The Google Nexus 10 was an entirely expected model that rocked up on the shelves in late 2012, taking on the iPad in the 10-inch segment and joining the Google Nexus 7 on the virtual Play Store shelves.
With a stunning screen, fun rubber body and a lower price, is this the tablet you should be craving?
It wasn’t going to be an easy fight for Google; the iPad has always been in a league of its own and had a serious head start, but Google wasn’t entering the fray unprepared.
At £319 for the 16GB model the Google Nexus 10 is £80 cheaper than the equivalent iPad Air. In fact even the 32GB model, with its price tag of £389 comes in at slightly under a 16GB iPad Air and it’s far cheaper than a 32GB one.
Don’t think that just because it’s relatively cheap it’s not a premium, powerhouse device though. With a retina-searing 10.05-inch 2560 x 1600 Super PLS display, it’s even higher resolution than the latest iPad, with 300ppi against the iPad Air’s 264ppi.
With a display that beautiful it’s reassuring to know that it uses Corning Gorilla Glass 2 to keep it in pristine condition.
Initially launched running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, the’pure Google’ tab has since seen three OS updates spanning Android 4.2.2 right through to Android 4.4 KitKat, which made its way to the device in the early part of this year.
Unfortunately for those who like to lug massive tablets around on the go or stream content until their heart’s content, the much-talked about 3G or 4G variant never actually materialised.
In the months that have passed since this review was first published however, speculation has mounted over when the next Nexus 10 will appear and what it’ll have under its sizeable hood, with the latest rumours suggesting all manner of improvements are on the way.
