Description of Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

This Brand New Samsung Google Nexus 10 comes in the original box from Samsung, this is the USA version unit. It comes with 1 year USA Samsung Warranty. This Tablet comes in a sealed box.
I have owned an iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad Mini, Asus Transformer TF300T, Sony Tablet S, Toshiba eXcite 10.1, Motorola Xoom, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10. There are different reasons I have continued looking for the Best Tablet Possible for my needs. Oh and my wife has a Samsung Ativ Smart PC Windows 8 Tablet (Great device).

BUILD QUALITY OF Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

I Know a lot has been said about the quality of the materials and how it Is plastic; Let me say I have seen all different builds and while the back might not be as high quality as the aluminum of the iPad, the Gorilla Glass 2 screens are miles ahead of the Apple offering and is Almost completely resistant to scratching. Overall I feel that the build is very good and I like the no slip backing more than any other tablet I Have used.

SCREEN QUALITY OF Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

The screen is flat out amazing! The Retina iPad has a 3 MP screen, a 1080P display is about 2 MP so, At 4 MP this screen even has your TV set beat! Contrast is good and Color favors accuracy over pop. In short, you likely will not find a Better screen on a tablet for some time to come but, the iPad Retina and Transformer Infinity Displays are as close to this screen as you're Going to get. Still, there's not a lick of aliasing on this screen even When zoomed in.

SOUND QUALITY OF Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

For some reason most tablet Manufacturers decided that the side and back of their tablets were the Best place for speakers and the results have been mixed. The Nexus 10 has them bookending the screen and it delivers sharp, crisp, full sound Where others fall flat. This is another area where this tablet tops the Competition.

PERFORMANCE & STABILITY OF Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

The combination On a lightweight OS and top notch hardware have made this possibly the Fastest tablet on the market. At the very least it on par with the iPad For all around performance. For the most part the tablet is a pleasure To use but, there are times when the unit locks up for no apparent Reason and yet, I don't consider this a deal breaker as the other 99% of The time it performs flawlessly.

If I cannot resolve the issues with the locks, it could become an issue quickly.

Updating The Review as it appears that others were right, Google Currents is now disabled on the Tablet and all of my Lock-ups are gone! I will be Bumping the review up to 4 stars until I get more familiar with it. Who Knows, maybe in a week this will be a 5 star Tablet.

OS & APPS OF Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

Obviously This is a Nexus product so it will automatically be updated whenever Google releases a new version of Android, an this is a huge strength for The tablet as it will likely get at least two operating system updates Per year.

Apps is scalable in Android so they will most likely The scale just fine but lower quality textures will make for a slightly less Than optimal viewing experience. As things mature, we will likely get Some very sharp and nice looking graphics.

I have heard claims That Android is not good for Productivity but, it isn't accurate. A few Of the Apps I like for Productive Purposes are...

Kingsoft Office - Awesome Office Suite Free On Android!
Magisto - Video Editing
Mint - Financial Management from Intuit
Sketchbook Pro Tablet Edition - Excellent Drawing App
Pen Supremacy - Doodle, Jot, make Notes or Diagrams
AutoCAD WS - Autodesk CAD App
Google Drive - Cloud Data Storage
Photoshop Touch - Decent Photo Editing On The Fly
Kindle - eBook Reader
Play Books - Google eBook Reader (Best Available Period)
DeuterIDE - Supports 40 Languages And Feature Built-In Compiler
Maestro - Musical Note Taking App

As You can see, you can pretty much do anything you want with this Tablet and it might not be as powerful as a Desktop but, it is every bit as Productive as a Windows RT tablet or an iPad.

Media Consumption Is decent but, not great. You do have multiple music sources, movie Sources, and book reading apps but, movie and TV apps tend to be lower Quality than what I get from my Apple TV (This is a problem to me as I Would prefer not to support Apple at all).

CAMERAS OF Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

With a 1.9 MP Rear Facing Camera and a 5 MP Front Facing Camera, this tablet Does quite well, and although the front facing camera doesn't match that Of the Transformer TF700 it is on par with the iPad 3 and 4.

GPS OF Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

Very Solid, but not as fast as the Nexus 7. Still very good over all and There isn't an IOS device on the planet that would be as good without Google Maps.

CONCLUSION

I really like the Nexus 10 and at 32 Gigs it really is hard for me to beat at $499. With that said, I Will keep it and rate the device a Cautionary 4 until Google fixes the Issue with Google Currents Locking the Tablet Up. Yes it is about once a Day but, it really shouldn't be happening at all and there are several Complaints on the Android Forums regarding the issue. Anyway, once that is taken care of, it will be the best Tablet on the block.

Also, I walked into Staples and Bought my 32 Gig model without any waiting So, don't pay these crazy prices because they market doesn't bare the The weight of this seller asking price!

UPDATED 3-23-13

It Appears that 4.2.2 has indeed fixed everything that has caused the Tablet to lock up and I couldn't be more pleased with it. This tablet Is extremely fast and stable now, I would recommend this over any tablet On the market.
