Just re-watched this shortly after Marques' new Pixel Tablet video. It's unbelievable to see how the whole IT industry was shaped but still how unique and important these Nexus devices were. Nexus 7 was my first tablet and it was truly a king during that time when the tons of chinese unheard brands and even the bigger companies started to flow the market with their devices. For now, they are mostly gone but this wave was inevitable regarding of the constantly changing needs of how users think of a tablet device. Now I'm on Tab S8 Ultra but the Nexus is still fully functional.

If they released this device in 2019 the exact same but with 2019 interior specs I'd buy it in two seconds. The form factor, the screen, the price, even the battery life, it was an amazing device.

I agree with u on sound but found it's a non issue as I mostly use sound with headphones or speakers. Also I'd like someone to review covers as these tablets spend most of their lives in them.

I have this tablet, 3 years later it's still running great, I flashed LineageOS and a custom recovery and it still runs great.

Adam Leigh Thanks for your advice Adam, you've certainly helped me out with my decision. But I also feel that touchwiz is more user friendly and better for multi-tasking. However the nexus has a far better chipset and half a Gig more RAM i found in my research, so i guess it would be better for gaming and the 1920 x 1200 display will be better too, so i will most prabably go for the nexus now. Thank You Adam.

Connor Pritchard You probably went through with buying the Nexus 7 by now and you did good. Just wanted to give you the heads-up that despite the fact that Samsung's TouchWiz interface looks good and all, it's pretty bloated and hogs lots of your device's resources. A good rule of thumb is to replace it as soon as possible, or to avoid it altogether.

I really like this tablet. It's the one I'm leaning towards the most right now. But I just have trouble with the size of the display. I think it might just be a little too small for me. Even though I like the fact that the tablet is small. I think it might not work well to study powerpoint slides off of or look at PDF files that have big, detailed pictures. On that note, will you review the new LG G Pad 8.3? I'd like to know if that one can be seen as the 8 inch version of the Nexus 7. :). Love your reviews so far. They're informative and, more than that, fun to watch.

Good quality review. Touches on all important aspects, pleasant voice. Thumbs up!

Got mine a few days ago. definately an upgrade from my old iPad 2. Camera is much better and the sound blew me away. Love the size, and the colors are fantastic.

I love my Nexus 7 2013. I will say this about the rear-facing camera, though. I don't use it for taking pictures as much as I use it for scanning documents, worksheets, and homework for college. It makes a great pocket scanner in that sense, if you use the right app for the job! I think it makes the Nexus 7 2013 a bit more productive than the previous design.
