Full review of Nexus 7 second generation( 2013)

• Complete Nexus 7. In a small blue box hides directly the tablet itself, various documentation, as well as a USB cable and a charger unit. Headphones or any branded cover is not included, which is understandable, given that the predecessor in the bundle of delivery of these things, too, was not there.


• Operating system of the tablet. Like all products from Google, Nexus 7 2013 has the latest firmware version: Android 4.3, which almost did not undergo serious changes from previous versions. By the speed of the interface itself, there are no comments, everything works not just quickly, but reactively.


• Hardware Nexus 7( 2013). The novelty acquired a truly flagship iron. The place of the not very successful Tegra 3 processor - took the 4-core Qualcomm S4 Pro APQ8064, having a frequency of 1.5 GHz per core. In fact, the exact same processor is in the Sony Xperia Z. For graphics quality, a powerful solution in the person of Adreno 320 is responsible. RAM has also increased and now has as much as 2 GB vs. 1 GB compared to its predecessor. As for the internal memory, it can be either 16 or 32 GB, unfortunately, without the possibility of space expansion with Micro SD memory cards. So, as you could see, the iron potential of the novelty is quite high, and making it hard to slow down the tablet will be quite difficult. By the way, it seems that before us the tablet is not at all on Android, so everything works smoothly and smoothly.

• The screen of the device. The diagonal of the display is 7 inches, but the resolution is noticeably grown and is 1920x1200 pixels, which gives the record for the tablet the value of the dots per inch: 323 PPI.Due to this feature Nexus 7 2013 is not only the first 7-inch tablet with Full-HD resolution, but also the most accurate screen, among absolutely all tablets, including even the older brother, in the face of Google Nexus 10. But not only with high resolutionis good present display. The new Nexus 7 offers a great contrast to its IPS screen, which is much better in quality compared to the first generation of this device. Now we can say that the display of the new Google Nexus 7 is the best among all tablets, as it was in its time with the release of the Apple iPad 3.


• Overview of the camera Nexus. As you know, the first Google Nexus 7 had only a front camera, whereas the back one was completely absent. The second generation of the gadget got rid of this lack and got a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, but without a built-in flash. As for the tablet, the quality of this camera is quite good, but subjectively it will be slightly inferior to the reference camera in this plan of the Apple iPad Mini tablet.


• Appearance of the tablet. The design of the new Nexus 7 was unequivocally good. Yes, there are no particularly flashy details, but at the same time the tablet looks quite stylish. The whole body is made of a pleasant to the touch matte plastic, which does not slip at all in the user's hands. As for the overall size, the new Nexus 7, compared with its predecessor, has noticeably decreased both in thickness and width, both in weight and now can easily enter almost any pocket of jeans or a jacket. Also, undoubtedly, will please small on each side frames between the case and the screen. It can be seen that Google borrowed the idea from the Apple iPad Mini. The truth is that above and below these indents are large enough, in contrast to the "minicar."



• Wireless interfaces available in the tablet. The tablet from Google can boast: Bluetooth version 4.0, WI-FI module with protocols a /b/g/ n, NFC-chip, wireless charging option and LTE-module( which, unfortunately, will not work in Russia).


• Built-in battery in the device. As you know, last year's Nexus 7 had quite a good battery life. But the novelty outperformed its predecessor in this indicator. It is stated that the tablet will work with a fairly active mode of 10 hours. Reasons not to believe it, just do not.


• The cost of Nexus 7. Officially, you can not buy a new Nexus 7 in our stores yet, but if you look for a device in online stores, you can find the cheapest version with 16 GB only with a WI-FI module for about 12.000 thousand rubles, whichnow looks good. And if you want to save money, it's better to order from the USA, where this model costs only $ 240.



• Acoustics in a tablet. Usually, this item is not given much attention in tablets, like on smartphones, but Nexus 7 of the second generation is worth mentioning about this point. First, now the tablet has 2-stereo speakers, which have a high volume, and secondly, the quality of the sound from these very speakers is very good and even bass can be traced. Of course, to the level of HTC One the novelty does not reach yet, but among all the tablets Google Nexus 7 2013 is one of the leaders, by the sound from external speakers.
