[More map] 2013 edition Nexus 7 out of the box and started Atlas

this is love child norm in Silicon Valley User @ PrivaterBOK for a contribution. PrivaterBOK a mobile device enthusiast, he was in the 2013 Nexus 7 market, the first time to go to the supermarket to buy American BestBuy machines, the new Nexus 7 is selling well, PrivaterBOK relatively lucky enough to buy the machine. This is his Nexus 7 out of the box and bring experience to get started.

want to find an almost perfect tablet is actually not an easy thing, to upgrade from iPad 2 to iPad 3, I thought my desire has been fulfilled, but unfortunately human desire is always endless: When you one hand Retina, iPad, Kindle in one hand, you start to feel “7 inch + Retina” is the next one to pursue; first time to spend iPad mini, it has long been spoiled Retina screen eye level has been completely unbearable visible jagged, even mini has a near-perfect physique and appearance.

appalling piece of the era and iPad 2 screen configuration is difficult for people to start with, this is almost a year and so on, during the Kindle and the iPad 3 have been replaced Yoga 13, until the emergence of the second generation Nexus 7 makes things have a turn. Generation do not talk about all aspects of mediocre but very reasonably priced seafood trial, the second generation through providing almost twice the price of the same specifications, the most critical is the use of Retina-level display, after all, before a good mini 2 alternatives, then in the fall iPad mini 2 Retina settled before they acquire a Nexus 7 play it.

limited supply, so they can get the Bestbuy store only one stock is pretty lucky, two minutes late more than my brother only a small sense of loss away, sorry ~

box front, slightly dark past Nexus series of packaging, the new packaging to be a little clever. Back, very simple parameters, Asus OEM made in China; extract the kernel, apparently Google in the packaging with a lot of detail work. (This picture can click to enlarge)

remember the Nexus 7 generation out of the box as packaging design failure led to exceptionally difficult do? This time there are a lot of improvements. This is very easy to open, the top host, the lower parts. This is the family portrait:

boot. There was a time not use Android, I do not remember what kind of boot. WiFi connection, you can identify the 802.11n 5G signal (the test can be used). I did not expect even turned out to be the first thing on the WiFi update patch ……

wait a few minutes and finally into the main interface, and run basic applications and a variety of sub-section on the skip, just cursory look. Looked under the system information. 4.3 system, the kernel version is June compiled.

just installed several software and system updates tips? Moreover version or version 4.3? Last resort, and updated. Although the software version is not changed, but you can see the kernel version to upgrade to 7 months. Turn on the people have to say this is updated twice reboot twice less convenient approach a new user.

screen display comparison: iPhone 5 and Nexus 7 is almost the same as ppi, so you can clearly see the IPS pixel size. Electronic paper book Kindle E-ink dot matrix display with the usual very different. The Yoga 13 Although the use of a slightly kind Point 1600 × 900 screen, but the face of these new age opponent defenseless. (Click for larger image, all images herein can click to enlarge)

following is my brief experience started with a sense of:

appearance of the work : very high, with no cheap plastic feel, combined with tight seals, flat screen panels, buttons damping medium, if the iPad Mini workmanship count 5 points, then the value of the second generation Nexus 7 5.

screen : very high, very high resolution first, followed by the brightness, contrast, color temperature are in the normal range, there is no uniquely cast, wide color gamut no iPhone 5, but still better than the vast some cheap IPS products, such as Lenovo yoga 13 this.

battery : very satisfied, as the 7-inch tablet, dense Download App + online 3 hours, standby 15 hours, the remaining 66% of the battery is still to reach a nominal 10 hours no accident.

fever : ordinary Internet, app use, at the top of a slight fever, but there is no obvious hot feeling, and iPad Mini similar.

performance: very satisfied, in fact, I do not think the Galaxy Nexus Android system after fluency much difference, the one I do not play games, followed by my main application for the Internet, read e-mail in terms of adequate, so this Nexus 7 times still did not bring much negative feelings, overall very good fluency.

Applications : The most gripe is that most applications are still no tablet-optimized, reflected in many App just pulled horizontal and vertical rough analogy, does not make good use of the extra space. In fact, this point is also personally feel that most people criticized Android: Android App below seemingly many have used, but the actual App with iOS operating experience under the same name and function of the software different.

Price : very reasonable, for this price, for both iOS users or Android users, do not have any reason to refuse to attempt such a near-perfect 7-inch tablet, Android is good both early adopters Retina iPad or as a substitute before the Nexus 7 are very tailored to their needs.

Overall Nexus 7 was quite in line with its positioning, light piece of Retina screen on the value of the fare. As for performance improvements across the board, combined with its cabbage price, does not want to spread is immune, but hard you pig teammates. But good is not the only product, Android in the software part is still a long way to go, many of the details, some need to go to improve ease of use. Anyway, we are willing to see the situation of strong competition, competition brings benefits to consumers, who presumably do not want to appear similar to the Intel CPU field dominance after a lawless situation.
