Samsung made the tablet with the highest screen resolution ever but the screen is not Samsung's - Google Nexus 10


Even Sandy can't stop Google from unveiling to the world the tablet with the highest screen resolution. Google and Samsung announced the Nexus 10, a 10-incher tablet that runs on the latest and newest version of Android, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. According to the official Android Blog, the "Nexus 10 is the highest resolution tablet on the planet with a 10.055" display at 2560-by-1600 (300ppi)". And guess what, it is! I don't like to do this, seriously I don't, but to give you an idea, think of the iPad 3 or 4 which both sport LG's IPS display technology (Retina display, in Apple's language), has a screen resolution of 2048x1536 and a pixel density of 264ppi. The Nexus 10 has the higher resolution, not only does it sport a bigger screen, it also has the higher pixel density compared to the iPad, at 300ppi.




The Nexus 10 is set to be available in November 13 in the US, the UK, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada, and Japan. The pricing is as follows (in the US) $399 for the 16GB version and $499 for the.

But to clear things, the display being used on this tablet is surely not from Samsung's factories. The device sports an IPS display which means it's made by LG or by Asus (but I'm leaning more on LG) so yeah. The two Korean arch enemies finally made something epic with the Nexus 10. The Nexus 10 also sports Samsung's new Exynos 5250 dual-core processor.
