The new Nexus 10 could appear any day now, according to a new rumor

A couple of what are apparently press renders for the upcoming Nexus 10 (2013) tablet leaked over the weekend, and, if genuine, add more weight to the suggestion that Korean tech company LG will manufacture Google’s large-size 10.1-inch slate. Calling on LG to produce the tablet would mark a move away from Samsung, which has been responsible for the manufacture of the first-generation Nexus 10 since it hit the market in November last year.

LG, meanwhile, is responsible for knocking together the Nexus 5 phone, though Asus makes the Nexus 7 slate for Google.

The bottom image, which admittedly looks pretty crude but supposedly comes from Spanish broadband and telecommunications provider Telefonica (via a disgruntled employee), shows a thinner bezel, what looks to be a front-facing speaker, and Android 4.4’s Google Experience launcher, first seen on the new Nexus 5. There’s a price tag too, showing £300 (about $482) – presumably this refers to the cellular version.

The second image (above), which also appeared on Reddit but has since been taken down, comes with the impossible-to-miss LG logo. The folks at Phone Arena reported that text that appeared on the now-removed webpage showing the image revealed the tablet will hit the market on November 22 – that’s Friday this week – in both black and white flavors.

If other recent leaks and rumors turn out to be correct, Google’s largest tablet is expected to launch with a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution – matching that of the current version – 3GB of RAM and possibly a Snapdragon 800 processor.

An 8-megapixel camera could also be on the cards. If so, this would be a step up from the 5-megapixel shooter found on the existing Nexus 10.

The suggested November 22 launch date is certainly a possibility, and would be just over a year since the arrival of the original model. Google will surely want to have it on the market in time for the holiday season, and leaving it much later would certainly risk missing out on sales.

If you’re interested in laying your hands on the new Nexus 10, hopefully there’ll be some news before the week’s out.

Amazon discounts latest iPad 10.2 in new early Prime Day deal

iPad 10.2-inch hero

Apple's eighth-generation iPad with a 10.2-inch Retina display is already part of early Prime Day deals, less than a month after its release. The popularity of tablets has grown over the years, so there will surely be many people looking for good iPad deals once Prime Day starts on October 13. You don't have to wait to start taking advantage of Prime Day iPad deals though, as the latest iPad is already on sale for $299, for a $30 discount from its original price of $329.

The latest-generation iPad features a striking 10.2-inch Retina display with crisp colors and superb clarity, which is perfect for watching videos and browsing images. Apple promises 10 hours of battery life, but under light to moderate use, the tablet may last several days on a single charge.
The latest iPad, however, is not yet updated to the all-screen design that debuted with the first-generation iPad Pro and expanded to the fourth-generation iPad Air. That is not entirely a bad thing though, as Apple has perfected the structure of the tablet, while also keeping the Touch ID fingerprint sensor as a security option.
The eighth-generation iPad keeps its predecessor's 8MP rear camera and 1.2MP selfie camera, which are serviceable but will not produce high-quality photos. Both versions are also capable of running iPadOS14, which introduces redesigned widgets, better search features, and improvements to many of Apple's apps.
The major selling point of the eighth-generation iPad, however, is the upgrade to Apple's A12 Bionic processor, which will allow you to take advantage of the tablet's multitasking features as it enables better performance while multiple apps are open. While older iPads are prone to slowdowns, the new iPad breezes through the tasks without a hitch to ensure that you get your tasks done as quickly as possible.
The eighth-generation iPad may be considered an incremental upgrade to its predecessor, but the faster processor makes it a much more valuable tool for work, studies, and even leisure. The tablet already offers so much value at its original price of $329, but an early Prime Day deal slashes $30 off to bring it down to $299. For a device that only launched in September, the discount only adds to the many reasons why you should take advantage of the offer.

Prime Day arrives early for the shiny new Apple iPad 10.2 (2020)

iPad (2020)

Officially, Prime Day 2020 doesn’t land until October 13, but Amazon is famous for priming us for the big day by leaking out some awesome preview sales as it approaches. Some evidence dropped this morning, with the price of the iPad 10.2 on Amazon, at $30 off. That means you can get a new eighth-generation iPad 10.2 for $300, down from its original price of $330. Apple products never last long once they’ve been discounted, so if you’re in the market for an iPad, ump on this opportunity to grab the latest.

Whether you’re updating an older iPad, looking to sidestep from a laptop to an iPad for your home/work balance, or just finally want to get your hands on the best tablet out there, the iPad 10.2 has a ton to offer. What the iPad 10.2 doesn’t have in storage space (less relevant than ever due to the constant availability of Wi-Fi and access to the cloud) it makes up for in amazing features and design. At the same time, accessories for the iPad -- like the Smart Keyboard and Apple pencil -- have made it so that, functionally, your tablet can serve as a laptop, and more, at a moment’s notice. It’s something really important to keep in mind while browsing the iPad Deals we’ve collected. A tablet might take care of all your computing needs.
