As far as the photographs that appeared online recently are concerned, it seems to have originated from China. It shows the tablet lying next to a ruler and the device measures about 200mm in length, which is the proper height for a 4:3 8-incher. The other picture shows what looks like a metal frame of the Nexus 8. It clearly shows a speaker grille as well.

But the Google Nexus 8 has already been making rounds in the webosphere for a while. Just a couple of days ago, it passed through the Geekbench 3 benchmark site and left behind quite a bit of information about its hardware and software as well.

The slate is reportedly said to come powered by an octa-core 1.3GHz CPU (probably a MediaTek SoC) and according to the Geekbench 3 listing, it was running Android 5.1.1 but it is expected to launch with Android 6.0 Marshmallow later. Obvious things in the device should be the 8 inch display as the name of the device itself suggests "Nexus 8."
