1 Display

Google nexus was released on the end of October this year which get the 10.055 display screen, and the resolution up to 2560×1600(which you can play 1080P video easily) and The number of pixels per inch reaches to 299 ppi which is much more than iPad 4. It has almost reached the standard of the retina screen. This will enable to display the video in a more delicate way. That's what a lot Android tablet manufacturers are doing in the coming days. For the display screen is another focus of competition after the competition in the dual core processors.



When Apple released its New iPad, it was regarded as the best performing screen, even iPad 2 is under this standard.iPad 4 take the same display screen like the New iPad, which gets the 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS TFT screen,resolution 2048×1536,the number of pixels per inch reaches to 264 ppi. iPad 4 still gets 4:3 screen aspect ratio,this the important feature of Apple iPad.

In addition to the configuration and performance that everyone concern,the workmanship and design are also the important factor which the consumer consider to buy a product or not.From the appearance of Nexus 4 and iPad 4, we can fell that they get totally different design style.

Nexus 10 is very thin,mainly due to the relatively light materials.With a very strongly plastic feel and painted matte texture coating in the back,the beauty and touch feel may be less than the iPad 4, but more scratch-resistant.


From the look,iPad 4 is a copy of the new iPad. And thick body fell show the high design level.iPad 4 gets the aluminum shell. If not protected well, it will be scratched after a long time use.

As for a new iPad, iPad 4 made some changes based on the former. It didn't get a new name like iPad S/L due to it gets new 1.4 GHz dual core A6X processor and four core PowerVR SGX 554MP4 graphics processor, with which other iPad products are not equipped with A6X processor perform twice better than A5X, so do the display performance, but the power consumption has been effectively controlled.
