Guys, what are your views on Nexus 7?

Super VFM if you want an powerful android tab for browsing and apps/games.

Serious downer is no 3G

No external memory support means on a 8G model you will roughly get 5GB of usable space, which is very less

The Nexus 7 is a fantastic buy at $200. Easily the best in the price range. The OS itself is a far departure from Honeycomb/ICS on tablets, and with Chrome, it's a beast at browsing. Movies/Books is really good as well, using either Kindle or Play Books. (I use Netflix for video)

 

About storage, you just need root to make use of USB OTG, using the Stickmount app. But yeah, I highly suggest the 16GB variant if you want to store stuff on it, the 8GB variant only has 5.96GB free, which will reduce after you install your apps.

 

If you also install games, especially the ones that take up space, the 5.96GB will disappear in no time. Audio Quality is decent, nothing special.

 

Battery life is pretty decent as well, I got around 7 hours of screen time with auto brightness and Netflix, I guess it'll go to 8 hours of screen time if you're playing off the local storage, but I'm pretty sure that's the max it'll do.

 

It might be more if the tablet uses the companion core for more tasks, but I think 7-8 hours of screen time is what you should expect.

 

Also, I have not been able to replicate the ghosting issue that Android Police has brought up. The screen is pretty decent as well, nothing special. All in all, a fantastic buy at $199 or $249. (8/16)

 

The only Android tablet that I can recommend to others, TBH.

Dunno haven't used it at all. I thought it was some photo sharing thing, don't know how good is it for taking photos. Anyways I downloaded paper camera and looks good, but I need an app having those fancy effects like miniature and all.
