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

The Nexus 7 may not have the same aesthetic desirability as Apple's iPad, but it is every bit as good a tablet. Google packs in enough power to deliver a seamless user experience, which is backed up by its gorgeous display and solid battery life. Andro...
Abstract: Google has unveiled its own-branded Android tablet, the ASUS-manufactured Google Nexus 7. The Nexus tablet has a smaller 7in screen than the new iPad but costs significantly less, starting at just $249. Can it steal sales away from Apple's juggernaut?Goog...
Magic Jelly Bean You unlock the Nexus 7 by swiping in any direction on the lockscreen (except upwards, which we'll come to later), and instead of the kind of reskins we've come to expect from HTC and Samsung, this is as clean as Android gets. That's a g...

The Nexus 7 isn’t a budget tablet in anything but price. It’s fast, has a perfectly good screen, and it’s built to a quality that we’ve rarely seen with such an inexpensive device. Android’s Jelly Bean update brings its own advancements, and for the first time...
ASUS and Google don't really need to try hard to make you like, or love, the Nexus 7; it will do it for you. ASUS' Nexus 7 looks great, feels great, and performs even better. I know I may be talking it up here, but even if it were $399, I still think...
Buttery smooth navigation throughout the OS, Powerful gaming & browsing performance, Tablet optimised Google applications, Lovely design and ergonomics, Ample battery life
Limited internal storage, No MicroSD expansion slot, Some older apps don't scale perfectly, Display calibration, No 3G or 4G model (yet)
Right now the Nexus 7 is the best Android tablet. Period. Other tablets do some things better. No other Android tablet does what you need it to do as well as the Nexus 7. It does it better, faster and smoother. It does it in a package that is easier to us...
Fast, Slim, Ergonomic design, Cheap, Too good to be true
No 3G radio, Screen responsiveness at times
Yes, yes, yes, yes. I've said it before and I'll say it again – the Nexus 7 is a tablet that I would recommend to almost anyone. It convinced me that tablets have a place in my life and that Windows 8 may not necessarily be the death of Android tablets. I...
A few days after we received our Google Nexus 7 tablet as a review unit from ASUS, we realised something. We had started thinking of the unit as our new primary tablet device and had set up all kinds of systems on it that we wouldn't usually bother doing...
