New Android ad campaign hints at upcoming Nexus devices
The inexorable announcement of the next round of Nexus devices and Android L is drawing ever nearer, as Google has released a slew of new ads promoting Android.
This video above shows an animated version of the rumored Nexus 6. It seems to look like a Moto X (2014) and is obviously quite large. Google is seemingly saying that it doesn’t matter if it’s large, hence “be together. not the same.”
It’s hard to notice, but it’s possible that this video shows the Nexus 9, held by one of the people on the left.
This video doesn’t show any devices explicitly, but it’s the third ad in this series.
The trend in the past few years has been for Google to announce the next Nexus and version of Android in October, so we can say pretty firmly that an announcement is imminent. Whether it’s October 15 (tomorrow) or later in the month can’t be for sure, though rumors seem to be pointing to the former.
We also have a gallery of the Nexus 6 here, and earlier this morning we reported on another render from the supposedly retired (though I’m not complaining) @evleaks here.
Are you excited for this eminent announcement? I definitely am!

Forbes: Nexus 6, Nexus 9, and Android L due October 15
October should just be dubbed “Nexus month”, as even if Google doesn’t announce a new Nexus at the beginning of the month, the internet blows up with rumors, reports, leaks, and other news about them anyways, and once they do announce it, the rest of the month (or next few months) is spent looking at and analyzing any and everything Google announced.
Anyways, Forbes has reported that “a source close to Google” has confirmed that the Nexus 6, Nexus 9, and Android L will be announced tomorrow via a blog post. The writer said originally Google was going to make an event out of it, eventually opting for a web announcement because they’re still fine tuning Android L.
The Nexus 9 will be available for pre-order on October 17th, and available to purchase on November 3rd, they say this is subject to change. The 16 GB variant will cost $399, while a 32 GB LTE version will cost $499, and apparently they will have expandable memory, which I’m sure will be praised by Android enthusiasts.
He also confirms specs: 8.9-inch 2048×1440 display, 480 grams, a 64-bit dual-core processor, an Nvidia Kepler GPU and a 8MP rear-facing camera and 3MP front-facing camera. It will have a “brushed-aluminum” frame rather than an all metal design. It will also have HTC’s boomsound and front-facing speakers.
There will also be an “origami” case, which apparently can be folded however you’d like in order to stand up or prop up the device.
We reported on this date and various specs a few times before.
Earlier today we’ve had a few reports about the Nexus 6 as well, here and a report about the newest android campaign here.
I’m starting to be convinced that this is happening. At this point if there isn’t an announcement tomorrow, I’ll be disappointed… So, while we feel confident about all this, take it all with a grain of salt.
Are you ready for the next round of Nexus devices and Android?

Second source claims Google to launch Nexus 9 running Android L on October 15th
An unnamed source described as “close” to Google indicates the company plans to officially announce the Nexus 9 tablet and a new Nexus smartphone on Wednesday, October 15th. The source says Google will make the announcement via a blog post instead of doing it via a big, splashy event. The source indicates the reason for the lack of a “big reveal” was to give programmers more time to iron out some final tweaks in Android L. It is worth noting though that Apple has an event scheduled for Thursday when it is thought updates to their tablet lineup will be revealed, so Google may be trying to get a jump on the press and make sure consumers have something to compare any new iPad devices against.
The new Nexus 9 tablet, built by HTC, will be available for pre-orders starting on the 17th of October with a projected delivery date of November 3rd. At least two versions are expected, a 16GB WiFi-only version that will retail for $399 and a 32GB LTE version selling for $499. According to the source, the new tablet will have an 8.9-inch display running at 2048 x 1440 resolution, it will have a 64-bit dual-core processor, an NVIDIA Kepler graphics chip, and will feature HTC’s dual front-facing boom sound speakers similar to the HTC One (M8).
The October 15th announcement date, if it occurs, is pretty close to the projected date reported last month and coincides with leaked information that surfaced a few days ago.

Google releases animated ads showing off the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9
If you happened to watch last night’s Walking Dead episode online, you might have noticed a few new ads from Google. Yup, they quietly released these because they like having fun with us.
There are three 30 second ads in all with the first one revealing the Nexus 6 with Android L navigation buttons and a new ringtone, while the second one shows the Nexus 9. You will also notice the “Be Together, Not The Same” theme here implying that the Nexus 6 is very big and might not be for everyone. The third ad continues this theme, but doesn’t reveal any of the devices.
These ads (see below) were uploaded to YouTube by Android Authority, but if you saw them live, they were clickable. They took you to a page that isn’t live at the moment.
We could very well see one or both of these devices officially announced tomorrow. Are you guys excited yet?

What’s in the box: Could this be the Nexus 9 that Jeff Gordon just tweeted about?
While Google is being typically quiet around the time of its device and software releases, HTC can’t seem to stop talking about so-called confidential information. After HTC President of North Asia, Jack Tong, “accidentally” confirmed that the Nexus 9 was HTC’s springboard back into the tablet market, Jeff Gordon, HTC Global Online Communications Manager, has been seen tweeting about a cardboard box. And what exactly is inside this cardboard box? Well, Gordon says of the box “Something amazing, beautiful and highly confidential just arrived.”

Now, unless HTC forgot to announce something at its Double Exposure event earlier this week, we’re pretty certain that inside that box will be a new Nexus 9. We won’t have long to see what it likely looks like as all bets are on October 15th being the day that Google announces the new tablet, one day ahead of the rumoured announcement of Apple’s new iPads. Devious, no? Priced at an alleged $399 USD, the Nexus 9 isn’t going to be the cheapest Nexus tablet ever, but it will be packing some intense hardware such as NVIDIA’s Tegra K1 processor, 3GB RAM and an almost 9-inch Quad HD display.

Nexus 9 due October 15, report says
As we get closer to the time Google announces Android L, more and more rumors and reports come out about the upcoming Nexus devices, or the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9. Earlier this morning we reported about an article from WSJ confirming rumors of the Nexus 6. A couple of days ago, an HTC rep confirmed that the Nexus 9 exists and is coming. Now, we seem to have some details about a possible announcement and launch date for the Nexus 9 (and presumably the Nexus 6 and Android L as well).
Bright side of news on Thursday reported that their sources confirm that the Nexus 9 will be announced this month, available for pre-order on October 15th, and then available (and most likely shipped) on November 3. They also confirm (as previously thought) that it will be using a NVIDIA Tegra K1 SoC. However, it isn’t clear if they will use the regular chip seen in other devices, or if it will be a new 64-bit version.
They also confirm that it will cost $399, which they say makes it a more premium device since the Nexus 7 is cheaper at $229. However, if you recall the Nexus 10 released starting at $399, and was considered cheap for its size and features. Considering a Nexus 9 would be closer to that, it makes sense to me. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.
The other interesting part of the report is it claims that the Nexus 9 will not be exclusive to the Play Store, but will be sold to many other retailers. This indeed would be an interesting move on Google’s part, and would mean they are more serious about selling devices this time around.
Stay tuned for more updates about the Nexus devices.
What do you think about a $399 price tag on a 9″ tablet? Too much for a Nexus device, or just about right?

HTC Nexus 9 to cost $399 USD, announced Oct 15th, released Nov 3rd
October is turning into Christmas for Android lovers. Among the various releases rumoured to be happening this month, the HTC Nexus 9 is the most concrete of these after HTC themselves confirmed that the Nexus 9 tablet is their commitment to return to the tablet market. The announcement date for the device has been suggested as either October 15th or 16th, however the former has gotten another vote of confidence thanks to today’s information. According to a source speaking with Bright Side of News, the Nexus 9 is going to be announced by Google on October 15th, where preorders for the device will start, and the full release of the device will happen on November 3rd. That’s a bit under three weeks you’ll be waiting from the announcement. This information vaguely fits in with a previous rumour we heard that the Nexus devices would be announced in mid October, followed by the full release of Android L at the start of November.
Another bit of information that this latest report has divulged is an alleged price for the Nexus 9, putting it at $399 USD. This of course is a bit expensive considering the pricing of the Nexus 7, but given that the Nexus 9 contains some of the best technology available at the moment, that price isn’t surprising, although we’re not sure which model this might be. What’s also interesting is that this report suggests that the Nexus 9 won’t only be available from the Google Play Store come November 3rd – major retailers are said to also be stocking the device as well for sale. This means you should be able to get your hands on the Nexus 9 pretty easily even if the preorders run out.

HTC all but officially announces Nexus 9
The Nexus 9 has been in the rumor mill for months now, nevertheless we’ve been able to gather that it’s coming, from a leaked photo, to a FCC filing, and a NVIDIA legal document leak. Today however, we have some news that all but officially confirms the arrival of the Nexus 9.
Jeff Tong, HTC’s President of North Asia, announced today at a press briefing in New York that the Nexus 9 is HTC’s “commitment” to returning to the tablet market. It’s been three years since HTC has produced a tablet, so it will be interesting to see them reemerge into this space in the mobile market.
Tong made no mention of a release date or specs, however we’ve reported rumors of an October 16 release date. That could possibly mean the release of Android L too, so stay tuned for more updates as we hear them.
Excited for the Nexus 9?

Nexus 9 tablet is HTC’s “commitment” to return to market, says HTC president of North Asia Jack Tong
HTC has had a rough going for the last few years. Struggling to really hit it big. Most of their focus is on phones with devices like the HTC One line and the more recently released Desire refresh line. The company has said that their smartwatch wearable plans have been shelved for this year, so that is out. So what about tablets? The last set of tablets I can remember from HTC was the Flyer and the Jetstream. Neither of which were particularly amazing. The most recent news about a Nexus tablet though has been aimed at a Nexus 9 tablet that would be made my HTC. While nothing is 100% confirmed, HTC President of North Asia, Jack Tong, let loose a simple statement during a press briefing this morning.
Mr. Tong told the press that the Nexus 9 tablet represents “HTC’s commitment” to return to the tablet market. Focus Taiwan goes on to report that the Nexus 9 is set to be unveiled on October 16th and is expected to be announced along side Android L and the Nexus 6. This was all during a briefing that took place this morning in New York. HTC does have a “Double Exposure” event planned for later this evening where we know they will be announcing the ReCamera, the portable camera accessory.
The leaked specs for the Nexus 9 included a NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB and 32GB options, 8MP camera, Quad HD display with 2560×1600 resolution and dual front-facing BoomSound speakers. A more recent leaked image of the rear of the tablet also offers up a more matte appearing finish vs the previously thought aluminum. I could only image what a 9-inch tablet made with a an aluminum body design would have cost. I am assuming the tablet will launch with Android L and also be 64bit.

HTC tweets teaser for October 8 event
We might not have to wait to see HTC’s GoPro competitor as the company have just tweeted a teaser for an event on October 8th.
Quite possibly focused on the Desire Eye, HTC tweeted out the following:
Don’t adjust your screen. Just focus on the date. #HTCLive http://t.co/vQJrWCrjKG
— HTC (@htc) October 6, 2014
Of course, it could also be the Nexus 9, but I wouldn’t want to speculate…
