Nexus 10 - still worth it?
My original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is well past its best now, so I've been looking at possible new 10" tablets.
The Nexus 10 dates back to October 2012 so is old in technology terms, but the specs still seem good when compared to the current Samsung Galaxy Tab (http://www.phonearena.com/phones/com...ones/7870,7551) I also prefer plain Android as found on the Nexus devices, rather than the modified versions. At £289 is the Nexus 10 still worth the price? Or are there any other 10" pure Android tablets around? |

I bought a Nook HD 9", and I'm really pleased with it.
Comes with Ice-cream Sandwich and so runs Flash Player OK. http://www.very.co.uk/nook-hd-16gb-9...questid=950113 3 year extended warranty, including accident damage, is only 29 pounds. Also, 10% off if you open a Very account. I've got a Nexus 7.2, but prefer the Nook. One of the best buys around at the moment. |

My Nexus 10 16GB is one year old next month, and as it cost £319 I would say that the Nexus 10 32GB @ £289 is a bargain.
There is not a tablet on the market with a superior screen resolution. Read this article of 2014 where Nexus 10 still comes second in the top 20 tablets. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/test-cent...-tablets-2014/ |

I've had my Nexus 10 just about a year now & it's still my favourite gadget. The 4k screen is lovely & so are the front facing speakers. I do virtually all my day to day tech activities on it.

I've been holding out for a 2nd generation Nexus 10 for months now but it doesn't look as if it is ever going to happen. I love my original Nexus 7 but sometimes it would be nice to have a larger screen.

Update on rumours on the 2014 Nexus 10
http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile...0-2013-1194159 There are several websites which just keep recycling speculation every few days. It will be made by HTC, then it's being done by LG then it's Motorola, then back again. Most of it is without any foundation and is just done as clickbait. |

The Samsung Note 10.1 looks good but I'm not really a fan of TouchWiz after using original Android. If only they did a Google Play Edition! |

I also wish Samsung would make their product range easier to understand as they just have too many models with similar names. |

I bit the bullet and ordered one, it still seems to have good reviews and specs despite its age.
Knowing my luck they'll announce a new model any time now ![]() Google are still trying to charge £389 for the 32GB, but it's widely available for £289 on Amazon, Co-op Electricals, Simply Electronics and others.. |

I've got my Nexus 10 now and am very happy so far
I've been playing Asphalt 8 just to test it out, as that's a very demanding game. It runs smoothly, with no lag and the graphics look awesome. The screen itself is excellent too and great for HD videos.The Nexus 10 may be quite old now but it still seems to be a very capable tablet and worth the £289 (32GB). |

10% off doesn't apply to "audio, gaming, computers and tablets", if you read the terms & conditions.
I had a 30 pound off voucher, and that woked ok when I bought my tablet. Give them a ring if it's not working, I feel sure they will give you the new customer discount. |
