So are you? I keep looking online for information to the new Nexus 10, but no one seems to care. All I can find is information related to the new Nexus 5, and although it's a great looking device, I'm gonna wait a bit to see if I want to change carrier just to get it. What really has me excited is the concept of a far more powerful Nexus 10 device.
Yet, no one seems especially interested. So am I gonna have any competition at all buying this device? If no one cares I guess it'll make it that much easier to waltz in and buy it. I even sold my old one before the new one was announced so that I could get a good price for it.
I am with you. Looking forward to it. If it ever sees the light of day.

As someone who owned a Nexus 10, perfect does not describe it accurately. It may be perfect for you but I would like to see the new one improve on some things. Holding out for more news, but there doesn't seem to be any :/

Agree. A good device but not perfect.
Im also looking forward to the 2nd gen Nexus 10. However, I really hope that its not Asus that makes the next N10. They seem to f**k up every device they release.

Yup I am looking forward to it. The current Nexus 10 is good but you can tell that it has not really been optimised and it does lag. Because the new tablet will be using the 800 snapdragon (well hopefully) then it will sure be a hell lot smoother and stable.

That's what I felt about mine the whole time I had it. It was smooth... sometimes. Even with the subsequent updates it never really felt like it was "there" yet. I knew going in that it was a first gen device and that there may be problems. Perhaps they just couldn't find a CPU/GPU at the time that would handle the level of power needed. Overall I choose Android over iOS for the functionality, and wouldn't balk at a few stutters. However, there were many things that just seemed to really bother me.
Browsing the web was a complete chop fest on many of my favorite websites, most likely because the Nexus has to re-scale just about everything, every time, because of its very high resolution. Also, playing games was fun, but only til the tablet got really hot and throttled itself and the game started to slow down. Even the relatively simple game "Dungelot" had this problem. Stuttering abounded after that happened. It was other games too but that one I remember vividly.
In other words... I loved it, but I would also really love an updated version of it. One that doesn't have the problems present with the first.
Well it definitely looks like it'll be manufactured by Asus and not Samsung.
That doesn't really bother me - I came to the Nexus 10 from the Nexus 7 (first gen). Nexus 7 was awesome until 4.2 was released and it never recovered from that. It annoyed me that to get a decent experience from it I needed to use an outdated version of Android...
I sold my Nexus 7 and bought a 2nd hand N10. I do love my N10 but yeah obviously I would love an updated faster version, but for me money is an issue and I already got a great bargain for the 2nd hand N10 (for £185) (this was in July), so i wouldn't be able to afford a new N10. Same with the Nexus 5. Would freaking love one but no way I can afford it, I've got a 2nd hand HTC One X (for £145).
Yeah I agree Google need to sort out performance on android. Nexus 7 first gen was brilliant but after the 4.2 update it has been bad, and even with 4.3 with trim it is still laggy.
Nexus 10 on the other hand has got better with updates, it is just the kernel and driver which is letting it down in my opinion.

Right? Where's the new Nexus 10 spec leak? Come on, they've already pretty much shown us the whole Nexus 5. Specs, images, hell they even put it up on Google Play for a short time. I have looked through the roster of available tablets, and a new Nexus 10 is what I wanna go with, despite the absence of info. The new Note looks alright, but it also looks bloated and confusing.
Why can't the other tablet manufacturers understand that maybe the user actually wants to use some of that power for important things, not 100 background processes that slow the entire thing down. Oh sure you could root it and put a different ROM on, but why would I pay $550 for a tablet with all these special features I don't want and am going to just throw away? It's like pissing $150 down the drain.
Google needs to get on the ball with these new releases.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I too hope you are wrong. I can't wait that long....
I want a release already but then again if they release it on the same day as the nexus 5 (Oct. 24th) then I'll be spending around $1000 by Oct. 31st... So let's hope for a quick release but not so quick..

I'm with you. I've never been a fan of Samsung TouchWiz - it's just a bunch of unnecessary fluff as far as I'm concerned.
I purchased my current cell phone (Galaxy Nexus) from Amazon for just that reason.
Hopefully by the time the new Nexus 10 is out the Asus TF701T will be available as well - would be nice to have another choice at time of purchase!
Nope won't be upgrading as mine is perfect too

Needs to look more square like the Nexus 7 2013 and come in around £300.
Otherwise ipad air for me.
Hope they announce it soon.
Google is out of stock on the 16 Gb version. Since I doubt these things are selling like hotcakes now, I hope this means that they have stopped resupply in anticipation of the new one launching.
Pure conjecture.
Would be nice if...
Would be nice if we had some info on it. I've got the original wifi xoom mz604 and I'll say its held up nicely and it does everything I ask it to do, but I've upgraded my phone twice since getting it and I'm ready for the nexus 10 2 (nexus 10 2013?) to drop...or just some info to drop so I can make a decision whether to wait or not.
What I don't understand about product releases is that I would think manufacturers would want to release information as early as possible so that buyers can decide whether to wait and buy their device or to go ahead and buy an available device. I'd think that if someone wants a new tablet and wants to get the newest one available (that suits them), they would research whats available or coming up and make a decision. If i'm gonna buy a tablet today, but I know the nexus 10 2 is coming out in 2 weeks. I'm more likely to wait the 2 weeks and get the newest tablet out there. If theres no info on release date and I need a tablet now, I'll just go buy whats available now instead of waiting indefinitely.
Get the release date and price out there so I can decide to wait or not. Otherwise I'll buy something else today and you'll lose my business. I'm sure there are reasons to not release the info, but as a buyer...I want to know how long I have to wait.
At any rate, I want to switch to Nexus devices...but I'm on Verizon and won't be getting a nexus phone anytime soon I bet. So at least tell me when I can get the tablet...I mean, its my birthday today and I could tell my family just to give me some cash to save up for it instead of asking for something else just to be asking for something...i.e. mom is getting me a briefcase...exciting!
Lay out the release roadmap so I know what to do...please.
It is now official! Android L will now be called Android Lollipop and the Nexus 6 is going to be a beast of a phone!!!! So what are your thoughts on the new release and how do you guys think it will affect the LG G2? :fingers-crossed:
Was considering jumping to the N6, but at those prices... haha no.
Hello G2, you're my new best friend. Sticking with the G2, and eagerly awaiting development whenever google decides to drop source. I should learn how to compile and build roms when i go back to Canada...

Maybe in a year or two
I just got my G2 a few weeks ago and I'm loving it! Didn't go for G3 since It was out of the budget. Being a proud owner of a Nexus One and 7 (2012) I'd love to get a Nexus 6. But I'll wait a year or two when budget may allow or upgrade wife's phone to a Nexus 6
I was all set for upgrading to N6, but wow. Flagship price indeed. Will think about it. At that price range, I can go for a Note 4 or Z3, G3. There's no shortage of options. Nexus was always a favorite because of the price, but this...doesn't feel like a nexus.
The g2 is ultimately the nexus 5 for us Verizon gnex guys. In terms of development and specs, the g2 is where it's at. The n6 is just too steep in $$$$.
Nexus 6 is too expensive for my tastes...
Transmitted via Geass
I first was so excited for the next nexus, willing to buy it as soon as it's available. But then I thought about it again. The screen of the LG G2 is totally enough, and the size is at the maximum for me. Gonna keep this phone so far, hope to see some updates soon, G3 design and Android l.
I hope to see a Google Experience rom for LG G2 D802.
I don't want to buy the new Nexus 6, I think LG G2 is a great smartphone!
I saw some interesting asian forum with a lot of rom for D802..
Only waiting for LG to push android L. Sorry to say this but only a fool would invest in a new phone if they already have a G2. Perfect size, yea, neither too big nor small. A ton of features and big battery to back it up, check. Plus, great CPU power. G2 remains the best phone on the market.

Not interested in replacing my G2 any time soon but after using the L preview for the last couple months on my nexus 4, I REALLY want it now on my G2.
Nexus 9 though is looking mighty joocy and am considering getting one to replace my old 2012 N7.
I'm hoping the Nexus 6 will be available on some operators in Ireland. It's a tad expensive to buy sim free. I was planning on upgrading to the Note 4 and selling it straightaway to fund the Nexus 6 but I'm not sure.
No operators offered the Nexus 4 or 5 in Ireland so I'm thinking it may be the same this time around but hope I'm wrong.
I dont think its going to take until December for us to see an L rom. My verizon s3 had an unofficial kitkat build by november. Not even a month. This leads me to believe that we should see an L build about a month or so later, that is if we dont run into any major roadblocks such as the new baseband doesnt work on aosp LTE. Anyways, I'm jumping out of my seat for L
Hoping that since the N5 is a sister device to the G2 porting goes well.

I'm with you. Not ready to ditch it yet. Still a good running tablet that does everything I need it to do.
Yes this is great news. I'm very happy with my tablet. no need to ditch it, and with Lollipop i'm sure it'll run that much smoother.
This is awesome news because I'm very disappointed with the display size of the new Nexus tablet!
I wonder if we'll get a preview tomorrow, or just the final release when it comes out.

Read closer, it says lollipop is rolling out to Nexus 7 wifi and Nexus 10 week of Nov. 3rd.
Yeah I was just about to delete my comment. It's been a long day missed it. XD sorry
Awesome. I still may upgrade to the nexus 9 but for now I'll stick with this. I'm not sure whether I want the nexus 9 or z3 tablet compact yet. I'll probably keep this with android L until around December when both have been out for a while and reviewed well.
And maybe if android L is built really well it can give this tablet a complete refresh and just hang on to it without an upgrade for even longer. The specs are still holding up since this was pretty amazing at release

Here's hoping this isn't screwed up as badly as the last update (which has caused major problems for many, many people with not a word of response from Google to the bug reports), and isn't crippled with disabled features like previous updates.
I'm not holding my breath, though. After months of my tablet being barely usable due to continuous random reboots, app crashes and lag (sometimes multiple seconds to respond to a simple keypress or other screen touch), I'm just about over it.

I bought one for my daughter for Christmas last year, been running ThunderKat, it has been rock solid, so smooth and fast. It's night and day in regards to speed compared with the other cheaper tablets in our house. Lillipop should make it even better.
Good to hear that we are getting Lollipop. As the 10 meets my needs well, this makes me even more comfortable hanging on to it until the battery or LCD goes bad.
the N10 is still a very good tablet with a beautiful screen. I have latest L preview on my Nexus 5 and if it is any indication, it is going to run absolutely smoothly on Nexus 10. I feel its now good for another year or maybe even more!!!

Thanks for the tip. Shame that you have to rely on third-party devs to provide a stable ROM though -- Google's own work should be the most rock-solid available, but for the Nexus 10 it's not even close.
KitKat killed this tablet for me, im hoping that Lollipop will sort out the horrible battery drain and slow game performance, games ive played perfect on Jellybean became laggy and unplayable on kitkat and still are now
i suppose i should of tried a 3rd party rom.
Google has informed us that before the end of the calendar quarter (aka before 2017), Nexus devices and the Pixel C will receive a developer preview for Android 7.1 Nougat. It's unclear which Nexus devices will receive it, but the 6P and 5X definitely will, and the 6 and 9 might.

The only thing wrong?
REALLY?
I bought a 6P because i like having the latest version of Android and I also develop on it. And because google promised it (which turns out as false advertising, at this point)
What now? Will be only 7.1 delayed or every release? We will see another major upgrade?
By what I saw today, google's intentions are not anymore in the nexus line, so I can't even expect another major version of Android this time around.
Google may haven't lost money, but they surely lost a lot of customers trust. And trust isn't easy to build.
But it seems they couldn't care less.

Couldn't agree more. At this point I'm just convinced that Google is lost. They are trying so hard to re-invent themselves as some kind of Apple/Samsung/Amazon Wannabe that they have screwed everything up. I mean come on, Pixel EXCLUSIVE features? Seriously? Delayed releases for the Nexus Line?
Google you have just lost a customer today. My wife and kids wanted to move away from iPhone, and I was hoping for the Pixel to do so, but there's no way. I'm not even sure where to go now. I hate TouchWiz, I want a phone I can unlock the boot loader on, root, etc. Maybe the LG V20 will turn out better, but it's been MIA now for weeks.
I didn't realize until today how high of standards I hold my 6P too, and how I'll not be able to move away until something truly amazing comes along (and I'm really hung up on having front facing stereo speakers now)

Yup. I started android with HTC. Was burned with promised OS updates on the Hero, gave them a second chance and was burned again with promised OS updates on the Evo LTE, jumped to Nexus to avoid having that issue ever again and here I am wondering when we are going to get updates and what "features" are they going to withhold for no reason other than greed.
Hi I'm absolutely new to these forums but have owned nexus phones since the nexus 5. And the sole reason I left other OEMs is the software availability with fast updates. And that's how it's been these past few years. ... And now I just bought the Nexus 6P from moving in from Nexus 6. And I've read that Google is abandoning it's nexus lines on certain EOL dates and unfortunately nexus 6P isn't so far away.
But it isn't what has me mad. It's the fact that nexus devices are not going to receive fast updates anymore or receive the same treatment the Pixel phones are going to get ( updates )... I can care less about Google exclusive features for the Pixel but don't delay our updates. Especially when we bought our phones cause of this reason ... Not a lot of people can afford to buy a new phone every year. So I don't want Google to do us dirty.
So if you agree with me and don't agree with Google's decision then let's rebel and refuse to buy Google's Flagship and comment showing your ideas and support... let's start putting some control in consumers hands.

Same here. I mean I see no reason to switch my device of practically the same one i've already got. So I guess I'll either get me a used one for a cheap price OR, get a bran new one as I did with the 6P , like a Month or two before the new PIXEL XL will be launched.
I would love to own a new pixel xl but i cant justify the price. Ill stick with my 6p as it is the best phone ive ever owned. Maybe next years gPhone, if they learn their lesson.
Google is getting worse than Apple. It'd be nice to know if you could buy one device and it get timely stock Android updates for years. Old iPhones still getting updates, albeit they might be missing some features.

That is completely unfair to Apple. Their hardware is gorgeous and robust, and the software just works (as long as you only use it as "uncle Steve" intended) and is, usually, far far more polished than anything available on Android. Case in point - the gyro and compass. Why do I need to manually recalibrate the compass on all Android phones I have ever owned to have the arrow pointing in the direction I am facing? And why do I never need to do this on my wife's iPhone, going back to at least one day he iPhone 3? Why do so many of us install the ios emojis over the grossly ugly ones from Google? These may seem like small things but they are part of the overall user experience.
Google is far more like Microsoft from the late 90s than Apple. Me too approaches, rough around the edges, and best suited for the pocket protector crowd that is willing to deal with the occasional BSOD for the sake of the ability to dink around.

Their hardware is gorgeous and robust, and the software just works (as long as you only use it as "uncle Steve" intended) and is, usually, far far more polished than anything available on Android. Case in point - the gyro and compass. Why do I need to manually recalibrate the compass on all Android phones I have ever owned to have the arrow pointing in the direction I am facing? And why do I never need to do this on my wife's iPhone, going back to at least one day he iPhone 3? Why do so many of us install the ios emojis over the grossly ugly ones from Google? These may seem like small things but they are part of the overall user experience.
Google is far more like Microsoft from the late 90s than Apple. Me too approaches, rough around the edges, and best suited for the pocket protector crowd that is willing to deal with the occasional BSOD for the sake of the ability to dink around.

Google are like a "beta" company. Scrapping hangouts for Allo and Duo is crazy as well it all feels very rough around the edges and scattergunned. I mean having Allo and Duo locked to one device.... WTF?!
I'm passing on pixel and if Google continues to dink around I'll either move to another Android maker or go back to Apple.

The Nexus will get (official) updates until September 2017 and that's it. Not long away, sadly. I'm not even sure it'll get official "O".

Hopefully, yeah. Depends also if we get the whole 8 then 8.1 on the Pixel 2.
I cannot believe how pissed everyone is over this. You all act like Google has 7.1 complete for this phone and they're just not sending because of pixel. I highly doubt it's complete....it's not done and it might not be done because of pixel but who cares. Didn't we just get 7.0? We need major updates monthly now? Everyone is talking about going to Apple, go for it, if you don't end up back on Android I'd be surprised. I recently bought my wife and iPad pro for her birthday, it froze twice during setup....it doesn't "just work" any better than Android and it's boring as hell. The screen on my phone seems 100x better than it is on the iPad. If you want Apple to keep updating your four year old device making it unusable that's up to you.
