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

But its solid

More so than an iPad
And feels great when held thanks to its curved edges and textured b

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
Light, sturdy, and attractive, Speedy performance, Great entry-level price, Sharp, high-res display, Long battery life, Very latest Android OS

This Tegra 3 CPU-based Android slate performs exceptionally well, and it has long battery life and a great-looking display. It's our new top compact slate, in either the $249 16GB version we tested or its $199 8GB brother. Read More…...
Abstract: For two plus years people could accurately call me an iPad fanboy, but I'm going to try and go without using my iPad in favor of the Google Nexus 7 Tablet.While I am a fan of Apple products, I'm also an Android user. I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Ga...
Abstract: The $199 Google Nexus 7 ships with just 8GB of storage. That's not enough to satisfy many Android users, especially those that download media or play HD video games. Nexus 7 buyers should opt for the $249 version with 16GB if they can afford the extra $50...
Abstract: The Google's Nexus 7′s best feature is its price tag. Starting at just $199, the Nexus 7 is in impulse-buy territory and the cheapest way to get a device running the latest version of Android.The Nexus 7 is Google's attempt to stir things up in the tablet...

The Nexus 7 is an excellent value and you'd be hard pressed to find another $200 gadget of better value.If you buy the Nexus 7 expecting gnu iPad you'll be disappointed, but $200 out the door is a great price for a mobile device with no monthly service fe...

It's obvious that the pros far outweigh the cons for this budget-friendly yet high-end tablet. The sheer amount of power you get for the price is game-changing. Google and ASUS have managed to bring top-tier performance and features to the masses, with ve...
Abstract: The Nexus 7 wasn't a complete surprise when Google unveiled it at I/O two weeks ago, but that doesn't mean it didn't impress. At $199, this tablet sports specs that most “high-end” tablets can't compete with. Sure, Google and Asus had to cut a few corners...
Being such a large proponent of the tablet sector, I have sort of earned the reputation of being "The Tablet Guy". The ultraportable, keyboardless slabs have consumed me and have become integrated into every corner of my daily life. And of all the tablets...
Battery life is superb, Performance is snappy and smooth, Solid body that's comfortable to hold, Android 4.1 adds some nice touches and refinements to 4.0, Finally, a competent, reasonably priced 7-inch Android tablet. Finally
Developers may ignore the 7-inch form factor, graphics-wise, for some time. Many apps may be a bit ugly
Low cost, great hardware build, fast and smooth, latest OS version
No landscape home screen access, missing camera app, limited storage
As strange as it might sound, my favorite Android tablet has long been an HP TouchPad running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (CyanogenMod 9). Until now, at least. While I still had hoped for more from Google with its first Nexus tablet, I am at least ...
