Nexus 8 Rumors Heat Up Following Big Price Cut To Nexus 7 Tablet

Nexus tablet.

Consumers looking for a solid tablet right now may want to seriously consider the Nexus 7, which has received a hefty price cut, Gotta Be Mobile reports.
While rumors about the Nexus 7's successor, the Nexus 8, are pointing to a release date later this year, a new deal on the 7 on eBay is tempting, to say the least. Consumers who head to eBay can grab $100 off the device right now, with the tablet currently available for just $130. As Gotta Be Mobile notes, this deal looks good when compared to the Nexus 7's normal $230 price tag, but even better when compared vs. Apple's 7.9-inch iPad Mini with Retina display, which costs $399.99.
Consumers should take note, however, that the deal is for a refurbished Nexus 7, meaning it will appear to be new, but actually isn't. The deal also comes with free shipping.
The Nexus 8, meanwhile, appears to be coming with high-end hardware in an aluminum unibody, CNET reports.
Trusted leaker @evleaks has revealed that the device will pack a 64-bit Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, 5GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, and either a 5MP or 8MP rear-facing camera. Meanwhile, the Nexus 8 is also now being tipped for an 8.9-inch display with 2,560x1,600 pixel resolution, instead of the 2,048x1,440 pixel resolution previously reported. As the publication notes, previous rumors also suggested the tablet would feature 2GB of RAM, and not five. Previous Nexus tablets have featured plastic designs, as well.
The rumored tablet did not get announced at Google I/O 2014, but it is believed to be set for a release date in late summer or early fall, Android Origin reports.
Reliable HTC leaker LlabToofeR recently revealed that the tablet would be announced "at a dedicated event," which the publication notes could also include Android L. With the launch of the tentatively-titled Android L being tipped for this fall, it seems likely that the Nexus 8 could debut alongside the update, like many of its Nexus predecessors have.
According to a recent CNET report, the tablet was never scheduled to be introduced at I/O, "but is still on its way to the market." The publication added that the timing of the announcement, however, is unknown.
Along with the specs, the report also claims to have uncovered pricing details for the device, suggesting a start price of $399 for the 16GB model and $499 for the 32GB. LTE connection, meanwhile, would increase the price into the "$600+ range."
