From CNET: Rumours have been flying for some time now that HTC is making the next Google Nexus tablet, with industry insiders tipping that it might come with an 8.9-inch screen, matching the latest offerings from Apple and Amazon. This seems to be supported by specs and photos leaked to Android Police over the weekend.
Codenamed the 'Volantis' the 8.9-inch tablet is 7.9mm thick, weighs in at 418g (or 427g for the LTE version), is constructed with an aluminium frame and, perhaps most importantly, has a giant Nexus logo on the back in the leaked photos.
The spec sheet points to a rather impressive device. There's a Tegra K1 processor packed in and the screen is 2,048x1,440 with a 281 ppi and a 4:3 aspect ratio. Forward-facing stereo speakers, an eight megapixel rear camera and 2GB of RAM round out the rest of the specifications.
Of course, it's always wise to be wary of "unnamed sources". The Verge notes that the image supplied to Android Police looks remarkably like a stretched out Nexus 5 (made by LG) and certainly the white back seems more plastic than aluminium.
