What we like about Google Nexus 10 (2GB + 32GB)

  • Stunning super-high-resolution (2560x1600) display with 300 PPI, surpassing contemporary competitors
  • Fast and smooth performance powered by a dual-core Exynos 5250 processor and 2GB RAM
  • Excellent value for money, significantly cheaper than equivalent iPad models at launch
  • Clean 'Stock Android' experience with regular, direct updates from Google
  • Comfortable, lightweight design with a grippy, rubberised back for better handling
  • Front-facing stereo speakers provide clear and immersive audio for media
  • Solid battery life that comfortably lasts through a full day of mixed use

What we don't like about Google Nexus 10 (2GB + 32GB)

  • Significant lack of high-quality apps specifically optimised for 10-inch Android tablets
  • No expandable storage via microSD card slot, limiting media capacity
  • Painfully slow charging times with the included charger
  • Plastic build lacks the premium 'flair' or high-end feel of metal-bodied competitors
  • Occasional stability issues, including reports of random reboots and app crashes
  • Muted colours and lower contrast levels compared to some rival tablet displays
  • No 3G or 4G cellular connectivity options available

Verdict

The Google Nexus 10 (2GB + 32GB) is a high-performance tablet co-developed by Google and Samsung, featuring a standout 10.1-inch PLS LCD display with a massive 2560x1600 resolution (300 ppi) protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Under the hood, it is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core Samsung Exynos 5250 processor paired with a quad-core Mali-T604 GPU and a substantial 9,000mAh battery. Main characteristics include front-facing stereo speakers, dual NFC sensors, a micro-HDMI port, and the ability to run stock Android with multi-user support. Its primary pros are the incredibly sharp, industry-leading display for its time, smooth overall performance, and a comfortable, lightweight design with a grippy rubberised back. However, notable cons include the lack of a microSD slot for storage expansion, long charging times via micro-USB, and a historical shortage of third-party apps specifically optimised for its large, high-resolution screen.
