Google itself smartphones and tablets does not, but regularly choose any of the manufacturers, and with it created a master device - an example for others. So perfect 7-inch Android tablet on the platform according to the owner was Nexus 7, immediately struck many heavily reduced functionality. Let's see what the sample and whether to focus on the rest of it.

Google before periodically forced some of the manufacturers do him Nexus, but first - even after the release of Android 3.0 - it was just smartphones. Thus, Nexus 7 was the first "gugloplanshetom." Performer was the company ASUS, to which the device is almost nothing.

Appearance

The tablet is designed minimalistic, but interesting. Google Nexus 7 stands out among the hundreds of faceless models. ASUS have good designers and they were able, using past achievements, to create a tablet with expressive appearance, and there were no direct references to any of your own devices.

On the front panel of the display you can see the front camera eye. Neither the hardware nor the touch buttons below the screen there, Google preaches transition to the control screen.

At the right end of the tablet designers have placed the power button and volume rocker, while on the left we see a contact to connect, for example, with the car, "cradle".

The top end is devoid of elements, and handed down to the lower interface connector micro-USB and audio output of 3.5 mm.

Rear of the unit is dotted with shallow grid points-dimples. Characteristically, the logo «nexus» is several times greater than ASUS - after ruler lives, and artists are changing. Here we see the bottom slot of the speaker.

We would also like to dwell on how the tablet is in the hand, despite the smooth edges and rounded corners, covering the back of the device does not slip even in wet hands. In addition, it is absolutely not the brand.

Findings

Nexus 7 - a quality tablet with a powerful filling the screen, good build and materials at a reasonable price for these qualities. If you have clearly decided that, abandoning the front camera and 3G, you have nothing to lose if you only like A-brand products, if you want to always use the latest version of the OS, this tablet - definitely your choice. Although, in my opinion, to the ideal Android-solutions.
