    Google Nexus 7 2012 First Generation Tablet

    Way back in 2012 the Google Nexus 7 Tablet truly set the bar for providing users with speed, portability, reliability, and unprecedented graphics at the time of its release, and still competes very well three years later. As we all know, today's tablet is yesterdays tablet in as little as a couple months. Tech advances move at lightening speed for all these neet personal media devices we all love. The Google Nexus 7 tablet made people realize a 7 inch tablet is easier to take along and hold on too than a 10 inch tablet. The Nexus 7 was considered the top Android tablet for 2012, 2013, 2014. Other manufacturers had to scramble, trying to copy what Asus had accomplished with the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013. The Google Nexus 7 Tablet 2012 offers the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor for amazing graphics coupled with a CPU Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 with the GP ULP GeForce CPU. What all this tech info means is a fast tablet with amazing graphics for video playback with the ability to handle High end 3D gaming including modern game titles. If you are looking for a 7 inch tablet for face book, gaming, work, etc. with a great price, the Nexus 7 2012 will fit the bill. The Nexus 7 2012 is selling from around $55,00 to $125.00. The average price around $75.00 as of October 2015. The Nexus 7 2012 got some bad press recently (Summer 2015) with the Android Lollipop upgrades. Google said the Nex 7 hardware was having problems with the new operating system. All this really meant was the newer versions of the processor, and even the Tegra processor where deigned to work directly with Googles new operating system. It is good to be Google/God in the tech world. Many phones from other manufacturers had similar problems as the Nex 7. Google released several fixes for the Nexus tablets up to Android 5.0.2 that fixed the issues the Nex 7 was having, and the fixes worked. If you can find a Nexus 7 2012 tablet for sale already running 5.0.2, you will have no worries. If you can find a Nex 7 tablet running Android 4.4.4 or earlier to upgrade to 4.4.4 or Android 5.0.2, you will be getting a great deal. The 2012 Nexus 7 tablet sings with KitKat 4.4.4. Many phones are still running Kitkat. The Nexus 7 2013 tablet works very well running either, and the Nexus 7 2013 tablet is slatted to get the Marshmallow upgrade. (2015) The Asus/Google Nexus 7 2012 tablet is a fantastic tablet with a great price getting better by the day. The Nexus 7 2013 tablet has a bit newer hardware tweaked to Googles new operating systems. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either tablet!

    The Nexus 7 2013 WiFi + 4G

    This tablet is badA55. Yup. it's pretty light and you can hold it with one hand if you want. It's 11/2015 and Its still comparable to similar devices in the same league. I got mine used in excellent condition for less than $200.00, that's a steal cause I still see this go for $250 in refurbished condition with minor scratches. I recommend putting a screen cover and it will get a little warm if you watch videos all day. It does't have all bloatware like most Android devices and it feels good to hold, I've held other ones and I feel like they'll slop off my hands if I'm not careful, I'm not about to take that chance on any device. That's the last thing I worry about when it comes to devices, plus look at all the sorry A55 people on ebay that sell devices with broken screens, obviously they probably had some oily french fries or chips and some 3 or 4 hundred dollar devices is pretty much useless within a flash of a second. I recommend this for tablets under $200. I'm sure it'll be under $100 in enough time.

    Good tablet still in 2017 but must know this

    After the updates to the latest Android available version it gets almost impossible to use it is very slow. But I figured out what the problem is. It is necessary and mandatory to uninstall Google app and Google keyboard or Gboard. First install a third party keyboard like Swift key then uninstall the two Google apps, that will solve the problem that make it slow, also you can disable any other app you do not use. Then you will be able to use the tablet with some glitches now and then but definitely usable. I will keep looking for more possible apps or configuration for this problem. Hope this helps.

    Look No Further

    If you are looking for a stable and dependable tablet, look no further. The Google Nexus is the best and has a record of good service and performance. This is my second unit, mind you my first one which I've had for some 5 years is still running but I wanted to upgrade to more memory. I will continue to use the older unit when I forget to charge the battery on this one. You can't go wrong with this tablet while some others I won't mention will give you nothing but a major headache. If you are looking for reliability and endurance, look no further.

    Nice screen but slow

    This tablet has a very nice screen quality and it is easy to use. It is quite slow, however and runs Android 5.11 only so it is not a high performer. It does work if you only want to do limited things on it and if you are patient. That's not all that surprising considering the age of the tablet, and I think the low cost reflects that. Web browsing seems very slow but it runs applications like Kindle or eBay as long as you only use one at a time. The 2nd Generation Nexus 7 is much faster, as are the newer tablets.

    Good tablet for the price.

    Technically, it's a good value for browsing and to read the news. I will replace the defective display soon when part arrives. Price was OK, shipping was fast and it had the original packaging with USB cable and charger. Battery had been replaced and looks OK for a 5 years old tablet. I can tell the owner was careful with this electronics. Also it's easy to "tweak" because a lot of documentation and software is available for the Nexus 7. Thanks!

    All good!

    At first I was a bit apprehensive to buy this item since there are no pictures of the actual tablet however, the item arrived and it looks brand new. A few minor scratches on the corners but with a case on is barely noticeable.

    Great Quality for a Great Price

    The Nexus 7 tablet grants you quick access to the entire compendium of android apps and the internet. The HD screen looks great for gaming and streaming, the Wifi chip maintains a good speed, and the tablet overall runs smoothly and beautifully.

    Lightweight with great features

    My Nexus 7 was promptly delivered and works like a brand new tablet, which it is. The screen is bright and it's easy to use the Google Play and other features on it. Works like a charm!

    good value.

    it is a good tablet for the money that you pay, but you have to consider something, this tablet is 6 years old, so sometimes goes slow, but it is very comfortable and easy to use.
