[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orate.cl:
I have both.

Nexus 10:

PROS:

- You can surf the web like your computer does 100% all the time. (ex: you don't need tapatalk for this forum, I use it in the nexus 7).

- Everysingle Google app it's better IMO. They use the Tablet version, while the Nexus 7 uses modified smartphone versions.

- Screen it's out of this world and has better sensitivity (read below).

- This probably nobody said it before: Nexus 7 lacks good sensitivity in shorter distances. I really like to draw in my tablet, I have a Dagi Stylus and it works like a charm in both tablets. But when I try to draw like 1cm. lines in the nexus 7 (or simply details) it doesn't work, you gotta always zoom in, which some times in unpleasant. If you don't zoom in it draws nothing or like a pixel so it's like there is a longer detection threshold or something (can be the software also, idk). All this in "Sketchbook PRO" app.

- Sketchbook PRO lags a lot in the Nexus 7 and seems not really optimized at least, IDK (it gets worse as you add more layers and more detail to my image). In the other hand it flies in my Nexus 10 even drawing pixels (x2) it seems fluid and the stylus works great. (You can't change the canvas size in sketchbook PRO, it's always 2560x1504 I think). It's way easier to work in tiny distances when I bought my Nexus 10 it was one of the first things I tried since it was so much fail in the Nexus 7. See in the Sketch I did the morning it arrived without too much efford without having to Zoom in and zoom out to draw some random lines of grass to add some noise to the ground.

- Battery seems similar to me (I usually don't play anything in my tablets).

- Sound it WAY WAY WAY better, you can feel the sounds coming in diferent directions.

- Whatever they said I love all the design all around.

- Reading documents it's 100% reliable in the Nexus 10 and sometimes feels short in the Nexus 7 as not all of your doucments are formatted for the screen, you may not be able to read wide PDF's in the Nexus 7 confortably. Nexus 10 works for everything. Which for me was one the most importan features of the tablet.

- Overall seems faster in the OS than the Nexus 7 and faster in this games also: Final fantasy III, Chaos rings.

- You got a rear camera (which I'll never use).

- You a rear camera LED (which I'll frequently use as a light), with a switch widget.

CONS:

- It's heavier and after one hour of holding it you can feel it. Like your hands feel really tired.

- It's wider so you must use it like a tray (90% of the time you will hold it as a tray). Sucks.

- It's bigger and I feel discouraged to take it with me everywhere. I don't think I would take it to my work.

- Some smartphone optimized apps feels like "decent" in the Nexus 7 in the Nexus 10 they look horrible. And there's several of them.

- Some apps crash the tablet. There's several of them also.

- Charging is slow.

- As you read with the lights off, the Nexus 10 and his Bigger screen throws a sillion more light into your eyes, result: Eyes more tired.

- No Tegra 3 optimized games.

- No $20 bucks for apps.

Nexus 7:

PROS:

- Light as a feather, I never got tired of holding it in my hand. Super confortable.

- Perfect wide. There's so many positions to hold it.

- Size and weight feels perfect for carrying around, sometime in the future I may just get a Nokia 3310 and a Nexus 7 with 3g.

- Smartphone apps don't feel that weird.

- Had just a couple of crashes in 2 months. One being after drwaing like 2 hours in Sketchbook, I was sooo pissed.

- Charging is decent.

- Everygame android game in earth should work on this Tegra 3 baby.

- Cheap as hell. Feels like I'm robbing the store.

- For this price it's more premium than the most premium.

- Screen it's really good, you can barely barely see the pixels here.

- It's stylish and cool.

- Size and price it's the perfect balanced between everything. You sacrifice a little functionality for moviility, etc. 10" tablets can do this as well if you dare.

- When I bought it I got $20 bucks for google play apps (idk if that exist anymore).

CONS:

- Cannot 100% replace your laptop web surfing. Screen falls short sometimes.

- Bad screen sensitivity (or maybe bad optimized app, read above).

- Batterys seems similar to me.

- Average / just decent sound. (maybe bad sometimes)

- Several of them came with screen defects (mine included), it's not really a big problem, but WTF.

- As I said, Google apps use a slighly smartphone modified apps for the nexus 7, in the other hand, for the Nexus 10 they use the tablet app.

- Reading bad optimized documents can be a pain in the a** (usually pdf's with wide white colums at the sides which are really really common), with infinite zooming panning, etcetera. If your document has no ilustrations you can work around it, but with them no.

Overall I use more the Nexus 10. Nexus 7 seems excellent for short travels and stuff like that etcetera. But for me in day to day use at home. No doubt. I preffer the big one.
