Fresh spell of rumors are stating that HTC will build the Nexus 8 tablet not the Asus. We already have many rumors this year regarding the Google’s Nexus program and leaks about the particular devices.
As according to the report from DiGiTimes “upstream supply chain” sources are revealing that Nexus 8 will be built by HTC and it could be a 8.9 inch tablet. In actual if we conclude old reports that it seems that Google wanted HTC to make Nexus 7 but company was busy making smartphones at that time. So again Google approached the HTC for the Nexus 8 and it seems that company has accepted the offer.
Also, Asustek has also not been so ambitious about the third generation of Nexus tablet after manufacturing two generations. So Search giant hired new manufacturer for its Nexus tablet.
Further we can say Nexus 8 might come out in the same month as that of the Nexus 7 2013 tablet last year.
