If you live in Europe and happened to buy a Nexus 7 right before Google dropped the price, then you might be eligible to receive a €30 voucher from ASUS to make up some of the difference (₤25 voucher for UK users). However, only customers who purchased the device directly from either ASUS or Google are eligible. Read The Full Story

Nexus 10 Review

, Nov 2nd 2012 Discuss [55]

Google’s Nexus 7 demonstrated that the search giant should be taken seriously in affordable tablets; now, the Nexus 10 has arrived to prove Android has big-screen star quality. Offering a display that out-Retinas Apple’s iPad and no shortage of top-tier specifications, the Samsung-made Nexus 10 also manages to do all that while undercutting the iPad 4 by $100. Android tablets have always had more of a problem than ticking the spec sheet, though, so does the combination of Jelly Bean 4.2 and the Nexus 10 mark a real turning point? Read on for our full review.

Nexus Q removed from Google’s Nexus landing page

, Oct 31st 2012 Discuss [15]

Google unveiled their Nexus Q media-streaming device at the 2012 Google I/O developers conference back in June, and while critics didn't quite see the point of the device, it was in hot demand and eventually sold out overnight. However, it seems Google has given up on the device because it's nowhere to be found on the Nexus landing page on the company's website. Read The Full Story

How does Android 4.2 Jelly Bean wireless display mirroring work?

, Oct 29th 2012 Discuss [20]

If you're like me, the first time you heard of wireless display mirroring, your first question was - how? With Google's new Android 4.2 Jelly Bean+ operating system update, wireless mirroring is included in the code - but how does that work without the hardware to back it up? As it turns out, this whole situation has to do with Miracast wireless display sharing - an industry standard that allows your device to connect to larger device's displays using your wi-fi network as a middle-man.

If Google’s Nexus line gets wireless charging, will Apple follow suit?

, Oct 26th 2012 Discuss [42]

When a major competitor releases a hero product to the market that they intend to keep around for some time to come, you as a tech company have an opportunity – for Google, that opportunity exists in the absence of wireless battery charging in the iPhone 5. An image has been making the rounds today that very much appears to be approximately half of a Nexus Q – but is being called a wireless charging unit for the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 is almost certainly going to be revealed on Monday by Google at their big Android event [we'll be there!] as the same unit that’s been shown in a rather giant amount of leaked images over the past few weeks – with wireless charging via this pad, has Google suddenly one-upped Apple, not to mention Nokia?

Nexus 10 caught snapping Google exec’s holiday photos

, Oct 26th 2012 Discuss [0]

Google's Vic Gundotra has been doing some Samsung Nexus 10 teasing, using the unannounced but broadly-expected Android tablet to share some holiday snaps on Google+. Gundotra does not mention the tablet by name, but the Nexus 10 is listed as the identifier of the camera under the photo details on a number of shots. The resolution is given as roughly 3-megapixels, though since Google+ automatically resizes shots automatically uploaded, that's not necessarily the full resolution of the Nexus 10's camera itself.

Samsung Nexus 10 quick start manual spotted

, Oct 25th 2012 Discuss [20]

We've heard whispers that claim Google will be unveiling the Samsung-made Nexus 10 tablet during its event on October 29, but today we've got some photographic evidence to back those claims up. Images of a Nexus 10 quick start manual have been posted to Korean site Seeko, and through them, we get an idea of what the Nexus 10 will look like. It doesn't look too terribly different from the more famous Nexus 7, with the biggest difference obviously being the 10-inch screen. Read The Full Story

SlashGear Evening Wrap-Up: October 24, 2012

, Oct 24th 2012 Discuss [0]

Give yourself a pat on the back, because you've officially made it through Wednesday - only two more days to go and the weekend is here again. We had a lot of news hit today, so let's jump right in. Today we may have seen some leaked press shots of the LG Nexus 4, but then sadly found out that they might be fake. The Galaxy Note II is now available for order at T-Mobile, but it's a bit on the expensive side when compared to a certain other carrier, and new Apple documents have revealed that Samsung is the focus of a 3G patent antitrust investigation here in the US.

LG Nexus 4 leaks in apparently official press shot [Update: Is it fake?]

, Oct 24th 2012 Discuss [17]

What's believed to be a promotional image of the LG Nexus 4 bearing Google's Nexus branding has leaked, ahead of the smartphone's expected launch next week. The image, courtesy of tipster evleaks, fits with previous leaked photos of the handset in the wild, though that last sighting didn't include the bold "nexus" logo across the upper rear of the phone. Update: Not so fast! This might not be as legit as we hoped. Read The Full Story
