Nexus 10 out of stock on Google Play, pointing at new model incoming

By Leave a Comment

nexus-10 Google has had regular bursts of unavailable directory when it comes to the Nexus 10, but now the Google Play page says the larger stock Android tablet is completely out of stock, pointing at the next generation model coming sometime soon.

The U.S Google Play store is showing both the 16GB and 32GB Nexus 10 out of stock and has no time when it will be back in stock. We are sure this was not some big order sweeping all the available units, but instead Google deciding it was time to stop the sales.

We have been waiting for a Nexus 10 refresh for some time, back when the Nexus 5 and Android KitKat 4.4 was unveiled, Sundar Pichai said the update was coming soon, but that was about four months ago and we still have nothing on the new tablet.

There was rumor going around saying Samsung would announce the next generation Nexus 10 at CES last week, but that never happened either. Either Google is stalling or they have simply given up on the Nexus 10, which could also be a possibility considering it was not the best selling tablet.

The problem with the Nexus 10 was the real lack of things to do – if seven-inch Android apps looked bad, then ten-inch Android apps looked awful. At the time the Nexus 10 was released, Android had serious problems on the developer side, with hardly any good tablet applications.

Android has continue to grow and we are seeing more developers start to make tablet user interfaces, instead of blow-up smartphone applications. We are also seeing new optimisation tools and more services available for tablets on Android, making the Nexus 10 more of a exciting prospect.

We still do not know the manufacturer or the release date – it could be Samsung or ASUS making the Nexus 10 and we will not know until it is finally revealed. Mobile World Congress may be the stage where it is finally announced or Google may hold their own event.

Google Nexus 10 photos leak ahead of launch

By Leave a Comment

nexus-10 The Nexus 10 has been over by its smaller brother, the Nexus 7. Almost no news has come out about the larger tablet and some believe Google has simply stopped production and development, possibly due to poor sales.

The new leaked render shows the Nexus 10 front display, it has a similar design to the Nexus 7. The Nexus 10 will apparently be made by the same manufacturer of the Nexus 7, ASUS, who have worked with Google from the start on the smaller tablet project.

It is exciting to see the ten-inch model will not be cut off the list, even though Google is not making as many sales. Reports indicate around 500,000 sales of the Nexus 10 throughout its lifespan, compared to the Nexus 7 selling around eight million units.

The new Nexus 10 will come with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 10-inch 2,560×1,600 resolution and Android KitKat 4.4. This is a big step up from the previous Nexus 10 device, but the resolution is staying the same, unsurprisingly.

The Android KitKat 4.4 feature means the Nexus 10 will most likely be launched at the same event as the Nexus 5. Google has already announced a Google Play event for tonight and it may be shown there, if not we will probably see it released in the coming weeks.

Even though the Nexus 10 had some problems, Google has been working on making more tablet optimised apps and integrating features into tablets, making them more usable for some tasks then smartphones.

The Kindle Fire, Nexus 7 and some Samsung tablets still reign supreme, but this is just the same as the smartphone world minus Google and Amazon. This is one of the reasons why Google chose ASUS to build the new Nexus 10, instead of Samsung.

Google preparing Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 event on October 15

By Leave a Comment

android-kitkat

Google is preparing an Android event on October 15, where they are set to launch Android 4.4 KitKat and the LG Nexus 5. We were a little surprised when Google did not announce a smartphone at Google I/O and even more surprised when only the Nexus 7 was on stage at the Android 4.3 launch event.

The Nexus smartphone has been leaked for months, but we are only starting to see solid information come through in the past few weeks, pointing at the release date being close. Between Googlers internally using the Nexus 5 and Google sending out test units, we can see the release date closing in on October 15.

We know quite a lot about the Nexus 5 even before the official launch. It will be manufactured by LG, the same as the Nexus 4 and will have some high-end specs, including a 1080p display, quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16/32GB of internal storage, 2400/3000mAh battery, NFC, wireless charging and LTE.

According to recent reports, Google will be making the 32GB Nexus 5 a little special, adding a 3000mAh battery into the smartphone. This is similar to how Motorola launched the Droid line, with the MAXX having two day battery life.

On the software side, Google will be adding Android 4.4 KitKat into the mix. We still don’t have a lot of information on the new update, apart from some recent screenshots showing a new Holo Light theme and lock-screen, pointing at a small redesign.

Functionality-wise, KitKat is reportedly all about conserving battery life and finally cracking fragmentation on Android, by offering an update so small and simple it can run on almost all devices.

Apart from the LG Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat, we may also see the ASUS Nexus 10 make its first appearance at the October 15 event, alongside the successor to the Nexus Q, Google’s failed TV project, this time it will come with gaming capabilities.

Android Jelly Bean 4.3 Update Confirmed for Verizon Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10

By Leave a Comment

Google may not have explicitly stated when Android 4.3 Jelly Bean will be introduced to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus though it stands confirmed the update is well in the pipeline for a future release. The Google developer page which includes the binaries of the Android 4.3 update for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is a dead giveaway of it.

Meanwhile, Google has announced the arrival of the arrival of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version and has also mentioned the devices that are to be the immediate beneficiaries if the latest Android iteration. This includes the old Nexus 7, Nexus 4, Nexus 10 as well as the previously launched flagship device, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which was released in 2011 December. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus had started out with Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 and it is really nice for the device to be provided with a fresh lease of life. However, it is the unlocked model of the Galaxy Nexus that might benefit from Android 4.3 update earlier.

However Google has made no confirmation regarding the update for the carrier versions of Google Nexus including the same for Sprint as well as Verizon. Thanks to the binaries that got listed though, one can at least conclude that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3 is going to be a reality sometime in the future. Verizon usually follows a very strict certification process for all software updates it makes available and is usually among the last to release the updates. So committing to any time frame could be a waste of time here though the months of August or September can well be used as a benchmark.

One can expect the update to come with all features of the Android version 4.3 including OpenGL and Bluetooth LE. The update is also expected to include bug fixes that has been bothering users so far while also ensure better performance, particularly for the gaming enthusiasts given the amount of effort that has gone into enhancing graphics performance of the new Android version.
