Google Nexus 10 2 release date may not happen anytime soon as the company is busy building new Nexus devices as well as updating the Android OS.
A lot of Google fans were waiting for the next generation of Nexus 10 tablet. However, Google was elusive when it comes to revealing whether they still have plans of launching the successor of its 10-inch tablet.
Currently, Google has its hands full as it is working on new Nexus devices such as the Nexus 8 tablet and Nexus 6 smartphone. Both devices were speculated to make an appearance at the upcoming I/O tech event scheduled in June. Google Nexus 8 will replace the Nexus 7 slab as the company realized that there is not much competition in the 8-inch market as compared in the 7-inch category. Google Nexus 6 smartphone is the successor of the current Nexus 5 handset that garnered a large following due to its note-worthy specs and features paired with a friendly price tag.
Moreover, Google has been exerting more effort into its Android operating system.
