Everything you need to know on the Nexus 10's price, specs and release date in the UK
As rumoured, Google has teamed up with Samsung to produce the Nexus 10, a bigger version of its Nexus 7 tablet.
Google went ahead and announced the Nexus 10 alongside its Nexus 4 smartphone and new Nexus 7 models despite hurricane sandy cancelling the launch event. The Nexus 10 is Google's answer to the Apple iPad which is now in its fourth generation.
The Nexus 10 will go on sale in the UK on 13 November in two models – 16GB and 32GB. It's similar to the Nexus 7 in that it runs on Android but is designed to be used predominantly in landscape mode. Google touts it as the "highest resolution tablet on the planet" thanks to its 2560 x 1600 pixels. See below for the full specification list.

Stephen Harris1 said: Looks like a great product for the money and as a first time tablet buyer Im definately persuaded to buy this against the ipad 4 Ive done a lot of research and its clear that some reviews are very biased to the ipad particulalry the UK Times Hopefully the Nexus will have an equal number of great apps but as I primarily want wifi internet access monile connectivity isnt an issue Gets my vote I just hope that buying this time doesnt see a major upgrade too soon
