The Nexus 7 features a stock Jellybean 4. This will ensure that when new iterations of Android are released in the future, this model should get them first. One of the most exciting elements that this tablet possesses is Google Now. You can open up websites and get your tablet to open up common apps.
There are a number of other ones you can easily install, such as sporting events. Google Now is one of the best new features found in Jellybean and really enhances the OS. Google Play is celebrating its one year anniversary and has claimed an app library of over , and over 5 million ebooks. There are plenty of movies, music, apps, and magazines that you can purchase. Most is US only, which may alienate people who live in Canada and other international markets. Still, Play has the largest selection of Android apps in the world and it is fairly easy to find anything you want.
This is the main reason why iOS appeals to mainstream companies as a viable avenue to generate revenue from their paid content. Most tablets released in the last six months do not have the latest version of the Jellybean Android OS. Most say they will eventually upgrade, but many people are still waiting. There is a great appeal in going with a vanilla tablet without having to root your existing device. The Nexus 7 makes a very good e-reader if you are looking to read pure text.
If you are checking out ebooks or other apps like Pulse, Google Currents, or even Google Books, the reading experience is great. More image heavy content does not translate well on a seven inch screen. For example, comic books, magazines, and newspapers are often too small to effectively read. If you are into ebooks, there is a huge selection found in Google Play. You have a great deal of choice in deciding what companies you want to do business with and can often buy content from different businesses to hunt for deals.
That makes it good for holding for long periods of time, say while reading an ebook. In portrait mode the device is narrow enough to hold one-handed wrapping your fingers around the sides. The side bezels are so tiny that it takes some getting used to at first. The device seems a little more natural in landscape mode with the top and bottom bezels being so large. I was disappointed to see that they changed the back of the 2nd gen Nexus 7. The first one had a faux leather stippled back that was very unique.
The new model has a more generic tablet design with the soft-textured back, but it feels good in-hand, although it is a little slicker than I'd like. The device has a quad-core 1. The rear camera is a new addition, but it's hardly worth the wait. It will take okay pictures but there's no flash and all the pictures I take seem to be a little fuzzy and pixilated; I'd just rather use a real camera—nuts to it. A new feature that I haven't seen elsewhere on tablets is pulse notifications.
There's a little LED light on the front of the Nexus 7 that flashes periodically when you have a new email or notification. Quite handy. The 2nd gen Nexus 7 is blazing fast with the quad-core 1. The speed difference isn't very significant, except for maybe some of the high-end video games. I always thought it was the game's fault, but not so because it plays as smooth as butter on the new Nexus 7.
The 2nd gen Nexus 7 has much better speakers than the first. There are speakers on each side of the device so it has more of a stereo sound.
The speakers are also much louder. They are right where you put your hands, however, so they are prone to being muffled somewhat. Nothing beats a nice pair of Bluetooth headphones The second generation Nexus 7 is the first 7-inch tablet to have a x resolution screen. That equates to an impressive pixels per inch, which is the most of any tablet to date.
The new Nexus 7 takes screen sharpness to an entirely new level. The difference between last year's Nexus is significant, but the returns are less noticeable beyond a certain point.
For instance, the Nexus 7's screen doesn't necessarily appear any better than the iPad 3 or 4's screen. It's hard for the human eye to see much of a difference between pixels per inch and The difference between and is much more noticeable. Text is incredibly clear and easy to read on the 2nd gen Nexus 7. The screen alone makes it one of the best tablets for ereading. The Nexus 7 built-in reading app doesn't allow us to load eBooks from computer's hard drive to it, but only the eBooks purchased from Google Play.
I don't want to offense Google, but the eBooks in Google Play indeed hardly meet our demands. I recommend you copy and paste your books into this folder.
