In 2014, HTC It was returning to the tablet market by manufacturing an 8,9-inch device commissioned by Google. The Nexus 9 It was presented with the Motorola Nexus 6 in October of that year and yesterday afternoon came the end of its days in the Play Store. With the Mountain View Developer Event just around the corner, rumors of a new tablet have soared in the last few hours.
As a veteran owner of a Nexus 9, I have to say that, although with regard to hardware there are things that could be improved, I think that in general terms the product has met my expectations (and it still has a long way to go). However the commercial success This alliance between HTC and Google is somewhat doubtful. Shortly after its launch, we began to see aggressive offers that suggested that the demand was not what we expected.
We can still buy the Nexus 9 from some dealers
Despite the fact that the device has unexpectedly disappeared from the Play Store, Amazon still has it listed for a price of 355 euros in color Sand. However, if we think that right now The Pixel C can be purchased for 350 euros, thanks to the discount applied by Google in its developer programPerhaps it is no longer a great option to go for a terminal that is already a year and a half old.
As in the comparison, the tablet designed autonomously by Google, Pixel C, has a more powerful processor, a larger screen and double the storage capacity. In addition, its cover is completely metallic.
Google I / O: the key date to know if there will be a new Nexus tablet
It is striking that Google's move occurred one month after the Mountain View developer event. During the 2012 I / O, the first Nexus 7 and Huawei has sounded like a possible partner to reissue a team of that size. Last December we heard the first echoes. However (and it is something that we had not fallen into until today) the Chinese company also has the name of 7P registered.
Does Huawei prepare a successor to the Nexus 6P without Google?
Be that as it may, for now we are very far from being able to offer conclusive information on this subject, but we will remain vigilant since Android N is also close to going on stage and Google has never published a stable version important of your operating system without accompanying it with a Nexus tablet or smartphone.
