Will the Google Nexus 7 be joined by a larger sibling in the coming months?
Google seems to have bigger plans for the tablet market as DigiTimes claimed that the company is working on a 10-inch version of the Nexus 7.
Quoting sources from touch panel manufacturers, DigiTimes mentioned that Google is expected to use 10-inch panels from AU Optronics and Wintek for the new tablet. Wintek is said to be the one of the two suppliers of one glass solution (OGS) touch panels for Google's Nexus 7 tablets.
Although no specific timeline is mentioned, it is possible that the 10-inch tablet, dubbed the Nexus 10, will make an appearance by the end of the year as The Wall Street Journal reported that Google will work with as many as five manufacturers to introduce a portfolio of five Nexus-branded devices.
We've seen the unveiling of the Nexus 7 tablet at Google I/O last week alongside the launch of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. With five more months to go before the next refresh of the Nexus smartphone, there is certainly more than enough space for a couple more smartphones and tablets.
