Google Nexus 10 review: Perfect ten

12 December 2012
Android took the smartphone market by a storm, going from a nobody to the one to beat in just a couple of years, but tablets proved a tougher nut to crack. Google and partners have only recently started finding their pace and giving the dominating iPad...

    Wow - that THD measurement with headphones plugged in is simply atrocious. 30 times the ipad 3s distortion? Despite my strong preference for android over ios, I think I may refuse delivery of the unit I ordered and just buy an ipad. Samsung put a good hp circuit in the S3, wtf happened here?

      durran, 13 Dec 2012As awesome as this is.. i just cant bring myself to buy it.... moreof course that taste is subjective, but it is actually stunning when you hold it in your hands; in my opinion very well designed.

      Sleek, very well built, amazing screen, to me the only handicap is the limited 32gb... I'm sure in 5/6 months they will bring it to 64gb at the same price of the 32gb, which sucks...

        Just ordered one :) At first I was a bit distracted by the looks. Shame you cannot see the tablet somewhere in store.

            Look at this guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyjVJfsfPTU

            It actually looks pretty, especially the back. And nice to hold. Those speakers are perfectly positioned too.

              nice specs but the thing that really captures my attention was the way it looks, its ugly and the edges was way too thick!!! the samsung tab 10.0 was better in looks, i have google nexus4 and the 7, but the 10 will not going to be mine, its not good to see, it's like watching in an old 1930 television set lols!!

                  What did I say, the iPad 4 would rape it, and guess what, it rapes it big time. Benchmarks didnt even leave any clothes on.

                    Only one thing I would find disappointing with the Nexus 10 is it's poor video codec support. And I know you can find a player to bypass this, but why should you? My Samsung 5" player and Galaxy SII manage to play virtually every video format (up to 1080p) with ease. Just because you are challenging Apple, doesn't mean you should follow their 'one codec' narrow-mindedness. Android is about lack of restriction as opposed to Apple's lack of choice.

                      Sorry, personally I have nothing to do with it if it doesn't have 2G/3G. But on paper it's with pretty good specs.

                        4:3 screen size is a history and so old. Apple has no choice but make 16:9 ipads now, same way they did for iphone 5.

                            I was a bit skeptical on the appearance but when you get one it real life it is great. Put it beside an ipad and it makes the ipad look boxy and average.

                                    it can support USB OTG just download " nexus media importer" problem solved. I have had this tab for almost 3 weeks and I love it, before you diss the tablet see it first hand and use it then make your own choice but from my experience it's a amazing tablet

                                      the galaxy note 10.1 offers so much more. ok the screen is not the greatest, but I would much rather have 64gb micro sd, stylus and ir port. Don't see why more devices don't have ir my tablet sits by my bed In its dock and use it for a clock when I sleep and when I'm not using it and at 5am my alarm gose of and the tablet turns my lights on opens blinds switches the radio on and turns my tv on to the 5oclock news. Without me even touching it
