Rumor: One or two new Chrome tablets

We do not know if Google is developing one, two or maybe several new Chrome tablets. That said, the Nocturne and Atlas code names were mentioned by several sources. It can be the same device, two separate devices or completely makeup. The Unboxed Chrome article postulates that one of them could be a Surface Pro tablet with slim protections, a high resolution display and a removable keyboard. But we also saw pictures of what looks like a lower convertible tablet.

Lily: All we expect at the Google event on October 9

Rumor: One will call the Google Pixel Slate

An Android police reporter has announced that one of the new Chrome OS tablets, dubbed "Nocturne", will be called Google Pixel Slate. This seems plausible. And the journalist is credible.

Rumor: two cameras and new photo capabilities

A number of sources report that Pixel Slate will have two cameras: one facing the front and one facing the back, and the Google Camera app, which uses computer processing to produce the bokeh effect. We have heard that the next Google Pixel 3 smartphones could come with a "Top Shot" mode to capture and identify the best photo, and it's possible that this feature also finds its way onto the Slate.

Rumor: fingerprint scanner

According to the new images that leaked, the Pixel Slate could be equipped with a fingerprint authentication sensor, which would constitute a new feature for Google's Chrome OS.

Rumor: integrated Intel Core i7 processor

Chrome Unboxed, which has been tracking Google tablet rumors for months, reports that Phone Arena's blog has found specs and benchmark results for Pixel Slate. The GeekBench Android Benchmarking App Shows Multiple Results for a Variety of "Google Nocturne" Machines Running a Set of Intel Processors, Including an Eighth Generation Dual-Core Core i7-8500Y – and, in some cases, 16 GB of RAM. The tests also show that the Slate will have between 8 and 16 GB of RAM.

Rumor: the full Android experience

The same Chrome Unboxed article indicates that the GeekBench "Nocturne" instances show a Google machine running the latest version of the company's mobile operating system, Android 9 – currently available only on Pixel phones, as well as on the OnePlus 6 and the Essential phone. If Google unveils a new flagship tablet on Oct. 9, it is quite possible that it runs the most recent version of its operating system.

Rumor: Chromebook Conventional Design

Previously, Chrome Unboxed had released images of what it said was an advertisement on Facebook showing an elegant Google tablet with very thin glasses – which is what we expected from the second edition of the premium. Pixelbook. Frankly, the pictures looked a bit like stock photography – and a few weeks later, we did not see any additional images or information suggesting a high-end camera. Instead, we see more pictures of disclosed convertible tablets that look a lot like the ones we saw before in the convertible budget category-Chrome OS tablet. Of course, there could be more than one device in the pipeline.

Rumor: Round keys

Previously, Chrome Unboxed released a video showing a "Detachable Surface Type" connected to a distinctive keyboard. The illustrated keyboard section includes a few volume buttons, numeric keys, and one or two other keys, all of which look perfectly rounded. Apart from these circular keys, the design of the tablet is consistent with the new images we have seen.

Rumor: It could also work on Windows

The developer community exchanged rumors about "Campfire," a Chromebook firmware update that would allow users to safely boot Windows 10 systems, in addition to Google's Chrome operating system. XDA developers first noticed that it was mentioned in references to Google's Pixelbook, but has since found enough code variations to suggest that it would probably be supported by other manufacturers. Plus, the code changes take place pretty quickly so we can see it becoming available for the big Google announcement scheduled for October 9th.
