Google Nexus 7 – The Tablet Nice and Cheap
Among the best tablet available on the market for value for money, Asus Nexus 7 in the new edition (2013) improves the display excellent in performance and smoothness of use. A tablet practical, able to combine affordability and fun.
It is available, and it is really worth evaluating how Android tablet excellent value for money of the proposal with the new Google Nexus 7, made by Asus. The mini tablet is available starting from $220, a price which, as we shall see, balance the demands of family savings, with those of the children and the school.
It is actually a mini-tablet with 7-inch display, excellent quality, full hd, to 323 ppi. The benchmarks show a CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro is the model APQ8064 quad-core construction process to 28 nm, with the graphics nourished by Adreno 320. Of the two models, we have in evidence that unfortunately without LTE connectivity, only WiFi. Google Nexus 7 works with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of memory.
Enclosed in a polycarbonate chassis well designed, with the slightly rubberized back and the front with a faceted edge, the tablet offers an outlet that is optimal, overall dimensions could have been even lower if upper and lower edges were more content, instead the unused space is about 2 cm, 8 mm thick, but no doubt it is a forced choice because of the choice of the panel. Asus has masked well thickness, so that the outlet the device appears thinner.
The weight is around 300 grams: not just for a display of 7 inches, but also in line with that of iPad mini (but has metal parts). Disappears any reference to Google and back Asus has got to be able to present their brand and the name Nexus. The partnership with Google – Asus own admission – has led to vendor expertise also reusable on other products.
Nexus 7 is equipped with accelerometer, magnetic sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, GPS sensor of course. The front camera with 1.2 Megapixel sensor is service, and the rear does not boast record data, but it is also an instrument of service with 5 megapixel sensor. How the interface is provided exclusively a Slim Port and headphone jack that do not support the combined headphone / microphone.
The microphone used is the external profile of the chassis. To spread without headphones, stereo speakers are positioned Fraunhofer both the top and the bottom. You should stop the audio industry: despite being a budget device, it has been taken care of properly.
The sound sacrifices less than the average for this type of device the bass, and finally, a pleasure to use this tablet, which costs less than $220, even watching a music video on the fly, without headphones.
Main interface and unique for the connection with the outside world is SlimPort, then certainly compatible microUSB port that allows also use an HDMI connector using an adapter, you have to give up MHL (Mobile High-definition Link).
The operating system of the new Nexus 2013 edition is Android 4.3. All apps are pre-installed on a single screen. Google prefers the choice of cleaning up, and on the other hand, would not be possible customizations of any kind, typical of tablets offered by other vendors. Better hardware and software integration brought about this Nexus 7 appreciable fluidity, although a more powerful CPU would help further (think Xperia Z Ultra, which also costs a lot more though).
Nexus 7 – Performance
The benchmarks Extreme Ice Storm stopped by the 7177 score, with the graphics that is scoring 6516. Not bad. Vellamo Html 5 has reached the score 1565 and Vellamo Metal 700. AnTuTu it did mark the score 20294, higher than the Google Nexus between 10 and Android systems in direct competition with Galaxy Note 2. At the top, in this range of performance, remain Htc One and Galaxy S4 are two smartphones that anyway.
The Nexus 7 HD, good ergonomics and great price, does not excel in any fund, except, perhaps, for what has been our experience of use, the audio and the display. Yet precisely for this reason deserves to be considered. Why not impress it still offers a good price-performance better than good. Autonomy more than nine hours of use.
