the function of an near the beginning look by the form thing, though the images we be inflicted with don't appear to befall final renderings of the device.
This in a row won't befall treated in the function of a rumor, since we feel sure of yourself popular our in a row, and we've heard with reference to Volantis from multiple sources in the function of near the beginning in the function of Q1 2014. This is lone of the rare instances anywhere we determination befall sharing a source image.
According to our in a row, the tablet is internally referred to in the function of the Nexus 9, though this brand possibly will loose change rather than it comes to sell. Here's what did you say? We've heard so far popular the specs territory:
8.9" spectacle by 2048x1440 (281ppi)
NVIDIA Logan 64-bit CPU (Tegra K1)
2GB RAM
16/32GB home storage space
8MP OIS focal camera, 3MP front facing camera
Aluminum zero-gap construction
Stereo front-facing speakers
8.91"x5.98"x0.31" body (that's 22.63x15.19x0.79cm)
418g (or 427g with LTE) (that's 14.74/15.1 ounces)
Used for reference, the 2013 Nexus 7 is 0.34" thick, and weighs 290g (or 299g with LTE). Samsung's fresh Galaxy Tab S 8.4, meanwhile, is a svelte 0.26" thick, weighing popular by 298g, making Volantis thicker and heavier, though aluminum construction comes with heft compared to plastic.
Used for the sake of clarity, I've redrawn the image higher than in the function of loyally in the function of on the cards less, and illuminated the spectacle.
Real rancid the bat, Volantis looks like the dear toddler of LG's Nexus 5 and ASUS' 2013 Nexus 7 (and maybe the iPad Mini), but the image higher than observably doesn't quite correspond with the listed facial appearance.
HTC's at this moment signature front-facing stereo speakers are nowhere to befall found, and the casing (which resembles the soft soupзon back of the current Nexus 7) doesn't exactly look like an aluminum zero-gap construction. Additionally, 2048x1440 isn't a 4:3 aspect ratio, though it's on the cards so as to the 4:3 specification is accounting used for the screen real estate lost to software nav buttons and a status saloon.
It is likely so as to what did you say? Are listed are permitted specs, while the image is an near the beginning conscript of the hardware's manufacturing design. From the in a row accessible to us, it's unmistakable so as to matching specs are listed popular several seats, so we feel justly sure of yourself popular their validity compared to the image.
From the in a row accessible to us (beyond the higher than image), we've and learned more or less on the cards fee points. Real at this moment, the tablet is considered to start by $399 used for the 16GB version, with the step up to 32GB estimate $499. LTE connectivity would occur by an spare cost, perhaps popular the $600+ range. Of curriculum, pricing is something so as to can very straightforwardly loose change popular the run-up to let loose.
These prices are quite a spot other than the current Nexus 7, but from the sound of it, Volantis determination befall packing other premium hardware. Volantis could and launch with a hardly any legitimate accessories (including a baby grand case), but we'll save so as to dialogue used for shortly.
Speaking of let loose, Volantis is projected to befall the launch device used for Android's L let loose, pegged used for an unspecified appointment popular Q4 2014. We beyond doubt are not expecting this used for Google I/O.
With rumors so as to the Nexus 6 was canceled popular light of the machine Silver code, it's valuable to befall cautious as approaching in the least in a row regarding yet to come Nexus procedure. So as to understood, a source familiar with Volantis tells us so as to the hardware already exists, and so as to the tablet is already being toted around by more or less by Google. Additionally, the originally procedure pegged used for the machine Silver code aren't projected until 2015, so it would fit in impression so as to Google is prepping a Nexus to launch machine L.
Many popular the machine population be inflicted with been yearning used for a new HTC-built Nexus used for more or less count at this moment, and this tablet's specs - if they closing stages up being dutiful to the in a row we've seen - read like a want slant. We aren't likely to hear whatever thing legitimate with reference to this tablet until this fall, but it already sounds very promising.
