The editors didn't like
Pricier than before
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

Hate having to really deliberately stretch my t
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
Camera isn't great
Screen has some small issues
Android 5.0 still needs some tweaks
Only available in 16GB and 32GB versions

Subpar battery life
The odd hiccup while navigating
Video game graphics need some serious optimisation

64-bit processor is great for gaming and productivity, Front-facing stereo speakers give the Nexus 9 a mini-theater experience
Chassis is very basic, Density can make it hard to hold for long periods of time
If you're drawn to the Nexus 9, buy it because you want to see what the future's like, not because you're looking for the absolutely perfect tablet device....

Minimal tabletoptimized apps available from Google, High price, Low available storage capacity, Minimal tabletoptimized apps available from Google, High price, Low available storage capacity
It is a bit disappointing that Google isn't still offering up the Nexus 7, as that was a tablet you could easily use with one hand. The Google Nexus 9 is a well-made tablet running the newest version of Android and will appeal to the Android faithful. ...
The pricing is absolutely competitive at $399, Material Design gives the interface an inviting presence, Android 5.0 Lollipop dishes us several cool features, Battery is far more lasting than its contemporaries, Precise color reproduction with its display
Hollowness with its construction, Low lighting performance is weak with its camera
Modesty, that's what makes the Google Nexus 9 an unsuspecting threat in the tablet space. The specs and design aren't insanely out there, to drastically separate it from the existing crop of competition, but rather, it's what it delivers with its overall ...

Android 5.0 Lollipop runs like a dream, Material Design face-lift is warm, welcoming, K1 chipset is plenty powerful, despite benchmark oddities
Screen is solid, not jaw-dropping, BoomSound speakers not as good as M8's, No expandable memory
I didn't expect to feel so torn about the Nexus 9. On the one hand, Android 5.0 Lollipop is refreshing, what with its snappiness and welcoming redesign. On the other, I can't help but feel a little frustrated that Google and HTC compromised on the Nexus 9...
Fast, fresh new Android Lollipop OS, 4:3 aspect ratio good for reading and web surfing, 64 bit CPU holds promise for the future
Dull design and materials given the price, not quick to charge, some display light bleed
If you're an Android purist and enthusiast who wants OS updates first and prefers a clean Android experience minus UI customizations like TouchWiz, LG UI or HTC Sense, then the Nexus 9 has clear appeal. Likewise, if you're that guy or gal who spends quali...
