Google to Announce Android 4.5 and Nexus 8 in July

Is this Nexus 8?
Google is known to host I/O Conference in June to announce its future plans; at least that’s how it has been for the past couple of years. For that very reason, people all around the globe bookmark the event and wait eagerly to get the first look of the gadgets that Google will unleash. However, it seems like Google may have some other plans this year for the annual I/O Conference. The reason behind saying that is the report, which claims that the search giant will not reveal the new version of the Android OS in June at I/O Conference, instead will be demonstrating some new Google services.

 What’s interesting about this report is the source of this rumor is allegedly from Google’s offices in Dublin who also happened to have also heard something about Nexus 8 tablets. The source claims that he heard his superiors talking about the Nexus 8 tablet release and will be released alongside the new version of Android. If that is to be believed, the Nexus 8 tablet and the Android 4.5 will be announced in July sometime and not in June.
Reports are that with the Nexus 8, Google will ditch the 7 inch tablet and will jump to an 8 inch version, which seems legit to me. Now this report has some contradiction to previous rumor that claimed that ASUS will be readying 2 million units of Nexus 8 tablets by April and will be ready for June release. But that was a rumor from sources in the supply chain while this one comes directly from the Google’s office. It is extremely hard which one to believe at this moment because both rumors have their own significance. Moreover, we still got plenty of time left in I/O and with such frequency of rumors, we will definitely hear some more.
