Nexus 10 2 release date rumors and reports continue to spread on the internet as fans eagerly await the launch of the sure-hit device.

The most recent reports about the Nexus 10 2 release date suggest that Google's second generation full-sized device may come sooner than expected as the device is already in the works. Latest rumors are continuing to suggest that HTC will be manufacturing the Nexus 10 2.

According to the International Business Times, the online search titan allegedly convinced the Taiwanese technology company to build the Nexus 10 2 since its affiliation with Samsung, the originator of the first Nexus 10, was not renewed.

In addition, rumors are swirling that the Nexus 10 2 release date could drop during the third quarter of 2014, according to a Focus Taiwan report.

The newest reports regarding the Nexus 10 2 release date opposes earlier rumors that pointed out that the debut of the device may be terminated entirely or at least postponed since Google is seeking to focus on other devices.

Reports have claimed that Google is paying more attention to its Nexus 6, the newest version of its most popular smartphone, the Nexus 5. Furthermore, the first generation of the 10-inch Android tablet only just came back to the Google Play Store. As a result, many experts believed the Nexus 10 2 launch date might be delayed to a later than expected date.

As for the specifications of the tablet, the Nexus 10 2 device is touted to feature a quad-core processor that clocks speeds of 3 GHz.

Additionally, the Nexus 10 2 is projected to have a quicker processor, possibly the newest Snapdragon CPU or the NVIDIA Tegra 4, paired with 3 GB of RAM.

For its operating system, since Google typically unveils new devices along with a new OS, it is believed that the Nexus 10 2 could be launched with Android 4.5 Lollipop.

Google has yet to verify or refute these Nexus 10 2 release date and specs rumors at present, meaning things could still change.
