Rumor: Samsung will Make Google's 10-Inch Nexus Tablet

Google Nexus 7 tablet

According to the report from cnet, Google is planning to release a high-end 10.1'' Nexus tablet (Nexus 10), larger than the 7'' Nexus 7 tablet. It's rumored that the device will be made by Korean manufacturer Samsung. Google produces Nexus 7 tablet with another manufacturer Asus currently.

Google Nexus 7 tablet sells well in the US for its low price ($199 for 8G version). As a mid-end product, it's still difficult to beat iPad in the competition. The rumored Nexus 10 will be equipped with a 10.1'' display and has a resolution of 2,560*1,600 pixels, much higher than the new iPad's 2,048*1,536 pixels. The new Nexus device is able to compete with iPad in the market with high configuration. As to the price, there's no doubt that Nexus 10 would be more expensive than the $199 Nexus 7.

Different from Google, apple is currently rumored to announce a smaller and cheaper (probably $299 for 16GB) iPad Mini. If both rumors on Google and apple turn out to be true, the iPad Mini will be a tough opponent for Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire HD.
