Taking advantage of the launch of the new Nexus 10, from Google we bring you this comparison between the two greatest exponents of the manufacturer Samsung in the tablet sector. Both are high-end tablets and are among the best options for any user looking among the most powerful devices on the market, however, there are notable differences between these two products from the Korean giant, let's see them!
Integrated
The designs of both tablets stand out for their lightness. Both are very on par in this section: the tablet of Google It weighs 600 grams, while its measurements are 26,2 x 18 cm and its thickness is 8,9 mm. The Notes 10.1 it weighs slightly more, 603 grams and measures 26,4 x 17,7 cm, by 8,9 millimeters thick. As we can see the differences in terms of size and weight are minimal; however, the Galaxy Note It allows you to choose between two colors (black and white) and incorporates a stylus for handling the device, which is a fundamental asset.
Screen
In this section, the difference is enormous. Although the size is almost identical, 10 and 10.1 inches, the Galaxy Note 10.1 It is not characterized by mounting a high resolution screen, on the contrary, it is surprising that Samsung has opted for such a low resolution in such a solid bet on everything else, and that is that the Note only achieves a density of 149 pixels per inch: 1280 x 800. Meanwhile, Nexus 10 It has the highest density seen so far in a device of this type: 298 PPI, 2560 x 1600, which is double the data of its rival in this comparison. I said, there is no color.
Camera
Things look more even here: both tablets have a 5 MP rear camera and a 1,9 MP front camera. If anything, the function 'photo sphere'Of Nexus 10, but that is something that depends on the operating system and not the hardware itself, so it would not be strange if it ended up reaching the Notes 10.1 in any of its updates.
Processor and RAM
Despite the fact that the Galaxy Note 10.1 stands out over many models in this field, as it mounts a processor Exynos 4212 quad-core operating at 1,4 GHz, the Nexus 10 engine is even more advanced, un Exynos 5250 dual core working a 1,7 GHz. The RAM in both computers is the same, 2GB.
Storage capacity
Again both systems get a tie, presenting 16GB and 32GB models. While is true that Nexus it offers the same capacity at a lower price, as we will see a little later, and it is very possible that it will also end up adding to its range a model with 64GB that we have already seen announced in Korea. On the other hand, the capacity in the Galaxy Note It is expandable, as it supports microSD cards.
Battery
Although it has been said that Nexus 10 does not have a battery so extremely good as other of its specifications, in pure data Nexus 10 is somewhat above the Samsung Galaxy Note: 9.000 mAh against 7.000 mAh. We will have to see the real performance in this section, but most likely it reflects the difference in one way or another.
Connectivity
While Nexus 10 it only brings WiFi connection, the Notes 10.1 It has models with WiFi + 3G, which gives it an advantage in this area. Both have Bluetooth 4.0 and micro USB ports, but the Google tablet also has an HDMI port, an important detail that its rival lacks.
Operating System
Here the battle is more contested than it might seem. Well it is true that Nexus 10 has the version of Android 4.2, which will reveal some interesting news such as the aforementioned function 'photo sphere', multi-user support or gesture keyboards, plus a scanner to detect malware in the applications that we are going to install. But, on the other hand, and although the users of the Galaxy Note still pending the update from Android 4.0 to 4.1 Jelly Bean, the environment TouchWiz It seems very interesting because it implements multitasking to the point of allowing you to work with two windows at the same time as it could be done on a computer.
Price
The fact of belonging to the range of Google devices, makes it possible for the price of Nexus 10 (399 euros 16GB and 499 euros 32GB) is something to the Galaxy Note 10.1 (499 euros 16GB and 549 euros 32GB both only WiFi), despite the fact that the former usually has better components (processor, screen, battery, etc.). If we are guided only by the technical data, then, Nexus 10 It is a more powerful team in almost all sections, as well as notably cheaper. Nevertheless, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 incorporates some details that can make it a more efficient machine when performing certain tasks.
