Lovers of “pure android"Those who are thinking of getting a tablet have at their disposal two interesting models marketed by Google, one manufactured by Asus and the other by Samsung. Both are extremely powerful and solvent teams, each within its own specific size. We bring you a detailed video comparison in which we can see directly the format offered by both and what their strengths are.
Before we begin we must remember that the new Nexus 7 It is a device from 2013, recently introduced and that has the experience of its previous generation, while the Nexus 10 was presented almost 10 months ago, therefore, some details will decide the balance in favor of the former, but the two devices have a quality / price ratio really exceptional.
Exterior appearance
Obviously, there is a clear difference in size between the two teams and through the video we can see it directly. The tablet manufactured by Asus is 7 inches and the Samsung, 10 inches. Despite the fact that lately we are seeing teams that go up to 8 inches, these two formats are the most common in the sector.
In the size of the frameworks we also find noticeable differences. The Nexus 10 has not spared in this area and has preferred to offer enough space to hold the device, while the Nexus 7 has done just the opposite, cutting in that area to make it easier to hold with one hand.
In terms of weight, the video specifies that the Nexus 10 weighs roughly twice as much as its little brother. Actually the difference is 603 grams against 290 grams.
Screen
In the video it is impossible to fully appreciate the differences between the new Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10 in terms of resolution, since YouTube compresses the videos and takes away some of the clarity. Even so, today, the tablet manufactured by Samsung is one of the devices with the highest resolution on the market, 2560 × 1600, almost 300 dpi, while the Asus tablet reaches the standard Full HD but he goes as far as his older brother, 1920 × 1200, 323 dpi.
However, the screen of each of the two tablets may be better than the other depending on the aspects that seem most important to us in each of the tasks we perform. For example, when viewing photos, the image offered by the Nexus 10 is more definedHowever, the new Nexus 7 has more shine.
Unlimited
The Nexus 7 processor is a Snapdragon S4 Pro 1,5 GHz quad-core, while the Nexus 10 is a Exynos 5250 dual-core at 1,7 GHz. As we have already mentioned, more cores does not necessarily have to translate into better performance. Indeed, the Samsung tablet has a magnificent internal architecture and is very responsive.
The big difference between both teams is found in the GPU, where the tablet manufactured by Asus stands out from its rival. In the video we can see for ourselves with the images of the Batman game. The size of the new Nexus 7 is also more appropriate and manageable for running games.
Cameras
The only substantial difference in "numerical" terms is that the Nexus 10 has flash and the Nexus 7 does not. Otherwise, they are the same, 5 Mpx each.
However, the video ensures that the camera of the new Nexus 7 offers better real performance. Responds better when capturing the image and collects more details.
Autonomy
Despite the fact that the Nexus 10 has a larger battery, 9.000 mAh, the Nexus 7 lasts slightly longer, with 3.950 mAhAt least that's what the person recording the video says, based on personal experience. The truth is that it does not surprise us. The tablet manufactured by Samsung has more inches and more pixels to move, so it consumes more energy, it is the price we must pay for a screen of such enormous quality.
Price
The price of the Nexus is always an extremely advantageous factor, in return, availability is a serious problem. The new nexus 7 it will cost 229 Euros when it arrives in Europe, that is, theoretically on September 28 or 29. The truth is that experience tells us that Google Play they do not tend to manage the sales of their devices very well in the first weeks, and that the stock is usually low. It will be necessary to see if this time things work better. Otherwise, this 7-inch tablet offers by far the best value for money on the market for its format.
We can say little more or less of the Nexus 10, which can be achieved by 399 Euros, a highly recommended price taking into account what other equipment of similar size and features cost.
