Hasta La Gadget!

You might have seen some photos of the alleged Nexus 10 floating about the internet recently (pictured above), but as it turns out, the image is a fake, at least according to skeptics and was also reaffirmed by none other than @evleaks himself, who wrote, “Pulled the “Nexus 10″ tweet. Was sent to multiple publications, along with slightly differing “corroborating evidence.” Signs of a hoax.” Given that @evleaks has been pretty damn reliable in the past when it comes to these leaks, we are inclined to take his word for it, although some degree of skepticism should be maintained for now.

What made the image somewhat believable is because the Nexus 10 tablet has been due for a refresh for quite a while now. After all Google had refreshed its Nexus 7 tablet, so why not its larger 10” sibling, right? We have heard rumors of a possible Cyber Monday release back in 2013 which obviously did not pan out, and we have also heard how it might be shown off at CES 2014 which obviously did not happen either, leaving us to wonder if Google will ever refresh the tablet at all. We doubt Google will be abandoning the 10” form factor especially since there are many who still prefer their tablets to be that size, so we guess MWC 2014 will be our next hope. Until then be wary of potentially fake images!

There has been a lot of speculation about the Nexus 10 2013, particularly about its release, because Google hasn’t dropped any hints about the tablet as yet. So far the company has released refreshed models of its Nexus smartphone and Nexus 7 tablet, it is yet to unveil a refreshed Nexus 10. Some believe that the tablet might be manufactured by LG, and previously a codename had emerged which was attached with the tablet. Though as per a service manual that has surfaced in China, the LG V510 might be the much rumored Nexus 8 and not the Nexus 10 as initially believed.

The service manual reveals that LG V510 has an 8.3 inch display, so this can’t obviously be the Nexus 10 if the manual is indeed legitimate. The V510 is said to have a 1,920×1,200 pixel resolution display with a 2GB RAM, 4,600mAh battery, 5 megapixel rear and 1.3 megapixel front facing camera. The dimensions of the V510 are quite similar to LG’s G Pad 8.3 tablet, so there’s a possibility that this might be regional variant of that tablet, because the leaked service manual doesn’t contain any Nexus branding. Google hasn’t even confirmed the manufacturing partner for the Nexus 10 tablet, it was rumored that the tablet might be unveiled today on Cyber Monday, but so far nothing has come out from Mountain View.

Google has already released a new Nexus tablet and smartphone this year, the Nexus 7 2013 and Nexus 5 to be precise, it is yet to release an updated Nexus 10 tablet. The company hasn’t confirmed anything as yet about this tablet, so it is not known for sure at this point in time if and when the Nexus 10 2013 is finally going to be unveiled. However, two purported images of the tablet have leaked online. There’s no way to determine their authenticity at this point in time, so its best to view these images with a pinch of salt.

It seems that the release dates for the next generation of Google Nexus 10 table (some call it the Nexus 10 2) has been confirmed, where the expected rollout date stands at November 21st at the moment. The amount of silence from Google before is because of the Play Store, as the Internet search giant wants to improve the Play Store beforehand prior to launching the Nexus 10 2. Well, what are the improvements that one is able to expect to appear on the Play Store? Google’s announcement did stress on making all of the tablet-optimized apps easier to browse on the Play Store instead of browsing every app without an indication on just which platform it is meant to run on.

It was also reported that Google has also notified Android developers concerning this matter so that they will make a segregation of their respective apps between tablets and smartphones. If the developer does not take such a step, the created apps will automatically be indicated to see action on smartphones alone. Will the Nexus 10 2 roll out alongside with the Nexus 8? Only time will tell, but we do look forward to see just how the Nexus 10 2 is going to fare in the market when it arrives.
