hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with the review of the brand new 2013 Google Nexus 7 the first Nexus 7 was an awesome Android tablet period especially considering the $200 price the 2013 model brings some very welcome improvements but how does it stack up one of the biggest changes with the new Nexus 7 is in the size it's slightly taller with big bezels top and bottom but it's quite a bit thinner and lighter which makes a big difference I'm still not convinced that the smaller 7-inch screen size is better than the slightly bigger iPad Mini but there's no doubt that the new Nexus 7 is a lot more portable the back is covered in a soft touch rubber which has a nice feel in the hand and new is a 5 megapixel rear facing camera it's a camera on a tablet so don't expect much but for snapping a quick shot or a bit of video it's just fine one of my biggest complaints about the original was the poor audio quality however the new Nexus 7 is rocking stereo speakers this time a Susan Google definitely spent a lot on improving the screen quality and it makes a big difference it's now a 1920 by 1200 IPS display and the quality is excellent text and images are super sharp and the colors are awesome viewing angles are also top-notch and it works very nicely for watching Full 1080p video when you compare it to the low resolution iPad Mini screen the Nexus 7 looks miles better as the Nexus tablet on board we're looking at pure Android 4.3 this latest version of Android doesn't bring too many improvements beyond trim support to help keep the tablet running smoothly but it's still a good experience Android for tablets has improved a lot in the last year with many more apps being optimized for the bigger tablet screens the quality of mini apps doesn't quite match up to the excellent iPad app selection however for the most part there's really not much to complain about inside you'll find a quad-core 1.5 gigahertz Snapdragon s4 pro 2 gigabytes of RAM and either 16 or 32 gigabytes of storage along with optional LTE connectivity it's absolutely one of the quickest Android devices I've ever used with super smooth animations most everywhere you can occasionally find hints of lag here and there but overall it's a very fast and responsive device battery life is also solid I was able to get two days of moderate use on a charge which matches up with the last model impressively it eats up almost no battery while on standby the new Nexus 7 is one of the best tablets period right now the screen performance build and especially the price are all absolutely nailed and even though it does lose a couple things compared to the iPad Mini mostly that awesome metal build as well as the little bit bigger screen overall if you're interested in getting a new tablet the Nexus 7 is absolutely worth a look so what do you guys think about the new Nexus 7 is this something you would pick up are you waiting to maybe you see what the new iPad Mini is going to be all about definitely be sure to let me know what you think in the comments below I also want to thank the sponsor for this video Squarespace Squarespace is the all-in-one platform that makes it fast and easy to create your own professional website or online portfolio I'm actually working on creating my own Squarespace site right now and it is so easy to do there are lots of great-looking templates to choose from so you don't need to know code or anything like that it really is simple it starts at just $8 a month however for a free trial and 10% off go to squarespace.com and use offer code austin 8 that squarespace.com and offer code austin 8 anyway thank you guys so much for watching if you're interested in more feel free to check out my hands-on of Google glass really impressed with that and of course if you guys want to catch any more of my videos definitely be sure to subscribe here on YouTube so you never miss another one anyway guys that will catch you next time
