From CNET: The tech world expects Google to debut two new Nexus smartphones later on Tuesday, but the company may also unveil a tablet called the Pixel C.
Google is set to announce the 10.2-inch Android device alongside several other products and begin selling it in November, according to Android Police, citing an unnamed source. The all-metal tablet will use an Nvidia X1 quad-core processor with 3GB of RAM, and come with a choice of aluminum and leather keyboard accessories, the report said.
The tablet will run the latest version of Google's software, Android 6.0, also known as Marshmallow, which is set to debut later today.
The Pixel C would show that Google, despite selling its Motorola smartphone division to Lenovo, is still interested in retaining a foothold in mobile device manufacturing. The Mountain View, California-based company is better known for software and for services, leaving the design and manufacturing side to its Android partners. Apple has shown the advantages of tightly linking hardware and software design teams with its successful and profitable iPhone products, though, and software powerhouse Microsoft also has been dabbling with hardware designs.
