It hasn't even been a week since Google released its latest Nexus device, the Nexus 5, but people are already starting the hype train about what may be a new Nexus tablet. A promotional image on Google's Android promotional website shows an unnamed device that many believe could be the "Nexus 8" tablet.
Over the weekend, someone spotted a tablet that looks different from the Nexus 7 and smaller than the Nexus 10, leading a few people to believe that it might be a tablet with an 8-inch display. Google doesn't use fake products in promotional materials, so it’s natural to assume that the company must have an upcoming device that looks like the one shown in the photo above. However, there’s a much more plausible explanation: someone at Google is not very good at Photoshop.
The tablet pictured is most likely just a poorly done simulated screen, which has icons and text that appear to have been stretched vertically. Another image from the same webpage shows a rear view of what's clearly a Nexus 7 that has been edited and it also looks to have been disproportionately stretched. Google releasing another sub-10-inch tablet so soon after launching the Nexus 7 2013 doesn’t make sense, so I'm inclined to believe that this is not a new Android tablet. Looks like we'll have to wait a while longer before seeing another Nexus tablet.
