Nexus 9 Review

Nexus 9 Review: Last week, I received a little surprise package from Google – a Nexus 9 for review. I loved my Nexus 7, until it had an ill-fated incident of keeping the tablet in my purse without a proper cover left the screen smashed to pieces. I was devastated, so when this tablet arrived, I was excited to see how the Nexus 9 matched up with the Nexus 7. Here’s my review of the Nexus 9.

Nexus 9 Review

Here are my thoughts on the Nexus 9 tablet, what I love, the features and how it compares to the Nexus 7 tablet.

Screen

The first thing I noticed with the Nexus 9 was the size. It’s not small like the Nexus 7, it’s more of a full-size tablet. At 8.9 inches, it’s big enough to do the things you love doing on a tablet – yet small enough to carry in your purse.

Nexus 7 size is 7 inches.

Gorilla Glass 3

Gorilla Glass 3 makes it harder to break the glass and more scratch resistant. Thankfully, Google sent over a case as well, so hopefully the Nexus 9 won’t have the fate of my Nexus 7.

Nexus 7 uses scratch resistant Corning® Glass.

Android™ 5.0 Lollipop Operating System

I am loving Lollipop! I hadn’t upgraded my Android phones yet to Lollipop so was excited to see what the differences were from KitKat. The interface is clean and easy to use. I like the new flash light feature that is built-in, as well as that recently used apps are remembered even after restarting the device.

Speakers

The sounds is great with the distortion-free with front-facing HTC BoomSound™ speakers.

Processor

The 64-bit processor gives you enough power to do all the multi-tasking you need to do with numerous apps open at once.
