Nexus 7 2013

 

Following in the footsteps of the original Nexus 7, the tablet that brought Android to the masses, Google's second-generation Nexus 7 has a lot to live up to. Google has now released its new lead tablet, the Nexus 9, though at £319 it's not the...

Nexus 7 2

 

The new Nexus 7 2 builds on the success of its predecessor with great results

Outstanding display ; Great performance ; Sleek design ; Good value

Woeful camera ; No SD card slot

However, it’s the screen that can make or break a tablet: let’s see how it fares.

New Nexus 7 review

 

Supercharged with Android 4.4, the Nexus 7 is now an even better tablet

Great screen ; Affordable ; Strong battery life

A lot of storage already occupied ; Colors are slightly inaccurate ; No 64GB option

If you're looking for a 7-inch tablet, we'll put it like this: there is no better alternative on the market. It's not quite as good as the new iPad mini, but if you don't fancy iOS this is the tablet you want.

Nexus 7 vs Nexus 9 comparison

 

As expected, Google has announced the Nexus 9 with Android 5.0 Lollipop and you're probably wanting to know what different compared with the Nexus 7. Read our Nexus 7 vs Nexus 9 comparison to find out. Also see: Best tablets 2014 and Best Android...

The Nexus 9 is undoubtedly better than the Nexus 7 with a more powerful 64-bit processor, better cameras and front facing stereo speakers. The screen is bigger too but there's a drop in pixel density and an increase in price. Stand by for an update...

Nexus 7 tablet review (2014)

 

The second-generation Google Nexus 7 has been around for about a year now. The 2013 update of the Nexus 7 is still one of the best 7in Android tablets that money can buy, if not the best. And that is just as well, because the word on the street is that...
