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

Phablet user interface, Limited internal storage
Battery LifeMuch of the Nexus 7's internal space is consumed by the 16 Wh battery and it is certainly big enough to power the tablet for a generous amount of time.Regardless of the high-end chipset and HD display the battery is good for four to seven hour...

So the Google Nexus 7. Prior to experiencing the joys of Google's first tablet, I had a lot of scepticism that Android powered tablets could ever compete against the Apple iPad. Most past Android tabs have suffered from either low specs, laggy performance...

The Nexus 7 currently runs Jellybean/Android 4.1 and this means we have the latest version of the OS, newer even than is available on the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S3 or the Transformer Infinity. ASUS and Google give us 5 home screens as standard with...

We were quite charmed by the ASUS Nexus 7. ASUS and Google have created a tablet that is outstanding in terms of bang for the buck. The tablet is made of high-quality components, even if they're not top-of-the-line, and the number of connectors will pro...
Incredible price, lightweight but solid build, fast, fluid OS, text is sharp, video detailed, decent sound
Some gaps in app offering, especially tablet-specific apps, some features are work in progress
Android tablets have so far struggled to make a dent in the iPad's popularity. Google's Nexus 7 changes that. The smaller size is interesting but it's the smaller price tag that will ultimately make the most difference. £159 is an incredibly competitive p...

Abstract: Google has released a new Android-based tablet called the Google Nexus 7 which is making a few waves at the moment. Our friends on PC Advisor picked up an early unit, and we thought it best to take a look. The iPad has seen off a fair amount of competi...
Cheap, cheap, cheap, not terrible, bodes well for the rumoured iPad 7inch
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
The Google Nexus 7 is a good alternative to paying for an iPad. It's not as good as an iPad 2, and certainly not as good as a new iPad (third-generation) but you can't really discount the £159 price tag as a factor. I think the key point would be to say “...
