2014 is the year of the mega devices. We already have many powerful devices in the market and many others are in waiting line and they will hit the markets soon before the end of this plenteous year. Google Nexus 9 is the device which is already afloat in the rumors and news because the handset will be revealed soon. Google is making the device in collaboration with HTC. This Taiwanese manufacture is well known in the field of smartphone making and has a reputation in the field of tablet making to some extent. HTC first launched its tablet in 2011. However the tablet could not capture the markets successfully after that company is now trying again to place their steps in the tablet market. Hopefully this time they may succeed because they have a powerful partner like Google with them and they effort of the both shall not go waste. Maybe they get a foot hold on firm grounds in the market.
Nexus devices have respectable place in the market and have been popular among the users. This encourages the company to take a further step and launch Nexus 9 with next and the latest version of Android operating system. Despite this development the price is expected to be within affordable limits for both developers and consumers. Hopefully it will have a beautiful combination of powerful hardware and beauty and aesthetic appeal in its shape and appearance and would be durable.
Has HTC taken the example from Asus whose devices have proved successful and HTC taking the example of second generation of Nexus 7 is encouraged to produce Nexus 9. It seems so and all the indicators show that HTC in cooperation with Google is preparing for a big jump. The test is the best example of quality and once Nexus 9 comes in the market we can see how it performs.
Presently we are not sure what beauties Nexus 9 is hiding in its design but we can only draw our deductions from the rumors and the news on the media. It is said the tablet would carry a weight of 418 grams (14.745 Oz) and only 7.8mm thick. In physical dimensions it measures 8.91 x 5.98 x 0.31 inches (226 x 151 x 7.9mm). By these measurements it seems bulkier as compare to the current trend slim tablets like 8-inch Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact's 8.40 x 4.87 x 0.25 inches (213.4 x 123.6 x 6.4 mm) and weight of 9.52 oz (270 g). However, they are in line with the 9.7-inch iPad Air's 9.45 x 6.67 x 0.30 inches (240 x 169.5 x 7.5 mm) at a weight of 16.86 oz (478 g).
The device has aluminum body which gives the premium look to the device. The metal is first time used in making the device body before this the devices comes with plastic body and one of the most interesting and new feature is the device has a dual front facing stereo speakers.

The screen of the tablet delivers 340ppi accurate density to the display which is considered well enough for this screen size. Company still put their finger on their lips about the details of the screen technology but we expect that the device is featured with IPS LCD display because the HTC and Google both are well known in using of IPS LCD display on their products. The reason behind using the IPS LCD is best known by the companies but the one reason is the IPS LCD delivers the same good results as Samsung Super AMOLED display delivers and users are quite happy and satisfy using the IPS LCD displays.

It is anticipated that HTC will take the boost and make the powerful appearance in the markets because of its powerful partner as Google.
