Google Nexus 8 Leaked [Images]

Arriving just after the Kindle Fire, which made waves as one of the first to offer a smaller and considerably cheaper alternative to the iPad, the original Nexus 7 must be considered iconic. Sure, the build quality wasn’t quite up to scratch, but this was largely addressed with last year’s refresh, and with the Nexus 8, we’re expecting even more bang for our buck.

MyDrivers does have a good track record in the past regarding legitimate leaks, so we’re somewhat confident that this may well be the finished article, but of course, we’ll reserve judgment until we see other snaps or leaks to corroborate this notion.

As far as the tech specs go, we’re set to get a quad-core Qualcomm processor with 64-bit architecture, a healthy 3GB of RAM and the as-yet unannounced Android 4.5. With Android 4.4.3 having just been rolled out to Nexus models and Google Play Edition handsets, we anticipate that the changes will be a tad more noticeable with the next major update, although we’ll have to wait until I/0 for a definitive list of new features.
