Google and Samsung are working on a 10-inch Nexus tablet, according to a recent report from CNET. Analyst Richard Shim?told the publication that the Android-powered tablet would measure 10.1-inches, with a pixel density higher than that of Apple's new iPad (299 PPI compared with a 264 PPI).
Google currently sells a budget-friendly, $199 Nexus 7, and has plans to release an even cheaper $99 tablet (with production expected to begin in December). But Shim put this larger version in a different tier, noting that it will be a ?high-end device.? The beefier model would not only rival Apple's iPad with its slick display, but it would also likely compete at a similar price point, falling somewhere in the $500 range.?
As it stands, Apple dominates the tablet market. The company is also slated to release its own smaller, 7-inch tablet soon, which should help push sales even further by competing directly with Amazon's Kindle lineup and Google's Nexus 7.
Android-based tablets just haven't really had what it takes to keep up with the iPad thus far. But a joint effort by Samsung and Google could prove otherwise; both companies have already seen strong sales with the Galaxy S3 smartphone and the Nexus 7 (Google teamed up with Asus for that one).?
This wouldn't be the first time Google and Samsung have partnered up, either. The search giant already co-brands Samsung's?Galaxy Nexus phone.?But working together on a tablet could certainly strengthen that relationship while creating some serious competition for Apple.?
