Nexus 7 Review (2013)

The Review of the Nexus 7 2013 Tablet Device

As I sat down to review the Nexus 7 2013 tablet device, I was excited to put it through its paces and see how it performed. One of my first impressions was that the device felt substantial in my hands, with a weighty build that suggested quality construction. The body of the device is made of metal, which gives it a premium feel that's reassuring.

I also appreciated the size of the device, which seems perfectly suited for the average consumer. It's not too large, but big enough to be comfortable to hold and use over extended periods of time. The 7-inch screen is clear and crisp, with vibrant colors that make watching videos or browsing the web a pleasure. I was also happy with the quality of the sound that came out of the speakers - they're surprisingly good for a device of this size.

I spent some time testing out the various features of the Nexus 7 2013, starting with YouTube videos and MP3s from my Amazon account. The audio was clear and crisp, and I enjoyed watching clips on YouTube without any issues. I also tried listening to movies on Netflix, and found that the device handled the video playback smoothly and without any hiccups. Additionally, I was able to listen to audiobooks on Audible with no problem - in fact, one of my favorite Android features is the ability to use Bluetooth headphones for this purpose.

In terms of battery life, I found that the Nexus 7 2013 seemed to last a full day without needing to be recharged. This was impressive, and suggests that the device has done a good job of conserving its power when not in active use. One of my favorite Android features is the ability to toggle Wi-Fi off when the device is asleep - this helps to extend battery life even further.

The cameras on the Nexus 7 2013 are also worth mentioning. They're perfect for any kind of video conferencing, and I found them to be excellent for taking selfies or capturing snapshots of family members and friends. It's worth noting that some users have reported issues with the GPS and multi-touchscreen on this device, but I haven't experienced these problems myself - in fact, I've had no major software issues whatsoever.

One thing that did bother me slightly was the amount of stutter that can occur when switching between apps or performing other actions. While it's not a deal-breaker by any means, it is something that might be distracting for some users. However, even with this minor issue, the Nexus 7 2013 still manages to handle Android well - and I've found this to be the case on my previous device as well.

The screen on the Nexus 7 2013 is one of its standout features - it's incredibly responsive and easy to use, making it perfect for tasks like navigating through menus or playing games. In fact, I was able to test out the screen with the popular game Cut the Rope, and found that it performed flawlessly.

In terms of storage capacity, the Nexus 7 2013 comes in a range of options - from 8GB to 32GB. This means that you should be able to find an option that suits your needs, whether you're looking for plenty of space for apps or music and videos.

The app selection on the Nexus 7 2013 is generally ample, although it's worth noting that many apps are optimized specifically for larger Android screens like this one. That being said, there are still plenty of great options available, including some exclusives that you won't find on other devices.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the Nexus 7 2013 - it's a device that feels well-built and well-designed, with a range of features that make it perfect for everyday use. The price is also very competitive, making this a great option for anyone looking to upgrade their tablet experience without breaking the bank.

One question that I get asked quite often is whether or not you should spend the money on a device like this if you already have another Android tablet at home. My answer is simply yes - while it's true that you may be able to use an older model for certain tasks, the Nexus 7 2013 offers significantly improved performance and features that make it worth upgrading.

Similarly, if you're new to Android and are looking for a device to try out the operating system on, I highly recommend the Nexus 7 2013. It's a great way to get a feel for Android without committing to a more expensive device like the Nexus 4. And while some power users may prefer certain features that aren't available on this device, such as expandable storage or more advanced camera capabilities, there are still plenty of benefits to owning an Android tablet.

Of course, if you're already invested in the Google ecosystem - with Gmail, Calendar, Go+, and other services like Google Music All Access - then you may not see a compelling reason to buy this device. However, for anyone else looking to upgrade their tablet experience, I think the Nexus 7 2013 is an excellent choice.

In conclusion, my review of the Nexus 7 2013 tablet device has been overwhelmingly positive. With its solid build, great screen, and range of features that make it perfect for everyday use, this device is a must-consider for anyone in the market for a new tablet. Whether you're looking to upgrade from an older model or simply want a great Android experience, I think the Nexus 7 2013 is well worth considering.

when the device is asleep that really extends battery life the cameras are perfect for any kind of video conferencing you might do some users have reported that they've had problems with the GPS and multi-touchscreen of the Nexus 7 2013 but I haven't run into any hardware problems and any software issues I've had have been relatively minor and you know what I've said about Android in the past the stutter kind of bothers me but if there's any amount of stutter on the Nexus 7 2013 I barely see it which isn't to say that it is not there just means that the Nexus 7 handles Android better than other devices have handled Android here's my Infamous Cut the Rope test I'm just pointing out that the screen is as responsive as I could expect it to be I still like my Nexus 4 as a go-to Android device but the Nexus 7 2013 is a close runner up if only because of the screen and my Instagram photos on it the app selection in general ample there are apps that are optimized for larger Android screens it's just that they're not prevalent that's said think about how you plan on primarily using your tablet YouTube videos web browsing email you're going to be fine and as far as experiences go in relation to price right now you can't beat the Nexus 7 2013 at least as far as a choice in an Android devices concerned there are a lot of choices in the marketplace and that's a good thing but for an Android tablet the Nexus 7 2013 has certainly earned number one in my book for a reason are you sitting on the fence should you spend the money I say if you're already wondering if you should then you should in fact as far as this device is concerned I didn't find much to complain about I'm not disappointed the average user looking to spend an average amount of money on a tablet Computing experience and looking for an average experience I think they're going to be happy with this the decision of whether or not you should buy this may be contingent on what other devices you have in the house if you have an older Nexus 7 I say sell it and buy the new one if you've been looking to expand your horizons and try Android for the first time I don't think you're going to be disappointed with the new Nexus 7 and that's not to say that the older Nexus 7 is bad it's just that the newer one is definitely better power users should love it for different reasons than the average consumer might for that in my book makes Nexus 7 a winner for everybody if you don't live inside of Google other than in search I don't know if this would be a compelling purchase for you after all Google has a rich ecosystem of products Gmail calender go+ Chrome they even have Media Services like Google music all access which may may not be available in your country Google is doing its best to create a cohesive complete experience for you the software at least as far as this version of Android is concerned seems to have been developed with this piece of Hardware in mind it's a relatively cohesive experience if you really don't care what platform your tablet happens to be running on if you even know what a platform is to begin with the Nexus 7 should serve you well and if you do care about the platform and you happen to like Android or the direction Google's going with it again the Nexus 7 will serve you out I'm not exactly sure what else you would expect in a review from me good Hardware
