Slower boot time
Lack of a microSD card slot
Lack of innovation in design and aesthetics

Overall, this tablet is one of the best Android tablets I've seen, and is the only one to offer a pure Android experience. If you are an Android-enthusiast there is no question; this is the device you want. Between the awesome Tegra K1 processor and promp...
Inconsistent build quality, Mediocre fit & finish, Limited to 16/32GB storage with no expansion, Middling cameras, Inconsistent gaming experience
And really, price is the whole problem with the Nexus 9. Yes, it's a Benjamin cheaper than the iPad it was (supposedly) built to compete with, but it's also far less impressive in almost every way. It's the same price as Samsung's Galaxy Tab S 8.4, whose...
The Nexus 9 reveals some small drawbacks.Google presents a strong tablet in cooperation with HTC, which creates high expectations because of the excellent predecessors. However, the pricing is the first small drawback.The Nexus 9 is slightly bulkier than...
Future-proof, but imperfectLong-time readers here at Android Central will know I loves me some Nexus. I like the bare feel of the OS, I like the fast updates, and I like having first crack at new OS features.The performance is great. The battery life is f...
Abstract: I've owned an iPad Air since the original model came out last year (my first iPad), and when the Air 2 came out late last month, I dove right in and bought another. Why? My biggest issue with the original Air was speed: occasional stutters and lackluster...

Abstract: As you probably know, the HTC Nexus 9 tablet has been selling for a few days now and big gadget sites have got a hold of the device for testing purposes. Impressions are mixed and some reviewers have rushed to call this model disappointing or mediocre, bu...
These two couldn't be any more different on the outside, as one impressively stands out for its premium design and svelte construction – while the other follows a more humble and modest path. Mainly due to that disparity, it makes perfect sense why the iP...

Premium design, Excellent screen, Solid performance, Phenomenal user experience
Average battery life, Early processor optimisation issues, Noticeable heat build up, Lacklustre camera
A new age of Nexus The Nexus 9 represents two big milestones in its own right; the long-awaited return of a Nexus tablet and proof that HTC can make a solid slate that has the potential to make serious waves in the market. The user experience is the...
Solid and practical build, Great display, Decent camera, Stock Lollipop is smooth and feature rich, Great speakers
Occasional performance issues, Battery life is disappointing, Limited storage options
9.0 It's not without flaws, but given all that it offers for the price, the presence of beautiful stock Android, and the guarantee of timely updates, the Nexus 9 is worth every penny....
