    Does the Nexus 10 have a SD card slot?
    lorenza.johnson
    over 1 year ago
    One downside for some users is that the Nexus 10 will not have an SD card slot, so the storage is what it is.

    Is the Nexus 10 still good?
    keneth
    over 1 year ago
    To this end, the Google Nexus 10 excels. The striking display, built from Corning's Gorilla Glass 2, boasts a gaudy 2,560 by 1,600-pixel, 10.1-inch display. The tablet's ultra-high resolution and 300 pixels per inch are the best on the market today, even beating out the latest offering from Apple.

    Why is my Nexus 10 so slow?
    ursula
    over 1 year ago
    Close background apps on a Nexus Many apps run behind the scenes, even when not in use. This can cause your Nexus to run slowly. In Android Marshmallow, you can check which apps are running under Settings > Memory > Memory used by apps (in previous versions tap Settings > Apps then the Running tab).

The screen is to die for, but how does the rest of the Nexus 10 match up? Is it the tablet to buy, or does the Nexus 7 still hold that honor? Read the review and see what you think.

The Nexus 10 has clearly taken a lesson from the iPad and put great focus into the overall feel of the tablet, no sharp edges or corners, and curves galore.
