Mountain View company have decided to forget the tablets with seven-inch screen, for now go on to consider eight inches as the standard size small. This also leads already working on the new Nexus 8, a tablet would be manufactured by Asus, like the previous Nexus 7.
One of the reasons that have led Google to sideline seven-inch tablets are the results of its latest Nexus 7, which has been the only tablet that the company launched last year 2013. In fact, it was the first device announced at an event which also went on Chromecast light. It was expected that an alleged Nexus 10 later came to market, but eventually did not take place, and it seems that re-invest in the small format before the large format, with the Nexus 8.
manufacturer choose to return to Asus, who has previously made two Google Nexus 7 has sold. The brand has a good reputation in manufacturing tablets, and is considered one of the best on the market, so no wonder the Mountain View have chosen to re-elect them to make this tablet, if you finally confirmed that they will take care of production.
Meanwhile, Asus would manufacture two million units of this tablet for launch, to be held in late April. Consider that what motivated the choice of eight-inch screen are the sales of three million units of the Nexus 7 Ultimate, indicating that Google still expects to sell fewer units of the Nexus 8 perhaps because now the competition is greater, and many users prefer to buy a phablet. It is also possible that this is only the units that will be ready for launch, may eventually produce more if necessary.
Its price really is a mystery. A Nexuxs 8 for a price of 230 euros would be a real deal, and would give a dramatic effect to the market, which is becoming more getting cheaper over time.
