Android tablets came of age with a 10-inch tablet that offers a viable alternative to the Apple iPad

As a snowstorm claims on global programs, the battle of the tablets heats up. The recent announcement that Apple had sold its 100 millionth iPad underlined their dominance so far, but at the end of 2012, the company is a serious competition to the end.

If you buy the theory that success is compressed on ecosystems rather than purely material - iPad iOS + + + iTunes App store as the driving force behind the success of Apple - then you will see and Why Amazon Google became credible rivals with their Android devices.

Amazon Kindle is its range of fire beyond the United States, with its tightly integrated services and shops. Meanwhile, Google has expanded its brand Nexus smartphones to tablets, first with the Asus made Nexus-7, and now with the Samsung Nexus 10.

This is the most impressive 10-inch Android tablet, from its design and material specifications through its software.

But Google Nexus Android + Play is a shot in the tilt Android tablet on the market, at a time when the Google OS has swept its way to the principal smartphone? Lets see.

build quality

Nexus 10 is a slim and sleek tablet that feels solid, and it is well in hand, with rounded corners -. More rounded than the iPad

However dimples Nexus 7 again, this is mostly flat, and a section along the top, which can be removed and replaced by another with a protective cover.

Nexus

This is the equivalent of 10 is slightly fiddlier iPad Smart Cover: no magnets probably means no trial winging their way to Mountain View (or Seoul) Cupertino. Well along the bridge, at least.

There is an interesting contrast between the 10 and the Nexus iPad in hardware design, too. The focus of the iPad is in use portrait, given the positioning of your camera on the dock and the short sides of the unit.

The Nexus 10

have them in the longer sides, with the use of landscape in mind. Also extending their external speakers, which are arranged on both sides of the screen (when held in the horizontal orientation) as vertical stripes.

The sound quality is good, decent audio burly watch videos, play games or listen to music. The positioning means your hands are part of the speakers when you hold the tablet, but it has a particularly sensitive.

My use of tablets in the past three years, I have tended to use headphones for movies, games and music, so the quality of the external speaker is not a selling point for me. But if your habits are different, Nexus 10 speakers are excellent.

screen

Google made a big noise on the screen of Nexus 10, and this is understandable. It is absolutely wonderful

The 10-inch reinforced Gorilla Glass 2, a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels: 300 pixels per inch, which, as you can read all the articles on the device, but the screen the iPad Retina 264ppi.

Leaving the tech-spec-willy waving aside for the moment the Nexus screen 10 is really impressive: super crisp and bright, with an aspect ratio of 16:9 which is made for the films (and, vice Conversely, if you are picky), and pixel performance for the text.

Now back to the willy-waving. It's true: Google and Samsung surpassed Apple in pixels per inch pure, which can make marketing a little fun in the weeks and months to come. On a more personal level, all iPad owners have been too arrogant for Android friends have the Retina display in the past, is now going to get a connection.

The greatest truth? Both screens are, to use the technical term, really bloody good. Even when you watch the same movie on the Nexus 10 and the latest iPad from left to right would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

CPU and battery

is safe to say that the Nexus 10 is not short of grunt when it comes to processing power, thanks to its dual-core CPU A15 Eagle Mali T604 GPU and 2 GB RAM.

AnandTech has a lot of numbers and graphs to visualize the performance of Nexus 10, but what does that translate into your hands? Very fast, very smooth, very good.

3D games run like a dream on the unit, and everything seems too fast when you move between applications and the operating system. The quality of the screen would have been a shame for the Nexus 10 if his bowels were not up to par, but they are more than capable.

The same is true of your battery that lasts more than a day, even with a relatively heavy use.

Cameras

The idea of ??taking pictures or video using a 10-inch tablet is in front (rear) camera remains a puzzling notion for many, but not all iPads held high in the Olympic Stadium London earlier this summer may have belonged to an ambush marketing Apple so clearly part of the application.

Anyway, Nexus 10 has a 5-megapixel camera on the back capable of recording videos in 1080p resolution. Yes, there is a camera application that comes with:. One simple elegance, but others will probably appear in the Google Play Store

more convenient to use the front camera is 1.9 megapixel for video calls, while the use of third-party applications such as Skype - not certified for Nexus 10 at the time of writing , but it worked very well for me - or hangout, which remains one of the best features of Google's own social network Google+

installation experience

If you use some Google services, the creation of the Nexus 10 is a breeze. Log in to your Google Account when you turn on your device for the first time, and you're ready to go with Gmail, YouTube, Calendar, Google and other services.

accounts are also linked to Google Google Play store, so if you've used an Android tablet before, you will also have easy access to the applications you have downloaded elsewhere. As far as iCloud is updating an iPad to another process painless, so a Google account works well for Android users: the free apps you downloaded are added by default, and are available by paying Google play (you'll find them).

Android 4.2 Software

Nexus is the first Android tablet to ship with the latest Android 4.2 software, which is part of the same title that Jelly Bean 4.1, which was the first demonstration project Butter internal unity "Google in order to improve not only the appearance of Android, but the "feel".

be a big problem: the recognition by Google that, in many cases, 10in tablets are shared between several people in a household. The function has not yet been activated in the compilation of the software version of the device, however.

wireless display support
is also a welcome inclusion if you are interested in entertainment sling your tablet to your HDTV big screen - if you have the appropriate adapter.

Is Android equivalent of Apple AirPlay + Apple TV combo, and plays in the sense of becoming more vocal as televisions should not be smarter after all: the time that you are connected, the intelligence can reside on the device in the hands of its owner.
