Nexus 8 Release date and Specifications

Who is not aware of Google Nexus tablets? Google makes them affordable and with very nice specification set. According to rumors Google will release its next Nexus tablet the Nexus 8 along with Android 4.5. Android 4.5 may reportedly name as Lollipop or Lemon Meringue Pie.

Nexus 8 will most probably be available in July this year as previous Nexus tablets and it will be available in Google PlayStore initially. The name is not confirmed yet, it may be Nexus 8. Google is making a 8″ displa version this time because of less comptition in this category.

Google Nexus 8 will most probably follow the same and simple design pattern Google use to make. Google does great job in keeping the design simple for their devices. This time Stereo features can be on front side as they give a very nice sound effect there. The back will most probably be like Nexus 5.

The tablet will be made by LG this time as well. And most probably it will follow the LG G Pad 8.3 which itself is a very nice tablet but Google will make its Nexus 8 simple. It is possible that Nexus 7 2013 will be no more available after the launch of Nexus 8 because Google will prefer to focus on its new Tablet.

Nexus 8 can be a bit expansive than previous Nexus tablet. But if it keeps it price tag to $199 then we may not see the top notch hardware.
