HTC has confirmed that it is preparing an event to take place on next August 19, Tuesday, in the American city of New York, the usual venue for high-caliber events. Officials of the Taiwanese company have revealed the date although they have refused to give any kind of clue about the device that will be presented there. Quickly the gazes have turned to the Nexus 8 But Google has not ruled on the matter, the other option is that the first smartwatch of the firm is shown there, also very rumored lately.
When few expected, HTC has anticipated that next month an event of some kind will take place in New York City. It will be on Tuesday, August 19, when company representatives take the stage to show us a new device. Which? That's where the uncertainty is. It was precisely in the Big Apple where Samsung presented its latest tablets, the Galaxy Tab SCould it be a clue? It could but it really is not known yet.
Google has not commented
If Samsung introduced its latest tablets there, it would be the perfect place for HTC, as Google's new partner, to announce the Nexus 8. HTC did not want to give more details about it, but the rumored tablet would have many ballots to be chosen, the person in charge of revealing the date of the event flatly refused to give more information. An important detail is that the events where new Nexus devices are presented are usually sponsored by Google, but those of Mountain View have not wanted to say anything: "Google does not comment on rumors or speculation", they point.
The truth is that the Nexus 8 had been nominated as a surprise candidate of the past Google I/O, but finally there was no sign of the device. It really seems that it was never within the programming of the appointment that was almost entirely dedicated to Android and its different variants. Following the fiasco, there have been rumors that it could be a late August or early September When it would see the light, the figures fit but there are many doubts.
HTC One Wear, the alternative
If it wasn't the tablet, what could it be? The HTC One Wear. The company's first smartwatch has been the center of a multitude of rumors precisely since the Google I / O celebration. The dates that have been shuffled, however, do not match, since it was said that it would arrive this year, but at the end of it.
