Although the new nexus 7 be a newcomer and the Nexus 10 appeared in October last year, both are interesting options for lovers of stock Android who are looking for a tablet. One manufactured by Asus and another for Samsung, but both for Google, are leading devices each within its format. We compare these two tablets by analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.
Given the enormous impact that the arrival of the first Nexus 7 had back in July of last year, it was thought that a similar but 10-inch tablet could become the iPad Killer definitive, however, the worst enemy of the Nexus 10 It was Google and not Apple's tablet. Skipping the holiday season due to stock issues, this kit made by Samsung it managed to earn the nickname of "the best tablet (that nobody buys)". But ... is it still the best tablet?
Designer
The two devices feature similar design lines, in fact, the new rear case of the Nexus 7 It has brought them a little closer in terms of touch and support. Also noteworthy is the absence of physical buttons on the front of both devices, something already identifying the Nexus.
However, and saving the question of size, there are other important differences in the design of the two teams. Above all, we must highlight Asus' effort to polish the lines on your 7-inch tablet. The evolution of the last generation to this one in terms of size and thickness indicates this. The Nexus 10 For its part, it presents a large frame, which seeks more to offer a good point of support for the user's hand than a stylized appearance.
Screen
Both tablets represent the most advanced on the market at the moment. The Nexus 10 screen was presented with 2560 × 1600 pixels leaving the full HD standard far behind and forcing other 10-inch tablet manufacturers to up the ante. For its part, the Nexus 7 is the first compact tablet with resolution Full HD. This compact format, we must say, has so far had lower category panels.
Either way, the new Nexus 7 offers a density of 323 dpi and the Nexus 10 of 298 dpi, yes, in 10,1 inches.
Unlimited
Again, the two tablets are once again at the forefront within their respective ranges. The device manufactured by Samsung has a 5GHz dual-core Exyos 1,7 and 2GB of RAM. The Asus tablet, meanwhile, mounts a Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core 1,5GHZ and it also has 2GB of RAM. In the benchmarks, however el Nexus 7 something has been shown above of his older brother.
Autonomy
The new Nexus 7 It offers, according to Google, an autonomy of 9 hours of use playing video in HD resolution, and 10 of browsing through WiFi, figures that have been achieved even by reducing the battery capacity compared to its previous generation, which now has a charge from 3.950 mAh.
El Nexus 10 with Android 4.3 it will probably also gain some autonomy, however, the high consumption of the device so far seemed to be its Achilles heel, despite having a fairly powerful carrying capacity, 9.000 mAh.
Price and conclusions
The price is always a highlight within the Nexus range and the two tablets are cheaper than any other device with similar features to which we can compare them. The Nexus 7 has risen a bit in price compared to the previous year, but the news is well worth it. This tablet costs 230 dollars / euros. The Nexus 10 for its part remains in the 400 Euros since its launch.
The Nexus 7 is a new generation device and offers perhaps a higher performance, more portability and a more careful design. The Nexus 10 features the best screen in the industry, and possibly no mobile device can beat you at playing a movie. In addition, it is still an extremely powerful team. Both tablets will make children enjoy Android stock fans equally with its layer-free interface, without crapware and with direct updates from Google. The ultimate differential factor may be the size and price and both are at the expense of the needs and possibilities of the consumer.
