Google Nexus 7 Review
Google Nexus 7 5 Star Rating: Cheapism Best Pick
Summary:

The Google Nexus 7 is the tablet of choice among reviewers for its sharp and bright display, fast performance, long battery life, and Android 4.2 operating system.

If you want the best tablet $200 can buy, Google's Nexus 7 is it, according to expert Nexus 7 reviews. A reviewer from Engadget says the Nexus 7, manufactured by Asus, bests the Kindle Fire in just about every way. The Nexus 7 review praises the fast, snappy performance and lauds the screen's brightness and wide viewing angles, adding that 720p video and text look top-notch on the display. CNET awards the model four out of five stars in its Nexus 7 review for the impressive battery life, sharp display, fast processor, and an operating system that uses the latest and fastest version of Android. Noting that the lack of a memory expansion card slot is a minor flaw, a Nexus 7 review in PC World nonetheless declares the Nexus 7 to be the best 7-inch tablet on the market. In particular, the review cites the superb color reproduction on the display and the unusually long battery life.

As its name suggests, Nexus 7 is a 7-inch tablet. It boasts a screen resolution of 1280x800 and can play 720p HD video. This budget tablet is outfitted with a 1.2MP camera, 16GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, and a speedy quad-core 1.2GHz processor. The Nexus 7 can connect to a Wi-Fi network and is Bluetooth compatible. It also features a micro USB port that comes in handy for data transfers and charging. The tablet can run for about nine to 10 hours on a single charge and is powered by the Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system.

It's rare to see such clear consensus among reviewers about a top product in any category. And in the case of affordable 7-inch tablets, the Nexus 7 is the clear favorite. It's quick and responsive, the battery outlasts the competition, the display is striking, and it uses the newest Android OS. This is the bargain buy to beat.
