Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 First Look!

2012-10-29
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've been 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 in the Nexus 4 and I can 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 that display is 1280 by 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 by 720 which is perfect for watching videos and playing games at that 16 by 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 be 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 gonna go with a 16 gig version and also has NFC and a wireless charging dock which looks really cool inspired by gets the Palm Pilots 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 ok 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 that's for the a cake version you 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 six hundred and fifty dollars unlocked and the iPhone 5 unlocked right now is about eight hundred dollars so 300 bucks unlocked good stuff Google if you're on t-mobile you'll be able to get this guy for $1.99 on contract so all this is 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 8 gigabyte version that's discontinued and you'll be able to get the 16 gigabyte version now for it and $1.99 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+ 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 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 out with these but I'm really glad that Google and Samsung partnered together to put this in the latest Nexus tablet take 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 9000 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 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 resti photosphere 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 would 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 gotta hand it to these three new devices the 32 gig HSPA+ 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 the hurricane right outside but right now I'm big in the Nexus 10 and I'm ready to see it on video officially from Google
