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
Design could be better

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

Probably not. The more expensive iPad Air 2 blows it away from a performance standpoint, and the original iPad Air is now priced identically to the Nexus 9. Even though its a year older it will probably serve you better as an all-around tablet, due to so...

Game performance simply blazes, Thin and light body matched with Nexus line's clean, unobtrusive design, We want to see tap-to-turn-on functions on every tablet from now on, Solid battery life, Android has matured enough that apps generally hold up well o
Stuttering and pauses between app switches are too common, Slightly loose plastic backing gives the device a cheap feeling, White bleed from the top of the screen is unfortunate, Auto-EQ on speakers goes so far as to ruin certain music and loud scenes
All told, the Nexus 9 is one of the fastest Android tablets available. It's got a great screen (if you're into 9 inch screens), decent speakers, and long battery life. It also comes with Android 5.0 and has an unlockable bootloader. It makes a great m...
Abstract: Two years ago in 2012, Google saw an opening in the tablet market for a small, low-cost device that still offered good performance and a solid display. To this day, the Nexus 7 remains a fan favorite among Android enthusiasts and while Google no longer se...
Overall, the Nexus 9 is a superb Android tablet. If you currently own either a Nexus 7 (2012/2013) or a Nexus 10, the Nexus 9 would be a fantastic upgrade for you. If this would be your first Android tablet experience, then your patience has most definite...

Abstract: Though Nexus phones have been around since 2010, Nexus tablets only started popping up a couple of years ago. Do the same things that worked in the Nexus 7 also work on a 9-inch sequel? Read on, for Gizmag's take on the new HTC-made Nexus 9.The Nexus 9 si...
Abstract: Few parts of the Android ecosystem have improved more and gotten less credit for it than tablets. The gap between 2010's crude Samsung Galaxy Tab and polished products like last year's Nexus 7 is immense. But because Apple set such a high mark early on wi...
Do you want the newest, fastest* Android tablet there is? And one with a very good screen? This is it. Those are, basically, the things the Nexus 9 has going for it. It's not beautiful (YMMV), it's not particularly well put together if you ask me, the bat...
The Nexus 7 has been the staple of Android tablets in my opinion offering a portable size while guaranteeing to always have the latest version of Android. Even the high-end Nexus 10 was a bit of cult classic even though it didn't translate into sales. O...

The Nexus 9 is an excellent tablet, with a sleek design, long battery life, beautiful display, incredible speakers, and wonderful interface. I did have a problem, though, with the fact that there still aren't many tablet-specific Android apps. A 16 GB...
