If rumours are to be believed, Google just might clear the mystery around the refreshed Nexus 10 tablet today - on Cyber Monday. Word was out earlier that the Nexus 10 was to be released on 22 November 22, which has not exactly materialised .
According to Tech2.com, 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 more or less confirmed that Asus would be crafting the 10-inch Nexus tablet. Earlier this month, but then new leaks said that the 2013 variant of the Nexus 10 is being built by LG.
There is no official announcement yet and the Google Play Store shows no signs of it either.
The official Google blog that announced the Nexus 5 a month back also carries no hints yet. What one can expect though is that the device will be powered by a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. S ome other specs revealed by UK retailer Tesco include Android 4.4 KitKat, a 4-megapixel front camera and a 10-megapixel rear camera. On the storage front, it will come in 16GB and 32GB variants.
Apart from the wait and watch game, what might interest Android fans is that Google is not planning on restocking Nexus 10 if it sells out.
This either suggests that Google might be done with the Nexus 10 lineup, or they are simply waiting to release its successor, in which it doesn’t make sense to restock an older product.
