Nexus 7 2nd Generation - REVIEW

2013-07-30
hey everyone and welcome to another review by Jim's review room today i have the much anticipated the brand new 2013 nexus 7 so with last year's 2012 model it was a definitely a hit with the price point hardware and performance so with this year how has the new Nexus 70 second-generation evolved as grown as well we'll find out this 2013 nexus 7 16 gigabyte model currently retails for 200 $29 the 32 gigabyte version retails for 269 in both feature Wi-Fi connectivity only and from Google's press conference in coming weeks the nexus 7 4g LTE versions will be available with 32 gigabytes of storage and will sell for 349 dollars this will be sold through Verizon t-mobile and AT&T so we'll go over the external physical characteristics first and my impressions on how it feels now compared to last year's model it's two millimeters thinner and 50 grams lighter so this model measures in at four point four inches wide seven point eight seven inches tall and has it fitness of point three four inches now this model weighs in at ten point two ounces so the exterior features your standard power button and your valium rockers here microphone three-and-a-half millimeter jack for your headphones stereo speakers on the back and a micro USB port for charging and it's also slimport enabled which means you can watch whatever you're watching on your Nexus 7 on your big screen TV or monitor now the adapter for that costs about thirty dollars additional and on the back it features a somewhat rubberized texture and if you ever seen my other tablet reviews actually prefer this type of backing over the all-aluminum body just for the fact that it does provide extra grip when holding and then onto the front the nexus 7 features a 7-inch Gorilla Glass 1920 x 1200 resolution IPS display now that's a mouthful there but what is more intriguing is it's 320 three pixels per inch I'll repeat at the end 323 PV is now this tablet has the most density of pixels and all tablets on the market today that's beating Apple minis 163 PP is beating the newest iPads retina display of 264 it's beating the nuk the kindle this samsung galaxy tab 3 microsoft surface etc said i can name them all for you if you like but what this means is for every square inch on your screen there's 323 pixels the more you have the more detail in turn making your images and especially your text and lettering just much more clear this is one of the biggest selling points of a new 2013 Nexus 7 now the number sounds good but does it really perform visually though or such as the contrast in the playback and I'll tell you yes it does now this is possibly the clear screen I have ever seen now using the mex's as an ereader was a joy because the text was so crisp now when I zoomed in you can even see the finest jagged edges of the pixels so the contrast is also really good however when you plug it right next to the kindle fire HD or the nuk the colors are slightly washed out on the Nexus 7 so don't place it next to something else and everything visually will still look stunning on this next 7 now moving internally the CPU is eighty percent faster than last year's model with a new Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 pro quad-core processor at 1.5 gigahertz and a GPU that is four times more powerful than its predecessor now in 2013 the nexus 7 features two gigabytes of ram and the new tablet also runs in the newest version of its operating software which is android 4.3 jelly bean and it will provide some new features such as multi-user restricted profiles with more of a focus on parental controls Bluetooth smart support autocomplete dial pad wireless display to a TV to name a few now what's more notable and features is the virtual surround sound and also the increasing graphics performance from opengl es 3.0 so i didn't see too much of a difference compared the previous jelly bean which is four point two point two however with all the new hardware operating systems this system flows much more smoother though there's zero skip frames there's no stutters that I've noticed when switching between screens or menus or apps etc now playing graphically hardcore let's say three dimensional games was a breeze you threw anything at this thing and it ran it flawlessly at a tablet does feature a set of speakers and both were clear but you can definitely tell it's not as loud as somebody competition out there but nonetheless I mean put on a good set of headphones or so and you're good to go now this tablet does offer NFC support and it's great for those NFC users out there now wireless wireless charging is enabled as well if you're into taking pictures with your tablet how to say forget about it on this device the 2013 Nexus 7 features a 5 megapixel camera in the rear and 1.2 megapixel on the front and I'll be honest they are horrendous now pictures even in medium light we're still grainy and because we're just washed out I mean I just was not impressed at all by the quality of the photography in the video so really shocked for its performance considering how almost every other part of this tablet is on the high end spectrum going on it's it has a 3950 milliamp battery which is smaller than last year's 4325 melon battery but I don't measure battery life as such so I rather measure it and it's claimed up time so what that means is google claims up to 9 hours of active muse on this current or new Nexus 7 which is actually similar or the same as last year's model so smaller battery and it equals to a smaller unit and it's the same battery life I think that's always a plus that's good alright to wrap things up my summary here the nexus 7 it has the most pixels per inch so the resolution as thing is crazy and it's amazing with crisp and sharp text and photos there it has the most Ram out of any tablet 2 gigabytes and also the fastest processor beating out the galaxy tab 3 the iPad the likes so hats off to the Nexus 7 and also to Google as well it's nothing groundbreaking however it does set the bar pretty high for other tablets to file down the road so this is right now the best tablet you can get in its segment and the 7-inch form factor on the market today so I hope you enjoyed this review of the 2013 Nexus 7 now it did take quite a bit of time to produce and edit this video as well if you can please just show you support by
