So I've never owned a large tablet before, I had a nexus 7 for a few months but I sold it to pay bills. I have a galaxy s3 and between that my old nexus I know I'm definitely android fan all the way. To get the point I'm thinking of buying a nexus 10 but I'm hearing about a new version coming out late February early March and there is also talks of medium sized galaxy note 8 and a slightly smaller tablet sounds awesome, so my question is should I wait for the new nexus 10? Go buy the current one from walmart, get another nexus 7 or wait for the note 8?
Aloooottt of spelling and grammatical errors I know..
The only new version I could see coming out in the near future would be a gsm sim card version. For those people who want an lte version, not going to happen in a long long time, just get over it.

You are the 3rd person I've come across referencing similar articles and I will say the same as others - its seems highly unlikely they will have that kind of upgrade anytime soon.

More powerful? Which one? First of all, why would they if they just released this processor on this device, first tablet with it anyways. Tegra 4 or the octa are not available and they have never revised a nexus device, they are not going to re-release the same tablet with any hardware upgrade, they will only do firmware updates, new hardware will come on the next nexus device. This is an awesome device, they just got to fix some things on the display/gamma department and thermal throttling.

Rumor or not...only time will tell...take a look here. I would hate to see it happen but if memory serves me right the Nexus 7 8GB got discontinued with the 16GB getting sold for the same price. Apples and oranges but could happen. Thumb down if it does.

A bit different , because for storage all they need to do is use a larger sd card inside the same device, CPU/GPU would require a lot more changes to the hardware, and would have a lot of customers pissed like myself that waited a long time for a tablet, and to see them do this and I got mine this Christmas, would not sit well with me and a lot of people, but hey that's just my opinion, really hope they wouldn't screw customers like that, and after I dropped a lot of money to buy a nexus 7 for the wife and a 10 for me, if they go and do that these would make the last Google/nexus devices I'll ever get.

Droid-Life posted a story about this rumored Nexus 10 2. Their thought (and it's all spevulation) is that they might announce it/show it off at MWC next month, officially announce it at I/O and release it in the fall. I wouldn't wait.
All the people reporting it are just regurgitating the original websites story and adding their own twist on it to make it sound like they've got the inside scoop. Fact: None of them know any more than the original story (if that's even true). It's typical bad circle jerking journalism. #1 reason I try to avoid almost all the Android `insider' (I'm looking at you Android Police) websites. It's hard to though when they all publish 9,245 stories a day to garner unwarranted page clicks.
Consider this before buying. No flame intented. I simply was planning to get one myself then changed my mind.

I'm not particularly worried; I actually posted some thoughts about Google I/O earlier today:
http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/10/4209366/a-prediction-for-google-i-o
I'm quite happy with Android 4.1, so I guess it depends what KLP brings, but it's hard to imagine Google bringing anything that would make me want to abandon HTC's awesome camera software (which is one of the reasons I personally prefer HTC phones).
I bought a One XL last year around the same time, and Google I/O didn't make me regret that decision. Besides, this time I'll have a One XL I can mess around with if I want to install CM11 or something.

Precisely. Personally, I feel HTC is on the brink of a huge change, they've already dropped the source code and the phone hasn't even shipped in US yet! Also, it will definitely help to have the same device across several carriers (Even international ones!)
I feel the winds of change wafting from HTC and I must say, I love it.

I am definitely super-excited that the international and NA versions of the HTC One use the same chipset - that was one of the big issues with the One X and One XL last year.
This phone will get key lime pie without a doubt.
The development will be huge for this device

Not to be the voice of doom or piss in anyone's Cheerios but HTC's in a world of hurt. The shipping delay for the One's cost them dearly financially and now its actual availability is going to bump up against Samsung's gazillion dollar marketing budget for the SGS4. Samsung also co-ops heavily with the U.S. carriers for advertising and provides big sales incentives down to the associate level. And if you walk in to a Best Buy you'll be greeted by Samsung's "Experience" sound and light show while a dummy One sits lonely and tethered to an end-cap somewhere next to a "free" LG Phone. With a Nexus 5 possible at I/O, an iP5s and lower-cost iPhone in June, Motorola's "Phone X," a Note III, and LG's 1080P 5" and 5.5" Optimus Pro Plus' all due by fall, the One's going to get lost in a sea of other devices a few months after launch because of HTC's (now even more) limited promotional budget. They have a tough road to hoe and 2013 will determine their future.

I believe they will, considering this is HTC's flagship phone.
This is an easy one for me. I'll just keep my Nexus 4 around until I/O. If what Google shows at I/O wows me and I can get it on the Nexus 4, I'll consider selling the One, but DAMN, it would have to be some mind blowing software for me to give up such amazing hardware and go back to a slower processor, worse screen, worse camera, worse speaker, cheaper materials, and no LTE.

It will be. It is 5.0
Got me thinking...
Whole argument is stupid in my opinion. It's clearly cut black and white. If you want immediate updates to current version of android go for a nexus. If you want real hardware get the HTC One. Unless HTC builds a nexus the new one won't be special.
I don't know why people buy carrier subsidized phones then complain when it stays a version behind. The phone company is there to make money. Put on your big boy pants and go nexus or shut up about it. It's really that simple

Let me tell you the story to how I found it:
I always check for upcoming products by searching on our internal system just incase anything comes up. I remember being one of the first guys to get the Nexus 7 (1st gen) price and availability to Android sites. Remember persistence works! Anyways, decided to type in Nexus 10 on the system in yhe morning today and guess what popped up!? Well yes for the first time Nexus 10 came up. And at first I thought it was last years model but I thought to my self why are we showing it now? Though UK retailers never stocked it and then after a few minutes it hit me! IT DOESN'T SAY SAMSUNG looooool. It's Asus, so it has to be the new one! Haha. Plus the UK price is on the tweet for those who want to know
Don't think any of the Big sites picked it up yet.

This makes me happy, just means I won't be upgrading from my first gen N10. Never had any luck with Asus tablets. The first gen N7 was a hit, but this current gen is plagued with problems. My friend is on her third tablet because of the same touch screen problems. I won't even talk about the transformer lineup.

Yes. My friend at work let me use her brand new nexus 7 FHD yesterday and it was bad. Things sometimes required multiple touches to respond.
Its just like the I/O issues in the transformer series was claimed to be software when it was clearly hardware.

Agreed. Asus may make great motherboards and notebooks but they have the worst tablets. I got burned twice; I bought the tf700 last year and the screen was great but the user experience was horrible because of the slow I/O, it was lagging doing the basic things like opening the app drawer, flashing the cromix rom helped but you can't get around such cheap bad hardware with tweaks. Then I went ahead and got N7 2013 because I thought Asus learned from their mistakes and the partnership with Google would mean better quality control, but my N7 has the multi touch issues. I don't understand how Asus can screw up a touch screen on a tablet.
So I'm disappointed Google decided to choose Asus and I'll wait until it's certain Asus got the Nexus 10 right and didn't like, accidentally manufacture some units without speakers or other units with varying sizes or got the touch screen malfunctioning again... you never know with Asus.

If this is actually true (and not some kind of error in your inventory system), I'll need to make sure I stock up on popcorn. The Internet will absolutely blow up with stories of "OMG! This is the first time in 3 years that Samsung hasn't had a current-generation Nexus device!!!! Google and Samsung are becoming estranged and their relationship is on the outs!!!!! OMG, Samsung's going to go 100% Tizen and ditch Android forever!!!!!"
Of course, this is absolutely ridiculous, but it'll serve as good fodder for the Internet Android blogs for a day or two. After all, we all know Android blogs generally won't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
You heard it here first.

Our inventory will never show a product that is not real by the way. So this is 100% true
I'm definitely going to pick this one up, now that i know Google are going to stock it officially in stores as well unlike last years one. So this will mean they will be advertising it and putting some real marketing power behind it. I'm hoping Android KitKat brings some features which improves the core apps. As one of the reason why Samsung Note 10.1 has been very popular is because they added on to stock android and made it a fully featured tablet OS.
Will never get a Samsung (non nexus) tablet as Touchwiz is so sluggish. So seriously looking forward to Nexus 10 2013/14 edition as this'll be my first proper 10 inch tablet

So all kinds of checks and balances exist to keep from accidental entry of a product and not list the wrong vendor or product number?
I've seen it at a number of different stores and locations, even when they have product in stock and ready to sell.
Cool that your inventory system is that accurate and this far in advance.. Must have special phone line to Google HQS?

Because it works 100% on yours, everyone else that has the problem must be a liar!!
In all seriousness though, I'm glad it's working for you.
My spouses N7 2013 is having the same problems. I've done a factory wipe, etc, and the touch screen is still poor results. Back to the store for exchange, as the problem looks to be both software and hardware. Hardware isn't an issue for all (just like the screen lift wasn't for all with the N7 first edition) and so it's fixed for most with the software patch.
Glad my N10 has been so solid. But yea, I'm not upgrading at this time.
Still works as it did when I purchased it.
This guarantees that I will not purchase the next Nexus 10. No Asus tablet for me. The Transformer Prime soured me for life...

You'll see two models to replace the 16GB Nexus 10.
1. 64GB Samsung N10.
2. 64GB model with unlocked LTE.
Just like the 32GB and 3G/HSPA+ models of the Nexus 7 had when the 8GB model was discontinued.
My speculation is just that.
But I believe it to be more probable based on Sundar Pichai's tweet earlier this year.
so, rumors about N10 2013 come alive again:

Yeah we were certain beyond all doubt, but now that date has come and egg is on our faces we've come back with an even more certain date!
The Future!!! (Should have said that instead of November )
I'll tell you what, I believe ASUS is making a 10" tab and the specs are spot on, but I doubt it's for the Google Play Store.
I suspect if another set of N10's are released, it'll be a small revision bump to the existing hardware with 64GB storage with and without LTE.
I love my N10, but sales of this tab were no where near the number of the N7 first edition.
So tell me if this is plausible..?
• Google leaked the Nexus 5 @ the Play Store on Oct. 18th then released the device on Oct. 31st thats 14 days from leak to launch.
• Google "SUPPOSEDLY" leaked the Nexus 10 2nd Gen @ the Play Store on Oct. 28th if you count 14 days from the leak that would be a launch date of Nov. 10th....
It makes sense in Googleese.. What do you guys think..?
Nov. 10, 2013...?
The Nexus 10 leak has already been proven to be a fake. Look up the original PhoneArena article.

I sold mine because of that a while ago..
I just don't understand what is so hard about posting a "tenative release timeline" or if there will ever be another pure google nexus 10" tablet. I originally purchased my first ever android device "SGS3" due to apple being so secretive about the 4s release date and tired of waiting for the next best thing. Well I feel Nexus google is doing the same thing now...so I went back to the dark side for a tablet and purchased the Ipad air 124g version. To keep things in balance on Oct 31 I ordered a Nexus 5 to replace my NoteII !
To sum it up I think google nexus would be well served as to not being so secretive about release dates.....but it is a fine line between the secretiveness and building something up and keep backing up release dates and /or release just a few with very limited supply(AKA some graphic cards for years past).
The rebooting issue happens because of chrome, just don't use chrome and you'll be golden (and frankly mobile chrome is really ****ty, it sucks in every possible way on both iOS and Android)
I doubt they'll release the next N10 any time soon, I'm starting to see the event with the 2014 N7 as a likely date for both tablets.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but hate beating the dead horse. Some don't like to hear the truth and love to argue.:good:
My point was that they love the rumors spreading around their products, it keeps them in the news. This discussion is a great example. They'll plant the rumours if no one else does. They want people to talk and speculate about their tablet and not the newest tablet from someone else.
Why should they announce the actual release date ahead of time? If it's far away, people who need a tablet soon will buy someone else's tablet. Doesn't Apple do the same thing? I'm sure their marketing dept know exactly what they're doing.

The hype and the anxious of waiting for a new product is what makes the google product sell so well

So it might not even exist? I'm getting so tired of waiting I think I should've bought the Nexus 10 a couple of months ago. And as much as I hate Samsung, the note 10.1 2014 does look nice. PLEASE Google, don't mame me buy a Sammy. Release the Nexus 10 2 NOW!

With all the discounted Nexus 10's out there now, I hope something worthwhile is coming! I feel like I got burned buying my GNex last August, a month and a half before the Nexus 4 came out, I am forcing myself to not fall into the same trap again!
I don't think we'll get another nexus 10 until at least middle of next year. Maybe released when we get the next major android update (version 5).
The nexus 10 was quite an investment for buyers. I for one don't plan on shelling out for one for at least another year. If you keep churning out an expensive luxury item at short intervals (big tablets are not massively essential purchases for most people), then you are reducing your potential for repeat sales, whilst pissing some people off who have bought the previous model a bit later before realising a new one was being released so soon.
Only people who have money to burn are going to shell out for a new big tablet every year unless there's a major issue with their current one. And nowadays there are fewer and fewer of those people about due to the financial crisis and job markets.
It's much easier to justify with a cheap product like the nexus 7 for a greater number of people. I essentially bought my nexus 10 to replace my laptop in most functions. I still keep my laptop for updating/rooting my devices and for the very few things that i can't do on my tab but my laptop is 4 years old now and is hardly used. I have a NAS drive that has all my media stored on that can be accessed directly from my nexus/phone and whatever else. For me, this is a keeper for at least another year.

Take advantage if you can find a really cheap one to tide you over! If you buy a used one you won't take much of a hit when the next one does eventually arrive and you re-sell.

And now google is disabling the translucent menu bars in 4.4 on the current generation Nexus 10 because the current Nexus 10 can't render them properly. What the.!? All the more reason for the Gen 2 to be leaked/announced/released now. I wouldn't buy the current version..

I totally agree. I am desperate for there to be a Nexus 10 2nd generation. I'm using a first generation Nexus 7 & it is fab BUT at 16GBs it is way to low in storage (yes I DO need each & every one of those apps & games installed) & I'm desperate for a bigger screen.
What do people think the chances of them giving us a 64GB version N10 2 at release? Assuming of course that they even give us a Nexus 10 2 Generation.
So I'm kind of amazed there isn't a thread on this rumor yet. What better way to reenter the tablet market than with a nexus! For me, personally, this is a dream come true. I think that HTC uses the best displays of any manufacture currently and I would love to see one in a tablet. Maybe a 2k slcd4?

I am so going to get it if HTC makes the next gen n10... Boom sound front facing speakers with that aluminum metal body would be just awesome... Smart move by Google to compete with them ipads

Considering the price of Nexus devices, I don't think HTC, if it makes the next gen Nexus 10, will use aluminum metal body. Samsung already did a good job in terms of build quality of the current Nexus 10.
Hope next gen Nexus 10 can be as light as the iPad Air.

I would take all these rumours with a pinch of salt and then add another sack of the stuff.Wasn't that long ago we were hearing various release date rumours and now we are hearing rumours of a new manufacturer.Basically Google haven't even found a supplier yet let alone a delivery date! Personally I don't think there will be a replacement hence why I bought the old nexus 10 after waiting and waiting and waiting and eventually giving up on RUMOURS of a new device coming soon.I do hope to be prooved wrong though.
I posted a comment about a future Nexus 10 when the current one ran out of stock in US. It was sometime ago, but I'd like to share how the next Nexus 10 should be for me .
(when asked what would the next Nexus 10 should have) For now I will keep my Nexus 10, it's still a beast device as I stated and I like to keep my high end devices for at least 2 years. But there are some things that could be upgraded ^^.
First - More storage. I bought the 32GB and I still think it's not enough. Probably a 64 or 128GB version would be amazing, as it's a media consumption device it requires storage, as not everyone can use cloud services, and a full HD movie is quite big.
Second - Add LTE option like they did with Nexus 7.
Third - Use Snapdragon 805 or Tegra K1 processor, they are true beasts, and tablets need to push more pixels, so a better graphics processor is important.
Fourth - If going with the Tegra K1, it would be an interesting (actually it's more of a dream of mine here, very hard for this to happen now) to have a 4K screen, current Nexus screen is already killer, a 4K would be a mass destruction device lol. While it's still a dream the 4K screen on it, they could make it LED at least, so the complaints of light bleeding would reduce drastically.
Fifth - Samsung, Asus, Sony or Motorola create it. Samsung sucks with software, but the software here would be Google, so it's no problem. Asus proved to be a great tablet developer with the last Nexus 7s. Sony has the most beautiful devices ever, and adding water resistance to a Nexus would be very cool. And Motorola developed Xoom, which is a great device and the godfather of Android tablets, would be great to see them developing a new one. (As rumors seems to be, this one won't be any true lol, but I have expectations that HTC can do a good job too).
Sixth - More RAM would be appreciated ^^'.
Seventh - More accessories at a better price would be of great use too.
And I think it's only that I can imagine for the next Nexus. There aren't main flaws on the current one now. Almost all the problems went away with the KitKat upgrade, and I'm happy with it .

I expect there will be a new Nexus 10 because it is out of inventory and has been for about a month.
If they were not restocking it or replacing it with a new one then why is it even listed on the play store site and why does it say check back soon?
When they no longer make or offer something it is removed from the site.
So it seems obvious that something will replace it.
IMO, the rumors of who will build it have no basis.
The sites who post thees articles get paid by the advertisers.
To get paid they need to draw people to the site.
They write one thing one day and something totally different the next, sometimes contradicting themselves.
Personally I heard Sony will build it at Dell and label it as a Samsung tablet and sell it in an HTC box and it will run Android 7.3 (nestle crunch).
