In the last few days a rather strange device has appeared in the GFXBench database, coded as Google Nexus Foo 10.3. Notice well that we use the word 'device' and not the word 'tablet' to refer to the equipment, and it is that it does not even have a touch screen. So we do not know what kind of experiment It is, but due to its characteristics we can handle some other hypotheses. Here it goes.
Although it arrives with enough delay In relation to the initial forecasts, if events do not turn 18 degrees, we await the launch of a tablet 8,9-inch Nexus manufactured by HTC before the end of this year 2014. The discovery that we bring you today could suggest the existence of another Google team prepared to see the light, in this case of 10,3 inches, although its technical characteristics are really puzzling.
Nexus Foo 10.3, a Frankenstein in the benchmarks
You may wonder why a Frankenstein? Well, we have sympathetically called it this way because it mixes the most disparate elements. In principle, its technical base could be normal for a rather mid-range tablet: 10,3-inch screen with 1920 × 1200 pixels, processor Integra 4 at 1,9 Hz, 2GB of RAM, etc. However, it is a team without touch screen, no gyroscope, no accelerometer, no GPS or NFC.
But the strangest thing of all is that it runs Android KKWT, which is a code used to A, while using the motor OpenGL ES 2.0, also associated with the "wearables" with the Google operating system.
What could be its purpose?
We find it very difficult for this team to fit in with any of Google's current product lines. For now, we are not able to conceive an Android Wear with such a disproportionate screen or a tablet running a system that clearly falls short of its possibilities.
We understand that it is a prototype in tests where it is optimizing the system (or checking the benefits it could offer) in a more powerful hardware, perhaps thinking about future lines of development.
For now, we are left with the intrigue. Do you have any other idea what it can mean?

Testing..
I bet if you don't have GPS it's for the house. If you don't have a gyroscope or accelerometer, it is not important that you move. If you don't have NFC, you won't be able to buy through it. If it does not have a touch screen or it has buttons or it is operated from a smartphone.
It should be an appliance that sells well, and if possible, Google will get valuable information from us. I bet on:
1. Thermostat or Air conditioning.
2. Printer.
3. Home cinema.
4. A cook or a Thermomix.
Well, I forgot that it has a screen, it can be the screen of a media center or home automation center to control different appliances in the house and also serves as a security camera screen or photo frame.
