With the withdrawal of the Pixel C, it seems clear that Google puts an end to its range of Android tablets, one of the most interesting and influential in the evolution of the sector. We have no doubt that there will be great moments also in the future of your 2-in-1 and convertibles with Chrome OS, starting with the Pixelbook, but today we are going to review those of your Nexus range. What was your Favorite?
Nexus 7
We have never hidden that we have always had a soft spot for him. Android stock and the tablets of Google, and that the Nexus 7 It has been one of our favorites in all these years, a real gem of cheap tablets, which not long ago we regretted that it had not had a successor. Beyond personal preferences, there is no doubt that it played a key role in the expansion of compact tablets and in the evolution of Android tablets, which search engines tried to popularize with its help.
Nexus 10
Although it always seems that the Nexus range's turn to the high-end came later, the truth is that in the same year that Nexus 7 was launched, Google, In collaboration with Samsung, already launched what at that time was a truly luxurious tablet, with a spectacular Quad HD screen (perhaps too much screen, in fact, for a tablet at that time, which made many at the time complain of battery problems) , which turned out to be a first preview of what would later make its high-end Galaxy tablets shine.
Nexus 7 (2013)
Although the Nexus 10 was there for those who wanted a tablet of the highest level, the difference is that then Google continued to offer small and affordable tablets to continue pushing the expansion of the format and to gain market share for Android in it. The Nexus 7 2013However, it has already made an important leap in technical specifications, especially with regard to the screen, which has now become Full HD. It was not as iconic as its predecessor, but without a doubt a great tablet, more mid-range than basic.
Nexus 9
La Nexus 9 was probably the most controversial of all, and that had raised great expectations, arriving manufactured by HTC, which had conquered so many hearts that same year with the HTC One M8. The problem is that this was already a considerable level up and it is true that looking at the quality / price ratio, it was no longer as striking as its predecessors. It didn't age as well as other models, perhaps, but it continued to convince us, and it was actually my everyday tablet for quite some time.
Pixel C
With the Pixel C the tablets of Google They peaked, in every sense, in hardware, software and price, and although it probably did not succeed in being what it seems that the search engines could pretend it to be (a tablet capable of competing with the increasingly powerful 2 in 1 Windows ), has been one of the best Android tablets ever released. It still is, in fact, since few tablets have come after that can overshadow it (except the Galaxy Tab S3) and, despite being a old tablet, is the only one that has Android Oreo officially today.
