The Nexus 10 Tablet may be old news to some, but to many it is still one of the top tablets on the market. The Nexus 10 from Samsung and Google features an ultra-clear 10-inch screen with a 2560-by-1600 high-resolution display. The Dual core 1700 MHz ARM Cortex-A15 still provides plenty of power for running apps, web surfing and gaming alike. The best part of the Nexus 10 is that it is a Nexus device. This means the Android KitKat operating system comes right out of the box, plus all future Android updates will hit the Nexus 10 as soon as they are released. For a pure Google experience on a beautiful 10-inch screen, look no further than the Nexus 10 from Samsung. $399 at Walmart.

3. Amazon Kindle Fire

1. Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 – Bet For: Adventure Seekers

Sony is back with the Xperia Tablet Z2 after last year’s Tablet Z saw some pretty robust sales around the globe. The waterproof and dustproof Z2 is packed with a 10.1-inch FHD (full high definition) TRILUMINOS display with Live Color LED. The tablet will be powered by the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset (2.3GHz quad-core processor and Adreno 330 graphics) and sport a hefty 3GB of RAM.
When it comes to imaging. we won’t see the new 20.7 sensor that we get on the Xperia Z1/Z1s as Sony has elected to use an 8.1 MP Exmor RS rear camera and 2.2 MP front camera. Battery life should be on par with last year’s Xperia Tablet Z, as Sony will use the same 6,000mAh battery. The Xperia Tablet Z2 will be available in both black and white at the end of this month. Expected starting price is $499 from Sony USA.
