Google and Samsung working on super high res 10" Nexus tablet

The biggest problem for Android 10" tablets, especially ones with high resolution, is lack of adapted apps.

With 7" that is less visible as phone apps can be used reasonably well and N7 with its strong sales with Play Store vouchers attracted developers to make apps for it.

Google obviously can't use the same strategy for 10" tablets as this may destroy the market so it's very interesting to see what they are going to do.

I agree with this. I had the Xoom for a year and recently got the TF700T and the lacks that support high resolution screens in a bummer.

yea but did you not just see the other article on here that said google was crackin down on devs to make better and more adaptable apps?

33. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 09 Oct 2012, 00:18 2 2

This is too little, this will help those developers with little experience and nothing more.

To attract developers to make apps for 10" androids Google must create the market for them. This can be done by offering free vouchers like they did with N7.

i think you're being a little impatient man, just give things more time...Google is not as "unaware" as you think they are

I don't say Google is unaware, they certainly are. But what they are going to do is totally different matter.

Previously Google had the policy : make once use everywhere. But this policy has failed for tablets and works only for phones.

It looks like Google has a change of heart now but it's still unclear how far will they go.

Nexus 10

Go Google. But why it's Samsung. Go with Asus is better.

53. remixfa posted on 09 Oct 2012, 09:25 3 3

because samsung is the biggest vendor, and they make their own high end parts which keeps costs in line.

Samsung also has the power of name recognition to non-geeks.

As long as the cost isnt crazy, this is a tablet to keep an eye on.

Yeah, Samsung is a more well known name than Asus, so that could have a positive affect. I just can't stop thinking about the Exynos 5 though... I know it's improbable they would use it on this Nexus 10, it's just a wish I'd like to hold on to. I want to see the benchmarks.

They did funky math. I did the calculations and came up with 298.89 ppi.

Just out of curiosity, what formula does one use to calculate pixel density?

23. cmikeh2 posted on 08 Oct 2012, 23:36 5 0

You use Pythagorean's Theorem (a^2+b^2 = c^2) to find out the length of the diagonal and then divide by screen size. In this instance the math is:

√(2560^2 + 1600^2)/10.1

Its not, mystery Samsung nexus 299ppi > new iPad 264ppi

24. MichaelHeller posted on 08 Oct 2012, 23:38 4 0

Sorry, typo! It's 299

46. SonyXperiaNexus posted on 09 Oct 2012, 04:07 1 0

If only they did this with sony. Imagine a 11 inch tablet with a 1080p HD Bravia Display with 300+ ppi and bravia engine. Not to mention WhiteMagic for brightness and floating touch and also a camera with an XMOR R sensor.Add a sexy design and timescape UI and you have knockout device. But you still need to optimize apps though

My own comment makes me drool.

298.89 ppi is what I got.

Not unless the screen is smaller

13. denney posted on 08 Oct 2012, 22:57 1 0

Resolution is higher. Pixel density is lower. The way he wrote the sentence is kind of confusing.

16. denney posted on 08 Oct 2012, 23:08 1 0

Granted, I got a PPI of about 299 in my calcuation....

more specifically:

298.89841210476368511114963572666....

Where's the math at PA???

Talk about nonsense
Haha, I couldn't resist

What was so non sensible about this post? You must be one of those people who feel US is the only place in the world.

N7 is built for Play Store, so they will not bring N7 to where there's no Play Store I guess.

22. No_Nonsense posted on 08 Oct 2012, 23:32 1 0

Or maybe they could start with a play store here. The one which would sell devices like n7, gnex, etc

With China closing the doors for Nexus 7 (for the fear of their death of cheap cost + low quality tablets like Ainol), Google can't ignore India and other asian countries now...

Plz elaborate

45. SonyXperiaNexus posted on 09 Oct 2012, 03:54 1 0

'do it'- lol. anyway, A tablet with bravia engine and 300ppi would be awesome.
