When you take the Nexus 7 tablet out of the box, it looks and feels like a tablet you would not be ashamed to take out in public.
Having successfully launched the Samsung Nexus smartphone range, Google has chosen well again for its foray into the tablet market by working with Asus which has made some of the best Android tablets on the market.
Google Nexus 7 Tablet: Build
Weighing in at 340g, the Nexus 7 Tablet is lighter than the Amazon Kindle Fire (413g) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (345g). At 10.5mm thick it’s not the most slender, but this is barely noticeable in the grand scheme of the overall design of the Nexus 7.
Physical buttons-wise it is much the same as other Android tablets, with on/off button and volume rocker situated on the edge of the device and the micro USB charging and syncing port found at the bottom next to the headphone jack.
Google Nexus 7 Tablet: Screen
If you’re expecting a new iPad 3-style Retina display quality in the screen department, then you’re going to be mildly disappointed.
While the 1280 x 800 HD display with 216 ppi might not put it in the same category in terms of clarity and vibrancy as the Apple tablet, it easily surpasses the 1024 x 600 resolutions sported by its closest 7-inch tablet rivals and proves excellent for watching movies and browsing.
There’s a corning glass coating to give the screen more durability and a magnetic layering which means the Nexus 7 Tablet has the capabilities to support SmartCover-style cases.
