Just re-watched this shortly after Marques' new Pixel Tablet video. It's unbelievable to see how the whole IT industry was shaped but still how unique and important these Nexus devices were. Nexus 7 was my first tablet and it was truly a king during that time when the tons of chinese unheard brands and even the bigger companies started to flow the market with their devices. For now, they are mostly gone but this wave was inevitable regarding of the constantly changing needs of how users think of a tablet device. Now I'm on Tab S8 Ultra but the Nexus is still fully functional.
If they released this device in 2019 the exact same but with 2019 interior specs I'd buy it in two seconds. The form factor, the screen, the price, even the battery life, it was an amazing device.
What about in 2023?
@@mikerodgers7620 honestly probably. Would be nice to get a 120hz screen and HDR these days but beyond that I still miss my old Nexus 7, should've never sold mine.
@@EoRdE6 I wanted one of them. Too expensive then. I am working with an HD 8 fire tablet. It's amazing.
Watching this video after the google tab review put out and oh my. Marques has had top notch videography from the very beginning .
Whose here after 10yrs
I still use it!
I also use this tablet 4year ago
It's 2019 and you just helped me decide on a low-cost Android tablet. Good stuff as always man.
Same
how is holding up for streaming services like netflix etc?
@@shraeychikker694 media consumption is pretty much fine on almost any device
@Chineree Harris my note 20 ultra has a 6.9 inch screen
@@shraeychikker694 TH-cam works well
2019 and still using this, anyone?
Mine was stolen
John Dominic Ragudo it’s July 2020 and I’m still using it! Are you?
It's September 2020 still using it
Cal Bloom it’s still going strong...!
Broke my screen but I'm thinking about replacing it now
Revisited review please? Curious to see how this holds up in 2015. Would be a great video helpful and interesting to everyone! Like if you agree.
Its good!
Josh Halterman I've found my 2013 Nexus 7 is running really well with Lollipop (5.02) and working just fine... it's holding up to be a great tablet! Wish I could say the same for my 2012 Nexus 7 (w/ 5.1)... it is REALLY a slow experience, to the point of being barely usable.
Josh Halterman well i can tell you that my 2012 nexus 7 is having a hard time on lollipop... you're dropping 10% every 2 minutes just by watching a youtube video
Dustin Hamilton The 2012 version has 1GB of RAM as oppose to 2013 version of 2GB of RAM. :)
***** My nexus 7 with 5.1.1 is silky smooth
Revisited this video after Marq mentioned about it in first impressions video of Pixel tablet. That Jellybean Android and old app icons of Google apps..damn nostalgia 😄
Anyone else still using this awesome tablet? I sure am.
same
I am.
I have an iPad Air atm and I got a note 3 and love andriod is nexus 7 still worth it???
+abhi patel Yes it's still worth it!
same
Watching this on my Nexus 7 (2013) after 5 years ❤️ love this device
Finally, a straight forward, no nonsense review. Thank you Marques Brownlee, all my doubts, questions & concerns as to which Tablet to purchase has been put to bed. Sign me up, let's go shopping for my new Nexus 7 (2013)
Paul
Just wanted to say that this is one of the best reviews of the Nexus 7 I've seen so far. Sound and video quality are very good and you speak quite clean .Keep up the good work man.
I watched this on my nexus 7
Would you recommend it to someone who just wants a good all around 7" tablet?
Brettacus yes
Same xD
Same
Who is here after the latest video? I loved this device!
Hey man! Your videos are the best TH-cam reviews. I love how in depth you get, and your totally honest. Keep it up!
dude just found your channel, awesome video quality. Also, speaking clearly and fluidly makes such a difference from others. Keep it up!
Great Review Marques Thank you so much!!I can't wait to have mine in a few days!!
I have this tablet, 3 years later it's still running great, I flashed LineageOS and a custom recovery and it still runs great.
Does it fit on pant pocket
@@Rajesh_0190 Yep
Great job man, I feel that this is a very thorough review that covers just about every point anyone would need to know that is considering this tablet or comparing it to its 2012 counterpart .
Marques, Just subscribed tonight after watching this video, Best Darn review I have ever seen on anything and I am a review junkie....Keep up the great work.
Lol ive been torturing myself with watching reviews of the Nexus 7, cant wait to get one quick soon, great review mate, loved the explanations
it's a great device
I'm getting mines in mail in a week! Super Excited!
Michael G for you
Lls I'm watching this on my new nexus 7, love this thing already!!
I just bought one of these. I swear it looks bigger in the videos than it seems to in fact, be. It is still in the box but the box is about the size of a VHS tape only a bit smaller. Your videos are great Marques. Thanks.
i watched this video 2 days ago & i just want to say you gave a great review. i ordered mine on amazon for $199 brand new & will be receiving it on Wednesday. I CANNOT WAIT!! thanks!!
Man, I miss this thing... My first ever Android 😂😂
Watching this on my new Nexus 7 I love it.
You did a great job on the review and totally justified my purchase of it last night on amazon ( 194 bucks and no ship). Good work, and keep the reviews coming!
Great review! This was my first time watching one of your videos, and I'm impressed. Not too long, not too short, and interesting. Thanks!
Iam using this tablet from 2013 - 2019 🔥
Javeed Akthar P How is it? I just bought one for £16
Just got mine.. It's awesome always wanted it for the size is perfect and it feels good
watching this after you mentioned it on the Google Pixel Tablet review today lol
Thanks bro for the reviews on the Nexus 7 it hard finding someone that knows what there talking about. I bought the Nexus 7 and this thing is everything you said basically amazing. Thanks again for the amazing reviews.
Looking for my 1st tablet and the Nexus 7 caught my eye. I looked online for reviews and came across yours. I'm sold! When I buy a tablet, I want it to be a Nexus 7! Thanks for all the info.
In 2021 this is now considered a phone
I wish google made this tablet in 2019 cause I sure miss the form factor so much
Great Review. Straight to the point, fun to watch and in fact this is what sold me on the tablet. Mine is the 4G LTE model and I will be installing it into the dash of my Ford Truck. Thanks Marques.
Fantastic job on your demo, you made it look so cool, Can't wait to pick one up. thanks for giving us the pros & cons
Still using it
I think that a decent camera on a tablet in really necessary: taking a picture of info, a paper, searching something on goggles, reading a qr code, virtual reality game etc...
.ix
VR gaming on a 150 bucks tablet.... like, serious?
QR codes dont need a good camera, also the other things... if u need to take a good photo, just use your phone/camera and transfer it with bluetooth
Dude - your reviews rock! Great work, thank you.
I think my favorite part about your videos is the quality, and the unbiased opinion.
2019 using it as a Clock lol. Great tablet tho
Wow! You saved me some money. I almost bought the Sam tab 4. Not anymore!
Elvin Lewis i have the samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 and it sucks. getting a Nexus. too much bloatware on the samsungs
faheemthedream2007 I bought two of the Nexus 7's for my kids, factory refurb. On Amazon, and they were in mint condition. Everything he says they are, and I paid 150.00 each. You can get them slightly less, but I wanted assurances, so I bought directly from Amazon, and not the marketplace. Very satisfied.
Elvin Lewis good job! i'm looking around for one in one of the electronic stores. hope i find a good deal
faheemthedream2007 I strongly recommend Amazon!
Same now I'm getting this!
Fantastic review thank you Mr Brownlee. I am sold on this unit, based on your comments in this review. The points you cover are "real world" ones, which relate to day to day uses, that most people like me would pay attention to, and not in depth technical ones, that only serious techies would worry about. Thank you sir.
You are amazing! I really like your reviews and the way you talk and articulate.
Watching this with my nexus 😁
and you have 7 upvotes wooot (nexus 7)
***** 8*
Could you put CyanogenMod on this *****? Is it posiible?
Extremely informative, clear and well-produced videos.
The one place I go for solid and accurate reviews! Thanks!
Can you do a Neuxs 7 (2013) in 2017 video?
2019!
Who's here!! After watching Google Tablet video from MKBHD 😁
I watch a lot of your reviews as you seem to break down the points I am looking to have answered. Thanks.
A truly outstanding review Marques. Thank you......JD
anyone who still uses nexus device
me
I’m looking to pick a 3G one up for android auto use
Andrew Carfax-Foster You could tether your phone to a wifi version.
me with nexus 7 1st gen
I still use this tablet and miss the Nexus line.
I believe the Nexus 7 III will be made by HTC. I'm just hopeful it maintains a low price.
There apparently wont be any more Nexus 7's. It's gonna be Nexus 8 this year, they're going an inch larger.
cwuzii That's even better IMO.
rostbeefsndwich Yeah same here, sounds good. I hope they keep the same great specs for low price though.
cwuzii Exactly that's the main reason I'm even looking at it in the first place.
rostbeefsndwich If the next Nexus tablet is a 8" device,I'd rather have the Nexus 2013 version as a 7" tablet is usually more portable. The Nexus 7 with it's 1.5Ghz quad core and 2GB of ram should be enough for the next Android OS update.
Great review, clear and straight to the point I really enjoy your videos for this reason. I picked up a factory refurbished nexus 7 for an awesome price and love it. I agree with u on sound but found it's a non issue as I mostly use sound with headphones or speakers. Also I'd like someone to review covers as these tablets spend most of their lives in them.
I've been trying to pick a tablet for a while now and this video was very encouraging! Thank you!!! definitely going with the nexus 7!!!
Do any of you sleep with a phone or a tablet? Like for listening to music?
Does your mom count as a phone or a tablet?
Lol. I'm guessing she snores?
Your hands... Are humongous
Big gloves
you know what that means right? :D
***** After 8 months of thinking about it.. Humongous hands means.. Humongous socks o.o
Always great reviews, I've noticed you giggle when you mention the battery :)
Love this tablet! Actually got for $194 at best buy over the weekend and it's everything you said and more!
Hey Marques, I need a little bit of help. I am stuck between the 2013 nexus 7 and the galaxy tab 3 8.0
I mainly use my tablet for web browsing, studying, watching youtube videos, gaming and emails etc. I'm 14 years old and am I little strapped for cash,
Please can you help me out?
Adam Leigh Thanks for your advice Adam, you've certainly helped me out with my decision. But I also feel that touchwiz is more user friendly and better for multi-tasking. However the nexus has a far better chipset and half a Gig more RAM i found in my research, so i guess it would be better for gaming and the 1920 x 1200 display will be better too, so i will most prabably go for the nexus now. Thank You Adam.
Connor Pritchard You probably went through with buying the Nexus 7 by now and you did good. Just wanted to give you the heads-up that despite the fact that Samsung's TouchWiz interface looks good and all, it's pretty bloated and hogs lots of your device's resources. A good rule of thumb is to replace it as soon as possible, or to avoid it altogether.
Yes, I've bought the 64GB nexus now. But your saying if I got the tab 3 it would be better to get rid of touch wiz by rooting and installing a custom ROM? Or just doing something like installing Nova launcher of the play store?
No sorry, I meant 32, it's a 64GB ipod that I've just bought aswell. Got lost with each ones storage.
I'm on mine now swell, so glad I got it :-)
Is this still worth buying in 2015
Yes
The 16gig version is close to $100, a huge steal
+mickey rouke I just bought one new for $117
+2 Can Sam just got it today it has upgraded like 4 times to the latest os
+mickey rouke HELL YEAH!
Marques, for a freelancer, you have to be hands down the best reviewer I have come across on youtube! "Most impressive'! A perfect [for lack of a better word] review of Nexus 7 [2013]!
Just found out MKBHD reviews tablets too. Life is good this new year.
This review was so amazing and made me have a great impression of the nexus 7 that I finally did buy it today.
Asus should take you in there marketing program. Not kidding, very nice video, keep up the excellent work man !
Thank you Marques Brownlee for the best review.
Nice review, always good to see how others feel about the new tech before spending
Excelent review, flawless mic recording, I'm suscribing :)
Almost 10 years ago I bought the Nexus 7 2013 very spontaneously and I really loved this tablet. Carried it around with me almost everywhere, especially at university. Played so many games on it and also used it for watching TH-cam, taking notes, lots of reading and many more things. Such an amazing device. 🥰
Same!
I've been fixing them myself till last couple of years when spare parts is hard to come by.
Awesome tablet though
I left mine on my porch for someone to take as a donation, it didn't age well at all, really really bad speakers😂.
What do you have now?
@@mikerodgers7620 iPad Pro since 2019 and very happy with it. But I'd prefer a new powerful Android tablet over the iPad, maybe second ihr third generation Pixel Tablet.
You Marques, are a class act. I have never heard an announcer/rporter that annunciates and articulates as well as you on a TH-cam video. Kudos!
Dr. Robert Jeffries
Dude you are making really good reviews!
Excited getting it on Saturday
Watching this in 2022 with the Nexus 7.
Still a great device with lineage os.
I've just ordered a new one of these after breaking my original. Such a great tablet I'm sticking with it.
same, I love it!
Still using mine and still love it. Everyday use
You always have great reviews. Thanks!
Dude this review rocked. Great job
I'm going to buy this to complement my superb Nexus 5 phone and to replace my iPad 2. I love Android and the Nexus 7 is still a brilliant tablet. Great review!
this guy is a fantastic reviewer! keep up the great work
Some major tech site needs to pick u up on staff. Excellent review, and best of luck to you with your channel.
Great review; one of the best presentation styles I've seen.
Good review dude, just that I was looking for!
Good quality review. Touches on all important aspects, pleasant voice. Thumbs up!
Thanks for the awesome review! I love how well done your reviews are.
dude, I love your reviews. because of this review i am definitely going to be purchasing the nexus 7. thanks for this.
Thanks for the great review Marques!
Great review and very comprehensive - nice job.
I still use this in 2017 to flash custom roms , watch movies and still is just amazing 👊
Great review, I always like this guy's reviews.
It's 2023 and i still have mine and using it on the daily!
Great review as always. You've convinced me to pick one up tomorrow!
I feel like I FORGOT that I need to upgrade to the second generation N7, and I can't wait to pick this guy up! I've been spending a lot of time on my desktop lately, as I upgraded a couple months back, but after lying in bed watching YT tonight on my old N7 I feel like this is a must! Gotta wait until next weekend to pick one up, but I'm looking forward to the upgrade!
Just found my good old Nexus 7, so I decided to rewatch this gem. Good times.
I love my Nexus 7 2013. I will say this about the rear-facing camera, though. I don't use it for taking pictures as much as I use it for scanning documents, worksheets, and homework for college. It makes a great pocket scanner in that sense, if you use the right app for the job! I think it makes the Nexus 7 2013 a bit more productive than the previous design.
Great review! Well all of your reviews are great! Keep up the great work!
This made me fall in love with the nexus line. RIP
Awesome review on a great device! Great as ever the person and the toy:-) I'm using this right now alongside with my old Japanese flip phone? Working great as a duo XD
nice one!! love the London picture on the wall. Glad you have respect for our country ;) good review thanks
@Marques Brownlee I feel like my experience with the nexus 7 gen 1 was plagued with issues with apps that required a rear facing camera. I am happy that a 5mp shooter is included.
Great review Marques.....always on target!!
