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.

Well it was a good theory while it lasted.. lol, Thanks for the word.. Ill look that up..
tired of waiting
Such waiting is killing me
It seems that people care less about n10 than n5 so there isn't much leaks recently.
I'd rather they fix my constantly rebooting current gen Nexus 10.

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.

How hard would it be to answer the rumors floating around the net? You know squash the rumors? A canned response like .... At this time we have no timeline and we are not working on a replacement of the nexus 10?

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.

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.
I know the Mate 20 pro re-appeared on Google’s Android Q Beta page, but I'm really not sure about what to do with the phone. It's great but the uncertainty is a bit worrying.
Is there anyone out there that has sold or is considering selling the mate20pro? If yes, which phones did you go for/are you considering?

Fair point, but it's just that if I think like that I'll have to stick to the mate20pro for another half year or so, most other "flagship" android phones have already been released for this year.. I reckon that the S10 or S10+ are the only ones that come close to the mate20pro in terms of camera versatility, battery, size, and I'd also get the headphone jack, which is nice.
Still not decided whether to sell it or not. I could sell it for max 400 EUR now...
In case I sell Mate then probably will chose between OP7 Pro and S10+. Each has pros and cons, but certainly I will miss Mate's camera. And charging speed (ok, OP is close here). And 3D face unlock..

So you'll stick to the mate20 pro for another 10 months or so? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, we might be lucky and they figure it all out in the next couple of weeks/months but it could take much longer and then the re-sell value of the mate20pro will be very low (apart from the risk of not having an updated Android version).
I have the same problem. Only phone what can change is P30 Pro but good one model, without reed, orange color problem in camera.
S10 Plus is finr but still no even close to Mate 20 Pro.
Im still on my Mate 20 Pro and I cant change it, because P30 Pro is still expensive for me. But the price is falling day by day for my Mate 20 Pro.

For me it's related to the security updates, maybe we'll stop getting them within a couple of months, we just can't be sure at this point. If that should happen (hopefully it won't!) the phone wouldn't sell for anything really, so it's sort of sell while it's still sellable.

Yep, thinking exactly the same. Sadly for me there is no proper alternative right now.
OP7 camera is dissapointing (according to feedbacks on OP forums), it has ghost touch issues (probably SW related, so fixable)..
S10+ on the other hand has desperately slow charging, camera is good but still a no match for Mate's in poor light conditions
Well, probably will sell my Mate soon and anyway take one of the above devices. As you say, it may happen that in few months this phone won't be sellable

It's great if that works for you guys.
But it's a relatively new device, I'm not really ok with not getting security updates. There's a reason those are rolled out, and it's not just to protect users from shady download sites.

You are right, it's not the first thing I look at. The truth is that I started worrying more and more about security as I got older, probably because I have way more sensitive information now than I had in my teens (banking apps and stuff, emails, whatsapp which yes, I could all remove, but that defeats the purpose of a smartphone) - it's the principle that matters.
Also, another thing is that it could well be that in some months we all have to install Ark OS, which allegedly will work with android apps but that's not what I signed up for when I spent almost $1k on this phone.
It's like buying an electric car and after one year they tell you that it's a hybrid now.
Got an iPhone XS Max 256 GB and i love it ! I still have my mate 20 pro. Maybe I will sell it but I got used to iOS so quick and it is really good. I got a used one from swappa less than 800 and it works great. I’ve been an Android fan for some years now but I think I might like the iPhone better also I live in USA and iMessage is a must here. Don’t be afraid of using other OS. Camera is great as well. No night mode or ultra wide but the standard pictures IMO are more flattering and taking pictures it’s instant. I took a bunch of pictures and colored side by side and surprisingly I like the iPhones better. Just wanted to tell you my experience

All current devices will continue to receive security updates and access to google play, Future devices may not but as it appears Google and Huawei are working together. Of course everything published is negative is that not the way it always is? Doom and gloom first then reality. I just bought a P30 Pro on device upgrade yesterday for cheap 350 in canada and my mthly plan stayed pretty much the same as it ws prior, in fact I got more data , I am in Canada. I am not too concerned, in fact if I opt for the Mate 20 I can save another 100 but damn the 10x zoom is so appealing, yet to open box
I think this is not a really big issue, even if you can't get auto update on your Huawei.
Google can't stop you install the software
such a nice phone what a pity to throw away
I'll probably get Pixel 4 or Pixel 4XL somewhere in November - December. Don't want one more Chinese phone anymore.
I've been pretty happy with my Mate 10 but feel it's time for a change. Almost got the Mi 9T Pro but then specs for the Oneplus 7T emerged and that is now the favourite. Tried the Oneplus 7 Pro earlier but hated the curved screen. Mate 30 probably out due to the google apps nonsense.
Just wondered what fellow Mate 10 users have moved to and how it worked out. Or which device(s) you have your eye on?
Personally if it's confirmed that Mate 10 will be getting Android Q then it's a must keep for another year and maybe 1 more after that. Even without that It does all I need and more. Never been happier with a phone.
I'm a bit picky about the design of my phone, I hate curved screens, notch, teardrop, cut out designs. And Mate 10 doesn't fall into any of that. I don't like the current trends I just want compromise. But that's only personal preference.
Currently I'm holding off until the Mate 40 comes out next year, and when that time comes I'll start weighting things.
Good thing U have many brands to choose from but no need to rush unless u are having serious problems with your device, where I live the only choices are huawei and Samsung so I only upgrade when it's really crucial to do so, and that's not even close right now.
I hope this helped u. Peace.
My mate 10 pro will have an afterlife in the hands of my wife. :fingers-crossed:
But it won't be a Huawei anymore. Just because there is no development around these brand and that sucks.
For now I would prefer Oneplus devices. Also Xioami isn't too bad either.
Will see what the market has to offer next year.
I am fascinated by all the new devices that come out. But also I always come to the conclusion. that the Mate 10 (Pro) is still a very good smartphone that is very capable of keeping up with the new ones. Sure the wide angle and zoom lenses are great and also the SoC are better in Benchmarks, but at the end of the day my Mate 10 Pro can do all I need.
One reason why I decided to buy a flagship smartphone in 2017 was "I want a phone that can keep up for a while". I knew I didnt need the flagship SoC performance but I bought it so it would still be fast 2 years later. Now the time begins where I think I profit of paying extra in 2017. Thatswhy I'll keep it till it breaks, hopefully many years from now. I will soon order a new battery and replace it myself (while also changing my shattered back panel). Very happy with the device and Huaweis promise "wont slow down within at least 2 years" proved to be right.
I change device because i would reduce form factor, but with best camera

Personally, I love mine and I have no reason to upgrade. If I could pick any, I would still be pretty open minded as I don't do roms so bootloader locked isn't an issue for me. As long as it is pretty equal in features to price ratio and it has all the ones I need, gladly it can be my next.
It's amazing I've had my M10P for almost two years cos it's as new and fast as the day I bought it!
I gave my Mate9 to my wife then and she stopped using her Sammy for the M9. I wanted to get her a Y9prime but she wants the M10P so I guess it's the M30P for me.
I used to have LGs (G2, G3, V10 & G5) - the last two got affected by bootloop and being out of US, I wasn't entitled to a replacement. Those days, I flashed custom ROMs bi-weekly my favourite was Cloudy.
I didn't think I could survive with a locked bootloader but here I am 3 & 1/2 years after switching to Mate 9.
I will still stick to Mate series but I wish Huawei will create their own OS probably off Sailfish which means we can still install Google services.
If Huawei want to retain market share, they should unlock bootloader in devices as it'll not only keep us but also entice new users of their devices.
Talking about changing devices, I may go for the new P30 Pro.
But if I had to move away from Huawei all together, I'll consider the K20 Pro as an alternative - for me, it's better than OP7 Pro
Edit:
I think I may go for Asus ROG phone II or Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro
I'm going through the same dilemma. I usually change phones very fast. But its been 1.5 yrs with the Mate 10 Pro and there's nothing in the market that comes close to being a great replacement for this. My only problem now is that the updates haven't come in for 2 months now (US Version) and I don't think it'll get any more. I love the camera, speaker, bluetooth strength, Wifi speeds and just how smooth and fast it is even after 1.5 yrs.
But, if there has to be a replacement, then I might go for the Pixel 4 or jump over to the iPhone 11. Waiting for their announcements to see how good they are.

Still waiting to see what the Pixel brings to the table.
The iPhone 11 Pro has a wide angle camera which is the only thing missing in the Mate 10 Pro. Pics will be good for a flagship, and videos are the best as usual. iOS is not to my taste and the max I've held an iPhone is for 4-5 months (8 plus). Since nothing major has changed in iOS 13, I'm in a dilemma.
No more Huawei's for me, because just like any other manufacturer, updates stop coming after a point or are really slow. My Mate10 Pro hasn't received an update for 2 months now. Yeah, they've been much better than Samsung or LG, but that's nothing to boast about.

I'd buy the M30P. If you were happy with Huawei than it's the best choice imo. I'd just wait for some real reviews to see if you really can get all Google services to work properly.
I won't buy mate 30 PRO, reason - notch. My next phone will have about 7 inches screen. I'm waiting for HONOR NOTE 20 but nobody can say something about release date. I wanted to buy HONOR NOTE 10, but there's a problem with B20 range and Jack 3,5mm.

Why do U need a 7 inch screen?
If I was upgrading and sticking to huawei I'd rather get the Mate 30 (non pro). The only things I don't like are that it doesn't have QHD display and no support for standard SD card. And also I think it doesn't have dual speakers but I'm not sure. I'm holding off until the Mate 40 unless my Mate 10 become unusable.
The lack of Google apps doesn't bother me at all but for the average consumer it could be an issue.
I like to watch a films at my car during my journeys Larger screens are better for this.
I'm leaning towards the Oneplus 7T. It looks like the uk will only get 128gb but Wonda Mobile think they might have the 256gb version in November.
I was hoping for faster Android 11 update, or at least a beta shortly after the 8/8 Pro, and more devs interested (not knocking the ones doing great work now). It almost feels like the Nord was pushed out, then almost forgotten. The fact the other 2 "nords" are getting just one update also doesn't give me faith for future support. I used to love 1+ but now I'm heavily loosing faith in them.
We get 2 mayor android updates and 3 years security updates. Nord is not affected by those other 2 variants of the low-end Nord`s
Android 11 is now closely tested by users in Slack. We might get A11 end of November or half-way December 2020. As I'm informed.
(ps one buddy of mine got kicked out of the test team, for no reason. So he gave me the latest news couple days ago)
Yes
Yes i am now there is a port of stock dialer for 8t .and not for nord
You also need to understand that all phone manufacturers (don't know about Xiaomi though) behave like that. You can't expect getting 3 or 4 major updates on a mid range phone model. Also getting fast updates (having compiled my own ROMs with my previous phone) is also questionable as you either push them out too soon and people complain about broken peripherals or they come (hopefully well tested but) too late, then people complain why they come so late. Anyways also here the high end phones are getting upgrades earlier as there are people spending more money on the manufacturer's phones
Take it easy, have some patience and enjoy these well performing phones until we will get a notification about Android 11, pretty sure we have more important things to worry about other than getting upgrades (too?) soon
It's nice to have "some" support but it isn't a big deal breaker how long OnePlus keeps maintaining a certain device. If you buy a device with enough XDA community support and the manufacturer stops updating, just start flashing custom roms and go ham I kept my Bacon (OnePlus One) alive for 5 years (!) ( it's running LOS17.1 atm) when I got my Avicii. Or just buy an iPhone

lol. Let me list the people torn between buying a OnePlus Nord or an iPhone...:
.
FWIW, I upgraded from OnePlus 3T, to OnePlus 5T and recently to the OnePlus Nord and loving it. Really happy with the Nord's value and price point. 5G, VoLTE, VoWiFi, Battery Life, etc.

I was hoping for faster Android 11 update, or at least a beta shortly after the 8/8 Pro, and more devs interested (not knocking the ones doing great work now). It almost feels like the Nord was pushed out, then almost forgotten. The fact the other 2 "nords" are getting just one update also doesn't give me faith for future support. I used to love 1+ but now I'm heavily loosing faith in them.

Patience is virtue mate, Just because updates are not on time doesn't mean support team is bad,
Mind you, There is a reason the updates are delayed, If updates were given this early without the alpha testers (Which are still ongoing in secret) So called "Community Members" will be screaming out saying "This isn't working" "That isn't working" , So It's better for to stay calm and wait other than being sad over updates are delayed
oh I almost forgot, even though they released the "2 nords" they won't be getting the major updates It was thoroughly mentioned in the news articles.
Oos 11 might come begin Januari 2021. We may not expect another 10.5.10 update, but straight OOS 11.
Source from insider @slack Beta Testers.
posted on Google Pixel Community just now:
"We have provided the monthly software update for March 2022. All supported Pixel devices running Android 12 will receive these software updates as part of the March 2022 update, which begins rolling out for most users today. The rollout will continue over the next week in phases depending on carrier and device. Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro devices will receive the update later this month."
And it looks like they fixed a lot of stuff too.
Bummer.
Oh boy, they're taking a piss again
I like my P6.....but.....come on Google.......
Check out the long list of fixes, including fingerprint sensor performance!

Definitely not a good look for the flagships to face repeated delays. Phone was announced nearly 5 months ago, right? Sheesh.
I'm guessing that there is something about the Tensor chip that's slowing down the software build process. Note that all the other Pixels have a build number of SP2A.220305.12, the Pixel 6 and Pro have SP2A.220305.013.A3.
Here we go again with the crying and whining.
Gas prices are what you should be crying about.
This is why l came back from OnePlus to get timely updates 🫣

Yeah all the other SOCs are Qualcomm and we essentially have an exynos. But they should have the bugs ironed out by now. I understood at first but it is getting to the point where it is unacceptable. Tensor was supposed to improve updates not hinder them.
Sorry you find that offensive l will edit my post. In my country the UK it doesn't mean the same thing

Mate is a gay slur? Since when? I always thought it was a term of friendliness among guys in other countries like Australia, GB, Ireland etc. usually spoken when at a pub. Perhaps it was from matey, a pirate saying like Ahoy Matey. But I don't know really. Either way we're once again getting screwed by the oligarch oil companies jacking up prices because then they can even pay less taxes than the minus (read subsidized) taxes they now (don't) pay. But I digress... Ok where the heck is the update for those poor folks that have no signal or very intermittent call quality? Thankfully, I'm not in that camp but there are a lot of folks who are and need this update. They already had an extra week due to the date issue and they still couldn't get the update done? I find it unacceptable and this will really hurt their brand outside of us die hards.

I am from the US. A mate is a girl friend, a wife.
Mate means screwing your partner.
So you can understand better, what do animals do when they pair up?
Sigh.......
Anyone know if the March update will bring us 12L?
Yes it is 12L if l am not mistaken

Might be, since all the other pixels are on a 4.x kernel. Only the Pixel 6 and Pro are on a 5.x kernel
"
Kernel update to 4.9.292 for Pixel 3a & Pixel 3a XL.
Kernel update to 4.14.257 for Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL & Pixel 4a.
Kernel update to 4.19.220 for Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5 & Pixel 5a (5G).
Kernel update to 5.10.66 for Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro.

Nah we'll be fine. A little OT never hurts as long as it doesn't get out of hand. I don't think this will.

Agree. I usually need to get on my computer to respond accordingly.
people should finally SHUT UP.
