With Google hinting that it will not be stopping its Nexus production, new reports surface that the company plans on releasing the Google Nexus 8 this April. The company also plans on releasing another version of the Google Nexus 10. However, there are no confirmations whether the tech giant will be producing another Nexus 7 this year. Despite its success, it appears Google wants to focus on its Nexus 8 and Nexus 10 offerings. What can people expect?

According to a report by Tom's Hardware an unnamed Taiwan-based supply chain maker's document surfaced claiming that Google has been working on an 8-inch tablet. The release date will be around April according to the report. Google will be shipping around two million units initially.

The report also emphasized that the Nexus 8 will serve as the third-generation Nexus slate for Google. This means the 7-inch model may not make an appearance this year. The upcoming model will be released following the second generation Nexus 7 released last July 2013. The first generation Nexus 7 came out in June 2012.

The shift to 8 inches is reportedly fashioned from the Nexus 7 2. According to reports, despite the positive reviews and improved hardware, Google was not satisfied on how the slate performed in the market. Likewise, the report also said that the overall sales of the Nexus 7 2 were lower than 3 million units when 2013 ended.

I don't get the allure of a android tablet without some type of exclusive tablet like features that make it more practical and useful.. like the note series. If its just plain vanilla android I see no reason to cop a android tablet

As much as I hate iphone os on tablets I'd be much more inclined to cop a apple tab and jailbreak it for the apps and ecosystem alone or a windows 8 pro tablet. Sure the nexus tabs are cheap but they are so bare in tablet features ans tablet apps that they seem pointless if you have a newer android phone..especially phones that have huge screens..the note series tabs just make more sense to me *shrugs*.

I'm waiting for the next nexus with a amazing camera or the next phone that has one alone with modern guts...my next phone has to have a great camera I learned my lesson...so disappointed in nexus cameras in general thats my only gripe...my nexus 4 still performs like a champ otherwise...then I'm copping a windows 8 pro tab...fukk android tabs lol
