I just found some interesting articles this morning. Apparently Google is rumored to be testing out a new hybrid OS (Android and Chrome mixed), on Nexus 9s called Andromeda... Then I found some articles about a rumored Pixel 3 coming out in mid-2017 which is supposed to be an "ultra-thin" laptop with a 12.3" display running Andromeda. It would have an Intel M3 or i5 processor, 32 or 128 GB of storage and 8 or 16 GB of RAM depending on the configuration you opt for... Then I came across this rumor which is what most piqued my interest and is the main subject of this post: that the long rumored Huawei built 7" tablet will indeed be a Nexus, and that it will be the debut device to run Andromeda-

As I'm sure you are all aware, the Huawei 7" Tablet has been leaked a few times already this year. Huawei trademarked the name "Huawei 7p" early this summer I believe it was, and then @EVLeaks reported that the Huawei made 7" tablet was planned for later this year. Then there where rumors on the specs of this device: 7" QHD Display, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, 13 MP camera, etc...
So, now 9to5Google is reporting that this tablet will be running Andromeda and will likely be Nexus branded according to their sources. Android Police has some interesting ideas about what might be taken from this news:
Google may launch Andromeda OS on rumored 7-inch Huawei 'Nexus' tablet
including that the Nexus tablet might be a "developer focused device" along with some other ideas.
But what do you all think about these rumors? Likely? Unlikely? Are you excited for Andromeda? The Pixel 3? The Huawei Nexus 7 2016? All of the above; or none... Would you like to see a consumer version of the Nexus tablet or a developer version? Any other thoughts on the matter?
Personally I'm rooting for a consumer version of the Nexus 7 for this year with all the rumored specs plus Andromeda!
