Thoughts? I know most of you guys are current-gen Nexus 10 owners, but this is good or bad news? Maybe we'll see an aluminum tablet like the Transformers instead of normal Samsung plastic?

If they've fixed the I/O issues, maybe. But on the whole, my reaction was actually rather along the lines of "please no." Samsung's build quality on Google devices has been very solid in my opinion, they make excellent NAND and screen tech, and they're a bit saner about speaker placement.
Perhaps most importantly though, I actually hate metal builds on tablets. Mainly because anyone who's owned a flat-back metal tablet (such as an iPad for me, and brief experiences with the "premium" Transformers) knows what an awful grating sound these things can make when you set them down on some surfaces. The rubberized back might be many things to different people, but it's definitely not noisy.

This actually makes a lot of sense. Samsung recently just came out with the Tab 3 10.1, which based on a dollar-per-performance metric, is inferior to their old Nexus 10 in every way. It wouldn't make sense for them to release yet another tablet with even better performance for the same price.
I actually like the rubbery/grippy back of the N10. It may not look as pretty as aluminum, but it's easier to hold.
Also, since the new Transformer Pad Infinity has the Tegra 4, my guess is the new N10 will come with the Tegra 4. It's either that or the SD 800. In any case, the new N10 will be a beast, and I can't wait to get one.
If it's true it will probably be based on the new Asus Transformer that is due out anytime. So the new Nexus 10 maybe tegra 4 based.

Based on the recent Qualcomm/AOSP debacle going on right now, I think it's more likely to be the Tegra.
Update: Former Wall Street Journal reporter Amir Efrati has retracted his statement that Samsung is making the new Nexus 10.
Well I'm glad I got my (belated) N10 and didn't wait.
Asus QC is extremely poor. Two N7's I got last year had screen lift. Asus gimped the memory speed in last year's Transformers and many people are furious about that.
The two Samsung products I have owned have been perfect build wise - Nexus S and the N10 I just got. Can't fault them.

Hey guys, current N7 (2012) owner here. I'm excited to see what Asus will bring to the table. Here are some thoughts/concerns as someone who is wanting to purchase a 2nd gen N10:
-The screen on the current N10 is amazing. I hope Asus at least matches it.
-Speaker placement. The front-facing speakers are a fantastic design decision. I hope Asus maintains this design aesthetic.
-I am hoping for an LTE model. Both gen N7's from Asus have LTE, and I hope this means it is coming to the N10. Missing LTE is the biggest thing (other than a 2nd gen on the horizon) that is keeping me from an N10 right now.
-I'm not concerned about build issues. The current N10 seems to have a few issues of its own. I have had zero problems with my N7, so I know Asus can put out a nice product.
-Upgraded chipset is a no-brainer, but will we see more ram? I sort of hope so...
-Price point; I hope they lower the wifi-only models a bit and price the LTE's where the current wifi models are. Asus knows how to keep build costs down, so I am hoping this is feasible
So that is kind of my thoughts on the 2nd Gen N10. I've got my fingers crossed on this bad boy. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

Have to strongly agree. My wife has the Transformer Prime and it requires a custom rom and hacks such as requiring a high class external sd card to handle i/o operations to bypass the abysmal internal storage. With Nexus devices not having access to external sd I would steer well clear of the new Nexus until sufficient feedback tells you otherwise.
This screen shot is supposedly "proof" that Asus is building the next N10.
This is what comes back from the UPC that's posted.
Asus could end up making the next N10 but not by "winning out" over Samsung. Based on the rather marginal sales and low margin of the N10 #1 Samsung may have decided to pass. Asus is incredibly good at making a lot (features) for a little (price). But as others have already said the components used, like low-cost NAND, are how they make the numbers work. After following the Prime and Infinity it would take a lot of change in Asus' approach for me to even consider one of their devices.
Really hoping that it is not built by Asus. I may end up buying a nexus 10 now instead of waiting later for the new one. There is something about asus I don't like .

Having owned a tf101 and a tf201, I really hope that ASUS doesn't get into the Nexus line. The tf 201 in particular is garbage, unless, as stated before, you use a custom rom ...and even then, to get decent performance, you need to hack it to use a high speed SD card to get what should have been its IO speed to begin with. Couple that with the myriad of issues that came about due to poor quality control, such as light bleed, LCD mura, dead pixels, and their horrible RMA policies (like making you pay to ship a defective device to them for repairs...several times in some cases) and an ASUS tab is a no-go for me, no matter what the specs are.

If its ever a tegra on the new N10 then im off, not buying that crap. Owning a N7 2012 edition right now and its a disappointment ... Bad screen, horrible speakers and that tegra chip heating up so bad... Thinking of buying a current gen N10 and trading in my N7. Worth? Opinions please I mean i read reviews and such but actual user opinion would be awesome Will surely install CM on it though
That's what I'm also thinking about doing. The nexus 7 used to be great, but the chip aged horribly. It isn't as smooth or fast as it used to be .

I'm also interested in some user opinions here.. too late to sway me though as mine is already being shipped. Probably get the new one too when it comes out although I just had my first Asus tablet in the new Nexus 7 but had to return due to touchscreen issues twice.

Am I the only one here who likes Asus?
I've had both the N7 and the N7v2. I also have an Asus laptop. If I had the money I'd splurge on the Asus AIO Desktop (that runs both Windows 8 and Android). All of my motherboards have been Asus.
For all the people complaining about Asus's N7 build quality, there's an equal percentage of people complaining about Samsung's N10 build quality, I assure you.
In any case, when the new N10 comes out, I'll be one of the first in line to buy it. It's either coming packed with the Tegra 4 or the SD 800.

I want to get a 10 inch tablet, but I don't want to wait for the rumored Nexus 10. I don't need a whole lot of space or power, but I do want something reliable.
I only ever buy Nexus phones, so I want something with that reliability. Not like the time I tried an HTC phone and it was an unreliable piece of sh*t with terrible build quality.

I don't think you,ll really find what you're looking for apart from a rumored nexus 10. The closest thing may be the asus infinity, but that still isn't stock android. Many rumors are pointing to something: phone, tablet, or both at the end of October. So it may be worth waiting one more month...
The answer relies heavily on how much money you want to spend.
I got a 2nd hand Galaxy Tab 10.1 which you can pick up for around £270 (wifi only), and it's been nothing but awesome. The only times I've had issues have been when I've put custom ROMs on there that aren't 100% complete (mostly Jelly Bean ROMs). The stock Honeycomb ROM that was on it when I got it was awesome.
It's solid, good quality, but still quite light. I'd really recommend you just go to a local supplier and get your hands on a few and play with them. There's a world of difference between a 7" and 10" experience, so don't be swayed by the "available now" feature of some smaller ones. As much as the Nexus 7 looks awesome, I like my girth

I really like this tablet (all but the light bleed and the lack of a good charger, with the latter being not really a big deal) and am still planning on getting one as soon as they're back in stock next year IF the light bleed is fixed in the next batch. But, after seeing the news yesterday.about the Motorola/Google Flagship X devices (Phone and subsequent tablet), I'm really tempted to wait for that tablet seeing as it will also be a Nexus device and have Motorola's awesome build quality (After my first Nokia brick phone way back in the day, every device I owned after was Motorola, and I love their build quality.) I know for sure I'll get the phone since my 2 year will probably be up on my Nexus by that time, but I may also wait for that tablet.
Anyone else who's been waiting to buy the N10 feeling the desire to wait it out a bit longer?
I do, but not because of the x tablet, I am not a big fan of Motorola so. But I think I will wait until CES 2013 and see if there's anything worth waiting for, if not I'm not even sure about Nexus 10 anymore, Samsung's Note 10.1 seems like a better choice somehow.

I'm not completely unimpressed with Samsung's build quality, and I love my Galaxy Nexus, but I just like Motorola's better.

I understand, I've used Motorola several years ago before the smartphone era and they were some really good phones, but there's no other brand I would prefer but Samsung when it comes to phones, and I'm leaning that way for the tablets as well.
And totally, I'm actually looking forward to see Samsung's new announcement which it's most likely going to be a reveal for S 4, but still I'll wait to see if it isn't a new tablet that could be worth waiting for. And that Samsung Note 10.1 is really tempting me lol.

Who knows when it will actually be released, much less if the rumor is true. I'm sure good things will come from Motorola eventually but probably not for another year. If Motorola comes out with a mind bogglingly good tablet then I'll sell the Nexus 10 and grab it...I'm not going to hold my breath though.
Honestly, I can put up with the Nexus 10 not being perfect because its a Nexus device and I can build the OS from source, I know it will be supported for a good while, and its damned fast for browsing.
I've had 4 different tablets in the last year or so...none of them were perfect.

The challenge in waiting for "_________" is that by the time it hits the market there's already been a leak about the better "__________" that may be on the horizon (which we know moves). Asus announced the TF700 in January 2012 and it wasn't available for purchase until July. Samsung announced the Note 10.1 in February 2012, redesigned it after it was shown, and it launched in August. The N10 cleared the FCC in August and just recently was made available for purchase. Moral of the story: buy what you like now, take good care of it so you can resell it for a decent price, and buy what's "new" when it's at least up for pre-order. When leaks come out about products in development with nothing but design direction there's usually a long wait until they actually hit the market (EG: whatever Motorola's theorizing). When you start to see component leaks and shots by Mr. Blurry Cam that means it's closer but can still mean months.
I might depending what its like but im not a fan of Motorola so i doubt it will be something attractive.
From what I've read, the X devices are not part of the Nexus brand, they're 100% Motorola. Don't expect stock Android and direct updates from Google- or, well, now that Moto is part of Google, I mean direct updates from the Android team.
Nope... because every article States the thing silk probably not be out for a year or two. Wonder if x though is like nexus. The x is the prominent letter and even the bout animation logo. I've been waiting for Google to do something with Motorola for awhile. Google could rectify their horrible business plan easy. Now that Samsung is owning the market with android products and has made Asus a tablet leader outside Apple, I think it is now safe for them to throw their own subsidiary a bone and make a nice Google Motorola device. Might be to late on the end though.

This. Ask any owner of an Atrix (myself), Photon or Electrify. They'll tell you just how great #motofail is in terms of software updates. You get ONE. Better hope your device ships with the latest version of the OS, because otherwise you just get bumped to the next major revision instead of anything near what is considered current and suddenly you're screwed, even if they promise you otherwise. The lack of proper kernel source means custom roms are unlikely to completely save you as well.
Still planning on getting my N10 in early January. If a more reputable company like Samsung were to announce something like the rumored X, I'd wait. But @#$%^ no for Motofail.

Anyone who tries to stay on the bleeding edge of a rapidly moving technology will be in this situation perpetually. Something better is always on the horizon. At some point you have to pull the trigger, even though something better has been announced, and may or may not be right around the corner. I tend to be an early adopter of generational improvements (A15 and super high res screen in the N10). There will be better devices in this category, but by the time you wait for the "perfect" device, the next generational improvement will be right around the corner. Until you accept this reality, you'll always have buyers remorse.
I wouldn't touch motorola with a 10 foot pole after the crappy end of life support debacle like the atrix 4g. This might be an exception since google will back it up. Never again Motorola!!!!
Per WSJ, X tablet will be after X phone, so it'll be a while.
The more interesting bit was that Viewdle (face-rec) should be incorporated, so we should see some aspect of AR in 5.0 release. Niche uses aside, AR hasn't had any wide application in an OS. AR would be Glass' main ace.
Though, I think 5.0's over-arching theme will be TV integration. Apple is making noises, and MS will intro X720. Goog can't afford to fall behind. Miracast should play a large part, not only to leverage TVs as big displays, but for tabs to act as 2nd screen.
Frankly, tablet hardware bores me now. It's MOTS. What's interesting are wearables, and Glass is supposed to make its debut in 2013. You can bet that both MS and Apple are burning the midnight oil on their own skunkwork response.
Depending on how versatile wearables (eye-top?) will be, the tablet may hit the skids as quickly as it got on. I'm thinking 2013 for the coming-out, and one or two years for the first retail product.
I personally will wait for a Nexus device with Miracast. I really hope the N10 will get Miracast after all...
It's either the Nexus 10 for me or a Quad core A15 / Nvidia tegra 4 tablet. Hope they get announced at CES/MWC
I don't do enough gaming to need a beefed-up graphics chip in the SoC in my tablet, so for me the Nexus 10 works fine. I'm a graduate student, so much of what I do is just reading PDFs, books, and magazines. I listen to music and watch YouTube, neither of which will be necessarily improved with a faster SoC. The screen on my Nexus 10 is brilliant and I couldn't be happier with what this tablet does for my needs. Plus, Samsung > Motorola. I know I may be in the minority here, but this thing is a Nexus, and it's made by Samsung, two things that I look for in a device.
NEXUS 11*
- 11” Super PLS TFT
- 8 Megapixel
- 2 Megapixel
- Octa-Core A15 / A7 (Exynos 5410)
- Micro SD 64 GB (Rumoured)
* Needs to get approvement from Google (Worlds first Octa-Core tablet)

what you all thinking about this?
Edit: this would be the Nexus 11 without the Google brand, and this one's definitely likely to have microSD support.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 11
- 11” Super PLS TFT
- 8 Megapixel
- 2 Megapixel
- Dual-Core A15 (Exynos 5250)
- Micro SD 64 GB
Want. Especially with a MicroSD
If it is real and has the sd card support I'll upgrade in a heartbeat... Otherwise I'm happy with what I have for a long time
Aww I just bought my nexus 10 2 weeks ago I was hoping it'd be "new" for at least a year lol but I probably wouldn't upgrade since I just got mine also I'd rather have Google team up with another company. It seems that samsungs support for the tablet is very poor.

I doubt it would get approved with a microSD slot. The Nexus line of things are known for not having those these days. I also hope it gets the T658 GPU, or even better a 2nd gen Midgard core. I doubt ill buy an upgrade to this tablet till it has at least those specs to make it worthwhile. The T658 has twice as many shader cores as we do, and twice as many arithmetic pipelines per shader core.
is it gonna be the same resolution as the Nexus 10? please colour calibrate the screen this time Samsung!
Even if it doesn't get released as a Nexus device, it wouldn't stop Samsung from releasing it as their own device.

Like the guy above me said, hit and miss. Some turn out to be true some not, but even if Google were not to approve this tablet, it will come out as Samsung tablet just without the octacore maybe, but it's definitely coming.
I'm so glad I held back from getting the 10, I actually made three attempts to buy one of Google and each time it didn't go through. I'm in Ireland and was using a proxy!
I would like, as someone said, another company to do the next Nexus tablet. HTC would be my first choice then Asus but that probably won't happen.
Anyone think it will be released at Google I/O? I really want a tablet, can't wait much longer!

Not a chance in the world this will be released at Google IO in a couple weeks.
There has already been talks of the Nexus Nexus 7, so we will see Google confirming final specs and a release date for that. We will probably also see details or a launch of the next Android version as normally happens during Google IO, we will hopefully get details on the next Nexus phone, and we will probably also hear more on Google Glass and probably Google Fiber.

If they are then I will be on the N10 for a while. I really hope Samsung DOESNT get the next Nexus. Their hardware is decent (not great) but they completely ignored this device just like they did the previous Nexus phones.
No dock, no cable using the pogo pins, the cover is overpriced and doesn't do much of anything, useless magnets, etc. It looks like so much could have been supported but Samsung didn't care.
LG showed how it should be done, they got the charger out, MHL, the bumper/case and even the logoless headphones (yeah I know that isnt huge but its more than Samsung has done). And the phone, I had the Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 4 made that phone look and feel like a turd immediately. Considerably better design and a far more rigid chassis.
Not happening. ^^ Nexus devices are rather a solid proof of concept for Android than some experimental whatever. If this 11" thing appears, I think it will be released by Samsung (without Google Nexus label).
I'm kind of hoping that another company picks up the next Nexus 10 other than Samsung as well. I believe ASUS has done a great job with the Nexus 7 and the Transformer series, HTC could knock it out with front facing BoomSound type speakers on a tablet, or even HP which seems to be falling in love with Android, which shoukd have been the case two years ago. Plus new generation of processors are right around the corner that could make for a great device (Tegra 4, Snapdragon 800, Exynos-55something). Having just sold my Transformer Infinity, I'm excited to see what the next generation of devices will be.
Why us this news? Is it such a shock that the Samsung OctoFaux is getting used in a tablet? Is it such a shocker that Samsung is incorporating an SD card slot with dual cameras?
It gets old hearing the same old stuff rehashed or companies 'innovating' while really just using the newest components at a given time. Shock me Samsung, build an aluminum tablet, build a tablet that feels stronger then a thin piece of plastic which pops and creeks when I hold it or gives in the middle (note 10.1 and gtab2)..... that would be news

same here, it truly is the best tablet out there but I just couldn't go for it after all the trouble people were having not even about the tablet but the service. And it won't be released, it could be revealed there, and if it is I would not expect it to be out until at least November.

The wireless charging dock for the Nexus 4 was only released ~6 months AFTER the release of the Nexus 4. That is not 'how it should be done'.
"How it should be done" is that there is a wide range of peripherals available day 1.
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).
Okay okay okay, price aside, is there an android tablet that really beats the nexus 9? Spec for spec?
My iPad 2g needed desperate upgrading. I love my nexus 5. Did I make the wrong choice going to the nexus 9? I really wanted the 64bit, thinking it would be the next best thing. I don't mind spending the extra for the iPad costs, but I've been wanting the freedom android delivers.
Is the build quality that bad... It's got to be better than all plastic, ah la Samsung. I guess the higher price should suggest quality. I just wish the reviews were not overwhelmingly poor.
I really like it so far. And there is something refreshing about using android on a big screen.
On the other hand I want to have a good tablet. Should I just root a different tablet and place asop on it. One with all the specs that proves to be better or as good as the iPad.
I'm having a great experience so far, everything is working as expected and I have none of the issues reported by others. Performance rocks though it does take a while to charge.
There is a thread on satisfied owners. My experience on "who knows what to believe" is, believe everything. People aren't making up problems. Some tablets (N9) don't have them. I'm waiting for at least two more production runs before purchasing. Although it's a PITA to do so, I will return/exchange until I get one that satisfies me. I'm hoping battery charge/discharge issues will be sorted out with software. This will be my sixth Nexus device. I've only had to exchange one: N7 flo, but its touch screen issue has caused me to monitor the N9 experience before I buy. I had to send back my first Samsung Tab Pro 12.2 (for my son) for a dead pixel. Replacement was perfect.
It's hard to wait, but I'll be happier in the long run. I have my N7 FLO which I will keep. It's just so portable.

I am a previous iPad 3 owner and I traded in it for a Nexus 9. Overall I am not regret on doing that. Only one thing, apps and quality of apps for Android tablets admittedly worse than the iOS ones.
Thanks!

Nice to know someone else jumped the itrain! That's the little reassurance i needed. I'm digging my decision more and more. I agree and wish more for the app verse, too.
