2. Nexus 8 Comes This Summer and Is Made By HTC
The Nexus tablets are known for great value for their price as the latest Google’s tablet, Nexus 7 2013 can be literally named one of the 3 best Android tablets so far. According to the news, the affordable Nexus tablets are going to have another member, which is expected to be an 8-inch tablet made by HTC. If the rumors are to be held true, it means Google is not going to partner with ASUS for making its first 8-inch tablet and the Taiwanese company will be held again responsible for production after the succe ssful Nexus One.
