Apple’s big iPad Air 2 announcement is only eight days away and now Nowhereelse.fr points us to a new video posted by Vietnamese website Zing.vn that gives us an in-depth, high-quality look at Apple’s next major tablet release.

FROM EARLIER: iPad Air 2: Huge leak reveals everything there is to know about Apple’s next tablet

As you can see, the tablet in the video has all of the new design features we’ve seen in previous leaks: A redesigned speaker grill that has only one row of holes instead of the two rows we saw in the first-generation iPad Air, the recessed volume buttons that look like the ones on the iPhone 6 and, most importantly, the little gold ring around the Home button that indicates the device will feature Touch ID and allow for mobile payments.

Apple will be taking the wraps off the iPad Air 2 on October 16th and based on previous leaks we expect the device will feature an A8 processor like the ones found in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, 2GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera and an improved Retina display. The new iPad will also reportedly be available to buy in gold for the first time, which is something we’ve previously only seen in iPhone models.
