Nexus 10, LG Nexus 4 & Android 4.2 Jelly Bean First Look! (with Hands On Video)

2012-10-30
hey whats up guys its marques from the mkbhd channel with a video for the tod today channel so no you're on the right channel you're not seeing things but today is one of the most important days of the year for google every year around the same time in winter they introduce the next version of android and this year today there's a hurricane outside so they canceled the event but they announced and publish their new products anyway today they announced three new products the nexus for the nexus 7 and the nexus 10 so these are the three new products that are launching as the flagship devices for android 4.2 which is still jellybean it's not key lime pie or anything but 4.2 is launching to all three of these new devices and have some neat improvements one thing it has is a quick settings toggle in the notification tray so if you want to switch your Wi-Fi or your brightness or your data on and off little quick things like that you can swipe down the notification bar with two fingers to access it or you can swipe down and tap the notification tray and that'll be able to give you all your quick settings android 4.2 also has some google now improvements and google now is in the Play Store so if you have a jellybean device right now you can grab it but basically it introduces integration with gmail so you'll be able to look through your gmail messages and if you have say a hotel confirmation or a flight number in there it'll be able to give you a card for when those things are relevant so if you fly to a new city and its seizing your gmail that you have a hotel reservation it'll go ahead and show you the card and your reservation status it's pretty neat stuff so the nexus 4 is the first device that it's being launched with and it's the phone it is a 4.7 inch 1280 by 768 display IPS display with Gorilla Glass 2 on the front and it looks very very similar strikingly similar in fact to the Nexus thick from Samsung the Galaxy Nexus it has the same clean front the same general design but it's more flat on the back because it's not a curved glass display now it's a sealed back so there's no expandable storage and there's an eight gig and a 16 gig version but it's sealed to give you a nine point one millimeter chassis so it's pretty thin and it's flat and it also gives you an eight megapixel camera on the back with LED flash and a 2100 milliamp hour battery and powering all this is two gigs of ram and a Snapdragon s4 pro which as we all know is pretty much the fastest ship out there it's going to be powering this guy with Android 4.2 and project butter it's going to be really fast there isn't going to be any LTE version of the nexus 4 so if you're looking forward getting the next Nexus on verizon it's not happening this year there is no Nexus 4 on verizon but if you're looking forward to getting it unlocked or on any other gsm or hspa+ carrier you are all set you can grab one for 300 bucks in the Play Store for the eight gig version or if you want 16 gigs you can get that for a hundred dollars extra the next step up in the lineup is the nexus 7 and we're already kind of familiar with this it's a tablet 7 inch tablet we've seen it for a while now 1280 by 800 it's more of their mid range price and lower end tablet well they're officially dropping the 8 gigabyte version of the nexus 7 so you can get for two hundred dollars a 16 gig Nexus 7 and the now 32 gig Nexus 7 is being introduced to film at two hundred fifty dollar price tag and you can also get an hspa+ 3g version of the nexus 7 so if you want an unlocked 32 gig 3g hspa+ nexus 7 that's 300 bucks that's pretty cheap by itself in the Play Store and that's going to be available very soon as well and last but certainly not least is the Samsung Nexus 10 so LG partnered with Google to make the nexus for a sous partnered with Google to make the Nexus 7 and now the Nexus 10 is with Samsung and it is rocking a 2560 by 1600 10-inch display that is magnificent it seems like this is pretty much the most powerful tablet you can get out there including the specs so it's rocking a new Samsung Exynos processor it's a dual-core chip at 1.5 gigahertz and according to google it's the only chip they could find that could power this many pixels at once it also has two gigs of RAM it also has 4.2 jellybean just like we said and it's really really thin and it's less than 700 grams so it's a very light tablet as well as a 5 megapixel camera on the back and I don't usually condone taking pictures with tablets but what's neat is it has front-facing speakers so watching videos and consuming media youtube videos movies and stuff on airplanes whatever you're doing with the speakers on this tablet they're going to be front-facing instead of the usual back facing which is really smart and this is an awesome tablet also media consuming experience with that incredibly high resolution displays 300 ppi which is the same resolution as a 30 inch display behind me and the same as the 13-inch retina MacBook Pro it's crazy high and it's one of the most beautiful products out that Google's ever made so since there is no actual Google event today because of the hurricane we weren't able to see most of the features of Android 4.2 jellybean demoed on video because Google usually does great demos of those things but there are some new things that we already know are going to be implemented so for example Android 4.2 s new gmail which finally has pinch-to-zoom we talked about the quick settings panel and Google now improvements now it also appears that google chrome is the new default browser so there's no browser and going to the market to get chrome chrome comes pre-installed just like on the Nexus 7 and has this really neat feature called photosphere which is more than just panorama but you can basically start by taking a picture and then slowly tilting around and taking a spherical photo of all your surroundings so it's way more than panorama it can take you know 20 30 megapixel photos using the 8 megapixel camera on the back of the Nexus 4 and basically stitches them all together to create a really good looking portrait of what's around you and all this retains its buttery smoothness of course with project butter and jelly bean and overall looks like it's going to be pretty awesome OS update and I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how many devices this gets pushed out to because we all know that's not going to be every device but hopefully as many as possible either way if you're looking forward to a full review of Android 4.2 jelly bean you can check out the mkbhd channel it's youtube.com slash mkbhd and i'll be uploading a video of that pretty shortly on all the literally every single feature of android 4.2 but until then this is ben mkbhd you can check out the galaxy note 2 or iphone 5 giveaway that tldtoday and I are kind of collaborating on and outside of that thanks for watching and I'll talk to you
