According to PCMag.com, it’s been suggested that the price for the tablet will vary. The 16GB variant will cost $399 while the 32GB variant will sell for $499. LTE connectivity will come likely as an add-on.
“With rumors that the Nexus 6 was canceled in light of the Android Silver program, it’s important to be cautious when approaching any information regarding future Nexus devices. That said, a source familiar with Volantis tells us that the hardware already exists, and that the tablet is already being toted around by some at Google,” Android Police wrote.
Over the weekend, the “Volantis” was apparently leaked again by Evleaks, which posted a photo.
A few weeks ago, there were rumors saying the Nexus 9 would be replacing the long-awaited Nexus 10 2.
