  • After testing and living with the second generation Nexus 7 tablet for a month, Will and Norm sit down to discuss their experience with it, how it differs from last year's Nexus 7 and Apple's iPad Mini, and why it's not a device you'll buy and toss in a drawer.

    I honestly think that the Nexus 7 (2013) is underhyped. We all remember last year when the first Nexus 7 came out, it was an okay tablet at best and became very popular based on it's price alone. One thing that astonished me this year was the improvements, virtually every tech spec that could have been improved on from 2012 to 2013 model, was. And not only did they make it better, they gave it specs that warrant it costing between $50-100 more than what it retails for. This tablet is an absolute steal and a beast of a little device. 2013 tablet of the year in my eyes.

    i chose the 2012 nexus 7 16GB as my first tablet, it was only £119 new from carphone warehouse what a bargain!! the new nexus 7 is great,i tried it in a shop but like they said the screen is so bright,and coudnt really warrant the extra price for that extra bright screen and a rear camera i wont use,why pay more for ipads?? well done google and asus

    Now that's what I call a solid review. I'm not left with any questions about it. I'm liking it but already having a Nexus 7 it's not a must upgrade for me right now but there's definitely a 32gb version in my future.

    @NarugaWesker 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really happened to like this review, there isn't a whole lot of in depth reviews like this only benchmark tests and minor things.
    But if I can say one thing there was a slight inaccuracy with the data, the new Nexus 7 is indeed faster than the HTC One, I've seen about 9 benchmark videos on it (I've looked a lot into buying this, and I've noticed that the new Nexus performs slightly faster than the One.
    But either way great review guys c:

  • @ChinmayH
    @ChinmayH 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice video guys, like the format where you both are asking questions and discussing different topics.
    With the growing screen sizes of mobiles like the Note 2, Note 3 what would make one go for a 7 inch tablet, what would be the advantages of having the Nexus 7 in addition to the Note 2. Let me know your views on the same.
    My primary use is gonna be calendering, email, browsing, youtubing, movies, music.

  • @xnamkcor
    @xnamkcor 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Speaking of high resolutions. Are there any software based solutions for using lower resolutions on high res monitors without the blurry resizing? For example, If I wanna output 640x480 to my 1280x1024 monitor, is there a way to have it "point" or "nearest neighbor" scaled to the monitor so it uses 2x2 pixels instead of using linear or another kind of scaling that makes the image "smooth"? My AMD card can do scaling, but doesn't seem options for Scaling Method.

    good point but how cna they sell it for that price? well it's pretty simple, the production costs aren't high at all, if I remember right the iPhone production was around 120$ each, so yeah most goes into branding etc.

    Hey guys, I've got a Nook SimpleTouch (e-ink) that I do all my reading on and I do read quite a bit. Lord willing I'm getting this Nexus 7 for Christmas, and I've never had a tablet before. What's the reading experience like? I've seen reading mode on some tablets, does this have it? I'm hoping it has a good reading experience so I can just carry around the Nexus and not both devices. Thanks!

  • @esaedvik
    @esaedvik 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    There's only one with a "second" version, this one. And it's just a "Nexus 7", but review sites and shops have named it Nexus 7 FHD or 2013 mostly.

  • @LJK301
    @LJK301 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey guys,
    I really like the reviews. I think they're a lot more grounded and kind of this-is-what-it's-like-living-with-it, and that separates them from other, more technical oriented reviews.
    But could you still maybe put the full specs and initial impression of the reviewed tech (whatever it might be) straight to the "about" box so you could quickly glance at them and get an initial feel of the device right away?

  • @F8H
    @F8H 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    As an Htc One user myself, why should I get the Nexus 7? Is the bigger screen worth it? Is there anything else that would make it worth it? I do want one but am just trying to justify why I should buy it. :) Any answer from anyone with experience would be appreciated!

    which do you think 'much nicer' refered to?
    *16:10*
    its a more pleasant aspect ratio, and yes i prefer 1200 vs 1080 lines.

    I found this tablet and surprisingly, it's pretty fast with the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmellow. The speakers crackle at >50% volume, but that seems to be the norm with the Nexus 7 line. Works fine for my needs. I do prefer my iPad Mini 2 64GB though.

  • @shotokun16
    @shotokun16 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not sure you understand what I meant. All you have to do is drag down from the top and hit the rotation locked button. Soooo no need to have to set up your device in any special way. Just one drag and one button press could avoid all the sillyness.

    I think you need to consider what you want to use it for. If you want a tablet for traveling, just some reading or to watch movies. Make sure you know what you want to use it for. For that reason there is no 'better' tablet, just depends on the usage you want out of it.

    I think for reading comics it'll be a lot better at 7" with that resolution and that applies to any kind of magazine style thing. Video is nicer to watch at the larger size don't you think? and having two, when ones battery is out, you've got a whole nother device to play with! Also think of all the stuff you can say, I don't need this on the phone now, I can put it on the tablet, let it take up space there and vice versa so more fast local storage to play with.
