Google officially unveils the Samsung Nexus 10 tablet

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

The cat's out of the bag and the Google Nexus 10 manufactured by Samsung is now official.

Undoubtedly, the most prominent feature of the slate is its 10.1" display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. This makes for a pixel density of 300ppi, beating (at least on paper) Apple iPad 3's 9.7 inch display with 1536 x 2048 resolution and 264 ppi pixel density.
Under the hood the Nexus 10 packs Samsung's Exynos 5 chipset with a two Cortex-A15 cores running at 1.7GHz, a quad-core Mali T-604 GPU and 2GB of RAM. We already found out that the Exynos 5 is a beast of a chip in benchmarks, so we have no doubt it'll absolutely fly with the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which the slate is running.

I like how Nexus devices are sold for less, especially this one has a nice screen and specs.

What good is a 2560 x 1600 resolution on a 10.1" display?

It is to produce a high pixel density per inch. Higher pixel density per inch means what you view on the screen will be less pixelated. My laptop has a resolution of 1366*768 on a 14" screen so this creates a PPI of about 80 according to what I remember. My tablet has a PPI of 170, small text looks much clearer on my tablet than on my laptop. But still I have to zoom into a webpage to be able to read very small text on my tablet.

Maybe you think this one is an overkill, but look at the HTC J Butterfly. It is a 5 " screen with 1080p, resulting in about 440PPI. Now it is really an overkill.
