Criteria Comments Rating
  • Features No comments —
  • Display The auto-dimming of the display is noticeable in a way I have not experienced with other devices. Otherwise it is bright and fast, and readable. good
  • Battery life In my use of it over the weekend the battery held up very well and supposedly it can handle 9 hours of video playback. great!
  • Ease of use I have never used an Android device before but picked up the Nexus 7 quickly. good
  • Storage capacity No comments —
  • Design and form factor I like the textured back and the one-handed weight. It's too easy to tap the soft keys when holding it from the bottom. The on/off button is too inconspicuous. good
  • Portability (size / weight) No comments great!
  • Durability No comments —
Detailed review
The 7 is a super useful, portable, fast, and simple device. I got one at Google I/O and have been reading on it, watching a little TV, sending some email, and using it for work over the past few days. It is my first tablet (though I have played with other people's iPads) and my first Android. At $199 I am considering buying more of them for my company to use in various applications. One key caveat: As an iPhone user, I am used to being able to re-orient the device between landscape and portrait depending on what I am doing. The Nexus 7 is unfortunately portrait-only except for watching video or certain apps like games.
