But all good things must come to an end, and the Nexus 5 is already yesterday's tech. Ever since smartphones like the HTC One (M8), Samsung Galaxy S5 and LG G3 arrived, we turned our fickle eyes towards the Nexus 6.
HTC is widely expected to launch a high-end Nexus 9 tablet in partnership with Google in the coming weeks, and a new report from The Wall Street Journal all but confirms the deal.
Google chose HTC to create their very first Nexus device, and haven't worked with them on a Nexus device since. HTC created the HTC Flyer in 2011, and haven't.
HTC hasn't made or released a tablet for a number of years but that will change very soon as the company is gearing up to reveal the Google Nexus 9, the first.
