Tablets were for me so far nothing more than another variety which own (release) time to cut even more. "What I do with it?", Was my first thought when I held the little box in his hands. When unpacking, I was initially surprised at the feel of the device. The little flat PC looks at first glance very classy. The front dominates the big screen made from scratch-resistant glass. The back consists of a very nicely made, flat plastic housing. This has by no means cheap, but also keeps the second critical gaze and confirmed the first impression. The supplied accessories will be clear. Charger for USB, and a power plug.
The timeless design is not affected by the two small switches on the top, right outside of the housing. However, feedback from the controls could be a little more direct. In various other equipment is also possible. Other factors that should be here but that this is already whining at a high level.
After a short loading time, the Tablet could activate. A dream in microelectronics. Sit and wait independently come to life until the tablet as if by magic. Wisely are already installed many useful apps (Google Maps etc.). Thus are the surfing experience nothing in the way. The detection of the in-house wireless network prepared the little cleverness Meier no problems.
When operating the well legible display is of course the first eye. The colors are brilliant in my eyes. The reaction time and touch sensitivity of the display I was already very impressive in the series configuration. Trotzalledem remains much adjustable leeway to respond to the needs and individual preferences of the user. The operation itself is described in a word at Treff Ensten: Self-explanatory. Rarely perceived acclimatization to a new system was so short. Which reminds me, the speed and efficiency of small computing genius with the Android system drops to repeatedly.
One drawback is the inability to read memory cards for me. For me as an amateur photographer is exactly one of the desired capabilities of a tablet. A portable cache of first processing steps also permits and permits. Annoyed me the Google Play platform. Specifically: The payment options offered. Even after years of purchasing over the Internet, which travels around the world and refueling between Tierra del Fuego and Upsala I have a not missing: a credit card. To use the GPS capability of the device I wanted to download the Android app Me Tomtom, unfortunately, you will be automatically redirected to the Google Play site. This detour is also associated with limited payment options. Tomtom offers EC, direct PayPal to many other payment options. The Google Play page is limited here to credit cards. Tomtom was so out of my reach. That may come in handy for the NSA, for Europe is nonsense and I think it is frankly also questionable. This also applies to the required Google account. Customer and user friendliness is something else.
The already installed online navigation works very good, but unfortunately only with power. Functionally the GPS signal was properly receivable even in enclosed spaces. That is also a equipped with the Navigon or TomTom Offline solution works best and has the advantage of the 7 "screen. All the benefits of a navigation device can also be realized with the Nexus, provided you get the software loaded. Excellent is the battery life of the device. Once fully charged keeps the Battery as did the Volkswagen ad promised. It runs and runs and runs ... "This is not only pleasant to surf, but is predestined for excursions off the slopes and trails. This should be another manufacturer's take it to heart. Excuses of Nokia and Co are the future no longer be accepted. The 32GB memory offers enough options to upload maps or music to your tablet. While the already built-in speakers are not enough the HighEnd HiFi friend, for a device of this size and structural requirements but it is amazing what comes out of the horns.
Priced the Nexus is hard to beat. The vain apple Flask with the ego surcharge costs almost three times and has (for me) hardly. With Samsung and Co you are at eye level to the quality of the display. From technical point of view there is really little to complain about something it. The differences are really only marginally. The accessory dealers for the Nexus offers everything your heart desires. From the battery pack until the goat leather shell, everything is on the market.
Short and sweet

+ Weight

Negatives:

My conclusion: I have arranged myself surprisingly quickly with the Nexus tablet. For me it's a piece of technology that can make everyday life easier with his hobbies significantly. Really annoyed me paranoid Datensammlerei and the payment system to Google Play. The excellent value for money just not compensated for everything.
Note:
I have written elsewhere that it would be desirable "not helpful" to be provided in the form of criticism of clicks with a short comment here several times. That would help the reviewer to improve, or take the criteria and content out there might like missing one or the other. That would be good for all of us. The review platform is one of the few ways that we can use as a consumer to bluntly confront our experiences the advertising brochures.
If anyone has had negative experiences with a product here and the product to "positive" looks, he can do that at any time in a comment or a separate review. It often happens that even negative experiences by problems with new equipment in the width will initially not recognized. Prominent examples are the sensor problems (beaded necklaces) in NikonD7000 and Pentax (K5) of the last DSLR series (digital SLR) called, which in practice only at specific magnifications over 100% in the picture really stood out and only through forums and product reviews from the Manufacturer hand like taken "single case" a redemption action made. Whether one likes now listen or not, just buyers of e-technology, PC / camera / cell phone etc in this regard are burned children. Just think of the aforementioned sensor problems SDM defaults on the lenses, the bug when DA21, repetitive exposure error of Kx, diagonally hanging viewfinder, not running programs and weak batteries, etc.
I am very glad that we can use this opportunity to gather information and disclosure as a consumer. The unnecessary unchecking that takes place here on this platform makes our weapons but dull. That should keep in mind the one or the other here.
Thanks
