UPDATE: Two separate reports say Google itself has called the screen "True RGB Real Stripe PLS", and Samsung also lists PLS in one of its official specs listings, thus the display part has been altered to reflect those specs.
If Google aimed to disturb Microsoft's big Windows Phone 8 launch event yesterday, the hurricane Sandy-induced cancellation of its own Nexus fiesta didn't prevent it from indeed doing so. It dumped the revelations about Android 4.2, Nexus 4, 7 and 10 minutes before the WP8 launch, making us all ADD kids go nuts for a good while where to focus first.
One release stood out, though, and this is Google's Nexus 10
tablet. While we knew everything about the Nexus 4, the mythical
Samsung tablet with record resolution was more of a mystery. Apparently a
direct reply to what Apple and Microsoft came up with in the tablet
space going into the new holiday shopping season, Google saved its best
for last - a 10" tablet built by Samsung with class-beating resolution
and processor at a 25% discount to the competitors. Let's take a tour of the specs to gauge what can we expect from this tiger.
