Google Nexus 9
The 8.9-inch Google Nexus 9 seems like the perfect fit for a tablet that's not as small as the upcoming 7.9-inch iPad mini 3 and not as large as the 9.7-inch iPad Air 2.
Release and Price Tag
Google and HTC are adding another inch to the smallest Nexus
tablet starting on November 3. That's the official release date.
Pre-orders launch Friday, October 17.
The price is also bigger, as expected. Nexus 9 will cost $399 for the 16GB version, which likely means it'll likely be worth of £250 and AU$455.
If 16GB isn't enough space and you're bummed Nexus 9 doesn't include a micro SD card slot, the 32GB version costs $479 (likely north of £300, AU$550). An LTE version is also planned.
Design
It's not entirely clear what the Nexus 9 will look like. On the one hand we've heard that Google wants a new design for its new slate, which is apparently part of the reason why it's teamed up with HTC rather than Asus. But on the other it's been reported that the Nexus 9 is similar to the Nexus 7.
So we're not sure what to make of it yet. But HTC is the company behind the tablet, so there's a good chance that it will have a premium design.
Display
Google Nexus 9 features what's really a 8.9-inch screen when you measure
it diagonally and IPS LCD display technology lights things up underneath
Gorilla Glass 3.
A 2048 x 1536 resolution gives it a dense 287ppi count and a less-wide 4:3 aspect ratio.
Specification
Beneath that nearly-9-inch LCD display is the first Nexus 64-bit processor courtesy of Nvidia and its Tegra K1 system on a chip.
The Nexus 9's tablet-focused processor runs at 2.3GHz and is coupled with a Kepler DX1 graphics chip and 2GB of RAM.
The camera specs include a 8-megapixel rear snapper that bests the Nexus 7's 5-megapixel camera. A similar incremental update on the front gives it a 1.6MP camera, up from 1.2MP.
No changes is the internal memory configurations have been made. It'll be 16GB and 32GB, the same as last year's ASUS-made Nexus tablets.
The battery size, naturally, is dramatically increased to 6700 mAh, up from 3,950 mAh. It should provide at least 9.5 hours of battery life, according to Google.
