The Nexus 7's bigger brother

Next up for Nexus, Google’s Nexus 10




Topping off Google’s Holiday 2012 Nexus lineup is the Nexus 10, the younger (but much larger) brother to the much moved Nexus 7 – a 10″ tablet produced by Samsung running the newest version of Android, Android 4.2. This bad boy’s got a 10″ 2560 x 1600 display – what Apple would classify as “Retina” running at 300 ppi, pretty much on par with Apple’s iPad 3/4. It comes standard with 16GB of storage (with a 32GB option available) and without any data capabilities,

Packed inside is a ARM Cortex-A15 SoC with 2GB of RAM, complete with a quad-core GPU – we know based off of the iPad (3) that you need quite the beefy GPU to power these many pixels on a tablet, so that’s no surprise. It comes with the standard sort of 5MP camera that’s common on tablets, but again we don’t expect many people to be doing a lot of shooting on such a large device. It’s also got a 1.9MP front facing camera that should be pretty good for Skype and the such. Powering it all is a 9,000mAh capacity battery which Google says is good for 9-hours of use. It of course runs Google’s just announced version of Android, Android 4.2.

The Nexus 10 goes on sale for $399 for the 16GB option or $499 for the 32GB, undercutting the Retina iPad (4) by $100. It’ll be available exclusively on Google’s Play Store starting November 13th.
