There are rumors that this time Google will be partnering with Taiwanese giant HTC for the sake of launching their new 8 inched tablet. Google authorities are of the opinion that the market for 7 inch tablet has completely saturated and so it was time to head into the 8 inch territory and check out what it has to offer.

So far, there haven’t been any big and major leaks and so it is extremely hard to comment on what one can get in Nexus 8. However, as the specifications are going to get a major facelift, it is likely that the price will shoot higher too. The major focus of Google is iPad air and with Nexus 8, they want to have a device which will give apple the forecast competition and thereby topple the numbers for Apple. Whether or not, they manage to do so remains a tale that will unfold with time.
