At 8.9in it's almost exactly half way between the 7.9in iPad mini and 9.7in iPad Air. More than that, it has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which deviates from the 16:9 form factor of previous Nexus tablets.

The premium tablet even comes with an 8MP rear-facing camera, with a 1.6MP selfie shooter. The Nexus 9 also comes with HTC's award winning front-facing BoomSound speakers.
