Nexus 10 Review: A Best but Cheap 10 inch Tablet

Google has released the second tablet Nexus 10 this month accompanied with Samsung after the launch of 7 inch Nexus 7.It has boomed since it is available at Google Play and it is quickly sold out internationally as well as LG Nexus 4.So, why does it attract people soon? Where does it better then Nexus 7? Let’s just explore the features of Nexus 10.

Competitive Hardware and Display

Key points.With a notable 10.1-inch 2560 x 1600 WQXGA display(300 ppi), Samsung gives Nexus 10 a dual-core 1.7GHz Exynos 5250 A15 processor with Mail T604 graphics and 2GB of RAM. You have two options of storage 16GB and 32GB.It has doubled the resolution of Nexus 7 and created the highest resolution even iPad 4 which sports 2048*1536(264ppi) cannot compete for in tablet market at present, the 1.7 GHz processor is the fastest as well.

Portability.It measures 8.9mm and 603 grams which slightly thinner and lighter than the full-size iPad's 632 grams.

Camera.Nexus 10 has a 5-megapixel rear camera for shooting videos at 1080p resolution, better than cameras on other tablets, going with a camera app. Of more practical use is the 1.9-megapixel front camera for video calls for Google+ and other social work.

Ports and sensors.Ports include microUSB (for charge) and micro HDMI, and there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack and Pogo pins for use with a dock. All of the usual sensors include an accelerometer, digital compass, ambient light, gyroscope, barometer, microphone and GPS.

Battery.The battery is a 9,000 mAh Li-Poly pack which Google says is likely good for up to nine hours of HD video playback.

Display.With the 16:9 aspect ratio screen and more-than-Full-HD resolution, Nexus 10 is ideal for widescreen video playback without black framing bars.

Featured Software

Just like Nexus 4, Nexus 10 runs the latest Android 4.2 Jelly bean. It takes many new useful and dazzling features. Most notably is Photo Sphere which allows you to create 360-degree images. You can also share the images or even add to Google Maps. Google Now, a Google's voice-powered assistant similar to Siri, brings you the information you care about like sports scores, weather, and even the status of packages from Amazon that have been shipped to you. Also there are many new amazing features about Android 4.2, you can check out this article” New features of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean You should know “.

Better Entertainment

Playing games.Thanks to its high HD display, playing games on Nexus 10 has become a more excited experience. When playing a heavy game like Angry Birds Star Wars, it was awesome than ever. You will feel that never too clear.

Content side.Approximately 600,000 apps and games are available, and up to 20,000 songs and many films can found at Google Play store, less than Apple store but Google is now working hard on it and more and more contents will be offered.

Fastest Web.With a strong Wi-Fi connection, you can get a fast web speed and use YouTube as a breeze. Also, the 2 GB of RAM helped apps open quickly and made multi-tasking very efficient.

The bad Parts

No memory card slot. Nexus 10 comes in 16GB and 32GB models, and if that’s simply not enough, you just cannot expand the storage, which is really terrible for us.

No 4G LTE. If you want a 4G LTE Nexus 10 just like Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9, you will be disappointed. At least at the moment, Nexus 10 is a Wi-Fi only tablet.

Price

$399 gets you the 16GB version, while $499 hooks the 32GB model, which has $100 lower than iPad 4.

Conclusion

With superior design and swift performance, Nexus 10 is no doubt one of the best Android tablets to date. Including beautifully sharp screen with highest HD display and the fastest processor of any Android tablet, the best Android OS and amazing Photo Sphere, Nexus 10 make a difference. It's light, durable, and it is an incredibly cool concept. The $399 price tag is not expensive with such specs. But the lack of expanding storage is still one thing that keeps people away from it. But if you don’t care this and you just want a cheaper tablet with more customization, then go with the Nexus 10.
