Chromium code review reportedly shows Nexus 6 and 8

Rumours have been swirling that we’re seeing the end of the Nexus line but until that is confirmed other reports claim new Nexus devices are on its way in the coming months. Android Headlines cites Dutch website SmartDroid.de on a report that there will be a new Nexus 8 and Nexus 6. These devices reportedly showed up on a Chromium code review.

The Nexus 8 has long been reported to be an 8.9-inch tablet made by HTC. It is expected to make its debut at the upcoming Google I/O or a bit after that. Meanwhile, the Nexus 6 is a new device to make its rounds in the rumour mill. This doesn’t mean that this will be a 6-inch device from Google and its chosen manufacturer or it could be. But perhaps it will carry the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor and 3GB of RAM. We will keep you posted to confirm or debunk these rumours when we hear more.
