Nexus 9 : NVIDIA lets the cat out of the bag in lawsuit !!

[LonestarROB]

Well HTC has an event October 8th so fingers crossed we get some information then.

Would be awesome , but everything suggests just more phones.

First I would like to apologist to the board for not clearly stating my 2012 Nexus 7 has slowly developed this weak battery that only gives me 40 minutes screen time now.

Wouldn't Google be the one that would announce the Nexus 9?

So is the Nexus 9 the 64-bit Android L launch device?

I would think so yes, but then again you never know.

Don't get me wrong I have a 2012 Nexus 7 with a Tegra 3 processor that right now won't give me more than 40 minutes a day of use which makes it almost useless

Is this something you always experienced from day one or is it just possible natural battery depletion after years of use? EDIT: I saw your updated post saying this was slowly developed.

FWIW, my Nexus 7 (2012) which I've had for over a year now still holds a great charge usually at least 2 days or more idle and I get very good usage times regardless of movie watching, web surfing or just playing some games.

I wouldn't blame this completely on the Tegra 3 chip, sure it can have some impact but you have to factor in display and other variables.

Also I use the Tegra Note which runs the Tegra 4 chip and I get as good or if not better battery life on that tablet over my N7.

Sounds like it to me. The pieces of the puzzle all fit. NVIDIA claimed that the new Denver (64 bit) version of the Tegra K1 chip was being developed and tested using Android L. NVIDIA also holds the claim to the first 64 bit chip on Android (Tegra K1 Denver). And Nexus releases always seem to be the introduction of a new OS...

That is normally the case but I think (my opinion only) the NVIDIA lawsuit leaked out details of this that under normal circumstances would of remained quiet until the proper announcement was made.

Get hyped, people
The K1 already stomped everything on the market. Wonder what the dual-Denver cores will be like

Good to know the the Tegra 4 chip wasn't the power hog that the Tegra 3 was. I was all excited about the Tegra K1 that Nvidia said was very power efficient. That power efficient all went out the window with Android Central Podcast that said it was too power hungry and runs too hot to every be in a cell phone. I think the K1 will have the best graphics on the market with it's 4x Kepler multi-GPUs cores of any processor but I want very good power efficiency over graphics since the games I play won't have major graphics (Clash of Clans).

The Shield has great battery life. And the K1 does have the best graphics processor on the market. The 64-bit version of the K1 uses the same GPU AFAIK. All they change is the CPU from a quad-core 32-bit CPU to a Dual-core 64-bit CPU.

That's true about the battery life. But if the rumors are true, 1600p screen means gaming won't be the same as the Shield Tablet. That's my biggest beef as I'm really looking for a good gaming tablet abs the nexus might not be it.... I might have to go with the shield of rumors are correct.

I'm still loving my 2013 nexus 7, but I'm always in the market for another good tablet if its a good one, especially a new nexus! I'm torn though, between the n9, the shield tablet and the Dell Venue 8 7000 which is the slimmest tablet in the world and has incredible specs. Its 8.4" w/1920 by 1200 and a good snapdragon processor I think. I forget which one... Plus kit-kat and its already been announced. To be honest though, I think I will go with the nexus if they unveil it soon... There's just something about a nexus....

If you are going for a gaming tablet, put your money on the Shield Tablet w/ wireless controllers. You won't be disappointed. Especially if you are loaded up on your personal computer w/ a GeForce GPU then you can enjoy even more that the combo offers in terms of streaming and other neat things.

Nexus 9 will no doubt be a great performing tablet but its designed as " all around " and not specifically at gaming like the Shield Tablet makes as its first priority.

Really excited for this tab. Been waiting for it for a long while now. While I do like my Nexus 7 (2013), I would like a larger screen. 8" is good, 9" would be fine as long as the bezels are somewhat slim. I'd like to be able to use the tab one-handed, but don't expect that to be possible with the screen size increase.

I just hope that it has a nice metal build, similar to HTC's phones. That would give it that extra premium feel to it. I know it probably won't happen, as it'll probably be a budget device again, but I'd love to see it.

The legal document leaked saying Q3, which ends in two weeks. Hopefully that's true and we hear something in the next week or two.

Fiscal year Q3 ends in October (edit) if they follow a retail fiscal year.

Doesn't the fiscal year (Q1) begin on October 1? I don't live in the US, but I thought the US follow a Oct-Sept financial year?

Am I mistaken?

It actually depends on the company/organization. Most retailers/some banks end it after January to account for the Christmas season. The US Federal Government starts on the day you posted.

I see...

So now I've gone from thinking we're only two weeks away from the reveal to possibly a month and a half away from the reveal.....Thanks a lot Golfdriver....

I'm pretty excited to see this tablet. My n7 2012 is starting to be long in the tooth, and I'd love to have a good excuse to replace it with something beautiful!

Don't get me wrong, I would love a nexus from HTC as I'm a big HTC fan. But I just can't do it if rumors are correct about a 1400p or 1600p screen.

I no longer have a computer (my last gaming rig I built was 7 or 8 years ago), so I'm not going to stream from my own network. Grid sounds nice, but I'm in NYC so it might not be all that.

But I'm looking for a great tablet for some movies and Android gaming. With the new nexus, I fear that it won't be the same as a Shield. Plus the Shield has a fantastic controller that I'm willing to replace my Moga with.
So yeah, I doubt that come October (when I'll have enough money to buy a tablet) I'll by the nexus (or wait some more for it). But you never know, they better announce it soon so I can buy something quick.... Been wanting a tablet since the TN7 last November, but it just wasn't worth buying like the new Shield.
