The Google Nexus 10 was one of the best and most popular devices launched in 2012 sitting side by side with Nexus 7 in the shelves. It was then taking on the iPad in the 10-inch devices category. It has a fun rubber body, a spectacular screen and a lower price compared to other devices but is that all there is to know about the Nexus 10? Let us go ahead and review its specs and features and figure out if this tablet deserves your attention.
Size and Display
At the time when the Nexus 10 was released in the market, it was able to manage offering its users with a screen resolution that is higher compared to its rivals. The Google Nexus 10 is a 10.05-inch tablet that supports a resolution of 2560×1600 and a pixel density of 300ppi which is significantly better than its counterparts. It also has Corning Gorilla Glass 2 to protect the screen from scratches. Its dimensions are 203.9×177.6×8.9mm making it thicker and longer than iPad thus allowing its user a wider screen experience for watching videos.
Hardware and Memory
The tactic used by Nexus 10 is the same with its sibling Nexus 7 which was producing state-of-the-art hardware at the most affordable price in order to convince people to buy it. What’s great about this tablet is that it offers more storage capacity compared to the built-in memory of Nexus 7 which was a crippling 8GB. Now it has made a 32GB variant available from the start of its launch in the market.
To many tablet users’ surprise, the Google Nexus 10 didn’t use a quad core processor but just a dual-core one that is ARM Cortex A15 with Mali-T604 for the graphics processing unit.
Considering the specs and features that a tablet should have, the Google Nexus 10 deserves a rating of 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 simply because it is durable, light, it has a beautiful screen, it is powerful and most of all, it’s very affordable compared to its competitors. The only major problem that users have about this tablet is that it doesn’t have a Micro SD support for memory expansion especially that more and more people are now into loading up their devices with a lot of music, movies and games.
