An unknown device by the name of ‘Google Rammus’ has appeared in a GeekBench listing. First spotted by tipster Roland Quandt, the mystery device is seen running on Android 7.1 Nougat with 4GB RAM and is powered by an Intel Core m3-8100Y processor.

Given that Android 7.1 Nougat and Intel Core m3-8100Y processor are quite old, it’s being said that the device could be an older variant of the Pixel Slate tablet. Another theory suggests the tablet could be a low-cost version of the Pixel Slate tablet which could be announced soon.

Although the Geekbench listing suggests the tablet is running on Android 7.1 Nougat, in reality, the Pixel Slate is powered by Google’s Chrome OS. At the moment, we do know have much information about the tablet, code-named “Google Rammus”. We expect more details to surface in the coming days.
