Nexus 9 tablet could show up next week

Multiple reports about Google's next-gen Nexus devices came out this week and the most recent one claims HTC Nexus 9 will launch next week. Even more, this leak reveals that the slate should cost $399 USD and is expected to hit the stores in early November.

Bright Side of News's sources confirm that HTC Nexus 9 will be announced this month. This slate will feature NVIDIA's Tegra K1 SoC and will probably ship loaded with Android L. The NVIDIA blog reveals one interesting fact - "And for hard-core Android fans, take note that we’re already developing the next version of Android – “L” – on the 64-bit Tegra K1." Considering this, it would not be a surprise to see the Denver-based 64-bit Tegra K1 and Android L powering the Nexus 9.

At last, it should be noted that HTC Nexus 9 will not be a Google Play Store exclusive and so will land at most major retailers, both offline and online. Unfortunately, none of the above has been confirmed by Google yet but we will probably know more next week.
