Although Google has yet to confirm these reports, several rumors and speculations all over the internet are already anticipating the release of the device. A recent Twitter post from the popular tech tipster Evan Blass has sparked a rumor that the device is coming out.

"Google's Huawei-built 7-inch tablet, with 4 GB RAM, on track for release before the end of the year," Blass wrote on his Twitter page.

Meanwhile, Google is already rumored to have tapped HTC to help them manufacture new Nexus devices. The two smartphones are said to be called Google Pixel and Pixel XL. There are speculations suggesting that Google will no longer carry the Nexus branding on its flagship smartphone. However, the company did not confirm the rumors.

According to Vine Report, although HTC is speculated to develop the next Google smartphones, rumor has it that Huawei will handle the development of the next Nexus 7 tablet. The publication also said that Huawei will most likely manufacture the successor of Nexus 5X and 6P, which were both developed by HTC.

In a report by Yibada, the 7-inch tablet will carry an AMOLED Quad HD display with an Adreno 530 GPU. The device will run on a Snapdragon 820 processor from Qualcomm paired with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB internal storage capacity.

As of the moment, fans will have to wait for the company to officially launch the device. Until then, all rumors and speculations must be taken with a grain of salt.
