Nexus 7 is the worst tablet

Dustin Earley for Android and Me in June:

> I can’t find one person who has been using the Nexus 7 for an extended period of time, and hasn’t seen a massive downgrade in performance. Just what kind of downgrade are we talking here? I cannot pick up my Nexus 7 without experiencing problems like a lag of ten seconds, or more, just to rotate the display; touches refusing to acknowledged; stuttering notification panel actions; and unresponsive apps.

No wonder people don’t go online with it, they can’t even get it to work.

Nexus 7 support sucks

I’m seriously disappointed in Google not standing behind a defective Nexus 7, just because I didn’t purchase it from them. Apple and Amazon stand behind their products no matter where you purchased them.

Stay classy Google.

Kudos to Josh on the review, especially for calling out the lack of LTE.

This is what their canceled press conference was all about.

Faint praise

Fraser Speirs:

I feel like I can’t help damning the Nexus 7 with faint praise. It’s a nicely built tablet, that’s fast enough and has a workable OS. It has a good browser and some good built-in first-party apps. As a general-purpose device it’s hobbled by a small keyboard. It lacks a cellular networking option and a rear camera. As a reading device – possibly its strongest suit – it’s let down by poor font rendering and a sub-retina display.
