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

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
Abstract: The Google Nexus 7 , Amazon Kindle Fire HD and Barnes & Noble Nook HD are cheap tablets that all offer incredible value. This is because each tablet is sold as a loss-leader, designed to either encourage uptake of the Android platform or content sales in ...

In all, I would argue at £199, the Nexus 7 is a bargain. The screen quality is superb, the device does not feel fragile and supports excellent audio playback. The CPU outperforms both the Kindle Fire and iPad mini and for the price you are getting 1gb of ...
Great screen, Android 4.2, good battery life, sensible price,
No expandable memory
The Google Nexus 7 makes a good place for itself in the increasingly crowded seven-inch tablet market. With pressure from not just the usuals (Apple) but also hyped-up ebooks like the Kindle and Nook, it delivers a high-quality spec with the very lates...
Abstract: Apple's compact tablet is powerful, beautifully designed and comes with access to the largest range of tablet-specific apps of any operating system. It is also more expensive than its rivals. As with the other tablets, there are films, television and m...
Abstract: The Nexus 7 was something of a game changer in the tablet world when it was first released in the UK back in July. Being the first official Google Android tablet and targeting the affordable, shrunk down 7in tablet space, the Nexus 7 became an immediat...
Abstract: In another example of the world’s worst kept secret, Apple unveiled its iPad Mini on Tuesday, finally giving in to the urge to enter the 7in tablet arena and follow Google and Amazon's blazing trails.Apple doesn’t normally like following suit and playi...

The 7-inch market has been criminally under-served since the launch of the original Samsung Galaxy Tab (Kindle Fire and Fire HD excepted), so being able to choose something that isn't a a new iPad was warmly welcomed when it was announced - and it's been...

The Nexus 7, standard-bearer for the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, is the best example of a 7" tablet the market has. Some may bemoan the limited memory, just as others may pledge wholehearted allegiance to Google's ecosystem (à la Apple fanati...
