If information circulating the Internet is to be believed, then
Samsung will make the next generation Nexus 10 tablet and the device will launch in October 2013. In the past, every time
Google has shown off a new
Nexus device, the device runs on a new version of the
Android OS. It seems like the new Nexus 10 will run on the much-anticipated Android 5.0
Key Lime Pie.
It makes sense that the new Nexus 10 will run on Android 5.0 since
this October Android celebrates its fifth birthday. Android 5.0 Key Lime
Pie has been a part of the rumour mills for quite some time now.
October is also the rumoured time frame for the launch of the next
generation Nexus smartphone, the
Nexus 5.
Sundar Pichai president of Android and Chrome has confirmed the
existence of the new Nexus 10 device and the fact that it will be made
by Samsung.
With every new Nexus device, Google has unveiled a new version of the
Android OS. The Galaxy Nexus showed off Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
back in 2011. The first generation Nexus 7 was launched at Google I/O
2012 and brought with it Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Towards the end of
2012, we saw the launch of the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 HSPA+ that brought
with it Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. In November 2012 the Nexus 10 was
launched and Ran on Android 4.2. Last we saw the launch of the second
generation Nexus 7 that brought with it Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
The first generation
Nexus 10 runs on a 1.7GHz dual-core
Samsung Exynos
5250 CPU. It has a quad-core Mali T604 GPU coupled with 2GB RAM. The
