    Watching in 2020: I wish they would bring back inexpensive pure Android tablets like this and its Nexus 7 predecessor. And I say that as an iPad/iPhone user.

    • @JHA854
      @JHA854 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      TheGrayWolf81 tablet market is pretty dead though, especially on android. The iPad is really the only popular one and even that has gone down in sales recently.

    • @TheGrayWolf81
      @TheGrayWolf81 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      J Hughes Well yes, but what about a Windows tablet, kind of like the one Huawei made. I do agree with you though.

    • @JHA854
      @JHA854 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      TheGrayWolf81 Yeah, but OnePlus is an Android company. I like Windows tablets, I just think Android tablets and even iOS somewhat, are a dying breed because people don't replace them often.

    • @TheGrayWolf81
      @TheGrayWolf81 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      J Hughes Well Huawei is also soley an Android company, that shouldn't stop OP from making a Windows machine. But yeah, everyone does everything on their phones nowadays. Plus, there are a lot more phablets now, or just bigger phones in general which are basically replacing tablets.

      There's no reason to get hyped over plastic Android junk, they're all identical black/grey pieces of plastic that lag and have horrendous UI/OS.
      Look at the iPad and iPhone on his desk - that is perfection, pure perfection, nothing can beat Apple.

    how can there be 9,000 likes when assuming the mass of ordinary matter is about 1.45×1053 kg (reference previous section) and assuming all atoms are hydrogen atoms (which in reality make up about 74% of all atoms in our galaxy by mass, see Abundance of the chemical elements), calculating the estimated total number of atoms in the universe is straight forward. Divide the mass of ordinary matter by the mass of a hydrogen atom (1.45×1053kg divided by 1.67×10−27 kg). The result is approximately 1080 hydrogen atoms. So I'm assuming this video was hacked.

    Major props for both subjectivity and objectivity. Comes from a genuine place and totally helps that your pretty much spot on as far as the hardware premium vs software experience and how that should have determined pricing but didn't. I had high hopes as well for the HTC build but it looks like I'll hold out for next years nexus. Hopefully they give HTC another shot so they can redeem themselves.

      If I had 2 million subs, I'd put a video everyday, he can retire with the amount of money he makes, doesn't need to even go to school, the dude makes over $200k a year with the amount of views and subs he has... Not saying school isn't important but with the amount of money he makes, shouldn't bother cuz TH-cam is a great career job with that many sub's

    • @KingdomofSmileys
      @KingdomofSmileys 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Abubaker Alzuaree Maybe he doesn't want to make TH-cam videos for the rest of his life? Sometimes people want to go to school. He doesn't owe you videos. It's his channel, he has no obligation to post videos at all, regardless of how many subscribers he has.

    • @YouLostTheGame97
      @YouLostTheGame97 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tablets are amazing for watching Netflix and TH-cam videos along with reading EBooks, I have the Original iPad which I received as a gift shortly after it was launched and I still use it to this day for EBooks, TH-cam, and Netflix and it does a damn good job at this, past that I could see games, but I have a 3DS so I don't really want a subpar Tablet gaming experience.

  • @trentbosnic
    @trentbosnic 9 ปีที่แล้ว +95

    Glad I'm not alone in thinking this tablet is just not up to standard. It's overpriced, uninspiring, low build quality and under performing. I'm by no means an Apple endorser, I think Google's software is way superior to Apple's, but the iPad just walks all over the Nexus 9. With the iPad, you get a tablet with 20x more tablet optimised apps, much higher build quality and design, and better performance. You messed it up HTC and Google.

    • @theconformist2399
      @theconformist2399 9 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Same here. I'm not a fan of the way Apple prices their products, but the Nexus 9 was just a poor business decision.
      It's not a bad tablet. At all. But whoever at HTC/Google thought it'd be a great idea to price it at $399 was out of their minds. Not so much because Android tablets can't be in that price range, but more so because the overall build quality and specs of this device don't justify the price.
      I mean, at least match the build quality of the iPad mini. Hell, the iPad mini 2 is $299 right now. What incentive do I - or anyone else - have to buy this over the mini 2 with that price disparity?
      It baffles and frustrates me as to how asinine the pricing of this tablet is.

    • @trentbosnic
      @trentbosnic 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      theconformist 100% agree

    • @trentbosnic
      @trentbosnic 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      MaestroFire Yeah, I think the Nexus 6 design is a let down. I honestly think the Nexus 5 is one of the most beautiful phones ever made, something about its shape and size is perfect, the red one in particular is amazing. But the Nexus 6 is thicker, wider, heavier and taller than my old Galaxy Note 2, which was a huge phone anyway. People are trying to make this size the norm, but I'm confident next years Nexus won't be as big as this years one, it's just not desirable to most people.

    • @trentbosnic
      @trentbosnic 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      MaestroFire Defs. I could handle 5.2 in a small body, but 6 inches is ridiculous, and will never be a "thing" among normal consumers.

    • @Ubuntu3011
      @Ubuntu3011 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Everyone had high expectations cuz HTC was making it. Why did HTC who are well known for their legendary hardware prowess and speakers build a tablet with such average build quality and speakers. Perhaps Google didn't let them do so. And it should've been priced lower considering it's average build quality and all.

    okay so I have the nexus 9 and used to have the iPad air 2 which my son now uses, they are both great however I think I prefer the nexus overall.........I think it's the software that I prefer.
    the iPad certainly add the better build materials and I think ios does still work a little better on a tablet, but my personal preference is Android and if that's the case for you also? I would say that the nexus is the best tablet to experience Android on.

    It's like he ignores/doesnt even mention its terrible problems such as the build quality that doesnt stop on just the buttons, the laggy interface that takes more time to open an app than my old ass n7 2012, the lightbleed, and more. He either just flat out doesnt say anything about certain issues or hes like "oh yea and this happens" and proceeds to talk about the next awesome device/android feature. Maybe its just me, I dont know, but Im getting a bit tired of this "everything is gorgeous yay android" kind of reviews. This tablet in particular is expensive as shit for an Android tablet. He should be harsher. 6700 MaH? That sucks! Say it!

    • @oodlesofnoodles23

      What are you talking about? He addressed all of the problems you talked about and more, said himself that it was hard to recommend, and went as far to say that people would be disappointed by the tablet if they were expecting 1 m8 quality. This is clearly a NEGATIVE review, just because he didn't rant for 8 minutes about how awful it is and offered some positives for people who might choose to overlook the downsides doesn't mean he is being an android fanboy.

The fucking thing is a huge dissapointment for me cause I was expecting something that would allow me to upgrade my Nexus 7 and instead we get this overpriced crap.

    I know people are bitching about this tablet, like people do about everything, but I'm glad google chose HTC for this one. It gave HTC a chance to get into the tablet market. I'm sure it was a learning experience and that will only mean good things for the future. Google does seem to do very good with that, they take companies and pull them over the hump. Look what they did with Motorola, they make some of the best android phones Now.

    • @japzone
      @japzone 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      viko207 What are you talking about? It's going to run a close to Vanilla version of Android, with Android 5.0 out of the box, and it'll have Google Play in markets where Google operates(ie: not China). Its specs are also really good for the price. Plus it will be shipping with the new USB Type-C standard. I'm a longtime Android user and I'm drooling over the thing. The only real Con the Tablet has is that it likely won't hit Western markets until around the summer of next year.
      PS: The Nokia Xs were made by Nokia's mobile division that they sold to Microsoft.

      I personally feel like HTC didn't even have anything to do with this. I think Google literally called all of the shots and just licensed the name and logo. I really do. Nothing about it says HTC based on everything else they've ever done.

    • @JoelGeorge
      @JoelGeorge 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      benjmiester You may be right but if they're gonna attach their name to it I'm sure they had _some_ say as to what they would offer. They can't jeopardize their brand just because Google wants everything to be "simple" aka boring to keep the price the down. This thing is still expensive for the build quality (as noted in the vid).

    • @benjmiester
      @benjmiester 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, I know if it was my company, I sure wouldn't either. Yeah, maybe Google just tamed them too much. They were making amazing products but losing money for a while. Google isn't into losing money lol. They just beat Apple early this year to the #1 most profitable company spot.

    • @zacharycropper5532
      @zacharycropper5532 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      benjmiester Actually this does sound like HTC. While their quality is generally pretty good, there are always glaring small issues. Like on the M7, the red/purple camera hue in low light. On the M8, same thing as the M7 if you're unlucky and the crappy UV coating on the camera lens.

      Lollipop is very good, like James said it takes some getting used to. I like the keyboard better and it feels more fluid. I'm running it on the Nexus 4. With battery saving on you get an extra 30-40% percent, but internet slows down a little.

    As most objective reviewers point out, stock Android sucks for tablets. It's just a smartphone with a big screen.

The rest of the Androids are just for watching videos and playing games. iPads are better for games.

    • @crasherball

      Steve Jobs said from the start that iPads are ONLY for media consumption, not productivity. He knew from the start they were essentially useless toys, not utilities.

      Phillip Lee I've used $100s priced tablets and the Nexus 9 isn't that bad. But this definitely feels more of a $200s build quality. The Nvidia ST has similar internal specs to the Nexus 9 but way better build quality at a smaller price.

    Having used the nexus 10 for a year now, and still very happy with it. I had expected a much better tablet follow up from Google Nexus ( especially on display quality and camera ) !

    I never understand why you never do a review for a windows phone Marques! I'm a very huge admirer of the same. At least please start doing from now!

    Great review as always! Google this Holiday season just blew me away in terms of having a very overpriced devices and i totally agree that $400+tax+delivery is too steep for any tablet the way Nexus 9 was introduced.
