Early Reports Revolving Nexus 11

NewsTribe and CNET have similar specifications about the upcoming Nexus 11 which may be released in October 2013.

"Nexus 11 might be coming with 11-inch crystal clear video and Super PLUS display panel with the resolution of 2560 x 1600. In terms of processor specs, we could expect the Nexus 11 to have 1.8GHz quad-core Tegra 4 and 72-core NVIDIA GeForce," according to NewsTribe.

"The so-called Nexus 11 will reportedly feature an 11-inch Super PLS TFT display, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and microSD expansion. This high-end unit will be the first tablet to feature Samsung's octa-core processor, alleges the blog. It is unclear at this which version of Android will run the operation," according to CNET.

Since the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean source code is already out and allegedly running Asus K009, it is most likely that Nexus 11 will at least have the same OS, if not Android 5.0.

Nexus 11 as an Upgraded Version of Nexus 10

Some sources classify the Nexus 11 as an upgraded version of the Nexus 10, boasting an all new Android OS version, new set of core processors and improved cameras. Since the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie is not due till October 2013, the Nexus 11 may run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean instead and later will be updated after the Key Lime Pie has been launched.

"According to unconfirmed reports, Samsung the maker of the Nexus 10 is working on a Nexus 11 with Super PLS TFT touchscreen, 8MP camera, front camera, microSD and powered by a Samsung octa-core processor. Since it may not due out until the fall it may be launched with Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie," according to a report quoted by iDigitalTimes.

Price of the Nexus 11 remains unknown but as always with Nexus devices, Google sell these Android-powered smartphones and tablets at reasonable price compared to competitors in the market.
