Competitors
Priced under $ 400, the Nexus 10 is an
attractive package, but despite the screen, it may not have the best
performance in the group. In fact, apart from the lack of resolution (1,920x1,080
vs. 2,560x1,600 of this guy), we think the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 is an
overall better package. It's thinner, lighter, faster, has a much better
camera, provides better battery life (especially if you choose the keyboard
dock), and frankly, we would like to choose the brightness and contrast of that
600 nit, Super IPS + screen rather than this screen with its additional pixels.

Pad Infinity TF700 is an overall better package.
What does Asus’s model lack? First of all,
it is Android 4.2, but as we have mentioned above, you only lack an accessory
keyboard app for the best stuff offered at this time. And the Nexus 10 has a
starting price at $399 for a 16GB model. The cheapest price we could find for
the TF700 is $477 - but that price is for a 32GB model, so it's really $20
cheaper than the 32GB Nexus 10. In addition, the TF700 provides expandable
storage.
Also, there is the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, which
is currently priced at $349 for the 16GB version (the user can expand), so you
are saving a little money, but it's bigger, heavier, has got a 1,200x800
screen, provides the poor performance and has the same poor camera. However, it
has better battery life.
And of course, if you're thinking about
switching to iOS, there is the 4th- generation iPad. That tablet’s
2048x1536 screen lacks quite a variety of pixels on both dimensions but it has
more than adequate in return for it in other aspects (namely contrast and
saturation), its battery life is much better (over 11 hours on our test), and
of course it provides access to billions of apps optimized for tablets in the
App Store - with the starting price is $100 more expensive.
Conclusion
The Nexus 7 has impressed us in almost
every aspect. There were a few errors we forgave thanks to its cheap price. For
about $400 to $500, the Nexus 10 is really on par with many other 10-inch
Android rivals - even a little more expensive than some - and with average
performance in most sectors and sub-standard battery life, it bases on
incredibly high resolution and new Android version to stand out. Unfortunately,
neither of which is enough to make this tablet leave behind the competitors far
away.
Indeed, the resolution is quite good, but
in many ways, the Super IPS + screen on the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700
is even nicer, and in addition to the new keyboard, there is nothing much in
Android 4.2 to be excited about at this moment. Of course, the real beauty of
the Nexus series is that when Android 4.3 is released, this tablet will be the
first model to have it, and of course it is quite worthwhile. But is it good
enough to make up for other shortcomings of this tablet?
