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
UK users miss out on some of the Google Play features
Published: 2012-07-17, Author: Chris , review by: reviewed.com
At the $200 price point, the Google Nexus 7 has a lot to offer that isn't even met by many $500+ tablets. With impressive hardware and fantastic software, the budget option from Google does not seem like a bargain-bin tablet at all, as it outperforms most...
It may not outperform the iPad, but then it's not really meant to. As a seven-inch tablet the Nexus 7 offers fast performance, the very latest Android Jelly Bean OS (and no doubt prompt upgrades too), plus a solid, reliable experience in use that will ...

Abstract: The Google Nexus 7 is Google’s first foray into the tablet market with an own-branded device. It won’t take on the Apple iPad, but it isn’t designed to. With a comparatively affordable price tag, great workmanship and loads of power, the Nexus 7 could hel...
No memory expansion options, lacks physical connections, UK users miss out on some of the Google Play features
We do love the Nexus 7, and heartily recommend it. The only real problems are the limited internal memory, lack of SD slot and slightly limited UK entertainment content. ...
Admittedly, the Nexus 7 needs a 3G version for true data portability, an absence which might deter some. Likewise, it can't match the media choices of Apple or Amazon and it won’t give the massive battery life of an e-ink reader either. Even so, the ...
Abstract: Like a bolt out of the blue, Google Nexus 7 has arrived to shake up the tablet market and provide us with an affordable, powerful 7" option. If you've been holding out for the right device, and you're a fan of the Android Operating System, this could be t...
Amazing value for money, Very fast, Great design, Solid build quality
No expandable memory, No video output
Simply put, the Nexus 7 delivers the best balance of price and performance you'll find in the tablet market right now, so it easily walks away with a Best Buy award. But how does the Nexus 7 stack up to Apple's ubiquitous tablet? The New Apple iPad is a ...
Still no Google Music in UK, Non-expandable memory, Native video support limited
The Google Nexus 7 tablet is one of the best tech bargains of the year. This 7 inch Android tablet is priced so aggressively that every low-cost tablet maker must be terrified. Just as important, it doesn't look or feel cheap either, thanks to the powerfu...
Unlike Samsung's original 7in Galaxy Tab, which was too expensive and tried to do too many things – such integrate voice calling – Asus has kept in simple with the Nexus 7. The core features in the Nexus 7 such as the display, processing power and so...
