According to multiple sources, Google is currently working on the 10-inch "premium" Nexus 10 tablet with Samsung as the manufacturer.
The tablet will have a massive pixel density, higher than that of the iPad's Retina Display.
If accurate, the sources say the tablet will have a 2560 x 1,600 display and a PPI of 299. The third-gen iPad has 264 PPI and a 2,048 x 1,536 resolution.
Richard Shim, an analyst at NPD DisplaySearch, also noted that Samsung will be building the tablet, instead of Asus who built the Nexus 7. Samsung has developed some of the most popular Android devices, and worked with Google on the Galaxy Nexus, which featured Ice Cream Sandwich when it first launched.
Shim also said Google is working with Asus on a $99 tablet that will go into production in December for launch in the Q1 2013. It is unclear what kind of components will go in the tablet to keep the consumer price so low.
