You can not imagine how easy it is to surrender to the rumors sometimes. Since Google Play appeared in a modified image of an alleged eight-inch device alleged leaks and rumors about a Nexus 8 have occurred one after another, although in many cases was more the result of the desire of stakeholders rather than in specific information . What snowball, we are reaching the point where the arrival of the Nexus 8 seemed safe for many people, but what has been revealed today suggests the opposite.
Besides“photoshops” varied, the only reliable data we had on this course in August Nexus was its technical name, LG V510, which meant that the device manufacturer would be nothing less than LG. The Korean company thus both another mark after the great success of the Nexus 4 and 5 , expanding its influence beyond smartphones. But in the end it turned out that it was not.
is that some official documents reveal that LG actually tablet is marked not anywhere Nexus . In fact even the color is the same, opting for white with chrome. As we see in the images, the LG logo dominates the back of the tablet, which we do not know much except that only have Wifi version. At the right price, maybe eight inches this model is able to find its place in the market, but it seems that it will be done under the umbrella of Google.
Instead, we have a tablet Google Play Edition. This is confirmed by the source code has been released LG, which is clearly the name G-Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition. It is unclear whether there will be a version with customization layer LG, but what is certain is that we are in the first tablet belonging to the Google Play Edition range. As you know, these are devices that normally have been sold with the manufacturer customization layer, but they get a second life with a pure Android system.
course, now we will doubt if it ever really was a Nexus 8 or if it was all nothing but a series of misunderstandings and too much expectation for a product that Google has never had an interest Create. Because the truth is that it would make sense that, shortly after the Nexus 7 range relaunch with new hardware from Google believed it was a good idea to launch a direct competitor to its own product.
7 and 8 inches are too close together to produce products different enough, and if we have learned anything from the experience of hardware is that Google does not like occupy every niche and have gotten have a concern that manufacturers such as LG.
addition, in the unlikely event that Google would show a sudden interest in the eight inch is unlikely to chose to LG for this. One of the objectives of the Nexus project is working with several companies while not relying on a single, with a Nexus 8 LG win too many favors by Google
. But things change if this is a Google Play Edition. These devices do not pose such an intimate union of Google with the manufacturer, and are a good choice for those who hate the added layers not contribute anything.
seems that we have finally reached the end of this saga of rumors. Just waiting to start the next.
