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.
