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!
