8.9-inch HTC Volantis rumored to arrive with 5GB of RAM

Just few days back, we spotted HTC 8.9 inch Volantis aka Flounder rumored to be an Nexus 8 tablet! Now the tablet has once again appeared with some new details being revealed.

According to @evleaks, the earlier rumors of specs for the HTC Volantis were fake. The HTC volantis is now believed to come with a whopping never before 5GB of RAM, however this has not been finalized yet. Other features for the device are bit obvious that the device would host a 8.9inch screen with 2560×1900 pixel resolution and HTCs BoomSound speakers. The device is likely to host a 8MP primary camera and a 5MP secondary camera. The device is likely to come with a silver aluminum body and a 64-bit Nvidia Tegra K1 processor with 64GB of storage space.

The leakster has released an “HTC Volantis macro shot” showing the codename of Flounder with a mention for the “Android Silver OS Alpha 1.4.” This means that this could be the first gadget to be included in the Android Silver program from Google.

The HTC 8.9 Volantis could make an official appearance in the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year.
