Google Nexus 10 review

More serious, though, is the fact that this high-resolution screen saps the battery. When playing our test video on loop at mid brightness, the tablet lasted only 8h 34m, which is almost two hours less than the Nexus 7 and a long way behind the iPad’s 11 hours plus. It’s still enough to watch four films in a row, though.

The slightly below-par battery life, and the fact there’s no 3G (or 4G) version of the Nexus 10, are its only real drawbacks, and it’s hard to argue with the fact the tablet is £80 cheaper than the equivalent iPad. The Nexus 10 really is a bargain, and anyone looking for a good-value alternative to the iPad should be sorely tempted.

The Nexus 10 has an amazing screen and excellent performance, while the stock version of Android is still the best around. Build quality isn’t up there with the iPad, but it does a lot better than the procession of sub-par, flimsy Android tablets currently flooding the marketplace. If you’re after an excellent 10in Android tablet and don’t want to break the bank then the Nexus 10 is a brilliant choice.
