Google just announced the Nexus 9 tablet from HTC earlier and this could be the best Nexus tablet to date. It would be easy to think so with the specs on board too. In the past before the announcement we had heard rumors that the Google Nexus 9 would be manufactured by HTC and would come with a more premium feel to it. As we all now know officially, HTC is the OEM behind the Nexus 9. It was rumored to come with a Tegra K1 CPU from Nvidia, the best mobile chip from Nvidia so far with its 192 super-computer class graphics cores to push for optimal graphics performance. It was also suggested to be coming with a more premium build sporting a metal unibody design that we’ve come to know from HTC on more than a few of their own devices at this point, it was also recently rumored to be the first Nexus device coming with expandable storage options via the microSD card slot. Here’s the complete list of actual specs.
