Nexus 9 Unboxing and First Impressions!

2014-11-08
what's going on everyone at ravage consumer and today I've got an unboxing video for you guys of the brand new Google Nexus 9 now I've heard some concerns about the quality of this tablet so I'm gonna let you guys know my first impressions and if there's any reason for concern but hey let's not wasting time let's get right into it and alright guys here we have the Google Nexus 9 if you couldn't tell by the big 9 on the box but taking a look around it you can see that this is clearly the year for all white boxes this is the 16 gigabyte Wi-Fi model there is going to be an LTE version available but it isn't out yet but really guys there's not much to the box this is it in the back you will get to see a picture at least and you can have these little has these little cutouts right here so let's get the unboxing knife and actually tear that off so there goes one and there goes the other and boom now I am a little concerned I was excited about this tablet but after seeing some things online I'm not so sure it's going to live up to my expectations now I was a huge Nexus 10 user I used it quite a bit and it's still my main tablet like Android tablet today so I'm hoping that this will be okay but let's see if we can get this thing out we have a little piece of tape here let's see here okay there we go so it's out but let's put this to the side for now and see what else we get of course got some booklets says Nexus on the top in blue you've also got the nine inside of that and this is pretty much gonna be a warranty information set-up guide blah blah blah nothing we really really need here so we're gonna put this stuff to the side as well and let's see what else comes in the box of course you've got your microUSB cable and your wall adapter now this is HTC made so you will see some HTC branding here on the wall adapter got some HTC branding on the wall adapter and a regular microUSB cable let's see how long this is and it's yeah it's a decent length not that long so you won't be able to plug this into like a nightstand or you know a desk and use your tablet this is just not that long so wish it were a little bit longer the Nexus 10 had a very long USB cable but let's put all of this stuff aside now and take a look at the tablet and alright so here it is this is the Nexus 9 so let's peel this off okay and boom okay so this definitely reminds me of the Nexus 7 as far as the feel in the back and it looks like a blown-up Nexus 5 which is not a bad thing the front kind of reminds me of the iPad to be honest it has the large vessels at the top and bottom and the small bezels on the sides and we've got a little dust here which is pretty common for Nexus devices for some reason but I've got some dust there let's clean that off so let's start off with the front if you couldn't tell this is a 9 inch display above that we've got a 1.6 megapixel front-facing camera and at the top and bottom we've got the boom sound speakers that HTC is known for the HTC One m8 had amazing speakers so this has some big shoes to fill considering that this is a tablet I definitely am expecting this to sound amazing so hopefully they got that right let's take a look around oh wow so the first thing I'm noticing right now is that the screen now you've heard that click the actual bezel around it wasn't completely connected to the back of the tablet so I just clicked it in place uh not a good sign I'm hoping that that's not something that happens a lot I don't want to see the back separate from the screen so yeah let's continue with the tour now the back has an 8 megapixel rear camera with flash also you've got that Nexus branding that you'll usually see on Nexus devices to the right we have the power button and the volume rocker now I heard that these are pretty flush within the tablet it is pretty flush gotta admit but I'm not sure if it's gonna be a problem I'll see what data they use if this is actually going to be an issue but it does seem pretty flush from the first impressions here up top you do have your 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and at the bottom you have your micro USB port so you can charge this thing and pretty much that's about it the size are supposed to have like these nice metal bezels which actually feels pretty decent like I said this really reminds me of an iPad from the front but let's get this thing started let's turn this thing on and see what lollipop has in store for us now this does carry the latest version of Android Android 5.0 lollipop and it's supposed to have a ton of great features a ton of apps have been redesigned for the whole material design thing that Android is going with now so I'm very very excited about that so while spooling up let's make a quick comparison to the Nexus 10 as I mentioned before the Nexus 10 has been my main Android tablet and I love going back to this tablet this is my go-to tablet for everything and as you can see what's different here is that this seems like it'd be more comfortable in landscape and portrait mode because of the four by three aspect ratio whereas with the Nexus 10 it was mainly a landscape kind of thing for me portrait mode just seemed a little odd but I love this tablet though it's still a great tablet but um yeah so it looks a bit different it's it's a little wider it's a little shorter but um yeah so let's get rid of this let's actually set this thing up and I'll take a quick look around and give you guys my first impressions so far as far as the build quality goes it doesn't seem too bad but having to click the back in did didn't leave the best impression on me I did also hear that you can actually press down on the back a bit and you can feel a slight gap between the back and actual and I do feel it a teeny tiny bit definitely not as bad well I feel it a bit but I don't think it's gonna be an issue at all feeling this you'd really have to be looking out for it not a problem I don't think this is gonna be a big deal all right guys so I just connected this to my Wi-Fi but it does seem like I have to update it so once I finally get past this and the setup process then I'll give you guys my full impressions all right so updates installed now got the little Welcome pop-up so we'll just click got it and here it is and like I said this is running Android 5.0 this is lollipop you can see some of the changes here as far as like the notifications can switch your brightness move it all around yeah so this is pretty much it there's gonna be a lot of apps to go through I haven't set up my accounts or anything yet but um a lot of tons of apps and whatnot to go through I can't wait to try it all out but overall guys I'm liking it so far I'm definitely gonna put it through its paces and see if it's gonna replace my Nexus 10 as my main like in bed tablet so I'll let you guys know my full impressions and hopefully you enjoyed this video if you did be the cool guy that gives it a thumbs up and subscribe
