Should have front-facing speakers. At first the Nexus 9's speakers seemed dangerously close to the edge
But my palms actually didn't block them they way they block the bottom-mounted stereo speakers on an iPad Air. They ar

No expandable storage
Slower boot time
Lack of a microSD card slot
Lack of innovation in design and aesthetics
Priced higher than previously expected
Nexus devices are supposed to show off the perfect mesh of stock Android and thoughtfully designed hardware
But the Nexus 9 puts Android's big-screen shortcomings front and center. I hate

Lacks fine detail in video
Music performance is poor
No microSD card slot
Uncompetitive at this price
Design could be better
Only 2GB of RAM

Lack of apps supporting 64-bit processor on Android

Screen has some small issues
Android 5.0 still needs some tweaks

Abstract: The Google Nexus 9 is the latest first-party tablet from the search giant, and it's the first slate to come packing Android 5.0 Lollipop too. Starting at £319, the Nexus 9 is a premium effort from Google and HTC, but have they succeeded in creating the ul...

4:3 aspect ratio works well, Android 5.0 Lollipop, Fast performance, Strong battery life
Lacks fine detail in video, Music performance is poor, No microSD card slot, Uncompetitive at this price, Design could be better
All this comes together to leave us feeling rather underwhelmed by the Nexus 9. Its screen size might be appealing for its mid-size approach, and its inclusion of Lollipop will be a draw for pure Android fans. But when it comes to performance, the Nexus 9...

The Google HTC Nexus 9 provides great performance with an exterior design that is just okay. The fact that it runs on the new Android 5.0 operating system is a definite plus and will appeal to most Android fans. The screen and speakers are about average b...

Subpar battery life, The odd hiccup while navigating, Video game graphics need some serious optimisation, Finish on the back shell, Mediocre rear camera
The Nexus 9 has an absolutely gorgeous display and a mountain of processing power. Unfortunately, it's also lacking the depth of software found in Sony, Samsung and even Apple's high-end tablets. By aiming for the top of the pile, Google has inadvertently...

Every bit as iconic as the Nexus 7 It's no secret that critical reception of the new Nexus 9 has been inconsistent at best. Some people love the Nexus 9, but others have found their review units to be less than stellar. For our part, the Nexus 9 is si...
The Nexus 9 costs £319 in 16GB Wi-Fi form. The iPad Air 2 starts at £399. Aside from some nicer aluminium and a better rear facing camera, there is very little in it.Android L is also hugely exciting, because it shows the logical and slick direction the o...
