We first heard that Google was working on a tablet

called the Nexus 10 this past summer and now it looks

like it?s close to becoming a reality. The Italian Android

HD Blog found a picture on Picasa that purportedly

provides more details on the device and shows that it

will have a 10-inch display with a resolution of

2560 ? 1920 pixels, or around 299 pixels-per-inch.

No word yet on who?s manufacturing this new Nexus

tablet, but previous rumors suggest that it will be

Samsung.

Edit: The above picture is a mock-up I took from the web.

Android Hardware >> Windows hardware. Why why why?!?!

Because android considerably more popular than any mobile device with windows on it.

Why? Because manufacturers don't have to pay for the Android software.

They don't pay for the OS, but they pay to use Google apps, like Gmail and search and also for market access.

Android Hardware >> Windows hardware. Why why why?!?!

Because Android is more open, and OEMs can do whatever they want with it.

With WP7 they have to follow specific guidelines.

On the other hand, this model also has disadvantages. With OEMs forcing Android on extremely low level hardware, leading to horrible user experience.

Why? Because manufacturers don't have to pay for the Android software.

They do. To Microsoft.

Microsoft charges OEMs around $15 per Android device. That's about the same as the license cost for WP7. So, there's no difference whether they produce Android phones or Window phones.

The difference lies in the openess of Android. They don't follow any hardware guidelines. As soon as some newer technology comes, they implement it, and modify the software themselves. (This is what fragmentation is partly about. )

Yes they do. Android itself is free but if you want any Google services (maps, marketplace, etc) you must pay per device.

do you have a source for that? google service apps has to be licensed from google but OEM pay nothing.

google need these services in Android to make profit.

Asrokhel, the OP says an Italian blog found a picture, but that the linked picture was not the same one.

Funny thing is, I didn't see the image attached to the OP, because the image link is broken, I was talking about the image you see on the BGR article!

If you're referring to this picture:

That's a Nexus 7.

Regarding the original post on Android HD, you were right. It would appear that there were two 'leaks' concerning the Nexus 10/X. The one on Android HD was a picture taken with what they claim to be a Nexus 10 based on the EXIF data.

DAAAWWWM!! Isn't that a kick in the PPI pants to Microsoft. Now with Tablets MS has shown that instead of competing in real-time with Android and iOS they are going to lag with last year's technology. Surface v1.0 bad price for an already out-dated product. Surface v2.0 next year, might be worth getting...

You just contradicted yourself there. I don't have a source at hand but that's how Google makes money from Android (and obviously with Playstore).

**** just got real guys :woot:

Dawg, you're looking at it wrong :shiftyninja:

No, i didn't contradict. you just didn't understand. Licensing not always mean getting paid for providing a service.

There are free licensing. you have to get permission to use it but dont have to pay for it.

    • Samsung announces Galaxy A27 5G with 120Hz AMOLED display, expanded AI features, and more by Fiza Ali Samsung has announced the Galaxy A27 5G, its latest mid-range smartphone, bringing a handful of upgrades over last year's Galaxy A26 5G. While the changes aren't dramatic, they touch several areas that people tend to notice most in day-to-day use, including the display, performance, and software support. One of the more noticeable updates is the screen. The Galaxy A27 5G comes with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display that now supports a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and animations appear smoother. Samsung has also switched to an Infinity-O punch-hole camera design, which leaves more room for the display and gives the phone a cleaner look from the front. Under the hood, the Galaxy A27 5G is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor. The company says the new chip brings improved responsiveness in multitasking, gaming, and media consumption. The company also highlights GPU performance improvements and faster memory technology, which should contribute to smoother graphics rendering, quicker data handling, and improved power efficiency. Furthermore, Samsung has equipped the Galaxy A27 5G with a 12-megapixel selfie camera that is capable of capturing a wider dynamic range and more accurate colours. Like many smartphones launched recently, the Galaxy A27 5G also places a strong focus on AI features. Circle to Search with Google now supports multi-object recognition, making it easier to search for different products or items at the same time. The tech giant says the feature can also support virtual outfit try-ons directly from compatible search results. Photo editing tools are getting some attention as well, with Object Eraser updated to deliver cleaner edits when removing unwanted objects or people from images. Meanwhile, the Voice Recorder app can now transcribe and translate speech simultaneously in one of the 22 supported languages, which could be useful for meetings, lectures, or interviews. Samsung is also expanding AI assistant options on the device, with support for Google Gemini and Perplexity alongside Bixby. The company says these assistants will work more closely with Galaxy apps, including Gallery, to simplify common tasks. Samsung continues to strengthen its long-term software support policy with the Galaxy A27 5G. The smartphone will receive up to six generations of Android OS and One UI updates, along with six years of security patches from its initial global launch. In terms of security, the device includes Samsung Knox and Knox Vault, which are designed to help protect sensitive information stored on the phone. On the flip side, while the company is positioning the Galaxy A27 5G as a step forward from its predecessor, not every change is necessarily an upgrade. One of the first things buyers may notice is the higher price tag. The device launches at $349, making it $50 more expensive than the Galaxy A26 5G's $299 starting price. The selfie camera has also been reduced from 13MP to 12MP, while the ultrawide camera drops from 8MP to 5MP. Samsung has further downgraded the phone's dust and water resistance rating from IP67 to IP64. The Galaxy A27 5G is also marginally thicker at 7.8mm. The Galaxy A27 5G will be available in select markets starting July 3 and will come in four colour options, including Black, Blue, Light Green, and Light Pink. The company will also offer Samsung Care+ coverage plans for customers seeking additional device protection.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates by Taras Buria Windows 10 reached its end of life at the end of 2025. Microsoft kicked off the Extended Security Updates program, aimed at giving regular consumers one more year of security-only updates. By doing so, Microsoft gave users more time and money to update their computers to a newer operating system or compatible hardware. Now, with the end of the Extended Security Updates program quickly approaching, Microsoft is making an important adjustment. Users discovered that the official support article for the program now lists a new end-of-support date: The Extended Security Updates program is not a new concept. It has been an official way for business consumers to continue receiving critical updates for unsupported Microsoft products for many years. However, all this time, it was a business-only, paid feature. With Windows 10, Microsoft brought ESU to regular consumers, allowing them to get security updates for Windows 10 past October 2025 essentially for free. When Windows 10 was approaching the end of support, many guessed that Microsoft might adjust its support timelines, and this is exactly what seems to be happening. Of course, Microsoft would love everyone to switch to new computers, such as its latest Surface devices, but in the days of ever-growing hardware prices, not everyone is lucky enough to have money for a new PC. Leaving hundreds of millions of customers with a Windows version that no longer receives security updates is a major risk that Microsoft is not willing to take. If you have a Windows 10 PC to enroll in the Extended Security Updates program, check out this guide to learn how to do so.
    • Sony announces Bungie layoffs that will affect "significant number of employees" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sony today announced that major layoffs are happening at its first-party studio Bungie, the developer that has spawned series like Halo, Destiny, and Marathon over the past decades. The news arrives just weeks after Bungie delivered the final update to Destiny 2, and it's that team being hit with the layoffs the most. CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Hermen Hulst revealed the staff reduction today, calling it "painful news." "Over the past several months, together with Bungie leadership, we reviewed the studio’s long-term direction, development priorities, resource needs, and role within our broader portfolio strategy," said Hulst, explaining the decision. "We explored multiple alternatives before concluding that a reduction was necessary to align the studio’s resources with its current priorities and long-term goals." The layoffs will be hitting "a significant number of employees" across most of the Destiny franchise development team. It doesn't look like Sony is planning to continue the series following Destiny 2's sunsetting update. The studio is said to be in early stages of looking at other projects to pivot to, but it's said that keeping the size of the team at current levels is no longer feasible. "We know this decision has a profound impact on the people affected, their families, friends, and teammates," said Bungie leadership in a separate message on social media. "While these changes are necessary to best position the studio now and for the future, that does not lessen the difficulty of this moment or the impact it has on those affected." At the same time, "some" of the Marathon development team are also affected by the layoffs. The recently released multiplayer-only extraction shooter title hasn't seen a big boom of players either, but the company is reportedly hoping that the live service experience will pick up players with future updates.
