So by this logic the Nexus 10 is a fail because the processor is a 1.7 dual-core whereas the first nexus 7 is a 1.2 quad-core? Personally a 1.7 dual-core paired with 2GB of RAM performs a lot better than the 1.2 quad-core with 1GB of RAM; not too mention the Nexus 10 is at 1600p vs 800p resolution on the Nexus 7. The 720p 4.7" screen is being pushed by the same GPU found in the HTCONE, S4, and the new Nexus 7 all with much higher resolutions at 1080p,1080p, and 1200p. If your opinion is opposed, then it is like saying the evoLTE's screen just wasn't clear enough for you. I think the point of this device is also all the additional chips that are running nearly 100% of the time such as the additional motion and audio chips for the "camera activation shake" and the "Ok Google Now". I have a feeling if these features are successful we will begin to see them integrated into future Nexus devices and in possible future android versions such as 5.0 which will ultimately be rolled into HTC, LG, and Samsung. However, it is a fail if it is indeed not a tri-band device. On a personal gripe, I wish that all future phones have the dual front facing speakers like the HTCONE, I have been since speakers should be facing the front since the HTC Touch Pro 2 since it looked like it already had them which it did not.
