Nexus 10 Release Date: Leaked Screenshot Shows Google Asus Nexus 10 Device Coming, Rumors Point To Oct. 14 Release Date

Nexus 10 release date rumors has sprung anew Wednesday when famed gadget leaker, EVLeaks, showed a screen shot from an unnamed store computer system listing the “Google Asus Nexus 10.” According to Phandroid, there were very few details given in the image and not even the price was disclosed.

According to the International Business Times, the Nexus 10 release will be the biggest launch date of Google for the year 2013 and rumors are pointing to an October 14 release date for the gadget.

The Business Times cited out some reasons why the Oct. 14 release is likely to happen. Numerous tech watchers and bloggers are expecting that after the iPhone launch and the rumored iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 launch, Google does have in its arsenal a big move, which many believe are the Nexus devices. It is worth noting, that Apple is not done yet and would launch the iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 on October 15, a day after the expected release of the Nexus 10.

Android Central has also confirmed the possibility of a pending Nexus 10 launch. The tech-site pointed to a tweet by PC World, showing the 10-inch Nexus slate with the Asus branding and set to appear soon on the shelves of U.K. retailer, Curry, reported the Business Times. The expected tablet is reported to have a storage configuration of 16 GB and will retail for £350, which is a jump from the 2012 pricing.

The leaked images suggest that Google Play will soon display the full-sized Nexus tablet as the online storefront typically carries all Nexus devices in advance of the release.

Many are expecting Google to upstage Apple by unveiling its new smartphone, the Nexus 5 together with the Nexus 10 a full 24-hours before the iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 release. Google has been positioning the Nexus 10 to compete with the 9.7-inch iPad and it aspires to get a headstart by introducing the device earlier, even if it’s only by a day.
