Google Nexus 7 (2013) Tablet Review - Best Android Tablet Right Now

Performance & Cameras Tests

The performance on the Nexus 7 is unrivaled. The Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC is blazingly fast, and mixed with the included 2GB of RAM, and 1920x1200-pixel display, it's one of the best-specced tablets on the market, with one of the lowest price tags too.

I noticed that moving the Nexus 7 into landscape mode felt significantly snappier than any other Android device I've used, and most importantly, the 2012 Nexus 7. The 2012 Nexus 7 feels like some ancient old piece of technology when compared to its refreshed younger brother.

Some of the performance of the Nexus 7 can be seen above with the SlimPort video, which is beautifully slick, and great for showing off your videos or photos to your friends or family on your big-screen TV.

Let's move onto some images from the camera. Here are some examples from the 5-megapixel rear-facing camera:
