Clare got her (refurbished) Nexus 10 tablet back in September 2016. I suppose two years or thereabouts is the expected lifetime of a tablet. In fact over the last twelve months it's developed a common Nexus 10 problem: from a full charge the battery runs down rapidly and after a couple of hours - despite ~50% charge remaining - the tablet shuts down. She has ended up using the device in tethered mode, largely undermining the intended experience.

So today we make a new start with Huawei's M3, a device which I chose based on its solid battery life and fingerprint security. It's also pretty fast - which mainly buys you future-proofing.

The Nexus 10 - which I was prepared to junk - has migrated to her bedside.
