Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 First Look!”.
Hey what’s up guys mkbhd here and today is a huge day for google and android fans alike. The new nexus family is finally official. Today, we’re going to be taking a look at everything you need to know about the nexus 4, the nexus 7 and the nexus 10.. We’Ll start with the phone, the nexus 4 and i like to think of the nexus 4 as basically a successor to the galaxy nexus, it’s very similar in terms of how it looks on the front anyway, on the front you have that curved look.
You have the very clean front, no branding on it, but on the back, it’s a little bit simpler and actually like the back. It has a much more understated. Camera has a larger megapixel camera which we’ll get to in a second.
But overall the hardware looks similar to the galaxy nexus, so i like to think of it as kind of like a galaxy nexus. 2.. On the front, the display is 1280×768.
But if you take out the bottom row of pixels when you’re using android the software buttons you’ll find that the usable area is 1280×720, which is perfect for watching videos and playing games at that 16×9 resolution. It is an ips display and it also has gorilla glass. 2 on the front, which is sweet, we love, gorilla, glass and inside is a qualcomm snapdragon s4 pretty much the fastest chip out there today, which will power through benchmarks and will make your phone blazing fast.
Now they sealed in the battery. So on the back, you’re able to have a 2100 milliamp hour battery, which is a lot larger than the galaxy nexus, and you also have an 8 megapixel camera and an led flash – and this is all sealed in so there’s no expandable storage. But you do obviously have that it’s 9.1 millimeters thin, so it’s a lot thinner actually than the galaxy nexus was, and it also has a flat back.
So there’s less rocking. When you press the sides of the phone, there is an 8 and a 16 gigabyte version. Most of us are probably gon na, go with the 16 gig version, and it also has nfc and a wireless charging dock which looks really cool inspired by.
I guess the palm wireless charging dock from a while back, but you just basically tap the phone and leave it there and it’ll charge without any wires. You can pick the phone off whenever you want to. There won’t be a verizon version this time around on lte, but that’s okay, because i’m leaving verizon anyway. After all, this crap with the galaxy note 2 button, but it starts 300 for the unlocked version, which is an insanely competitive price. Google has the price down really well on this one, and as for the 8 gig version, you’ll be able to get the 16 gig version for a little bit more. To give you a bit of perspective, the galaxy s3 note started about 650 unlocked and the iphone 5 unlocked right now is about 800.
So 300 bucks unlocked good stuff. Google, if you’re on t-mobile you’ll be able to get this guy for 199 on contract. So all this is uh really competitive.
Pricing. Next up is the nexus 7.. We already know the nexus 7.
It’S a pretty familiar product, but they’re dropping the eight gigabyte version. That’S discontinued and you’ll be able to get the 16 gigabyte version now for 199 and you can also get the 32 gig version, which is brand new for 250.. If you want a 300 nexus 7, you can get a 32 gig 3g unlocked hspa plus nexus 7., but we got to go to my favorite of the bunch, and that is the brand new nexus 10, which is a 10 inch tablet, as you might have guessed With a 2560 by 1600 display, this 30 inch monitor right here is 2560 by 1600, and that is a really high resolution. It’S the pixel density is over 300. It is higher than the new ipad 3 and ipad 4.. It is higher than any other tablet or any other macbook pro retina or any other screen that you use with two hands.
It is that good of a display – i don’t know where samsung found these or came up with these, but i’m really glad that google and samsung partner together to put this in the latest nexus tablet make my money take all of it. On top of all that, the nexus 7 comes in a 16 gigabyte version for 400 or a 32 gigabyte version for 500, and they have a 9 000 milliamp hour battery in a really thin package. It’S 630 grams, which is the same weight as a transformer prime 50 grams, less than the ipad much thinner. I want it really really soon.
Take my money. Google take my money please now the verge also showed the nexus 10. With this neat flip case, it kind of flips over the back and that’s not in the play store yet. But i’m assuming we’ll see this soon in multiple colors, since there was only a red one shown in the video uh, hopefully we’ll see like a black one. Graphite, one blue all that kind of stuff, but we’ll keep an eye out for that and i’ll keep you guys updated. But, most importantly, all of these new products are launching with android 4.2 jelly bean, with some notable improvements. We’Re gon na see photo sphere which allows you to take not just regular panorama photos but photos that you can stitch together from all different types of angles: up down left and right. Hence the name photosphere and stitch them all, together into a giant 360 degree.
Panorama of where you’re standing and that’s why it’s pretty much the neatest new feature of any sort of camera software i’ve seen out there photosphere is pretty awesome in android 4.2 there’s. Also. The google now improvements, android 4.2 gmail with pinch to zoom. Finally, there is a quick settings panel in the notification bar i’ll be covering all this in an upcoming video very very soon, with the just the all improvements of android 4.2. So if you want to check that out be sure to subscribe and you’ll be able to see when that comes out very soon, android 4.2 is awesome in its own right, but i got ta hand it to these three new devices, the 32 gig hspa plus nexus 7, the brand new nexus 4 and the nexus 10 2560 by 1600 tablet pretty awesome. Let me guys, let me know what your favorite device that was announced today is obviously there was no event today because of the hurricane right outside, but uh right now, i’m digging the nexus 10 and i’m ready to see it on video officially from google, highlighting all The new features, but again, like i said, stay tuned for that android 4.2.
