After the 2012 release of the acclaimed Nexus 7 tablet, Google and ASUS came through with an improved, more powerful and refreshed model last year in the form of the Nexus 7 (2013), and this time around, we’re expecting the search giant to upgrade its famed line-up once more. With the I/O developers conference almost upon us, the Nexus 8 slate will probably (still skeptical) be showcased as Google’s main hardware announcement, and now, we have what appears to be a legitimate leak of the device in photos.

Google’s Nexus 7 tablet made waves when released last year, and the refreshed model dropped back in the summer brought a whole host of improvements. Naturally, there has been some speculation regarding its eventual successor, and for the first time, we may have caught a good glimpse of the Nexus 8. With an altogether more stylish aesthetic, the unidentified slate seen in a snap released by a Google promoter could well be next in line as the search giant’s flagship.
