Experience with Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet (32GB) - ASUS

Nexus 7 is best of Google's 7 inch tablet with  world's Android Operating System 4.2 (Jelly bean) in conjunction with Asus. Google stopped  its 8GB version of Nexus7. Now the tablet is available with 16GB or 32GB internal memory and there is no micro SD card and hence memory can not be extended with Nexus 7 device. The device is built by ASUS and comes with a NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core processor. The device is thin, light and highly port able; it can fit into your pockets and hence a great deal when you are on travel. A greater alternative to iPad mini. It costs the half the price of iPad mini. The Nexus 7 can be at any time be updated to the latest Android OS directly on the device without any complex steps to upgrade unlike other android devices and hence you can exploit the latest android features
I bought a 32GB version of Nexus 7 because I wanted a bigger storage for storing movies, songs, photos etc. Price wise its just $50 more than a 16GB version.

When I unboxed and started Nexus 7, I transferred a 1080p HD video to it by connecting to the computer using USB cable (included in the Nexus 7 box). By default the screen rotation is locked and hence the device does not play the videos in the full/wide screen. Under settings,when I changed to 'Auto Rotate' then the video started playing full screen. The video quality is excellent. I was satisfied with video quality. The Google Play application which plays the videos stores the timeline where the video was left off and the app asks if user wants to start over or from previous location.

The touch response is great compared to the previous versions of android. Its pretty fast and its a nice experience with navigation. Under Google Play->Apps there some apps called 'Staff Picks for Tablets' which are made for Nexus 7. Google Now is available and gives you the information that you may require depending where you are and other parameters. I played couple of games and the performance is great and its a overall nice gaming experience with Nexus 7. Nexus 7 supports multiple users, the same tablet can be used by different people with different Gmail accounts.

The only minor issue I noticed with Nexus 7 is that the screen brightness flickers while you are watching the video or just browsing the web. Hope this gets fixed in the newer versions of android or Google gives a fix for this. The battery lasts for 8hours.

The Nexus 7 is priced at $199 for 16GB version and $249 for 32 GB version. It also comes with Cellular connectivity (Mobile Data). Google is selling with this price in United States, however may be to promote android market. Its price in other countries are higher, for example, the price of Nexus 7 in India Rs 19,999/-. May be Google needs to consider other tech savvy countries while pricing to greatly promote Android.

Overall, Nexus 7 is worth for its great price, you can enjoy  your favorite Google Play Contents in stunning display.
