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

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: Big screens are nice. But sometimes the extra real estate isn't worth the lack of portability. If tablets are considered mobile devices, they should be easy to take with you, right?That's the idea behind a new class of small tablets with screens measuring...
Having spent a month with the Nexus 7 it has definitely held up to my standards offering something for everyone. Google and Asus did a fantastic job in designing and building this tablet and, with Jelly Bean 4.2, everything works together smoothly. There...
Real leather, Good choice of style and colour, Good protection, Flexible stand positions
Doesn't cover ports, Clips going to scruff your bezel,
Some may think it’s a bit of overkill to buy a case that’s over one third of the cost of a 16GB Nexus. In some ways it probably is; however, for the price, you are getting a beautiful piece of handcrafted leather. The case looks really nice, though ...

The Nexus 7's razor-sharp full-HD screen, silky smooth performance, long battery life, meager weight, and affordable price make it the best tablet value on the market
The back is missing the soft grippy texture of the original, screen colors lack accuracy, and there's no microSD support. Android 4.3 has few useful interface improvements
With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer.
