What not to write about in reviews

More recently, the first official 7-inch tablet based on the Android operating system appeared, representing an expansion of the Nexus line of devices, which previously included smartphones that were so successful that they were considered a hot feast They are not only software developers, but also primary koristuvachs. In connection with this, the companies ASUS and Google became good friends and immediately began to develop the device of the next generation, which would inevitably surpass its predecessor in all possible parameters.

The appearance of new models, undoubtedly, everyone was waiting for, and the moment of truth became a moment of fate when Google officially presented ASUS /GoogleNexus 7 (2013). The new product, as it turns out, was available only in Western America, and at a very reasonable price - $269 for a model with Wi-Fi and storage for 32 GB. In Ukraine, the start of official sales began in the spring, although the price tag for the same model rose to 3,000 UAH ($365), which is noticeably more expensive, but still just as acceptable.

Supply, equipment and accessories

The tablet is delivered in the same cardboard packaging as the predecessor, only more compact and decorated in a richer color scheme, which, of course, matches with all other versions of the Android OS. So, the main box of Vikonan is made of thick cardboard in a white color, and the beast is lined with thinner cardboard, coated in a black color.

On the front side there is a special image of the device, the frame of which, as before, shows the number “7”, as well as the Google logo. The bottom line is a short description of the performance of ASUS / Google Nexus 7 in connection with the proprietary services of the software giant. Brief technical specifications are included on a sticker on the lower side.

The delivery package is modest and, in addition to the tablet itself, includes only a charger with a USB↔micro-USB cable, a booklet with information about warranty claims and a leaflet indicating the replacement of the item ів on the body. The version with an LTE module will also have a special tool for connecting a Micro-SIM card.

In addition, ASUS offers, for an additional fee, the purchase of a number of brown accessories, including a pair of covers and brand-name plastics.

The simpler ASUS Travel Cover, made of silicone in dark grey, red, rye, yellow, light green or black, perfectly protects the front and front side of the tablet, both in emergency situations and in emergencies, such as when you fall i. Moreover, the lining does not exceed the capabilities of wireless charging of the battery.

ASUS Premium Cover is made from microfiber and polyurethane. It has a more rigid design with a hinged segmented cover, which allows you to turn the cover into a manual stand, which will make it much more comfortable to watch videos and type text. Like the ASUS Travel Cover, this model ensures good protection of the tablet during the charging process and allows for wireless charging.

At the end of the day, it was no longer necessary to select two dry coatings for the primary (glossy) and matte (anti-glare) coatings. The stench has a 90-percent purity and is characterized by a 5-ball structure that transcends the appearance of rags and a large number of fingertips. It is important to note that they contain an ultraviolet filter.

External look, reshaping of elements

The ASUS / Google Nexus 7 tablet of another generation, identical to the previous model, has actually changed to be more beautiful on the visual side, and it can be seen with the naked eye. Even though it has become more refined and, as one might say, more complete, the shape and density of the materials vary in color and structure. Moreover, a noticeable change in the thickness, width and weight of the body, which is now only 8.65 mm, 15 mm and 290 g versus 10.45 mm, 20 mm and 340 g, has brought significant improvements to the ergonomic storage of the tablet, be unimportant a little has grown up, which, before speaking, may appear as a positive moment for the rich.

The new Nexus 7 is much more handy in a preferred vertical orientation, since the tablet can be easily handled with one hand, with your fingers tucked behind the sides, and in a horizontal orientation, if you can There is a screaming grip that allows you to inadvertently release the device.

Since the front side of the tablet, which has lost its gray edges and boasts small edges on both sides of the display, has lost everything covered with a dry chip of Corning Glass, which is difficult to cope with when smudges appear, the back side is now presented \u200bsmooth, little sparkles » We accept the panel on the soft-touch dot. After all, ASUS / Google Nexus 7 (2013) is completely unacceptable. We remember that in the first generation, for this part, the body of the vikorist had to add heavily rubberized plastic with a dotted visor.

The body of the tablet, although it is not too dry, is not smeared, and this is very good, because the fingertips are practically invisible, but the dark plastic actively attracts all sorts of saws. This is especially true after placing the device on a sofa or chair with fabric upholstery. However, it is not difficult to work with it, as, in principle, is the solution to the padding on the front panel, such as water-based oleophobic coatings.

In addition, the new product from ASUS and Google can please you with its exceptionally flexible assembly and very good rigid design, which does not cause the characteristic crunching when testing by pressing or torsion, although They are not rich and are susceptible to deformation. It is hard to withstand the pressure and with a strong pressure it does not press on anything, which means that the appearance of any separation on the display is turned off. However, the glass panel has one shortcoming - it does not fit tightly enough to the glossy surface, there is a small edging protruding through which saws can get in, although on the other side it is better to turn the edge so that the edge appears And when the tablet is dropped on its edge from a low height.

On the front side of the Nexus 7 (2013), completely covered by a hard glass, in addition to the display itself, there is a light sensor and a front camera, which is now not positioned in the center of the vertical axis, but slightly shifted to the right. These two elements are located above the display, while underneath it there is a very noticeable LED indicator that informs about missed steps, gently burning once in the skin for 12 seconds. It is important to note that the indication will always be a white color, regardless of the type of color.

In the uppermost corner of the rear side there is a main camera, which was not present in the original Nexus 7. It is framed by a large lens, and is located in its well-appointed LED bedroom. At the central part there is a logo of the Nexus family, spread out along the vertical axis, and in the lower part there is a small logo of the manufacturer, under which certification marks are applied. In addition, the upper and lower parts have meshes that receive stereo speakers.

The side edges of the tablet are manually rounded, so the left one, having lost the magnetic connector for the docking station, is completely empty, and the right one, as before, has a lock/lock button and an adjustment dial thickness. There is also a single microphone on this side (and a slot for installing a Micro-SIM card in a model with an integrated LTE module). There are traditionally no slots for microSD memory cards.

At the bottom, exactly in the center, there is only a micro-USB port with SlimPort and OTG support. The 3.5 mm mini-jack audio connection in the new Nexus 7 has moved to the top edge.

It is important to note that to the micro-USB port, if there is a cable adapter, you can easily connect peripheral devices such as bears, keyboards and joysticks. To connect flash drives, you will need to remove Root rights or install Nexus Media Importer or Total Commander with the USB Stick Plugin-TC plugin.

display

Like the previous model, ASUS / Google Nexus 7 (2013) is equipped with a 7-inch display, which is now not the most important feature of the new product, which is seen among the lack of devices of a similar form factor.

The base display is on a marvelous IPS matrix with a record diagonal for this diagonal of 1920 by 1200 pixels, slightly exceeding the Full HD standard. The pixel density reaches 323 ppi. What else is enough to create even a detailed image, as before, without the need for a wind scouring between the display and the dry glass, it literally lies on the surface, which significantly contributes to the acidity of the spray.

Of course, the screen created will delight you with its miraculous rendering of color and wide cuts of view. The water is illuminated with high brightness and can be adjusted over a wide range either manually or automatically. In general, it can be practiced without any special problems, both in the darkest hour and under the bright sun.

Sensory lining, designed to process up to 10 one-hour dots, provides exceptional sensitivity. The torcannia is cleared instantly, and requests for mercy are practically not avoided. It is also important to take into account the dryness, which is characterized by an oleophobic coating, which is more comfortable for a smooth and easily knurled finger and makes it easier to reduce the risk of losing the padding.

The sound subsystem of the tablet is represented by two speakers, located at the upper and lower parts of the front side. When the Nexus 7 is placed in a horizontal orientation, it will provide clearer stereo sound, which significantly increases the level of “compression” in those displayed on the screen, especially in games. Of course, in some cases it is possible to close the speaker grilles, but, not surprisingly, it is rare to get enough. Then the stench will have a high reserve of vitriol and add a charcoal sound, perhaps one of the shortest parts of the tablets, and for the price, contact the representatives of the company Fraunhofer IIS, who have worked on the audio parts of the tablet and I use Fraunhofer Cingo technology. After all, it’s nice not only to play your favorite games, but also to listen to music, watch videos, in which you don’t have to worry about the appearance of any noticeable problems.

With the use of headphones, the sound becomes even clearer, which, in principle, makes sense. ASUS / Google Nexus 7 (2013) built without problems cope with the received sound, both on low-impedance and high-impedance headphones, and in settings of a standard audio player, although not rich, in which case you can adjust the equalizer or sound strength of low frequencies.

Another innovation in the new product from ASUS and Google was the appearance of a main 5-megapixel camera, which is based on a module with rear sensor sensors and aperture f/2.4, which allows you to capture detailed images in very low light conditions. In addition, there is an automatic focusing system and the ability to record video in 1080p format, which cannot but please. Unfortunately, there was no place for the light-colored sleeping area.

The front camera module will no longer be the same as before. A lot of this growth has changed, so when you use Google Hangouts or Skype, you'll get a little bit of a break. The resolution is 1.2 megapixels, which allows you to record video in 720p format, and the average level of detail is completely sufficient for comfortable video communication.

The addition of a camera in the new version of the operating system has been significantly updated, however, it does not introduce any new or distinctive features. It’s more likely that it’s not very easy to navigate the new menu, which opens in any place on the screen with the help of a long tap.

ASUS / Google Nexus 7 (2013) is the first device in the world to come with the pre-installed Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system, however, starting from the 13th autumn, an OTA update to the new “chocolate” Android 4.4 KitKat became available, yake bulo presented simultaneously with the announcement of LG / Google Nexus 5. The prote, which is based on a “jelly” OS, which, literally, has a unique adaptation to a display with a high level of complexity.

Among the most important innovations in the first place is the possibility of creating personalized profiles. True, there are only those on tablets, but there are also more insurance premiums for rich consumers and not smartphones. Thus, creating a profile, for example, for a child, you can limit access to any program, as well as include the possibility of making internal in-game payments, or any extensions.

The most popular update now has a “dialer”, available in smartphones and tablets equipped with radio modules. Now there is an auto-fill function, and when you dial a number or name, all your contacts are displayed on the screen, as are those in your address book.

With the increased use of autonomous devices that actively rely on Bluetooth connections with various accessories, there has been support for new Bluetooth Smart technology, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy. Additionally, it supports the Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 profile, which allows you to display information on the car audio system display.

A new function has appeared when using Wi-Fi, which allows the operating system to use this module for more accurate geopositioning, which allows you to navigate to Wi-Fi points without turning on and connecting.

On the graphical side, the main innovations were support for the OpenGL ES 3.0 standard, which helps to utilize the resources of large devices as efficiently as possible, thereby creating a clearer picture.

Information about the features of the new Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is presented on the official website of the operating system, and it is immediately clear that in practice the most popular feature will become more and more popular OS shell robot. Add-ons, both proprietary and third-party, have also begun to launch more quickly.

The set of pre-installed add-ons, considering the specifics of Nexus devices that come with a “bare” OS, is small and includes only system programs and Google service clients. Everything is left in the hands of the customer, and for whom, with 32 GB of internal memory, a maximum of 26.5 GB is seen.

Hardware platform and productivity

The “heart” of the tablet is a lot of modifications of the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, and the APQ8064-1AA itself, which, in terms of productivity, is as close as possible to the new Snapdragon 600. It is based on several Krait 300 cores, which operate at a clock frequency of up to 1 500 MHz, which is practical? In all cases there is more than enough. The graphics are driven by a Qualcomm Adreno 320 graphics processor. It is quad-core, runs at a frequency of up to 400 MHz, and an important feature is support for the OpenGL ES 3.0 API, the program for which was introduced lyki in Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The amount of RAM in the new Nexus 7 is 2 GB, with either 16 GB or 32 GB available.

Unfortunately, we don’t expect any record performance in terms of productivity for ASUS / Google Nexus 7 (2013), considering that it is a modified, but still not a “top-end” processor. Prote, the line of such a level comes to mind for almost all daily tablet tasks, which require many different additions for working with documents, notes, maps, the Internet, media files, etc., and all kinds of games, including the grounds on the new API.

One of them is Asphalt 8: On top, which at high graphics settings looks really hostile. It is especially important in dynamics when a large number of barvy effects are displayed on the screen. Real Racing 3 and the recently released shooter Dear Trigger 2 look very good, but all their potential can only be revealed on the NVDIA Tegra 4 platform.

Communications

The set of communication capabilities, as demonstrated by ASUS / Google Nexus 7 (2013), is very rich and includes practically everything necessary for full-fledged work in the modern digital world. Thus, in addition to standard Bluetooth V4.0 wireless communication modules and Wi-Fi, which supports 802.11b / g / n protocols and operates in two frequency ranges (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), it will obviously be enough to Another popular NFC option, in this category of names, is “Android Beam”. Present and DLNA support. Until now, only infraworm transmission is available for working with various everyday equipment.

Before speaking, search for Wi-Fi hotspots and connect to them quickly. With this installed, the signal is guaranteed to be resistant to the appearance of various errors, however, the speed of data transmission is in the minimum distance from the Wi-Fi point of the home network. nominally low and become close to 30-35 Mbit / s (with underground wire lines at 100 Mbit/s). However, it can be affected by a variety of factors, and, first of all, it can cause strong interference in the ether.

To identify your location on the global map of the world, support for GPS and GLONASS systems has been provided to search for and connect to satellites that are less likely to be found in the territory. For example, in just under an hour we managed to recognize about 20 satellites and connect to more than a dozen of them. However, if located in a living high-surface booth, the search for satellites may not be successful at all, depending on the strong shielding of the signal.

It is also important to note that the new Nexus 7 is available in a modification with a 4G LTE module, and the Qualcomm Gobi MDM9215M, which provides the ability to work both in GSM / 3G networks and in American / European networks 4G LTE with peak data transfer speed up to 100 Mbit/s.

Autonomous robot

The tablet is equipped with a small lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 3950 mA year (15 W year) and a voltage of 3.8 V. In general, this is a bad value for a compact 7-inch device, even if it’s a little less than that in the first generation of the tablet - 4325 mA year (16 W year).

The results of an hour of autonomous work turned out to be quite good, especially in the case of not so resource-intensive tasks. So, ASUS / Google Nexus 7 with cyclical HD video, with the help of the MX Player program with half the brightness of the display and the Wi-Fi module turned on, is expected to live for more than 10 years, which is enough for viewing at least 3-4 full-length pages icon.

In the AnTuTu Tester benchmark, the new product scored 403 points, having discharged to 19% in just 2 years and 15 minutes, which is no longer so pleasing. With active gaming and not the maximum brightness of the display, the operating hour can be extended to 3-4 years. In mixed mode, a single charge of the battery lasts for approximately 6-8 years, or at least two hours will be measured. With more lenient capabilities of the Nexus 7, you can live for three years.

The hour of full charging of the battery in the complete life-saving unit will be approximately 3.5 years, and the axis during constant drone-free charging will inevitably increase, resulting in a change in the transmission efficiency.

“Live” photos will be added

pouches

Another generation of official Android tablet, such as ASUS /GoogleNexus 7 (2013) As a successor to this, he is one of the shortest representatives of this class on the market, which is not the most consistent price up to the given number of possibilities.

The new product has acquired a narrower and lighter body, but has grown slightly in height, and has also become more plastic for the majority of the mobile phone, which has noticeably short tactile properties. However, a much more important feature of the tablet is its display. Now it’s a truly wonderful matrix with variable color rendering, wide angles of view and a split size of 1920 by 1200 pixels, which allows you to capture even more detailed images as an output. The hardware has also been significantly updated, now represented by a productive quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with an integrated graphics processor Adreno 320, which supports the OpenGL ES 3.0 API standard, we will introduce in the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system, as in its own way, the basis for Nexus 7 (2013).

In addition, among the important and great innovations, it is necessary to see the appearance of a bad main 5-megapixel camera and great bright stereo speakers, the sound of which is attributed to Fraunhofer IIS. Of course, there is a good range of communication capabilities, including a rich 4G LTE module available in every tablet model, and a lot more.

While there are a few, there are few of them and the greatest value is traditional for Nexus devices. slots for microSD cards. However, looking at the great number of victories, all the stinks overlap too much.

advantages:

  • nicer visual design and good ergonomics;
  • tactile sensations from vicorized materials;
  • lightweight and thin body aligned with the front;
  • marvelous IPS display with separate 1920 by 1200 pixels;
  • high level of productivity, support for API OpenGL ES 3.0;
  • loud and clear acoustic subsystem;
  • current version of the operating system + first-generation updates;
  • visibility of the main 5-megapixel camera;
  • USB OTG support, even a little bit interconnected;
  • availability of all necessary communication technologies, including the optional high-bandwidth 4G LTE module;
  • The obvious disadvantage of autonomous robots at low levels of demand;
  • The product is already well received on the American market.

features:

  • Possibility of drone-free battery charging;
  • The notification indicator will light only in white color;
  • SlimPort support for connecting an external display.

shortcomings:

  • availability of microSD card slot;
  • in such situations the dynamics can easily be covered up;
  • three-hour battery charging time;
  • The wide border of the short sides of the display emphasizes the design.

This is due to the company ASUSTeK Computer Inc. for the instructions for testing the tablet.

The line of mobile devices under the name Nexus began its history in 2010. Its founder was the Google company. It depends on what brand the devices will be sold under. Buyers can now become familiar with gadgets from the Samsung, HTC, Asus, and LG brands. Of course, these devices have a lot of advantages. First of all, we would like to encourage you to update Google (and the locals count them among the first ones) and the original Android operating system without any shells or other “things”.

Since 2010, a number of smartphones in the Nexus line have been released. And since 2012, tablets began to go on sale. An expensive option, equipped with a 10" display, manufactured by the Korean company Samsung. The device is also more modest. It is presented under the equally famous Asus brand. The tablet was sold at an affordable price - about 10,000 rubles. It was equipped with not the same characteristics. it didn't stick on yogo popularity. Asus Google Nexus 7 after the start of sales on the domestic market, it immediately fell in love with buyers.

positioning

When developing mobile devices, developers are guided by simple rules. In order for a new gadget to quickly become a sales leader, it is necessary to optimally balance the price and cost ratio. If we look at the market of mobile digital devices in detail, then there are not so many such solutions presented. Most of the cheap devices are made in China. The smells are attractive at a low price, but despite the characteristics of the distributors, the emphasis is on just one thing. Such an element itself is seen in this gadget among a number of similar devices, for example, a durable battery, a high-profile screen, and a productive chipset. In this case, other characteristics are lost on par with the budget segment.

And when purchasing an Asus Nexus 7 tablet, the buyer is guaranteed to receive a functional device for a pleasant experience. It has practically no competitors in its price category. The publisher confirms that all devices in the Nexus line offer high viscosity, good productivity and a wide range of installed software.

The first generation of tablet of this model was released back in 2012. Through the river, an updated version has appeared on the market. Apparently, it gave a special assessment to the criteria of collection speed, software security and data processing speed. Due to the low expectations, the target audience turned out to be quite varied. Age range - from 7 to 50 years. The best thing, according to buyers, is a 7-inch screen. Zavdyaki yomu tablet vyishov dosit compact. Its size (20 × 11.4 × 0.86 cm) allows you to carry the device either in a small bag or in a casserole.

After the release of Asus Nexus 7 (LTE and Wi-Fi), sales of the Apple iPad mini dropped sharply. And this did not surprise the experts at all, as the partnership of two world giants Google and Asus is seeing excellent results. It was not only the American Apple that was nervous, but also other famous brands.

Design

When taking a detailed look at the tablet’s exterior design, you can immediately notice that the designers did not choose the most expensive materials. However, the harshness of the plastic did not affect the aesthetics. Another generation of Asus Nexus 7 introduced perforation of the rear panel. The advantage is not enough - it’s difficult to judge. The offensive options look bad, but in the modification of 2013, the cap began to “collect” the fingertips. Therefore, in equal measure, the updated version is being sacrificed to the predecessor. If there is a problem with hand-holding, then the tablet does not feel awkward in your hands, so there is a risk of allowing your input to a minimum.

Most people in power were immediately impressed by the size of the gadget. Vin looks to finish it carefully. In their opinion, they call the tablet light, thin and compact. The designers managed to change the side edges thoroughly, so the Asus Nexus 7 is easy to handle with one hand of average size.

The front panel is occupied by a large screen. They are framed with a black frame, which clearly expands at the upper and lower ends. On the back cover there is the name of the line (in the center) and the brand of the vibrator (left). There are also symmetrically arranged speakers along the edges of the panel. For ease of operation, all control keys are placed on the top end. Connection to a PC is possible using an additional USB cable. The main retrieval port is on the right side. On the front side there is a socket for audio devices equipped with a 3.5 mm plug.

display features

Retailers installed a decent display in the Asus Nexus 7. They vikorized the expansion of the matrix type - IPS. This technology is already known to many koristuvachs. It will provide a high level of color, a wide range of eyes. When the phone is damaged, converting the phone is not prevented.

Screen resolution - 1920 × 1200 px. Due to the fact that the diagonal is 7", the number of pixels per inch can reach 323 ppi. With the help of koristuvachev, you can create original songs. The tablet is ideal for watching movies in photographs. The quality of the image is different. To protect the screen, a glass plate is used. It has a smooth surface with a mirror coating. The surface is rubbed between the matrix and the dry layer itself. The Viclichas of the Viclitsuynnya Ophtykhktyv.

The display of Asus Nexus 7 32 Gb is equipped with a large supply of brightness. This will ensure the perfect image of the picture even with too much lightening. For example, if you are outside in sleepy weather, you can increase the brightness to the limit. Digital display of stock approximately 560 cd/m². And for those who do not like very bright images, it is recommended to set the minimum value - 10 cd / m². Retailers have introduced two types of settings: manual and automatic. To operate in another way, there are special brightness sensors, and to change the level of brightness you just need to go to the menu.

Asus Nexus 7: camera specifications

In order not to compromise the quality of the tablet, producers do not use highly separate cameras. In the opinion of most people, this criterion is not sufficiently valid, since most people have a telephone. According to the statistics, a lot of smartphones with top-end optics have been released, and you can choose not only expensive options, but also “state budget” ones.

The first generation of Asus Nexus 7 is little more than “Front-line”. However, these days, such equipment is no longer considered relevant, so with the release of the 2013 modification, there were a few corrections. How can you bring this to the forefront? In this tablet, the cameraman has installed a camera from the previous generation. Її maximum - 5 MP. An interface without any special features. If there is no front camera (1.2 megapixels), then it will only be useful for video calling. Permission will not be enough for taking photographs.

autonomy

When choosing an Asus Nexus 7 tablet, battery characteristics play an important role. Most business owners use Apple devices as their standard. They function when watching films up to 10 years old. It is surprising that most of the world's producers will approach this value, but they cannot yet achieve similar results. But the axis was not practical for Asus retailers. The 7-inch tablet is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 3950 mAg. According to the printer, when a video device is created, it will last from 8 (video capacity - 720 p) to 10 years (other modes).

Since it is possible to reduce the brightness level to 20%, the device will discharge no earlier than after 12 years. For the normal life of the tablet, wear out for approximately 2-3 days (depending on the age of use). At the cost of this, the real minus is an hour that is spent on charging the battery. In order to reach 100%, you will need to spend about 3 years. Most users are tempted to charge the tablet only at night, since the battery itself is not afraid of overcharging.

productivity

The Asus Nexus 7 tablet is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 8064 (Wi-Fi) and MDM9215M (LTE) processors. A powerful video card plays the role of a graphics processor - GPU Adreno 320. Of course, this device will significantly compromise those gadgets that operate on NVIDIA Tegra 4. Why is this device seriously affected? According to experts, Nexus 7 easily fits into the settings - be it software or graphics. If you test the version with Wi-Fi, you can check that the chipset is based on several computing modules. They work behind the 2 + 2 principle. The skin from the cores, with increased pressure, can accelerate to 1512 MHz. And with reduced work processes, the frequency changes to 384 MHz.

To check the tablet's productivity, you should take a look at the RAM capacity. This display itself will be stored as processes and data on the device are quickly emerging. Retailers of the Asus company valued sharing two gigabytes as quickly as possible. It is impossible to bring such characteristics up to the top, except that they cannot be called a weak point. To improve the capabilities of the tablet, the memory has been transferred. There are two modifications for sale: 16 and 32 GB. The method of expansion is due to the fact that the printer does not remove the slot for memory cards.

communications

The model range of the virobnik will be expanded as much as possible. This model has the Asus Nexus 7 32Gb LTE with support for the third and fourth generations, as well as a simple option that only works with Wi-Fi. For your benefit, the tablet functions seamlessly with mobile operators. During the hour of operation, no nonsense was detected, it was good to catch the signal. Tim, who doesn’t feel like using the Internet through the Internet connection, is tempted to use a faster Wi-Fi module. To transfer data, you can use either a wired connection (USB) or a wireless connection (Bluetooth). Please note that most of the praise is dedicated to the Bluetooth module itself.

Multimedia capabilities

Most users have immediately expressed their respect for the browser in the Asus Nexus 7. Its speed is high. At Merezha you can do any kind of activity. The tablet can easily be used for surfing, navigating through tasks, and zooming. No fixes or hang-ups were noted by the koristuvachs. Buyers can take advantage of the fact that the tablet can easily play modern games. The screen displays any video in HD quality. If you are having problems with the operation of certain files, you can purchase an add-on to help correct the problems.

Anyone noticed that the sound of the gadget for mobile devices is loud. This became possible due to the special placement of the speakers. The stench is spread on both sides. If the situation arises and it is necessary to significantly increase the volume of the creation, then the tablet can be connected to acoustic devices.

Delivery set and packaging

Asus Nexus 7 3G is delivered to store shelves in a very presentable box. According to buyers, its design is perfect for a Christmas present. These packaging containers have a glossy finish, which significantly increases their attractiveness. For this purpose, use a light tone. The basis of the front panels was a black background. On it, in white letters, are the logos of the software companies: Asus and Google. In the middle of the package is the tablet itself. While there are a lot of accessories, their selection is truly modest. Only the most essential elements have been added to the kit. You will need a charger, a key to open the SIM card tray, USB cables and, especially, documentation.

visnovok

Well, you can now finish looking at the Asus Nexus 7 3G (32Gb / 16Gb) tablet. The guides of the Vlasniks will help to bring the bags. This way you can give a real assessment of the entire product of Google and Asus. This tablet model can easily cope with everyday tasks. The gadget comes with additional features that do not require a lot of RAM. There are only a lot of praises about the efficiency of collection in Merezhi. All the workers confirm that the plant is fully operational, even using inexpensive materials. There is no play when the tablet is used for an hour. All parts are perfectly fitted, the gaps are minimal. In a word, yakism on a high level!

Of course, you can’t say anything about the screen. The images appear on the display in a realistic palette. The clarity and sharpness of the picture is excellent. The touchscreen is truly a merit, because it benefits from any kind of touchscreen. If you are a beginner, you can wear gloves when using a tablet. Business owners happily take productivity to the next level. The processor on four cores functions very quickly and copes with a large number of tasks. When working with this device, users may experience not only advantages, but also discover shortcomings. Most often, problems arise during the time of changing the firmware (updating the system).

Asus Nexus 7 | Enter

The ASUS (Google) Nexus 7 tablet is produced under the brand of the American company Google, and is manufactured by the Taiwanese ASUS. The tablet is based on the current “system on a chip” NVIDIA Tegra 3, equipped with a 7-inch IPS touch panel with a separate 1280 x 800 resolution and the new operating system Android 4.2.1. In the USA, prices are set even lower, at $159 / $199 for the 8/16 GB version, in Russia the prices are higher - around 9-10 thousand. Rubliv.

Asus Nexus 7 | Design and modern look

The design of the tablet is receptive. I would especially like to point out the back cover: the “golf ball” surface on the pillbox is rubberized. The front screen is crooked. From the top you can see the video camera and the light sensor. The frame on the sides of the screen in portrait orientation is of medium size for a 7" tablet. The edges above and below are large. The situation is complicated by those who occupy parts of the panel above and below, apparently, And the row and on-screen buttons, through which the frame appears larger.

On the other side, in landscape orientation, the frame on the right and left is easy for fingers. If you want to reach all the keys of the on-screen keyboard with your big fingers, you can no longer reach it.

The back panel contains the Nexus and Asus logos, as well as the speaker grid. There is nothing on the top end except a microphone, on the bottom there is a 3.5 mm audio jack and a micro-USB port. On the right side there is a locking button, a power off button, and a tension adjustment dial. On the left side there is another microphone and a connector for a docking station. The docking station itself is not yet on sale, but ASUS is expected to release it in the near future.

Asus Nexus 7 | Equipment

The tablet is delivered in a receiving box, on which part of the image of the tablet there is a number 7. The delivery set includes the tablet itself, a 5 V, 2 A (output) power supply unit, and a USB cable. Then you are only taking away what is most necessary, but with a tablet of a similar price you are unlikely to get much more.

Asus Nexus 7 | Software security

Nexus products and Google stream system updates almost instantly when they are published. The Nexus 7 is not to blame. We tested the tablet with version 4.2.1 installed. The Nexus's Android is absolutely “naked”, without additional programs and a special driver interface, like Google.

I would like to highlight the main advantages of the system in this version.

  • Insurance coverage for a rich interface. Each has its own settings, add-ons, work tables, etc.
  • Possibility of processing pictures and photos in the standard Gallery add-on
  • The security of add-ons not from Google Play has been verified

  • Without interruption, tiny lines.
  • Dartless display of images on TV

  • Possibility of changing widget sizes

  • Camera add-on has been changed

  • Nareshti showed up stopwatch and timer. To the point, beautifully designed, handy and functional

  • Hour for several places (in the widget the same year)

Asus Nexus 7 | Camera

The tablet has one camera - front-facing with a resolution of 1.2 MP. It does not interfere with autofocus, so it is only suitable for video conferencing and Skype. The image comes out clearer. With two microphones (the other is used for noise reduction), the sound comes out the same. The camera add-on is not transferred; photographs can only be taken using special add-ons (Skype, for example).

Asus Nexus 7 | NFC

The ASUS Nexus 7 tablet has NFC support. You may need it in the near future if there are sufficient payment terminals that allow you to purchase goods from an electronic card connected to your tablet, travel vouchers, withdraw discounts, etc.

You can now use the NFC function. With Android Beam, you can use NFC to exchange different messages between two devices by simply matching them one by one. When NFC zones are enabled, information is sent to the user when the screen is touched. So, for example, when you open a page in the browser, the message will be transmitted, and when the add-on is launched, the side with this add-on will be transferred to Google Play. The head here is tough. There is no need to receive or receive a signal, or to launch a special menu. The transfer can be completed in one click.

Asus Nexus 7 | fine-tuning

Adjustments in Android 4.2 are not much different from previous versions. Ale є і innovation. The smell is in the settings of new functions, as we have already described in the section about the security program.

The version of the tablet without 3G cannot set up mobile networks. Therefore, it is not possible to connect USB modems via an OTG cable using standard methods. Of course, in the forums you can find instructions for adding support for 3G modems, but for this you will have to install custom firmware and root, which reduces the guarantee.

Flash drives cannot be connected normally. Via the OTG USB port you can connect only a keyboard or a mouse. When the mouse is connected, a cursor appears on the screen. Otherwise, connected storage devices are NOT initialized normally. You can correct the situation yourself easily, using additional programs from Google Play.

Asus Nexus 7 | music

To play music, use the standard “Play music” add-on. It's clearer and simpler. There is also obviously an equalizer. The tablet itself has two speakers. The sound is booming. At full volume, the tablet is comfortable to hear only in quiet places, but in quiet places it is only half as loud. The sound is good and in headphones. In terms of sound, the tablet is simply excellent.

Asus Nexus 7 | play

NVIDIA Tegra 3 is one of the fastest SoC processors on the current market, and competes well with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon S4. Tablets based on NVIDIA have an obvious advantage over other platforms - games are optimized for NVIDIA. Google Play has a special add-on in which you can view the list of games optimized for Tegra and cancel messages for inviting or purchasing games. These games can also be played on other platforms. And these actions are supported only by the Tegra family.

For example, in the Beach Buggy Blits game, specks appear on the screen as you drive through the water.

Auralux has a more beautiful shade.

The graphics in the games are poor. Everything cannot be expressed in words. As it seems, it’s better to do it once than almost a hundred times.

Normally, Asus Nexus 7 did not produce anything from our test files. If you have an Android device, you can install any player you like from Google Play, which we strongly recommend using.

In terms of productivity and productivity, the 4-core “system on a chip” Tegra 3 has left its competitors far behind. Gaming productivity was superior to low-cost tablets tested in our lab previously. In addition, Tegra 3 supports several graphical functions (dynamic lighting, shading, image enhancement, etc.), which are not covered by the SmartBench test, but are demonstrated in optimized games.

JavaScript productivity

SunSpider is a JavaScript test that demonstrates both the productivity of the tablet's JavaScript engine and the relative complexity (to a lesser extent) of the hardware. A poor implementation of JavaScript on even a small tablet can ruin the entire productivity of the platform. And at the same time, the wonderful implementation of JavaScript allows you to effectively vikorize all kinds of systems. However, today's main implementations of JavaScript engines are becoming closer and closer to one, developers are noticing more and more beautiful ideas. JavaScript tests are single-threaded through the nature of browsers. The SunSpider test is unique from the wealth of micro-tests we see in add-ons like GeekBench, while at the same time attempting to evaluate the CPU-sensitive performance that is found in real web add-ons.

Below are the results of SunSpider 0.9.1 on Android tablets and phones. Android devices use Google V8 JavaScript engine.

The smaller the result, the better. In addition to the latest versions of Android and other tablets, Google Chrome is a standard browser. Ale Google has optimized it well for speed, the productivity of the browser is responsive, the tablet will not be “disturbed” on large websites.

AnTuTu

We added the results of the popular AnTuTu test. The Antutu test has been updated, and the results of the old and new versions are not the same. We will bring equal results with one of the shortest tablets on the Russian market -.

The results are decent, but in this synthetic test the graphics core of the Mali 400 MP4 tablet of the IconBIT NetTAB THOR shows a high frame rate per second. Even more intensive processing of the 4-core processor Asus Nexus 7 shows good results. It is important that in the Tegra 3 GPU you enjoy unique graphics functions available in optimized games. Therefore, the “pure” performance of the GPU is not so important. On the other hand, with the Tegra 3 GPU we would like to see better results in terms of GPU productivity.

As an alternative, we would like to cite IconBIT netTAB Matrix II, which recently appeared. You will find that it is equal to the Nexus 7 in terms of thickness (even if there are two computing cores instead of four), also a good IPS screen with a lower resolution, standard support for 3G modems, the ability to expand memory with micro-SD cards (special slot), regular connection of external storage devices. Є and HDMI output. Finally, the IconBIT netTAB Matrix II tablet is once again much cheaper and saves on the many shortcomings of the Nexus 7. On the other hand, the Nexus 7 performs much better in games that are specially optimized for Tegra 3.

The ASUS Nexus 7 tablet is good not only for playing games on Tegra 3. You get the option of ASUS assembly and a guarantee from service centers in Russia, constant support for the manufacturer and a reliable update of the operating system - the tablet is already supplied as standard Available with Android 4.2.1.

So we are depriving our readers of the right to choose. We consider IconBIT netTAB Matrix II and ASUS Nexus 7 as close competitors, both tablets have advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of Asus Nexus 7

  • ASUS power, good case, network of service centers in Russia
  • Compact size 7" tablet
  • The “system on a chip” NVIDIA Tegra 3 T30L is pressed
  • The remaining OS version is Android 4.2.1, updated simultaneously with the publication of a new version
  • Tall IPS display 1280 x 800 (216 ppi)
  • Accelerometer, GPS, magnetometer, gyroscope, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
  • rotary speakers

Shortcomings of Asus Nexus 7

  • Availability of HDMI connector during heavy use
  • At the moment, the docking station is not on sale, although we will not
  • Support for video formats is standard, you need to install the player from Google Play
  • Wide frame at the bottom of the screen
  • Available for micro-SD card slot
  • Availability of support for external storage devices via USB - OTG
  • Daily support for 3G modems (for the 16 GB version)

Pershered Nexus 7, Vima of ASUS to shut up Google, Z'yavavivaviv in 2012 Rotsi I viclikav the Great Azia, Yaki Buv, I will have a bunch of dedication: Nexus 7 16 GB was 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.

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.

Hello, koristuvachi Habrakhabr. A few days ago, I picked up the 2nd generation Nexus 7 for testing. I came across a 16 GB model without LTE.

From the first days of Wikoristan it became clear that the updated “Simka” is a contender for the title of the smallest 7-inch tablet on Android.

Nexus 7 2nd generation - the “work on the problems” has been done well. The Nexus 7 II is the very same, as it was the first evidence from Asus and Google.

First of all, the screen. Full HD resolution is no longer magic for anyone, but damn it, how pleasant it is to marvel at such a screen! In another way, the tablet with such permission is being used without thought.

The screen shown below shows the alignment of the iPad mini and Nexus 7 screen

Thirdly, Nexus 7 is more tactile. He lies in the hand of his predecessor, and his “evening” allows him to vikorize his like a great telephone. (I already said in the video that the Nexus 7 was robbing Samsung - it’s not a phone, but so what?).

Another remarkable feature of the new product is the appearance of a camera on the back side. The quality of the chamber is different.

You can compare the photos I took on the iPad mini and Nexus 7 in the same minds:

The infection of this device can be called a winner in the price-performance category in the segment of 7-inch tablets.

And who’s too worried about what to buy now? The old Nexus 7, the price of which in Russia is already in sight, but still the new one, the price of which in our region rises to over 14,000 rubles? Gladly you will be the one who buys Nexus 7 (2013) outside our country, even at such human prices:

Nexus 7 16GB Wi-Fi - $229
Nexus 7 32GB Wi-Fi - $269
Nexus 7 32GB Wi-Fi + LTE - $349

In order to understand what you want, you need to take a look at the specifications of the 2013 Nexus 7 compared to the 2012 model:

- The tablet has become 6 mm narrower
- The tablet is 50 grams lighter
- The light indicator appears
- Snapdragon S4 Pro processor (Tegra 3)
- 2 GB RAM (liter 1 GB)
- A 5 MP camera appeared
- Allowed the screen Full HD (bulo HD)
- The position of the front camera has changed
- 4G support has appeared in the top version of the device (I don’t know what Russian measures do)
- Qi support - dartless charging
- SlimPort support - connecting an external screen via an additional cable

Chi varto brother?

Well, it’s not surprising that there are many people who are surprised not only on the Nexus 7, but also on the iPad mini, and choose mainly between them. I am an owner of the iPad mini and I will not change the tablet from Apple to Nexus for two reasons. First of all, since I love Android on phones (I use Nexus 4), on a tablet it’s not the same, there are no gestures at all. On the other hand, this relationship between Google and Asus is less powerful, 4:3 is ideal. Let me remind fans of Android tablets - this is the best proposition on the market: Nexus 7 2013 is already accepted on the tablet, it is already working quickly, it has a wonderful screen and, most importantly, the most efficient support for PZ.
