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

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
– Very affordable, – Highpowered quadcore device, – Latest Android features with Jelly Bean, – Easily rootable, highly customizable, – Amazing battery life
– Limited storage options of 8 GB and 16 GB only, – No rearfacing camera, – No cellular connection (3G), – Phone UI on a tablet, – Arguably less tabletoptimized apps on Android
Very attractive price point, Superb overall performance, Great design and handling
Lack of memory card slot, Lack of mobile data connectivity, No rearfacing camera

The Google Nexus 7 is currently selling for AED 1,200 for an 8GB unit which is a bit on the higher side considering that same unit sells for US$200 (AED 740.) At US$200, the Nexus 7 is a steal if you are ok with a small 7” sized tablet and is, without d...

To get a gauge of the Nexus 7's standing among the other 7-inch tablets, we compared it against the duo of Samsung tablets, the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, and the Huawei MediaPad. Of course not to forget is the customary comparison with t...
So here's the deal. I own both a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and a Retina iPad 3, so I consider myself both an iOS user and an Android user, and thus relatively unbiased.By happy chance, I was traveling in the US when both the iPad Mini and the 32GB Nexus 7 (...
