This same Monday we published a news item in which we collected the poor results that emerged from the drop tests carried out by Android Authority with the new nexus 7. Today we bring evidence that could serve as a replica of the previous case, and that is that the new generation tablet shows greater resistance than its predecessor from 2012 and than the iPad mini in more sophisticated tests.
The truth is that it was a bit disappointing to see how the new Nexus 7 stopped working directly after a first drop in your first drop tests made by Android Authority. In any case, it should also be noted that the experiment was not very "scientific", since the equipment was dropped by hand in one position and, at times, randomly caused it to hit the ground in a totally different position. The video that we show you today is much more rigorous in this regard.
The new Nexus 7 is better built than other tablets
El Nexus 7 of 2013 it stands up to its predecessor and the iPad mini in these tests and stands out above both. It is the only one of the devices that does not suffer damage to the screen after the first test, a drop measured to the millimeter in which the original Google and Apple tablets come out quite a bit. worst stops. The second test shows that the grip The Nexus case is clearly superior to that of the iPad mini, which is very slippery on a smooth surface. Lastly, the new Nexus is a totally functional after spending several seconds underwater.
Results remain contradictory
However, this video simply serves as a counterpart to the one we showed you at the beginning of the week. Neither represents a test totally reliable of what will happen to our tablet if we suffer a mishap. The reality is hazardous and falls can happen in the most unthinkable way. Of course, these recordings are very useful when it comes to getting an idea of the quality in the construction of the equipment. So you can make your own conclusions.
Interesting, it seems that it has good quality finishes.
