iPad 4 is heavier and more expensive and more eye strain obviously LOL.

Why is that?

"lol iPad 4"
just sayin'

As much as I prefer any android phones over iphone or WPs, Android ecosystem for tablet is still not as neat as the iPad.

And IMO costumization is a lot more fun on smaller screens!

What if I told you , the RGB matrix in the Nexus 10 kills your iPad 3.5

You mean Nexus 10 > iPad 4, right?

Trolling much?
"These design decisions made the Nexus 10 thinner and lighter than the aluminum 4th generation iPad, despite the slightly larger display."

"The Nexus 10 is the first tablet to appear with a Cortex-A15 processor, which is the next generation of the ARM-based architecture that we have in current phones and tablets. Apple's A6 and Snapdragon's Krait cores might use some instruction sets from Cortex-A15, but the Samsung Exynos 5250 is the real deal, and its leaked benchmarks come to prove it."

"...10" screen Samsung had that can surpass the new iPad's "Resolutionary" screen in terms of pixel density..."

The only way the iPad4 wins is in terms of ecosystem, I will give it that.

Who really cares about "ecosystem"? All of the apps I use on my Nexus 7 work very well.

And I would, ANY DAY, rather turn on my Android tablet and see a bunch of widgets giving me the information that I want rather than a bunch of do-nothing icons that I need to click on to get any info at all.

Widgets FTW!

You took the words from my mouth dude

The more I look at Nexus 10 the more I like it, stunning design. This this is for comfortable holding and warm and not cold aluminum as some other tablets.

9,000 mAH battery and no claims of battery life. Something fishy is going on here.
Rumor has it that Cortex A15s were built for servers and they are power-inefficient. That's why ARM pushed for big.LITTLE configurations. So, I suspect them. This would also explain why they are only clocked at 1.7 GHz as Cortex A15s are supposed to reach upto 2.5 GHz.

Another power-inefficient component could be the Super AMOLED screen. But considering the Tab 7.7's battery life, I assume the screen is not an issue.

"Another power-inefficient component could be the Super AMOLED screen."

Well, I'd say that depends on how you use it. As I understand, AMOLED is as efficient as you could ask for when it's displaying lots of colors or blacks. However, turn on white and it becomes a power hog, right? I guess that people who browse a lot will notice a hit to the battery life, considering most websites have white backgrounds, but those who use this tablet for media consumption (movies, games, etc) will not see such drains because those tend towards darker and more colorful displays.

Another reason they are probably clocking it at 1.7Ghz when it's capable of 2.5Ghz(from what you said) is so they can use the same cpu for the next 3-5 releases and slowly turn it up and maybe add some RAM in the future. None of these companies will spill out 100% of what they are capable with right out of the gate. Then if a competitor happens to release something better they will be rushing in R&D and pushing a early release with a host of issues. They always have to keep s**t on the back burner that is tried true and tested. So at any moment they can drop a bomb on the competition. Not to mention the whole other reason for money, they can slowly upgrade it over time and make 10x the cash on the same cpu + gpu combo slowly bumping it up rather then jump dumping it on full bore.

I don't believe PA is right on the Pentile screen. Both Engadget and TheVerge reported it having the PLS-LCD display.

...Why?

@ noim1 & you will kneel in front of Tim cook. But lets get back to talking about the Nexus 10.

22. leftheodo posted on 30 Oct 2012, 09:14 7 1

Samsung? You mean the best display manufacturer in the world?

24. andro. posted on 30 Oct 2012, 09:33 6 0

Kronic you do realise that the new ipad display is also made by Samsung,right?

No sharp made it, idiotandro

36. Obie-Wan posted on 30 Oct 2012, 14:08 0 0

If i'm not mistaken, The New iPad indeed use PLS display which made by Samsung.

The iPad Mini, use Sharp's IGZO display.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Wrong!
Nexus 10 has a PLS screen, or how Google likes to call it "True RGB Real Stripe PLS"!
It is RGB!

The article said it *MIGHT* be Pentile. Plus, it's already been confirmed to have a PLS display which uses RGB.

And even if it was Pentile, it still has 36 more ppi than the iPad. Pentile doesn't really matter when it's at a much higher resolution than the competition's RGB display. Nobody would've complained about Pentile on the Galaxy S3 if it was at 348 ppi because it wouldn't have been noticeable from the One X's 312 ppi, it would've actually been better.

Nice try to bash Samsung/Google, but you weren't even close to succeeding.
