Samsung Nexus 10 images posted online by top Google executive, more benchmarks leak

If you can't beat them, join them. That seems to be Google's policy with Nexus 10 leaks.

With just 3 days left for Google's upcoming Android event, Google Senior VP of Engineering, Vic Gundotra, has posted fresh images taken from the Samsung Nexus 10 on his Google+ profile page.

The photo details mention Nexus 10 under 'Camera' EXIF information in the images of the beach side. The images shot are posted with a resolution of 2048x1536 translating to 3.1MP.

More recently, the Samsung Nexus 10 manual appeared online showing sketches of various ports and buttons on the tablet, including rear and front facing cameras.

In another set of leaks, AndroidOS.in reports that GLBenchmarks has listed the 10-inch tablet under the codename "Manta", which isn't surprising. More details include a 1700MHz or 1.7GHz processor, T604 Mali GPU, Android 4.2 and a screen size listing of 2560 x 1504. These seem to be pretty much in line with what we've heard earlier. 

Previously rumoured specs for the 10-inch tablet from Samsung suggest that it will feature a 2560×1600 pixel (16:10) resolution, translating into 300 ppi, outshining the new iPad's pixel density (264 ppi), with no details on pricing or other hardware specs currently known. As far as the OS is concerned, it is likely to run on Android 4.2 (currently codenamed Key Lime Pie).

We certainly expect all rumours to be put to rest at Google's upcoming event in New York on October 29, where the company is expected to unveil the 10-inch tablet. The search giant is also likely to announce the 3G Nexus 7 along with a 32GB version of its popular tablet as well as the LG Nexus 4, the next Nexus smartphone.
