Up to now the majority of Android tablets have gotten a reputation for being
Shall we say a little cheap and nasty. There are some great Android tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
But there are some bad
Shoddily-built tablets. Not the Nexus 7. It may be small
But its solid
Actually feels portable
More so than an iPad
And feels great when held thanks to its curved edges and textured b

The editors didn't like
Lacks a rear-facing camera
No 3G option - Wi-Fi only
Design
I found this device to be a pleasure to hold. Nexus 7 is 10.45mm thick and 198.5 x 120 overall
So it's very slender and compact. I like the grippy (non-slip) back
Which causes the tablet to
No microSD card slot
No SIM card support (WiFi only)
Google Chrome seems to be lacking
Not as good as the iPad you own
Or the iPhone
Or we'd guess the upcoming Apple 7inch tablet
But if you own none of the above it's a good option
Nonexpandable memory
No HDMI output
No dedicated multimedia player
Some will be put out by the lack of a rearfacing camera
Google Maps Navigation's offline function still has room for improvement
The Nexus 7 will be able to take advantage of cloud storage solutions such as Google Drive
But the lack of microSD card storage will irk some. Thankfully those opting for the 16GB version will have more than enough memory before resorting to cloud-based storage. Like the iPad there is a lack of Flash
Meaning some web pages will not show up as they are meant to
And some apps. However such issue
No rear camera
No 3G
No SD card slot to expand memory
Weak IPS display contrast
Limited storage options
Too few Android tablet apps
Some content hard to read
No memory expansion options
Lacks physical connections
UK users miss out on some of the Google Play features

Excellent build for the human hand; light and comfortable to hold for hours, It's the Google tablet, so first to market with the latest Android OS updates, Quick, very capable for all media use, from reading books to hardcore gaming, Excellent price, Very
…even if most applications don't make use of it, Minimal storage space and no expandable memory, Mediocre display; good enough for daily use, not great for watching videos
I admire both Google and ASUS for producing a tablet with the pretense that the Nexus 7 was developed under: a high-quality, low-cost device to mass produce for the market that meets most user requirements and is, most importantly, small and light. In tha...

Abstract: Google Nexus 7 is the most famous tablet of the moment, that's for sure, a fact proved by both the discussions it causes and also by its sales, that are bound to have hit some millions by now. Google predicted it would move 8 million units this year alone...
Abstract: Once believed to be impossible feat, we’re now in an era where decent tablets can be bought for as low as $200. As we look back on how it all unfolded, the chain of events first kicked off with the Amazon Kindle Fire last year, and most recently, Goog...
Abstract: A new member of the Nexus family, the Nexus 7 tablet was announced as a premium device at a very affordable price point. As an added bonus, the new Jelly Bean OS should bring not-before-seen user experience in the Google world, while Asus as a manufact...

Abstract: Google's first Nexus-branded tablet is a compelling device offered at an aggressive price point — a combination that could make the Nexus 7 a fierce competitor to Amazon's Kindle lineup, though it won't likely have much of an effect on Apple's current, la...
Abstract: Finally we got Nexus 7 in the office and testing has just started, but we already have few impressions. Package is very minimalistic, tablet, power adapter and Quick Start Manual is all you get. It’s obvious that no unnecessary expenses were allowed. T...
After I bought the Nexus 7, I read quite a few reviews and user reactions to the tablet from around the internet – just to see if they lined up with my experience. Interestingly, they all said nearly the same thing: the Nexus 7 is not just a good Androi...
It clearly outperforms the Kindle Fire as it features a faster processor and full Android 4.1 operating system. Google+ integration is definitely a nice tool that can make your life easier. The battery life is also good, close to 10 hours, so it is enough...

I'm not qualified to definitively say this is best Android tablet ever, because having only touched this one, it would be a rather small sample size. I do feel like it's a fantastic device though, and I'll definately be buying one after this one is prised...
