there are a few things that made me give the Nexus 10 time in a dresser drawer forgotten over the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 that replaced it. but the most important ones:
1. app compatibility on the Nexus 10 is appalling (Real Racing 3 runs in a horridly low resolution, zero anti-aliasing, ugly look, Real Racing 2 is listed as not compatible, as is a lot of other games, including NBA Jam, and Deer Hunter Challenge)
2. the rubberized back is easy to get dirty, hard to clean.
3. the device is much heavier than any other 10" tablet i own, including the Note 10.1
4. the lack of transparent bars makes it less immersive, takes up valuable screen space, and apps have to resize during load to accommodate them, which may have led to the aforementioned lack of compatibility in #1. the device lags a lot as of 4.4.4, there's zero ART, zero features that KitKat offers that it ends up looking like holo dark Android 4.1 with white notification icons. essentially every key feature i hoped for was stripped out of the Nexus 10; hoping lollipop changes this, and, if so, i might reconsider using it again.
5. the battery life is horrible. about 6 hours until it's dead. the Note 10.1 sports the exact same screen resolution, but gets at least 8 hours of screen-on time. Nexus 10 recharge times are horribly slow. takes at least 12 hours to recharge it from 30%.
