Nexus 8 specifications Revealed

As the earlier rumors were there of Google and HTC working on a new Nexus device codenamed volantis, now several fresh details regarding its specifications have been revealed. According to @UpLeaks it will be shipping with Android L which is quite obvious since it's developer preview is already available for Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. 
The device is rumored to offer a 2560 x 1600-pixel display, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.6-megapixel front-facing shooter, NVIDIA’s Tegra K1 chip —a dream for gamers — and even a metal body. Also it is having 4GB of RAM which is double of what we saw earlier. Google may also offer an LTE-enabled version of the new Nexus tablet, according to @UpLeaks which is also quite obvious seeing the LTE version of Nexus 7. 
Google generally releases each major Android update with a new Nexus device to showcase its software, so it makes sense that HTC’s rumored tablet could fill that role for Android L. Last year Android 4.4 KitKat and the Nexus 5 were announced at the end of October, so we’re guessing that’s when the Nexus 8 will hit the market. But who are we kidding, its  Google and they could spring the new device on us at anytime with no warning at all. 
All this high end hardware may come with a hefty price tag, quotes Rhonda Alexander, director of tablet and monitor research at IHS Technology. So what do you think of a premium nexus device with an expensive price tag?
