New Benchtest Supports Google Nexus 10 2 Hardware Rumors - Tegra 4, Adreno 330 GPU
Another Nexus 10 benchmark was spotted online, tipping a high-end hardware for Google's unannounced Android tablet. The Google once again poked out of the bag in another benchmark test leak. Just as the rumour mill keeps tipping for some time now, proof appears to suggest that the second-gen Nexus 10 will not be powered by the obvious Qualcomm SnapDragon 800, but instead by a Tegra 4 chipset.
Consumers who are holding out for the Nexus 10 successor for purely gaming purposes should be ecstatic to know about the good news: Tegra 4 is just about as good as it gets for games on the go now. Patience may be running out now but the more people hear about the unannounced Nexus 10 2, the longer they're willing to hold out. We are likely looking at a 10in Nexus slate but this device offers a resolution that's expected to come around at the 2560 x 1600 mark.
It's reasonable to believe that Google placed an Adreno 330 GPU under the Nexus 10 2 hood and this could mean spectacular graphics. 2 GB of RAM is something quite given with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box and with all these, the package can be pretty compelling.
But these specs are not the best yet. Some people say the reason the Nexus 10 2 is taking very long to put together is Google's plan to make it as cheap to build and retail as possible. It may sound too good to be true but rumours circulate about a 16 GB version hitting the stores for not more than around $350 - a very reasonable price with all the features and specs the device could offer.
The Google Nexus 10 by Samsung was released in Nov. of 2012 and reports suggest that it will be the same company in-charge of the Nexus 10 2. Many are still doubtful because Google is still a competition for Samsung so there have been speculations that the tablet may be manufactured by either ASUS or LG.
Everything is still hearsay as of now until Google breaks its silence but it makes for an exciting read nonetheless. Are you still holding out for the Nexus 10 successor or have you lost patience and took a different device?
