Rumour: Google teaming up with Samsung, not Asus, to produce Android-powered Nexus tablet
Possibly packing Android 5.0
Back in March, rumours began to circulate that Google and Taiwanese manufacturer Asus would produce an 7-inch Android-powered Nexus tablet.
According to new rumours, though, the search giant could be teaming up with Samsung, instead.
Android developer Adam Green has apparently uncovered bits of code in Google's Git Repository that are reminiscent of Samsung specs.
The code references an Exynos 5250 dual-core processor, a Mali GPU, and a S6E8AB0 display with 1280×800 resolution, for instance. A version of the Exynos processor is, of course, found in Samsung's Galaxy S III smartphone.
It's very likely that Google will unveil the next version of its Android operating system, Jelly Bean, at its annual I/O conference, which is scheduled to take place between June 27th and June 29th.
If Google's purported Nexus tablet is indeed real, there's a chance it'll launch packing Android 5.0.
