Samsung and Google introduce Nexus 10
Powerful 10” Tablet with the World’s Highest Resolution Display

Mountain View, CA—October 29, 2012— The newest tablet from Google and Samsung’s joint efforts, Nexus 10, is a powerful device that marries Samsung’s best-in-class hardware, the latest version of Android—4.2 Jelly Bean, and the best of Google. With the world’s highest resolution tablet display, all new multi-user support, immersive HD content and the best Google apps - Nexus 10 has something for everyone.

Nexus 10 packs powerful components inside a surprisingly lean, soft-to-the-touch frame – measuring an incredibly thin 8.9 mm and weighing just 603 grams, it’s the perfect couch or coffee table companion. Nexus 10 was created in partnership with Samsung and comes with a blazing fast dual-core A15 processor and advanced MIMO WiFi, giving you web browsing speeds up to 4x faster than normal WiFi.* With the 1.9MP front-facing camera, you’ll look great as you video chat with up to nine friends at once with Google+ Hangouts, and so will your friends on the dazzling 10" display.

Nexus 10 was made for everyone to enjoy. Just turn on your tablet and tap your photo to sign in to your own home screen, apps, email, photos and storage. All new multi-user support lets each user have their own separate space, and save their own individual high scores on games, all on the same tablet. With the new Daydream mode on Nexus 10 you can display useful or delightful information on your tablet when it's charging.

$399...not that bad of a price IMO. $499 would have been too much to me.

Did I miss it or does this Nexus also lack a MicroSD card slot? Why any manufacturer would do that is simply beyond my comprehension.

Did I miss it or does every Nexus device lack a MicroSD card slot?

Um...yeah....every Nexus lacks an SD card slot.

Looks like another hit, although having a 5mp camera on these huge tablets is really a waste and just increases the price. Wondering what the percentage of people who actually use a tablet cam is.

No microSD?

That was a deal breaker for me until I got a Nexus 7 and the pigtail that allows it to use any USB device. Now I can easily add as much memory as necessary and even change devices for the occasion. Movies run great right off the thumb drive!

 

[Escobar]

I want this bad, but I don't know if I should since I have a nexus 7.

 

[Redsnk95]

As bad as I want this I am going to stick with my Xoom for a little longer. It is still considered a GED device so it is still receiving the latest OTA updates. Until that stops and new games stop playing on it I will stick with it.
