Nexus 10 is a tablet that deserves a lot of consideration when deciding on a Christmas purchase. Not only has it set a new limit in screen definition, but it has also managed to offer a high-end device at a reasonable price. Its finish is less refined than that of the great rival, the iPad 4, but we can say that in case of failure or accident, Nexus 10 is really easy to repair.
CNET colleagues explain it to us based on the teardown that PowerbookMedic he did, being the first to see the guts of the new Google device.
There are several aspects to highlight. First of all, the tablet is really easy to open. Their 5 Phillips screws do not give any access problem and, with the help of a suction cup attached to the screen, We remove its back cover. In it we can already see the authorship of Samsung on this device as well as in a good number of pieces that we will find there once inside.
From the beginning something stands out and it is that hardly there is no glue between the piecesThis is something that the latest Apple products cannot say and that really makes the job of technicians difficult as it is difficult to remove and even more so to replace.
The lack of glue allows us to disassemble the Nexus 10 parts very easily, each one coming out on its own side. However, when we go to the screen, we see that we cannot separate the screen and touch panel since they are fused together. This saves space, but means that we cannot repair them separately.
As to battery connector comes rubberized instead of plastic, making it much more flexible when we are going to disconnect it and thus avoid breakage or damage. This makes changing the battery easier and safer.
