Google nexus - Nexus 10 General

It's not perfect but there are many things about the Nexus 10 that are better than the iPad 4. There's no denying that the difference between the iPad 3 and 4 is smaller than the difference between the first and second or the second and third and the iPad 4 has suffered because of it.

I had Sony Xperia Tablet S. Now I.m happy owner of Nexus 10 It's amazing device. Beautiful display, nice design, fast. No crash at all Really stable Tablet. My wife also love it Now I have more time for playing when she has Nexus is her hands hehe. For me best tablet so far.

I dunno, there's a pretty significant difference between the iPad 3 and 4 under the hood-- the thing is that Apple got the interface problem solved a long, long time ago, and given what kinds of games most people play on their tablets (casual things like Angry Birds), it's not like your average consumer will notice anything changed besides the Lightning port over 30-pin.
As an iPad 3 launch day buyer, I was annoyed by the quick release of the iPad 4 (because those differences do matter to me, especially the processor bump), but my iPad 3 serves me well enough already and I like having the option of using a 4:3 tablet if I feel like it. The Nexus 10's not half bad in portrait, but it always makes me feel a tad ridiculous.

Just bought an Nexus 10 second hand. I know a new one is around that corner but just couldn't wait. Had a look at the Toshiba Pro tegra 4 at my local store but it didn't impress me. It was a bit laggy.
Fingers crossed it will come tomorrow.

Nobody knows when new Nexus 10 will be released... don't worry you made a good choice buying current N10 I heard that Toshiba with t4 has overheating problems...

Yeah I'm a bit dubious about buying the current N10 after one of the Google bosses mentioned about the new N10 in the pipeline, but I could be waiting till November for the new one.

I really like the Nexus 10, it's a very fast device, also has a nice battery life! Another thing I really liked is the screen and how good it is to use to watch Movies/Anime/Series/etc, I feel comfortable holding it. With Android 4.3 update my device became even faster and the freezings it used to have stopped.
I won't talk about iPad, as I'm an open Apple Hater, so don't discuss with me it, unless you want me to show my "other side" lol! By the way, I got my Nexus 10 after coming from Motorola Xoom, which was still a great device

I'm really tempted to get the 10... but November is really close...
What's the probability that the new Nexus 10 will be really released on November? 50%, 80%, 100%?

If things go as expected it's very possible . Check my complete comparison of it against Motorola Xoom, if it happens like the transition of Xoom to Nexus 10 you may have a good idea of what will happen, also it's a review I made, so you may find some info there.

Some people are even saying October.
I only bought mine today because I got a good deal 2nd hand. I would not buy one new at this moment in time. I wish I had got one last year but reading this forum maybe not getting one was a blessing in disguise due to the restarts and bugs in 4.2.
Looks like 4.3. may have fixed this so happy days!

[offtopic] to make it short nexus 7 is better than any galaxy tab [\offtopic]
Nexus 10 has good specs etc.. but is too big and heavy for me, so i decided to buy n7.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7
I own both so here is my 2 cents...
The N10, for me, is better all around tablet. The screen is far better, it's thinner, faster and smoother than the N7, and the front facing speakers are great. The N10 also has a micro HDMI port for connecting to projector for work presentations. Battery life is great.
The N7 is of course more portable and can be palmed in one hand. the battery life is also good, but not as good as the N10.
Anyway, I basically gave my N7 to my 5 year old daughter.

I have the nexus 7 and nexus 10 and I don't know what problems your speaking of with the nexus 10 but mine works fine. The nexus 7 is a little chunky but it feels good in the hands. Both are nice tablets. The screen on the nexus 10 looks really good. There's times it lags but I think it's bc of the higher resolution

I still would say that your issues are a physical PROBLEM with your Nexus 10 - I don't see how you could have such a bad experience with it compared to many others without there being hardware issues. The battery life, especially; even the restarts. I've heard of others having restarts, but you seem to be having more issues with it than other people.
As for charging times, 5 hours is normal. The iPad charges no faster, really - the fastest charging tablets are by ASUS, 1.5-2 hours to a full charge. THOSE are good chargers. This is lower amperage, as it is a standard USB cable. The Nexus 10 also has a massive battery.
ipad charge faster and last longer .
too bad IOS ruins all
from what ive read 5 hours its with pogo cable , i get 6 with usb charger . I will not give 20$ on a plastic 50cm with 2,3 wires inside .

It is blatantly obvious from your numerous posts that you despise the Nexus 10, but that is no reason for you to make stuff up. My wife's Ipad 4, and all of my friends that have them all report over 5 hour charge times.

sorry for saying my oppinions that you dont like ..

Nexus 10 beats iPad hands down for me, only 3 downsides for me ATM:
1 it's all plastic ky, solved by nice colourful case (unfortunately lack of decent non leather cases mind you)
2 battery charge seems forever... Although I have been using quite heavily while charging which won't help charge times
3 no lovefilm Player ATM for android devices... But that's supposedly going to be fixed soon anyway
So pretty much nexus 10 kicks ass lol
probably a better bet is to wait for what google has to say at there I/O event. Many reports saying a new nexus 7 with hd display. I'll probably go for that as they are also reporting the same $200 price point with snapdragon processor.

Great tablet... but not a N10 as it blows it away, but that's comparing apples to apples, it is a great tablet but OP is asking about the next nexus tablet and the transformer doesn't compare not even compare
Had a breeze through the thread and didn't find the answer I'm looking for. Just wondered if there was anyone who had gone from the iPad to Nexus 10 and preferred the Nexus? I'm currently using an iPad 4 as my main tab, but have an itch for the N10 however don't wanna get burnt. Had numerous Android tabs in the past before giving in and getting an IPad, as at the time they were just far superior to anything in the Android sphere. My jailbroken iPad 4 is an absolute joy to use and gives me outstanding battery life, just obviously sucks for video and I am an Android lover at heart. Anyone jumped to the N10 and actually prefer it?
Regards.

Need all you Nexus 10 owners feedback...

In your opinions...
1. will the next nexus 10 jump in price like the N7 did?
2. did 4.3 for YOU make any big differrences as far as lag? and battery life?
3. is it worth buying a used N 10 right now for around 315?
Thanks guys...
1. No. If anything the price will decrease because it's Asus.
2. I bought mine 2nd hand last month for £220 and 4.3 was just out by that time so I have no experience of 4.2. I can say that 4.3 is a great experience and super smooth. Battery is about 8 hours for me.
3. TBH I would wait till next month for the announcement before buying a 2nd hand N10. Wait to see what Asus have in store. They might even drop the price of the Samsung N10 like they did with the N4.

To answer your questions:
1. Seeing as the Nexus 10 is already a $400-$500 device and most high end Android tablets usually max out around this price point I don't believe the next Nexus 10 will jump in price.
2. In my own personal experience with 4.3, the overall experience feels slightly more fluid then 4.2.2 and my battery life has also improved on 4.3.
3. For this used Nexus 10 your buying is it the 16 GB or 32 GB version? That being said the Nexus 10 is still one of the best tablets on the market and still worth the money.

1 - NFI
2 - 4.3 made a huge impact to smoothness for me. While it was always quite quick, I used to still get stuttering when scrolling webpages etc, that is mostly gone now. I think its is mainly due to the implementation of TRIM in 4.3 which helped a lot. One leftover anoyance that is still around and can happen from time to time is the reloading of the UI when closing/switching apps
3 - I think it is the best tablet out there, it is still better than anything else out there almost a year after its release
I have a bit of an addiction to having the latest model. With my phone I sell my old one and buy the new one. I think the tablet market has got a lot better for app support but don't believe tablets are there yet to upgrade once the next model is released. I will be sitting on this device for another year unless there is a significant reason to upgrade. This is a great tablet and being a nexus line looking forward to the os (kitkat 4.4)

I saw the news of the new N10 coming out but going to be manufactured by ASUS. The current N10 is manufactured by Samsung. I read of problems and issues with tablets made by ASUS. The specs on the current N10 are still awesome. Because of these, I just purchased by N10, refurbished from Walmart. It is a great tablet.

Is anyone else excited for the new Nexus 10?

So are you? I keep looking online for information to the new Nexus 10, but no one seems to care. All I can find is information related to the new Nexus 5, and although it's a great looking device, I'm gonna wait a bit to see if I want to change carrier just to get it. What really has me excited is the concept of a far more powerful Nexus 10 device.
Yet, no one seems especially interested. So am I gonna have any competition at all buying this device? If no one cares I guess it'll make it that much easier to waltz in and buy it. I even sold my old one before the new one was announced so that I could get a good price for it.
I am with you. Looking forward to it. If it ever sees the light of day.

Yup I am looking forward to it. The current Nexus 10 is good but you can tell that it has not really been optimised and it does lag. Because the new tablet will be using the 800 snapdragon (well hopefully) then it will sure be a hell lot smoother and stable.

That's what I felt about mine the whole time I had it. It was smooth... sometimes. Even with the subsequent updates it never really felt like it was "there" yet. I knew going in that it was a first gen device and that there may be problems. Perhaps they just couldn't find a CPU/GPU at the time that would handle the level of power needed. Overall I choose Android over iOS for the functionality, and wouldn't balk at a few stutters. However, there were many things that just seemed to really bother me.
Browsing the web was a complete chop fest on many of my favorite websites, most likely because the Nexus has to re-scale just about everything, every time, because of its very high resolution. Also, playing games was fun, but only til the tablet got really hot and throttled itself and the game started to slow down. Even the relatively simple game "Dungelot" had this problem. Stuttering abounded after that happened. It was other games too but that one I remember vividly.
In other words... I loved it, but I would also really love an updated version of it. One that doesn't have the problems present with the first.
Well it definitely looks like it'll be manufactured by Asus and not Samsung.
That doesn't really bother me - I came to the Nexus 10 from the Nexus 7 (first gen). Nexus 7 was awesome until 4.2 was released and it never recovered from that. It annoyed me that to get a decent experience from it I needed to use an outdated version of Android...
I sold my Nexus 7 and bought a 2nd hand N10. I do love my N10 but yeah obviously I would love an updated faster version, but for me money is an issue and I already got a great bargain for the 2nd hand N10 (for £185) (this was in July), so i wouldn't be able to afford a new N10. Same with the Nexus 5. Would freaking love one but no way I can afford it, I've got a 2nd hand HTC One X (for £145).
Yeah I agree Google need to sort out performance on android. Nexus 7 first gen was brilliant but after the 4.2 update it has been bad, and even with 4.3 with trim it is still laggy.
Nexus 10 on the other hand has got better with updates, it is just the kernel and driver which is letting it down in my opinion.

Right? Where's the new Nexus 10 spec leak? Come on, they've already pretty much shown us the whole Nexus 5. Specs, images, hell they even put it up on Google Play for a short time. I have looked through the roster of available tablets, and a new Nexus 10 is what I wanna go with, despite the absence of info. The new Note looks alright, but it also looks bloated and confusing.
Why can't the other tablet manufacturers understand that maybe the user actually wants to use some of that power for important things, not 100 background processes that slow the entire thing down. Oh sure you could root it and put a different ROM on, but why would I pay $550 for a tablet with all these special features I don't want and am going to just throw away? It's like pissing $150 down the drain.
Google needs to get on the ball with these new releases.

I'm with you. I've never been a fan of Samsung TouchWiz - it's just a bunch of unnecessary fluff as far as I'm concerned.
I purchased my current cell phone (Galaxy Nexus) from Amazon for just that reason.
Hopefully by the time the new Nexus 10 is out the Asus TF701T will be available as well - would be nice to have another choice at time of purchase!

Hope they announce it soon.
Google is out of stock on the 16 Gb version. Since I doubt these things are selling like hotcakes now, I hope this means that they have stopped resupply in anticipation of the new one launching.
Pure conjecture.
Would be nice if...
Would be nice if we had some info on it. I've got the original wifi xoom mz604 and I'll say its held up nicely and it does everything I ask it to do, but I've upgraded my phone twice since getting it and I'm ready for the nexus 10 2 (nexus 10 2013?) to drop...or just some info to drop so I can make a decision whether to wait or not.
What I don't understand about product releases is that I would think manufacturers would want to release information as early as possible so that buyers can decide whether to wait and buy their device or to go ahead and buy an available device. I'd think that if someone wants a new tablet and wants to get the newest one available (that suits them), they would research whats available or coming up and make a decision. If i'm gonna buy a tablet today, but I know the nexus 10 2 is coming out in 2 weeks. I'm more likely to wait the 2 weeks and get the newest tablet out there. If theres no info on release date and I need a tablet now, I'll just go buy whats available now instead of waiting indefinitely.
Get the release date and price out there so I can decide to wait or not. Otherwise I'll buy something else today and you'll lose my business. I'm sure there are reasons to not release the info, but as a buyer...I want to know how long I have to wait.
At any rate, I want to switch to Nexus devices...but I'm on Verizon and won't be getting a nexus phone anytime soon I bet. So at least tell me when I can get the tablet...I mean, its my birthday today and I could tell my family just to give me some cash to save up for it instead of asking for something else just to be asking for something...i.e. mom is getting me a briefcase...exciting!
Lay out the release roadmap so I know what to do...please.

HTC Nexus 10

So I'm kind of amazed there isn't a thread on this rumor yet. What better way to reenter the tablet market than with a nexus! For me, personally, this is a dream come true. I think that HTC uses the best displays of any manufacture currently and I would love to see one in a tablet. Maybe a 2k slcd4?

Considering the price of Nexus devices, I don't think HTC, if it makes the next gen Nexus 10, will use aluminum metal body. Samsung already did a good job in terms of build quality of the current Nexus 10.
Hope next gen Nexus 10 can be as light as the iPad Air.

I would take all these rumours with a pinch of salt and then add another sack of the stuff.Wasn't that long ago we were hearing various release date rumours and now we are hearing rumours of a new manufacturer.Basically Google haven't even found a supplier yet let alone a delivery date! Personally I don't think there will be a replacement hence why I bought the old nexus 10 after waiting and waiting and waiting and eventually giving up on RUMOURS of a new device coming soon.I do hope to be prooved wrong though.
I posted a comment about a future Nexus 10 when the current one ran out of stock in US. It was sometime ago, but I'd like to share how the next Nexus 10 should be for me .
(when asked what would the next Nexus 10 should have)​ For now I will keep my Nexus 10, it's still a beast device as I stated and I like to keep my high end devices for at least 2 years. But there are some things that could be upgraded ^^.
First - More storage. I bought the 32GB and I still think it's not enough. Probably a 64 or 128GB version would be amazing, as it's a media consumption device it requires storage, as not everyone can use cloud services, and a full HD movie is quite big.
Second - Add LTE option like they did with Nexus 7.
Third - Use Snapdragon 805 or Tegra K1 processor, they are true beasts, and tablets need to push more pixels, so a better graphics processor is important.
Fourth - If going with the Tegra K1, it would be an interesting (actually it's more of a dream of mine here, very hard for this to happen now) to have a 4K screen, current Nexus screen is already killer, a 4K would be a mass destruction device lol. While it's still a dream the 4K screen on it, they could make it LED at least, so the complaints of light bleeding would reduce drastically.
Fifth - Samsung, Asus, Sony or Motorola create it. Samsung sucks with software, but the software here would be Google, so it's no problem. Asus proved to be a great tablet developer with the last Nexus 7s. Sony has the most beautiful devices ever, and adding water resistance to a Nexus would be very cool. And Motorola developed Xoom, which is a great device and the godfather of Android tablets, would be great to see them developing a new one. (As rumors seems to be, this one won't be any true lol, but I have expectations that HTC can do a good job too).
Sixth - More RAM would be appreciated ^^'.
Seventh - More accessories at a better price would be of great use too.
And I think it's only that I can imagine for the next Nexus. There aren't main flaws on the current one now. Almost all the problems went away with the KitKat upgrade, and I'm happy with it .

I expect there will be a new Nexus 10 because it is out of inventory and has been for about a month.
If they were not restocking it or replacing it with a new one then why is it even listed on the play store site and why does it say check back soon?
When they no longer make or offer something it is removed from the site.
So it seems obvious that something will replace it.
IMO, the rumors of who will build it have no basis.
The sites who post thees articles get paid by the advertisers.
To get paid they need to draw people to the site.
They write one thing one day and something totally different the next, sometimes contradicting themselves.
Personally I heard Sony will build it at Dell and label it as a Samsung tablet and sell it in an HTC box and it will run Android 7.3 (nestle crunch).

Still debating a Nexus 9!

Hey so I've read up a lot on the Nexus 9 (been debating to get it since before christmas) and whenever I go to Best Buy I check it out and I'm still strongly debating getting one. I have the money for it no problem but my problem is if something better is right around the corner? I could really use a tablet, I miss having a tablet for multiple reasons every day. Since switching to Android I just can't bare pulling out an old iPad - I was glad to be out of the Apple ecosystem a good 8 or so months ago and I don't want to have anything to do with it again.
Does anyone know if a new premium Android tablet is around the corner? Is their anything better than a Nexus 9 right now? I know about the Shield Tablet but it doesn't seem to be faring any better and I want a tablet to be a tablet, not a slightly bigger than a phablet, tablet. Otherwise I would've bought a Nexus 6 instead of an S6 Edge and use it for everything.
Thanks in advance, just want to hear some opinions and get some insight!
There will ALWAYS be something better coming around the corner.

I'm worried about them unveiling a new tablet at Google I/O. This isn't a cheap tablet and if they unveil a new one a month or two after I buy a Nexus 9 I'll be insanely pissed lol. Was the Nexus 7 not announced right after Google I/O last year?
if something in the back of your head is talking you out of it.. then wait. and frankly you can pick up a windows 8.1 for less cost. that said.. there are things like using ezpdf, SW-KOTOR, or Tapatalk over the browser version of forums like this, that make it so much more appealing.. its time to break out a piece a paper and make a pro/con list.
announced, and actually being sold are two different things.. the N9 was never really announced, it was preceded by so many inaccurate rumors I became very pissed with all of the clickbait droid news sites around October of last year.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A on the way if you want to buy it, lol.

Sorry but I disagree. The idea that a newer and better product will never come around is crazy talk. The phone / tablet market is completely built around the idea of something better always coming around to get people to desire something else. I bought my Droid Turbo right after the Nexus 6 came out so I could do a side by side. It wasn't that long afterward that the G4 and S6 were out. Something is always coming around the corner.

I'd get a Windows 8.1 device for cheap if I knew it would actually work well enough for me. I have a good laptop but it weighs a ton so I only ever use it for work as a "portable desktop." I'm just tired of sitting down and wanting to browse the web, watch Youtube/Netflix etc on a tiny phone screen but I'm not sure if that justifies a cost of almost $500 for the 16GB version of the Nexus 9.

I just don't want a new Nexus tablet coming out that has less problems for around the same price with a revised magic cover or something within a few months. There isn't always something better around the corner (for me) because I bought an S6 Edge knowing it was exactly what I want until a better phone of it's caliber comes out. Yes, the G4 is coming out in June but to me it isn't nearly as good as my S6.
There's always something new coming out but not necessarily better for your tastes. I'm just trying to avoid that as a $500 tablet is a pretty decent purchase and I don't want it to be a bad one.
picked up a Toshiba 10" tablet with win 8.1. it does the basics, and then some.. can't play new games, but it is an Atom chip, didn't expect to.
for YouTube, Netflix, VLC. it works very good. the one I got only has 1G of ram, look around, you can find a much higher spec win 8.1 at the same price googleHTC want for the N9
is the N9 and its being left behind by its makers making me regret my purchase? yeah, kinda.

If they introduce a new one then you sell it and take a $50 loss. So you got to play around with the 9 for four months for $50 look at it that way.

But this time, better devices have been there long before. N9 is absolutely low end in every way, except price. [emoji17]

I do thank my N9 for one thing. I've learned my next tablet will also be a 4:3. I'd love the N9 a lot more if it didn't have an nVidia chip in it. Hopefully Google learns a lesson from this whole thing.
There are so many other issues, the back, the display, the display flickering, the sharp edges, that make holding the device really uncomfortable, etc. The n9 is just an expensive disaster. I would not buy it again, but think about getting a cheap Galaxy tab 3 and installing cyanogenmod.
