Tablet specifications

The 2012 release of Google is pressing hard on the tablet market model Nexus 7. Given the characteristics of the top products of that time, the device was priced as a budget Chinese tablet. Moreover, the impact was so strong that the impact was on Apple, which increased the potential of 7-inch tablets and their demand in the market. As a result, born, which Phil Schiller fiercely competed with the same Nexus 7 at the presentation. Across the river, history repeated itself, and Google launched a preemptive strike not only against its leading competitor in the tablet market, but also against all other manufacturers of such devices. The new Nexus turned out to be really cool, but I wouldn’t exchange my iPad mini for a new one. Read more about everything below.

Video review

Simply, with a little relish

Google's hardware products seem to be very similar. Educate yourself without any special thoughts, but don’t give rise to negative emotions. Just good things without pretensions to high design or any chic. The new Nexus 7 does not stand out from the dark flow, but rather from the singing world. It looks everyday like the original Nexus 7, although technically the device is still unique, which could not be said about the first generation Google tablet. We'll get to the technical details later, but for now let's take a look at packaging and delivery set.

Before speaking, the packaging of the gadget is important, since people often ask for it from behind the border and keep it in the box, in which way they can get to the client - in one piece or in pieces.

The box is compact and the size is similar to that of an iPad mini box, at least a little smaller. At the top there is a super lining with great details, let’s add to the decorations:

On one of the faces there is a detailed description of the device:

Well, under the super-cladding there is a white box made of very thick cardboard, obviously, it’s not worth worrying about saving the device during postal shipments. There's more to it and the outer shell is made of classic mailing cardboard in a brown color.

The delivery package is not very rich, although the same picture can be seen with the iPad mini. The box, along with the tablet itself, contains a micro-USB cable, a charger and a bunch of papers. Everything is assembled on a thin cardboard stand, but to ensure the width of its edges - a forceful side impact against vandals is unlikely to damage the tablet or the complete accessories:

The manufacturer of the tablet is the ASUS company, which they actively remind you of with the inscriptions on the charger cable:

The Taiwanese logo is etched onto the back of the tablet, and there is a huge, rounded inscription on the back of the tablet. NEXUS he looks dirty.

The front panel is entirely Gorilla Glass, there is nothing fancy here.

And if you are surprised, you can see the front camera with a separate 1.2 megapixel unit, as well as the ambient light sensor. A similar photo module can be installed in the first generation Nexus 7:

A new element has appeared at the bottom of the tablet - a light-emitting diode indicator, which signals by blinking about new information and ideas.

The hardware buttons also include a volume adjustment dial and a life key. They are pressed hard, but they utter a violent click. The order is to open the microphone.

On the upper edge there is a large headphone jack, under it on the back there is a loudspeaker, plus another one - closer to the lower edge. Well, yes, the next generation Nexus 7 comes with stereo speakers. There is also a micro-USB socket on the bottom.

Memory card slot? This has never happened in Nexus 7, and it hasn’t appeared in the new model either. Google continues to troll its users, protecting them “on the market,” although it really wants to limit functionality so that other companies can compete with an inexpensive and powerful tablet. If you're in a bad mood, I recommend getting a model with 32 GB of memory, since when you're young you'll have access to everything close to you 12 GB. With such an abundance of disk space, you can forget about the kinchik in dosage.

There is also another new element on the back panel, and 5 megapixel camera:

Before speaking, the camera is great and great, I tell you. The Nexus 7 is less likely to achieve brightness in bright sunlight than the iPad mini, which also includes a 5-megapixel module.

iPad mini camera results:

Nexus 7 (2013) camera result:

As you can see, at first the picture is clearly yellow and in terms of clarity it is inferior to the other option. Even if I wanted to take pictures without a tripod, my hand might get cold.

The case of Nexus 7 of the latest generation is made of matte plastic, which is easy to handle, does not stick in your hand and is suitable for use on a tablet. Before speaking, the tablet has become significantly thinner than its predecessor, more compact and lighter (200x114x8.65 mm, 290 g versus 198.5x120x10.45 mm, 340 g). The iPad mini is naturally thinner (7.2 mm), although this point is not particularly noticeable:

At the same time, the Apple tablet is much more slimy (especially if you are in sweaty hands). I blamed the problem on the vinyl sticker on the back.

The appearance of the new product was unmistakable, and the same iPad mini, in terms of design and materials, is richly attractive, in my humble opinion. But I can’t say that the Nexus 7 looks cheap, rather, it looks like good simplicity.

The frame should have been changed on all sides (Google designers obviously got the idea from Apple), however, the majestic “woof” of the beast and the little things below was embarrassing. At the right time, people were inveterately calling them “cowbass”. Now the new Nexus 7 can be called exactly the same “cowbass”.

Ale, talk about design, let's talk about more important speeches. About those who are kept under an incomprehensible externality.

"Povniy HD" in seven inches

Last year, Google did not waste time on frills and included a clear IPS display and a 4-core processor in a small tablet. However, as a result, it turned out that Vikoristan was cheap and the SoC model was not very effective. The company has completely accepted the fate, and it has equipped the new product with a practically top-of-the-line “climb” - with a reserve, so you can move it.

Allowed the installation of a 7-inch display based on an IPS matrix 1920x1200 pixels, And the thickness in 323 ppi. For comparison, in iPhone 5 Denmark the parameter is set to 326 ppi, and in iPad 4Gen - 264 ppi. The iPad mini with 163 ppi is hard to imagine.

The high-resolution display of the Nexus 7 (2013) has excellent brightness of 590 nits and contrast ratio of 1300: 1 (in the iPad mini 380 nits and 650: 1). The new picture looks depressing. The shortest display among compact tablets on the market.

In order to mix up all the pixels and “dance” effectively, you need a serious filling, and this time the company managed without compromises. The heart of the tablet is a 4-core SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, Moreover, it is not entirely significant, but the APQ8064 model is based on the Krait 300 computing cores, and not the Krait 200. The 300s are also used in the more productive system-on-chip Snapdragon 600. In fact, The Nexus 7 game is getting hotter or reduced from 1.7 GHz to 1.5 GHz frequency. In the guise of a graphic screecher, vikorist Adreno 320.

What can I say here, around " Bravo, Google!" Looking at the price of the product in the US (at $240), the company made a big deal to all its partners that produce tablets based on Android OS.

Naturally, we don’t talk about “galmakh” in the language system. However, if, after installing my account account, I downloaded the features of Google Play add-ons in automatic mode, then the client seriously crashed, but this is clearly a software problem.

Before we talk, about software. Before I got my hands on the tablet with Android 4.2 OS on board, it immediately popped up after selecting a language and entering a password for the captured Wi-Fi network. " Okay, updating“, I said and pressed the button “I want!” " The device was updated, having forgotten about my choice of language and password for the Wi-Fi network, asking again, after which it started to update again, this time on Android 4.3. What version was installed before - it’s unclear. Android is Android.

Prote, after the update, the system, which is called a mess, has ended, which significantly hides 2 GB of internal RAM (for comparison - 1 GB for the Nexus 7 first generation and 512 MB for the mini iPad).

Among other hardware features of the Nexus 7 of another generation, you can tell about the presence of a Bluetooth 4.0 module, dual-band 802.11a / b / g / n (2.4 and 5 GHz), NFC and an inductive ring for wireless charging (supported by the Qi standard ). The optional LTE module does not support Russian frequencies, but in our realities it can work with the GSM and HSPA protocols.

Evidence of using the mighty Nexus 7

Getting ahead of myself, I will say that the Nexus 7 of another generation is the shortest Android tablet on the market. Moreover, in certain situations, I find it more attractive than the iPad mini.

Zokrema, mova about the changed width of the tablet in line with Apple's solutions, which is clearly visible in the video review of the place. The new product is much easier to handle in one hand, like the iPad mini. Thus, with Nexus 7 it became less difficult to read (AlReader has been working on Windows Mobile for a while, now it works on Android), it is easier to do web surfing and look at a thread on Twitter (Robird is the same for “Robot”).

I can easily wipe the Nexus 7 in one hand and scroll with my thumb. Come out mayzhe yak zi. I have been blessed with this moment.

Another positive point- sound. The Google tablet not only has two speakers installed, but it also sounds great, the bass is inveterate, the TsVK and, happily, pleased. Watching videos and playing games is extremely satisfying. I was afraid that YouTube would show the fool with such permission and smeared the picture (which is an empty Retina iPad), but in reality everything turned out to be much more beautiful - a clearer and smoother image, according to the lover of “This is Good”, ItestedIt and other spluttering channels.

There were no problems with the games either. Having launched the great suvoro navantazhuvalnuyu “zalizo”, a lot of the pasta went through and until the hour of the baked battles, the galmas were not marked. True, the tablet got quite warm in the area of ​​the rear camera.

The high-resolution plan still didn’t have a problem - the game quickly picked up 1920x1200 pixels and showed a huge picture. And the B axis was clearly careful about image interpolation, but it wasn’t very noticeable, and the blurring effect appeared less noticeable than in the iPad with a Retina display with similar interpolation intentions.

Alas, not everything is so rosy in the kingdom of the “Green Robot” and the Google reference tablet. Nuances also appeared.

For example, more than once I have found myself unable to complete my task while surfing the web. She doesn’t ask and that’s all here, as if there is no message there. First of all, it’s a mistake on the touch panel and its sensitivity, saying, worse, lower on the iPad, or putting it in your pouch, but the problem is still in the bundled Chrome browser. Having recognized the “touch” on the screen Veggie Samurai(Analogue, only the rubat is required, and it can be applied to many parts) and without revealing any problems. The touchpad responded more clearly and faster than in the Nexus 4 and up.

other If you don’t have the right moment, you should always erase the clothes from the on-screen buttons and the color of the display will not be open (especially in landscape mode). You can use it to “dance with a tambourine”, organize Root access and install custom firmware, even if you would like to have this capability as standard.


At the top is the status row, at the bottom is a block of on-screen buttons and in the pocket 15% of the display space has gone to nowhere

third The problem with the Nexus 7 is that you can't connect to the Mac at all. Neither MTP nor PTP mode (camera):

I understand that OS X and MTP are not particularly friendly, so why is it important to deprive the good old Mass Storage protocol?

Otherwise, there are no complaints about the device. As I thought of something that is the shortest 7-inch tablet on the market and has no special connection to the platform, then it can become an excellent gadget and assistant in work, a stand-alone reader and Grove console. Anyway, I’m still looking for an iPad mini of another generation, since the only thing better than the iPad is the new iPad, IMHO :). However, Google ordered Apple to deliver a harsh preventive strike, and in the coming months it will clearly dominate the market of compact tablets.

25.02.2014

Allow me to quote from the article:

“Professional reviewers write their reviews on devices seen by their manufacturing companies at the latest hour, and, as a rule, follow a standard scheme” current view \u003d\u003e short review of the installed software \u003d\u003e ій \u003d\u003e leveling with competitors \u003d\u003e "news", and often there are test, non-commercial expressions. The reviewer of the information for an hour and may not be able to show in our review the details that appear more often during the course of ї operation.

And just come to Helpix Reader for it. Having already read one or several reviews of your device, you are aware of all its technical characteristics, and you need your lively opinions from corruption."

Following this, I decided to give more respect to subjective observations rather than to the results of synthetic tests. I would like not only to get to know those from Nexus who do not yet know about it, but also to catch the reader who, having marveled at more than one video, seems to already know everything about the device.

Unpacking and new appearance

Bright-blue box:

The equipment is completely standard: a microUSB cable, a charger and a few papers.

When the screen is turned off, it becomes angry outside the frame. Perhaps this is the same detail that separates expensive tablets from cheap ones.

The back surface is soft and velvety. It's very similar to the Sony Reader PRS-T1, Onyx Boox Maxwell and most other readers. Trimati in Russia is just satisfied!

The purple eye of the camera looks even more elegant. And even if it didn’t look like it, thank Google for the fact that they didn’t forget about it.

There are two speakers at the top and bottom.

At the bottom there is a microUSB port, the inscription ASUS, and ice-ice noticeable inscriptions about the brand, series and IMEI.

On the top edge there is a 3.5 mm jack for headphones.

All physical buttons are on the right side, although their set is completely standard: volume and food buttons.

10 million characters in the full algorithm - on average 10.5 seconds.

Test 2: "Galmy birds".

So, everything is according to the instructions, so I had to dig up an old version: 2.1.1.

I watched it 3 times, but the result was the same: from 7.60 to 7.70 seconds. You'll be right behind the scenes of the game. By the way, in the old version there is no optimization for Full HD resolution.

Test 3: "Great side".

Opera Mobile version 12.0.0.

How greedy she looks! The new version is not adapted for Full HD.

Simultaneously with the launch of the add-on itself, 5.5 seconds. Yesterday I had a chance to spend just 2 times, so the Opera brought the system supplement to the mercy. I had a chance to see it.

Test 4: "Important book."

The book is 6.5 MB, zip fb2.

True, the program version is not 3.0.57-15, but 3.1.2-34.

5.34 seconds.

Operating system

Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

3 boxes of Jelly Bean 4.2.2.

The file system of just what was pulled out of the device box:

There are some bugs. For example, such a simple function as “copy-paste” is often not used; the add-ons that were intended to be copied simply float away. KitKat Qiu has solved the problem.

One of the main advantages of the new version is the clarity of the lower buttons. Use adapted reading apps and third-party launchers.

In this role, the Buzz launcher will be very suitable, and you can read the overview of this post.

It looks simply wonderful here!

Before we talk, about the launcher. With the new version of Android (4.4.2), it has become easier to change them. For this purpose a special menu “Zagalni” has appeared.

There are two curtains at the top: notification and going to settings. So, the transition itself. It would be easier if it were possible to directly activate Bluetooth or GPS, but also because the add-ons, including settings, are revealed in the manual, so we won’t go into this for a moment.

In my opinion, 7 inches is the ideal size for those who like to test various software: both smartphone add-ons and add-ons for tablets look good, however.

Insurance coverage for the richly koristuvach regime

This capability first appeared in version 4.3. Changing accounts is done through the lock screen and takes 1.5-2 seconds.

You can create one of two types of profile: bounded and unbounded.

The skin care provider has its own settings (including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and other communication methods).

Profile with shared access (even if I call you not a vikorist, I’ll trust you above all):

Screenshots of the process of creating and adjusting the new account manager:

These additional data are also individual.

If there is more than one account on the device, in the “memory” section of settings it is displayed how many megabytes each user account takes up.

There are only Google add-ons, otherwise you need to download, otherwise, when installing from the Play Store, the installation is not required, so the program will not take up twice as much space. There is a problem with content synchronization. For example, image, video, audio. I haven’t yet found a way to move something from one account to another. I grumble with gloom. Also, not all programs can be run in a richly insured mode. For example, Mantano Reader appears and closes. Although in general the idea of ​​using a tablet for the whole family is not new, the support of this function on the level of pure Android gives its advantages.

play

Light and medium weights can be used without problems. The only important ones are Real Racing 3 and Asphalt 8. I haven’t played on other devices, but I can say that the brilliance of the sound is simply amazing! There has never been such a galm like this before. When you press the program icon until the first sounds, it takes 11 seconds, and outside interest takes about half a minute.

One problem - Flappy Bird. Don't be stupid, but just lift up the tablet. It’s crazy how the developer managed to make such a simple game of a buggy table. You need to be careful and not close the game too quickly, otherwise you will have to re-lock the tablet. If you want, you can.

What not to write about in reviews

Well, we've come to the end.

When the first thought came to mind about buying a Nexus 7, my interest turned to videos and articles about it. I would like to know the main characteristics before, but purely out of sporting interest. Now I wanted to know more about this gadget. And unfortunately, all the articles and videos said approximately the same thing:

  • good screen;
  • bad camera;
  • a fast processor (which, as it turns out, is not the Snapdragon S4 at all);
  • new stereo speakers;
  • less battery capacity...

    All characteristics have been learned to remember, but I still want to learn more. And after the purchase, the first thing that came to mind was: I didn’t see myself that way at all. Then I started to write down everything unexpectedly. The list of warnings is long, and here I will give just 7 of the most important warnings. It is possible that these points will be applied to all devices on pure Android, but at the same time it will create a secret hatred about the devices.

    1. In front of everyone, the buttons for cooking and food were barking for unmanageable removal. The problem turned out to be much simpler: you can ring in two days, and then all other devices will appear inoperable. In the original case, pressing on them becomes even easier. So for me it’s not a minus of this addition.

    2. Why are Nexus devices so valuable? They are the first to update to new versions. The Nexus 7 box comes with Android 4.3, but then in theory you have to upgrade to KitKat.

    In practice, renewal can only come within a week. And, obviously, in the wake of the new Android, you are forced to read a bunch of reviews, and unanimously talk about such a feature as “Ok, Google” and the new launcher. And after the update, the one thing that immediately catches your eye is the up arrow replacing the circle at the bottom on the unlock screen. A bunch of new icons. And that's all. The main thing that you need to download is the launcher, and in the new we are most aware of what is new in the updated one. Ale vin just got too much. It seems that there are no adaptations for tablets yet, and an update for the Nexus 7 will soon be released, but there is no less contagion. In general, an updated garnet, but not much of the above-mentioned stuff.

    3. Get warm. So, it is often said that in the new Nexus the processor heating is practically reduced to zero. It is possible, at least, to compare with the old version, but at least the tablet will burn your fingers. Judging by the CPU senses add-on, on average the processor temperature is 35-40 degrees, but it can easily reach 65-70 degrees. On the old Sony Xperia Tablet S the temperature was lower.

    4. The frame on the sides is tight. Of course, this is important because the tablet can be easily handled with one hand. Ale and the reverse side: you can easily press it onto the edge with your thumb. Cover it especially if it is more important to do so.

    5. Damaged fingers. SoftTouch-plastic has the power to stain. And as a rule, the more you accept the pill, the greater the separation. Most glances, seemingly about the current appearance, made their way to this “problem”. To be honest, I was a little annoyed when, after taking the device out of the box and playing with it for a little while, I didn’t see the same kind of tickers either on the back panel or on the display. Of course, stains appear over time, but the stench of the tabletops is easily erased, so it’s not worth paying attention to, in my opinion.

    Nexus 7 2013 is probably the best tablet to buy. And if there are special smells, then the stench is entirely positive. Not many people are serious enough to care about robots. In the month that has passed since the day of purchase, Nexus has become an invisible part of life, and now I am happy to thank you for it.

  • I'm tired of looking at the devices that I have to praise. I’ve reconciled more than once that 2013 is a year for a gadget lover, because there’s not much to choose from, it’s simply impossible to choose, no matter where you look - everything is in vain. Chi Varto overreact everything? I don't think so. Just marvel at the remaining flagship smartphones, as well as announcements being prepared for sale. It’s a special episode today, I’m not holding a smartphone in my hands, which I always wanted, but a tablet. More precisely, the best tablet on Android is ASUS Nexus 7 2013 roku roku.

    Chantly, if you can catch up with me, with the drive “crushing”, but that’s my thought. I've been using it for a long time and can't figure out if I'd like some other Android tablet instead of a desktop, so from the very beginning I'll take a look: whenever you need a tablet, get that one. The new product can be called the smallest tablet on the market, if you need a compact version with a 7-8 "display, or compare the Nexus 7 with the iPad Mini. At first glance, the Nexus 7 wins in everything: size, display, speed of operation (!), Ale is the moment, mova about the appendages. , I’m watching on my smartphone or on my computer. After buying it, I’ve been watching on the tablet for an hour - there’s no sound. Until then, on the Nexus 7 it’s easier to watch the video - it’s simply easier to handle in your hands, but the music program axis is still not programmed. битва Android, а ще не розпочата. Але потрібно розуміти, що тільки мені і ще, від сили, одному відсотку користувачів, така функціональність потрібна. Так що пропускаємо. А ось ігри - це більш поширене застосування планшета. Nexus 7 оснащений дуже продуктивним залізом і a gorgeous display - everything to make your gaming experience enjoyable. Ale igor for Android is much less, less for iOS. Great projects, such as Modern Combat 4 or Real Racing 3, are coming out, but indie projects are in trouble. There is practically nothing that I play on iPad, there is nothing for Android. Since everything is worth it to you and you need a tablet for video, browsing, social networks - you don’t have to choose, just look at the Nexus 7. By the way, at the very moment I’m writing this series, before less than two states, another Nexus 7 arrived, but also for korstuvannya. Having requested a parcel post for the help of the service, we will promptly receive a report about him.

    Nexus 7 is a new tablet of the Nexus family, the first device to release a new version of Android OS - 4.3. The new product is already significantly different from its predecessor. The miniature Nexus 7, which was also made by ASUS, was first seen by the artist. They didn’t burn the brightest, but for their money they easily outperformed their competitors. As such, the model has become increasingly popular among geeks. Today everything is different - we have a budget, at our own cost, tablet, which is the best on the market. The last model was in good condition, but there were some flaws associated with the case (creaks, slight bulges in the display, which can be pressed on). Also, Tegra 3 could not be taken into account in the shortest decisions. Now let's admire the body and design of the Nexus 7 2013.

    Design and ergonomics

    The body is plastic, but it’s no less amazing. In fact, everyone who picked up a new product in order to marvel was literally bursting with materials and the complexity of the collection. The back and side parts are one piece. Through it all, the body is tough. As long as you force and deform the structure, you will not feel any creaks. All details are perfectly fitted, nothing sticks out, doesn’t bulge, doesn’t play – a sign for other tablets.

    The back part is made of soft-touch plastic, which prevents the device from getting rough in your hand. However, as it is a large soft-touch surface, greasy marks are clearly visible on it. There won't be any smudges, just like on the gloss, but you won't have to wipe the body. I am glad that the back cover does not bend when the central part is pressed into it.

    The new Nexus 7 has become noticeably thinner, a little thinner. The frames on the top and bottom are too large, I think the body could have been made even more compact. The dimensions of the new and old models are consistent: 114 x 200 x 8.65 and 198.5 x 120 x 10.45. The weight of the tablet is 290 grams, which is 50 grams less than the second model. Trim the tablet vertically with one hand manually; in landscape orientation, the large chin and chin (c) play the role of handles for trimming. The blending of the elements has changed a little, equalized with the other option. Now there is a connector for connecting a headset (which, by the way, is not included in the kit) to the beast, MicroUSB is located at the bottom. The volume control and power buttons are on the right side, the left is occupied only by the SIM card slot if you have a version with LTE. On the back side there is a main 5 MP camera, as well as another speaker. Google has gotten even better at the sound from the speakers, but unfortunately, the HTC One is still far from that. There is no bass at all, the stereo effect is also not particularly rich, since the speakers are located at the back.

    One thing I’ll also point out is that the MicroUSB connector is connected to the SlimPort. With the help of special adapters, you can connect devices with HDMI or D-Sub interfaces.

    display

    Nowadays, it’s almost time to call the Nexus 7 display of another generation the best of all that is installed in tablets and smartphones today. We are talking about the consistency of all parameters: pixel density, brightness, contrast, image quality, proximity to natural colors. I can’t say for sure what the largest display is, but it’s definitely among the best. The Nexus 7 has the highest number of pixels per inch - 323. For comparison, the iPhone 5 has the same number of pixels - 326. Look at it as much as possible, otherwise it’s tediousness. The separate screen size is 1920x1200 pixels, and part of the space is occupied by functional keys for back, home and multitasking. The new thing is that there is an HD display, but it wouldn’t look like a failure, it’s still clearer, it’s still sharper in the iPad mini, or Full HD - it’s just to be different from others. Screen type - IPS. A brightness of 590 nits is sufficient for more comfortable use of the tablet in bright light. The minimum brightness should be kept low so as not to strain the eyes in the dark.

    cameras

    Front camera - 1.3 MP, video at 720p. They stuck it from the center to the right corner, through it, talking on Skype with video, they had to slightly screw up the tablet so that it was in the center. And even worse - the main 5 MP camera appeared on the back. You can record video up to 1080p. The brightness of both cameras is average, but their visibility is definitely a plus. Before speaking, the intensity of the video doesn’t really mean anything, in proportions - better, below photo.



    Technical specifications and software

    The previous generation of Nexus 7 was based on the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and the price could not be taken into account. The new thing is better, the Nexus 7 of the next generation has a good processor. Maybe Snapdragon 600, but not at all. In the middle is the four-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064, which runs at a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz, based on the Krait 300 computing cores (as in the 600). The graphics core is Adreno 320. RAM is 2 GB, assigned for the device - 16 or 32. There are no slots for memory cards, as is also true for nexuses. The tablet turned out to be even faster, it doesn’t sacrifice anything on the iPad 4 and actually surpasses the iPad mini in the speed of work. Games such as Real Racing 3, Dead Trigger and others run on maximum graphics settings. The main thing is that the processor and graphics can easily cope with such a high resolution display. I sincerely respect that when installing everything from Google Play, it does not affect the smoothness of the interface. And so not everyone can use top-end devices.

    The autonomy of the tablet is standard - all the same 10 years, that’s all. Of course, you can discharge the battery to zero much faster, with the help of the RR3, and a capacity of 3950 mAg is available, so that you can go a few days without charging at an average charge.

    Nexus 7 is the first device that can be installed with the latest version of the OS - Android 4.3. The update also arrived on other Google devices, and on the shelves with 4.3 only Nexus 7, which is logical - this is the newest device. How simple and pleasant it is to write without installing anything on top of Android! You will get the best information about your OS, including Google itself. In addition, the device itself is called Nexus, on the rear panel, there is already evidence that everything is new, which Google will release when you have it. It's just wonderful!

    There are not too many external changes in the new version of Android 4.3. Most - profiles with shared access. At the infusion, in the "Prictions" section, there is the item "Koristuvachi". At your place you can create a zvichayny koristuvach, or you can limit the access. This is handy, since the tablet is at home most of the time, and you only use it when you come home from work.

    There's a lot more shit under the hood of Android 4.3. For example, support for Open GL ES 3.0, which is missing neither in Nvidia Tegra 3 nor in Tegra 4. That’s what they wrote in the releases, saying that they won’t be able to run Open GL 3 any time soon, and then bam, and the vikory OS itself! In principle, you can add drivers and I won’t say for sure that none of them will be created. However, in this version of the update of the first generation Nexus 7 there is no support for Open GL ES 3.0. We wrote more about the changes and innovations in Android 4.3.

    accessories

    It’s quite right that Google presented not only the device itself, but also several accessories. A pair of covers, including anti-glare, and two types of flip covers: Travel Cover and Premium Cover. The first option can be in one of six colors, the other - only white and black. Then, the Premium Cover can serve as a stand for the Nexus 7.

    As I said, we have before us a better Android tablet, looking at its brightness, productivity and, of course, versatility. And those who don’t need iOS as I described can happily buy a Nexus 7 of another generation, just like the latest tablet. However, the display may be closer to 8 ", since today's lamps (large smartphones) are already approaching the 7" mark. Take the same Sony Xperia Z Ultra or Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3. And the Nexus 7 doesn't have a speaker, because the phone doesn't have a built-in speaker.

    Pershered Nexus 7, vigus ASUS for shining Google, Z'yavavivaviv in 2012 Rotsi I viclikav the great, I will have a bouu bourgehose, I will have a bunch of nasal: Nexus 7 16 GB sold in the States for $ 250, and for the characteristics of the Buvo Tsilkom compared with the devices of competitors, which were sold two to three times more expensive. At the end of 2013, ASUS and Google presented a new edition of their tablet, which they decided not to change the name Nexus 7, but just added a release date. This tablet really appreciates everything because I’m looking for an Android model to replace the iPad mini, which is less powerful, due to the iOS operating system. So I didn’t wait for favors from nature and immediately washed it away, just like when I showed up in the Spanish Amazon. The version with 32 GB of memory cost less than 257 euros. I would, frankly, not be generous with the version with 64 GB on board, considering the availability of microSD support on this tablet, and, unfortunately, the maximum memory size there is 32 GB. So, ASUS Nexus 7 (2013).

      more productive processor; more stored memory (there were models with WiFi only 8 and 16 GB, but there was a model with 3G with 32 GB); twice as much RAM; a 5 megapixel camera appeared; The display resolution has become FullHD; LTE support has appeared; a light indicator appears; The width of the devices has become narrower by 6 mm; the amount changed to 50 grams; stereo sound appeared; support for Qi and SlimPort has appeared.
    Contents of delivery The box of the Nexus 7 has now become a piercing black color.
    The kit includes: tablet, USB-microUSB cable, hemline adapter, brochure.
    External look and features The entire front part of the tablet is covered with Gorilla Glass. The front camera is now positioned not in the center, but closer to the right edge of the tablet. The back cover of the tablet has a Soft Touch coating. With it, the device lies well in your hand, but its coating is very easy to fray and mar, so get ready for the fact that in a few days the tablet will completely lose its appearance. The bottom end is a microUSB output and stereo speakers.
    The right end is a food button and a dial for adjusting the thickness. Before speaking, the solution is absolutely lousy: it’s very easy to plug in the tablet if you just want to add thickness, and for good measure. Having read the vodguki in Merezhi, there are a lot of koristuvachs to say. Moreover, this kind of expansion, which is more than everything, is explained by the fact that this tablet is mainly oriented to the screen in landscape mode: then the food button appears in front of the animal and is manually pressed with the oppressive finger of the left hand.
    The upper end is the output for a headset and stereo speakers.
    Well, let’s compare the Nexus 7 with the iPad mini. Here you can clearly see that the Nexus 7 has a display aspect ratio of 16:9, and the iPad has a 4:3 aspect ratio. For this drive, to this day, there are baked super points: some respect that the 16:9 format is stronger, lower 4:3, and others insist that everything is strictly in vain.
    I'll tell you this. Since the tablet is mainly used for watching movies, the 16:9 format is more convenient. If it is more suitable for Internet surfing and reading, then 4:3 is more convenient. I washed such a case for this tablet - thinking that it also works as a stand.
    It works like a stand, but only in a horizontal version and the sash is crooked: the lower part needs to be pulled out from the hair covers and inserted into one of the grooves on the left side of the cover. It is not possible to place the tablet vertically, but this is necessary for reading books and PDF documents, so I will look for a different case.
    display IPS display with separate FullHD display and pinpoint power that can be compared to top smartphones - 323 PPI. To put it into perspective, the iPad mini has 162 PPI (but, apparently, the Retina display has not yet been acquired - much to the disappointment of customers). play 120 pixels of curl. As a result, from 1920x1200 it is possible to output FullHD - 1920x1080. And 1920x1200 is available only in full-screen video viewing. Today I look at the video (IPS is not powerful), the color of juice, or natural, the brightness reserve is quite good: in the emergency mode I set the brightness here to 50 percent. The display has an even brighter oleophobic coating, no matter how dirty Eat with your fingers a little less than peeled. I'll get a job As good as Google's "clean" smartphones and tablets are, it's true that installing pure Android on them without buying any additional junk, which, as a rule, is not necessary at close range, and it's impossible to uninstall it without root. (Here is a great shout-out to the developers from Samsung, who have a smartphone-tablet that can’t be seen with the software of the great fakes.) The main desktop.

    Before the speech, according to the Duma of some activists, version Android 4.3 does not have the ability to enable display of battery charge level - this option is usually added to the firmware of flagship smartphones and tablets: Samsung, Sony, HTC and so on. And here is pure Android, so there are no other versions of you. I, in order to turn on this opportunity, the vikorist add-on “Battery in percent”. (Well, and at the same time, before you buy it - “I’ll put the calendar in a row.”)

    Google services folder.

    Installed programs in the system.

    Widgets (there are three screens).

    The area is indicated by the animal's downward swipe gesture.

    The notification area can be switched to adjustment icons.

    List of remaining running applications.

    Screen is locked.

    You can destroy it and enable a number of widgets that will scroll on the lock screen.

    Widget with notes.

    Now let's talk about the most useful additions. keyboard manually, in Russian language there is a button next to it with a dot and a plus with a hyphen and hyphens. (How come the iPad still has the same functionality!) I didn’t want to change the keyboard menu to anything else - it’s already handcrafted and well thought out.

    Hangouts- a new universal messenger from Google. I have Google Talk, Google+ Messenger and Google+ Hangout. In general, the messenger is handy, I can testify. Chats, video conferences, whereby everything, including pictures and video calls, are kept in the dark and can be shared. The history is synchronized with all devices. Group chats and video conferences up to 10 people are also supported.

    Albums-galleries. Images can be selected by places, dates, people and tags.

    The methods of editing are encouraged.

    Google maps. On this display, the cards look simply amazing.

    media. An add-on for subscribing to all kinds of newspapers and magazines via RSS. Chi is not the toughest.

    Google earth- the famous supplement “Planet Earth”. You can see the places there for hours - it’s really cool.


    Google+- Google's social network, where you can now save your photos.

    browser- Google Chrome. It’s very convenient that when you connect a cloud recording, it immediately updates all bookmarks and other settings. Well, with such permission it is completely comfortable to work with sites.

    Google Keep- Use this option to save notes, lists, photos and voice memos. It’s not much more handy, Evernote, in my opinion, it’s an order of magnitude more handy.

    Play Books- supplement for purchasing and reading various publications.

    Zagalom, filth, and much more befits a Cool Reader.

    Before speaking, in landscape mode it is difficult to read in the two-sided version using the 16:9 format. And the axis in portrait mode is normal. music. The add-on allows you to save your music library and synchronize it between your Android devices.

    Before speech, the sound of the tablet is noticeably better, lower than the front. The speakers here are distributed along different edges of the device and become stereo - the tablet sounds even worse. Naturally, the sound comes out flat and does not please with bass, which is not surprising, but without the speakers wheezing, there is no improvement - it sounds like a straight B. And the axis in the headphones was disappointed with the sound: when adjusting the equalizer, it was not possible to achieve decent brightness. The headphones have a sound level of three. The main complaints are lack of bass and flat sound. When the equalizer is turned on, the volume of sound at maximum drops to unpleasant levels: you can no longer hear the sound in a quiet room, without even sounding like it’s flying. Moreover, I have tried different types of headphones - from Ear Pods to Monster Diesel. Video. A standard video player with a gallery does not understand half of the container codecs, so I immediately install MX Player Pro, which reduces the power consumption for a hundred hundred thousand.

    With hardware acceleration, any video, including FullHD, is created without any fuss.

    Camera The heat chamber was added here, perhaps, from a series of “should have been”, so I don’t really understand why it’s needed here. Frontal - so, for video conferencing. And then... However, I have repeatedly met people who widely and harshly photograph those that can be viewed on ten-inch tablets - this type is not at all reasonable. If you want to take photographs, then you need cameras like this. I think that once you install a camera in a backpack, many people will start taking photographs with a backpack. Or a refrigerator. The camera interface is even minimalistic, but no less user-friendly: all additional settings are clicked after being marked with special icons.

    Another mode is to view the gallery of captured photos, which will show those that the camera is currently transmitting.

    The camera captures, frankly speaking, it’s safe. It’s really bad to focus: what’s nearby and what’s on distant objects. Moreover, during the shooting process, it is clear that the focus is crooked. The skin frame has to be worked five times - then you want to go out. When the lighting is poor, there is a motor noise, and the white balance is also often set incorrectly. Axis, have mercy. (These are the selected frames that came out more or less. Everything is clickable.)

    Test with bad light.

    First of all, the day is brightened, the balance is actually poured into the blue.
    The colors are bluish, unnatural. I tse with sleepy lightening.
    The image has been blurry for the entire hour. (No, the side of the cameras is not dirty, I checked.)



    Zagalom, junk, not a camera. Swedish Purely visually, the tablet works like crazy. Scrolling graphics lacks smoothness, but this is an Android problem (as compared to iOS), and not a specific device. Having run the test using Quadrant Pro. The axis result is 5108, which is enemy. The latest model was 3732.

    Testi z Vellamo.

    Hour of autonomous robot The battery capacity in the new model has decreased to the same level as the previous one (3950 mA year, 15 W year versus 4325 mA year, 16 W year). In this case, the processor is more powerful and has made it possible. So many people in the community were afraid that the hour of autonomous robots would change here. However, let me tell you, this is absolutely not true. The hour of autonomous operation of this tablet is not only less, but clearly longer than that of the previous model, perhaps, for the sake of a more efficient SoC (system on a chip). Review video. Turn on the “Flight” mode, the brightness is set to a comfortable 50%, in the player, with hardware acceleration, the TV series is running in a loop. So axis, 11 years 15 years - like one copie! I specially checked if the battery was discharged to zero: the tablet was switched on for 11 years and 15 years - it’s simply miraculous! The front one at 30% brightness, reaching up to 10 years. iPad mini - 10 years 35 years. At 30% brightness, this tablet has been used for 12 years, 52 years - maybe 13 years! It turned out to be 8 years old 33 years ago. Work on the Internet. Turn on Wi-Fi, brightness at 50%, the browser will re-enable the page once every week. 10 years 45 years - it’s still great. Well, it’s purely practical: with the most active use, the tablet will live quietly for a couple of days. In passive mode, the charge is consumed insignificantly: at the same time the charge drops by a couple of hundreds. Caution when working During the testing period, one problematic addition to the tablet emerged - the camera. With her, the vikoristan had a couple of times when the tablet froze to death, and then restarted. The Samsung Galaxy S 4 had similar problems, as far as I remember, before this latest update. On this tablet, the problems with the camera and reset were of a systemic nature, judging by the looks on the Internet, and with the new firmware 4.3 the jambs have improved. Prote I have the newest firmware and have reinstalled the camera a couple of times. Also, when the camera is turned off, the lower right corner heats up noticeably (in horizontal mode) - the trim of the tablet becomes unacceptable. This is true if there are some kind of resource-based additions - for example, an “important” toy.
    We haven’t discovered any other problems. visnovki I was very pleased with the tablet. The same model as the previous one, which itself was even worse, had a lot of noticeable excesses. Only the front camera was disappointing, but on the other hand, is it really needed? Well, I would like microSD support, but with 32 gigabytes on board, you can still live. At the same time, the situation is no longer the same as it was when the first Nexus 7 was released: competitors have significantly reduced prices for their tablets, which is on guard against increasing diversity. However, let’s put it this way, you won’t get such a painstaking set for such a price. For example, the seven-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 costs $179 in the States, but the new one is much weaker in all respects. The eight-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 costs $280, and the new one has better specifications. So for such a small price, in my opinion, it’s a very good option. Do you need to replace the previous Nexus 7 with the 2013 model? Tse is guilty of virishuvati for oneself. But compared to the old model, almost all the parameters have been noticeably improved, so maybe this makes sense. Well, one more thing, especially relevant for me: why should I replace the iPad mini with this Nexus 7? Let's say so. I am 100% more likely to, because an Android tablet (especially a Danish one) is more suitable than an iPad with iOS. One problem that is not solved at the moment is the availability of “Kiosk” programs under Android (or its analogue). Moreover, while some of the magazines that I read on the iPad can be easily read on Android in their online versions, some other magazines - Empire Russia and Total DVD - are not published in online versions, there is a single compromise - their editions are in PDF, but not come up. Only those that I cannot yet find out where and how I can officially purchase them in PDF format are not suitable.

    Over the course of two years of its existence, it has won a large audience and the title of the most popular gadget in its segment. For the computer market, this has become an irresistible concept, so it was practically impossible to buy an inexpensive device with an effective filling and regular updates from a well-known brand.

    After the appearance of the economical and convenient ASUS Google Nexus 7 on the remaining Android platform, many people were able to try the powerful multimedia assistant for reading, playing, surfing the Internet and watching videos - The gadget can handle everything easily and without problems.

    After the release, “Nexus 7” became a real headache for Apple, having become a strong competitor to the iPad mini. After the rapid merger of two famous brands “Google” and “Asus”, their offspring will occupy close to 10% of the entire Android device market in the coming month, which is more This is a display for one ASUS Nexus 7. The price of the device ranges from 10,000 rubles , which also makes many competitors in the segment nervous.

    “Google” is now acquiring a Taiwanese company as a partner, and it’s not surprising: with it we have a lot of evidence in the field of tablets, buying with a clear selection and obviously inexpensive materials to spoil the use of the edge him for both sides.

    The flagship ASUS Nexus 7 2013 32Gb has saved large proportions, but looks more compact, and the technical characteristics have been significantly improved. First of all, Vlasnik will touch upon the new screen, which, having removed the larger part, has saved the diagonal. Here you can add a new generation processor, double the amount of RAM for the device, increase autonomy and the appearance of another camera in addition to the front one.

    Along with the announcement of the new tablet, Google presented an updated version of Android, and at the same time, with all the software, removed the touchscreen of the ASUS Nexus 7. The gadget with all its characteristics became a dangerous and dangerous argument in the struggle between Google and Apple. People say they have positive emotions, and judging by their strength and vibrancy, the new gadget is in a clearly superior position to similar devices from Apple.

    The pricing policy of the new model is less favorable for the average consumer. For example, ASUS Nexus 7, the price of which ranges from 12 thousand. Rublev, there may be 32 GB of internal memory and a full-sized 3G network, and a more modest option with less memory will cost about 8-9 thousand.

    Design

    The new gadget did not have any significant changes in terms of design compared to previous models. The ASUS tablet is easy to recognize with its designs, but it still couldn’t be done without some additional steps.

    The very concept of the long device with smooth contours and added side edges was not touched upon, but the new device is now thinner, and apparently, less than 50 m, the “Nexus 7” has become more portable in terms of mobility, its possible brother and with myself, having dove into the jelly jackets or jackets.

    Just like in previous models, the back of the tablet is made of soft-touch plastic. The top has a dark tint and, judging from the lips of the hairdressers, continues to pick up the taps of fingers and saws. The original little one, previously present on the fifth and sixth versions, is no longer there, now the surface is smooth, behind a branded stamping in the center of the device with the name of the series.

    Many painters marvel at why designers decided to use an original and visually appealing surface, replacing it with a more utilitarian smooth surface, wasting the design decision Nya.

    Equal to its predecessors, the ASUS Google Nexus 7 is slightly higher, and the width of the device has been slightly changed. The difference may not be as noticeable visually, but now the gadget has become easier to carry around and just hold in your hands. The ergonomics have been significantly improved, but the device can be operated with two hands, as before.

    collection

    The overall response to the collection is positive, but with one nuance, which is often noted by participants: when you press on the screen at the bottom of the tablet, the device makes an alarming creaking sound. The previous lines suffered from similar shortcomings, but in terms of functionality and adaptability to the device this moment was not improved, since it was not specially “rubbed” in this place, and there will be no clicking noise.

    The Android Authority laboratory recently conducted a crash test of the ASUS Nexus 7 32Gb 3G. Ratings were given for each pouch, according to which the tablet was entered until the critical devices were leveled. When dropped from the height of a person on a concrete / asphalt surface, the model suffered damage to the body (scars, cracks, scratches), otherwise the robot did not have any problems, so repairs would cost little.

    interfaces

    The control elements of the ASUS Nexus 7 32Gb 3G are designed correctly and do not interfere with the operation of the device. On the left side you can operate the dial, volume control, and screen lock button. It’s easy to press on them, you need to pick the place wisely, allowing you to handle them blindly.

    The headphone jack is located at the top end, and the microUSB port is at the bottom, so that when all the wires are connected, neither one nor the other will be affected.

    screen

    ASUS Nexus 7 32Gb is equipped with a 7-inch screen with a separate IPS matrix and a resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels with a power of 323 ppi, which is close to the level of top-end smartphone models. Moreover, in terms of pixel density, the Nexus 7 outperforms almost all tablets, both small and large.

    For example, the same iPad mini from Apple can boast only 162 points, so the new product from Google presents the images clearly more clearly, not from the Apple company.

    display features

    The characteristics and characteristics of the equipment indicate a large supply of brightness and a reasonable automatic control system. The touch screens of the ASUS Nexus 7 are also impressive: the screen is sensitive to the imprint, it is easy to handle either with mittens or with wet hands. The leaders of the “Nexus” appear on the extra-wide frames around the screen, which is especially noticeable when viewing a bright and intense video. But the problem often arises when using the device in landscape format.

    As a result of the display, engineers equipped the device with practical and reliable coatings similar to what is found in many high-end devices.

    According to the experts, the dimensions of the gadget and the display are not so large, but handling it with one hand is not so comfortable, although, aligned with the front line, it has become easier to handle the device in the hand - the width of the case is small.

    zv'azok

    ASUS Nexus 7 can work with 3G connections, and there will be no problems with our mobile operators in terms of availability or inconsistency. For stationary data transfer, you can use the microUSB port located on the bottom end.

    In the core of the drone-less device there is a connection of transmissions with a Wi-Fi 802.11 module at points b / g / n, as an alternative to Bluetooth version 4 due to reduced electricity consumption. The continued usefulness of the tablet was appreciated in the positive effects of rich people.

    media

    It’s easy to say that the ASUS Nexus 7 really pleases the browser, and the performance is very high. Whether scaling, following instructions, the larynx and other activities during web surfing are performed absolutely without delay or any hiccups.

    The same can be said about the majority of games that thrive on this platform, showing high FPS.

    The bright screen allows you to watch high resolution videos in 1080p without blurring or blurring, but without being surprised by the good filling, the software built into ASUS Nexus 7 and codecs cannot be used with any formats, and ki koristuvachі svérnі podіdі vіnі vіtіnі vіrіnі v і vіdіrіdіvі dіdіdkіvіtov .

    The tablet has recently implemented a new speaker system, which produces more or less clear sound from the top and bottom of the device, thereby reducing the volume of the sound. The gadget's reserve capacity is decent, and if necessary, you can use it in the capacity of a small music speaker here as a last resort.

    Autonomous robot

    The battery capacity is enviable - 3950 mAg. The device performs much better than models from previous lines and shows poor results. At maximum brightness when watching a video in HD quality, the device lasted for about eight years.

    Indicators with average attention fluctuate between 1-2 days, and if you use the gadget sporadically, you can extend it even further. For these parts, the tablet is not sacrificed to its closest competitors, except for the iPad mini, and the remote charging function is a rare feature in today's world, which is why a lot of customers are positively enjoying iv.

    Supply pouches

    The new model from two famous brands came out great: the gadget became thicker, more compact, productivity and other parameters significantly improved. Here you can give a friend a camera or a rear-view display. For the price you ask in stores, you get an extremely balanced product in its class.

    Depending on the amount of memory (16/32 GB) and the availability of edge modules, devices can be added for 150 to 200 dollars. Generally speaking, the Nexus 7 is one of the best models for the money. We can recommend the device to everyone who is looking for a balance between all the parameters of the device, both for work and for entertainment.
