A Google Nexus 10-inch class tablet is being developed in partnership with Samsung and will be co-branded with both names, a U.S. analyst says.
The unit\'s 10.1-inch screen will boast a pixel density higher than Apple\'s third-generation iPad, Richard Shim, an analyst at NPD DisplaySearch, told CNET.
The display will have pixels-per-inch number of about 299, topping the 264 PPI on the 9.7-inch Retina iPad, he said.
The partnership with Samsung is a significant broadening of Google\'s relationship with the South Korean company.
Google already cobrands the Galaxy Nexus Samsung smartphone.
Although there\'s no word on a possible price point, Shim says it will probably be in iPad territory.
\"It\'s going to be a high-end device,\" Shim said in contrast to Google\'s current $199 Nexus 7.
Information about the 10.1-inch Nexus comes from \"supply chain indications,\" which typically indicate a high likelihood a product will be produced, Shim said.
