Google likely to announce refreshed Nexus 10 today

Google is likely to put an end to all the speculation around the newest iteration of the Nexus 10 today. All those who have been wondering which company has finally built the refreshed Nexus 10 or when it will reach markets, may not have to wait any longer. News has it that Google has planned to announce the Nexus 10 refresh, possibly being built by LG, on Cyber Monday.

However, there is no official word from Google confirming the announcement. Earlier rumours had suggested that the new Nexus 10 would be released on November 22, but that has clearly not happened. Word now is that Google did not announce the refreshed Nexus 10 in order to avoid the rush to purchase the device during Black Friday. In July, there were rumours about a Samsung-built Nexus 10 while in August it was believed that  Asus would be crafting the 10-inch Nexus tablet. Earlier this month, new leaks also hinted at that the 2013 variant of the Nexus 10 is being built by LG.
