Google Nexus 7 has taken the competition in the segment to a New level where Google sees itself in great position with its first ever hand in the Android powered Tablet market. The low-cost, exclusive features, Android 4.1 Jelly bean, etc. all contribute to the attraction towards this beauty? But wait we all know there is not a Back-side (rear) camera, No Micro SD card support, No Flash support. So what to do? Buy or not? Well here are some points that are worth discussing to consider before giving a final verdict of the tablet.
Cons
No back Camera - Yes there is no back camera present in the device. Those who see it competing with iPad would really consider this as the biggest failure point, So do we. Android lovers have always looked on to the Google play for apps such as
Instagram, but with no rear camera these becomes useless. Absence of a rear camera is really a big factor for those looking to buy a complete tablet in this price. The front facing 1.2MP camera is good for video calling and other purposes, but yet how many of you can see it beating the utility of a rear camera ?
Flash Support - Sadly Adobe, soon after the announcement of Jelly Bean, revealed that it will not provide support for the latest Android version.
Lack of Micro SD Card Slot - What if you want to put the contents of micro-sd card to play in your device? Google has clearly not provided any support here as well which many of us believe would not have come in between the cost cutting, rest only Google knows. If you are a complete fun loving person loving to take out movies, songs, your own stuff everywhere you go you might miss out. Those who say the 8GB internal storage is enough, well there is hell lot of space available for Android applications and other things to acquire.
No 3G network - That's really why i won't buy it. Leave the camera, flash support, micro sd card slot, But you can not always find a wi-fi network around you.
Supportive Arguments
Well enough of cons, now let's take a look at other side of coin, considering there are 2 aspects of every thing. The first and foremost thing which comes to defend the Tablet is its Price. If you want to get a quality tablet at low price well nothing can beat it. The 8GB version costs $199 and the 16GB is worth $249. So this gives a definite reason to say Bye,Bye! to those tablets which are of less quality, low performance and of course does not have the name Google associated with it.
Well what next, you forgot the Quad-core Tegra 3 processor. You could not have imagined to see it such a low end device. The inclusion of this processor itself is in high cost range but remarkably Google managed to get this in. 12 core ultra-low voltage nVidia GeForce GPU is not a JOKE. This makes the device to play some heavy games, apps at amazing speed with great graphics.
Wait, there is a Jelly Bean waiting in as well. Yes the device is the first to run the latest version of Android release by Google at I/O 2012. This makes a perfect choice for users wanting to be on the latest version .
Now coming back to the topic, If you are making a mind NOT to buy it, wait we have to say something? How many of you really happen to take pictures with your Tablets? Don't you associate a Tablet with your professional needs? If so there is a well placed 1.2MP front camera waiting for you.
Space issues? Well 8GB is not a small amount and if you keep the real utility of a tablet in mind i doubt if that might cause an issue.
A device with such amazing features at only USD 199 is a Must go. Google Nexus 7 is really a wonder piece created by Google and that's why we say it is a Must buy Tablet.
