Huawei isn’t exactly the manufacturer that comes to mind when we think of tablets; the Chinese manufacturer is synonymous with midrange and high-end smartphones and phablets — mostly limited to Asian and European markets.

Google has reportedly dropped Samsung and reached a deal with HTC over the next-generation Nexus 10, according to unnamed industry sources. The current Nexus 10 hasn’t been quite as successful as its smaller sibling, the Nexus 7, but Google will surely be hoping that HTC’s design expertise can change that.
