Google outs Nexus 4, Nexus 10; adds HSPA+ to Nexus 7

Unlike Microsoft, Google has cancelled their event due to hurricane Sandy. However, this didn’t stop the search giant from unveiling their recent products which includes the data-enabled version of their famous 7-inch tablet along with the LG Nexus 4 and Samsung Nexus 10.

Once again, the rumor mongers were spot on with their predictions as Google announced they announced the two new additions to their Nexus lineup. Let’s start with the big gun shall we?

Samsung outfitted the Nexus 10 with 9000mAh battery which, according to them, should last you up to 9-hours on regular use.
