Nexus 8: Android 4.5 Lollipop and CPU 64-bit for the Google tablet

The Nexus 8, elusive 8-inch tablet that Google is expected to launch in the next few months, he returned to be talked about even today, thanks to some leaked information through the site IBTimes.

The rumors come from a Google employee ( or presumed ) that the Nexus 8 will leverage advanced technical features and , in particular, will mount a 64-bit CPU . On the software side , the new tablet will have on board the latest release of Android 4.5 - code named Lollipop - which, according to rumor emerged today , should be submitted during the Google I / O in June.

The launch of the Nexus 8 , conversely, would be scheduled for the month of July, exactly a year away from his predecessor Nexus 7 , 2013. The price of the device is expected to be around $ 350, thus departing from the figures proposed so far by Big G ​​for the tablet segment .

If such information were confirmed Google would be ready to propose a version of Android finally compatible with 64-bit processors , but unlike in the past , he plans to introduce the new software release without launching at the same time a Nexus device in the series (which it should arrive about a month later) .

We just have to wait for the I / O event in order to confirm or deny these rumors.
