Update: In fact, it will be ASUS, and not Samsung, that will make the new Nexus 10 tablet. ASUS is responsible for both the original Nexus 7 and the refreshed edition, so it’s clear the Taiwanese manufacturer has a good working relationship with Google. The refreshed Nexus 10 will reportedly be available “in time for the holiday season” through Google Play.
Sundar Pichai has reportedly given the Wall Street Journal’s Amir Efrati a couple of tidbits about the next generation Nexus 10 – the who and the when. Samsung apparently will continue to be the manufacturer of the Nexus 10. Much like how Google decided to stick with Asus through two versions of their Nexus 7, it appears the same will be true with their 10-inch tablet.
Efrati tweeted that we will see the new Nexus 10 “in the near future.” If Google decides to follow the same release strategy with their 10-inch tablet as they have with their 7-inch tablet (which had a product cycle of about a year), it would mean a release date around November.
