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

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

Lacks fine detail in video
Music performance is poor

Uncompetitive at this price

Good screen, powerful processor, Android 5.0 Lollipop
Casework not as classy as some, no expandable memory, no IR blaster
We're not angry, just a little disappointed that the Google Nexus 9 is no more than a decent mid-range tablet, rather than a standout bargain like the Nexus 7. It has premium styling, the full HD screen looks lovely, the dual-core processor performs rea...

Big, sharp screen, Powerful CPU, Pretty and new Android software
Screen has some small issues, Android 5.0 still needs some tweaks, Only available in 16GB and 32GB versions
The Nexus 9 shows where Android tablets of the future should be headed — a little less geek locked in their bedroom, a bit more ‘ordinary person' relaxing in the lounge. However, it also has the raw power underneath to satisfy enthusiasts so it'll come u...
Previous Nexus tablets, particularly the Nexus 7, have been hard to beat for value but that's not the case for the Nexus 9. It's not a bad tablet - especially if performance is a priority - but the screen isn't perfect and neither is build quality. The Sa...
Lack of apps supporting 64-bit processor on Android, camera isn't great
The Nexus 9's powerful 64-bit processor, impressive battery life and business-friendly Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system make it one of the best tablets currently available for either personal or business use....

The Nexus 9 is an excellent Android tablet. If you are a first-time buyer looking for a media-consumption tablet, and 32GB is enough storage, you will not be disappointed. And at the bottom end of the spec you can save money. But for performance, producti...
Android 5.0 Lollipop is a huge improvement, performance is generally smooth, good screen (if not top quality), battery life will be ample for most
Screen-bleeding issues, some teething problems with Android 5.0, average camera
The Nexus 6 is undoubtedly a great tablet, driven largely by the changes brought with Android 5.0 Lollipop. There's no question that the tablet offers huge improvements compared with the previous Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, but the Nexus 9 still feels somewhat lack...
