Android 9 Pie review: Google gets more thoughtful

 

Android 9 Pie is a massive, AI-infused software update, and it's generally a pleasure to use. The handful of features made possible by machine learning are helpful additions, but there's much more to Pie than that. Google has done a lot nipping and...

Helpful AI features ; Generally easier to use ; Improved Do Not Disturb and notification controls ; Lots of valuable small changes

Gesture navigation can be inelegant ; Wellbeing tools not available yet ; Some finer controls have been removed

Google Nexus 9 review: The first taste of Lollipop is a sweet one

 

The Nexus 9 is the first tablet to run Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop, and it shines because of it. Its design might not be worth writing home about and the speakers up front leave a bit to be desired, but the combination of Lollipop and NVIDIA's...

Android 5.0 Lollipop runs like a dream ; Material Design face-lift is warm, welcoming ; K1 chipset is plenty powerful, despite benchmark oddities

Screen is solid, not jaw-dropping ; BoomSound speakers not as good as M8's ; No expandable memory

I didn't expect to feel so torn about the Nexus 9. On the one hand, Android 5.0 Lollipop is refreshing, what with its snappiness and welcoming redesign. On the other, I can't help but feel a little frustrated that Google and HTC compromised on the...

HTC Nexus 9 hands-on: First look

 

The Nexus 9 by HTC was a hotly anticipated device on several fronts - it's the first tablet with Android 5.0 Lollipop, it brings HTC back into the tablet game, it's the first big Nexus tablet in two years and it's the first Nexus tablet that goes after...

Google Nexus 9 tablet

 

Google has partnered with HTC to serve up its greatest pure Android tablet yet.

The Google Nexus 9 is the first tablet to run Android Lollipop 5.0, which should receive timely updates. It performs steadily with many apps open, and switching between them is fluid. Its streamlined construction has a deluxe, comfortable feel.

Not all apps work smoothly with Android 5.0 yet. Firm contact is necessary for efficient touchscreen response and it's slow to charge. The largest capacity model offered is 32GB and there's no microSD card slot.

The Google Nexus 9's premium build, speedy performance and consistent updates render it one of the best high-end Android tablets.

Nexus 9

 

When Google's Nexus 9 tablet first came out three months ago, we looked at it in direct comparison with Apple's iPad (which was the better choice). This time, we look at the tablet on its own, and along side HTC's companion folio keyboard.

The Google Nexus 9 succeeds in checking the necessary boxes to be one of the best tablets of 2014. An HD display? Check. A premium build? Check. Trailblazing performance and the latest, purest version of Android. Check and check.

Nexus 9 review

 

For years, Apple's iPad has set the bar for tablets. If you are making a tablet, the iPad is what you'll be judged against and ultimately compete with. In light of this, Google has traditionally...

High-resolution, 4:3 display ; Good battery life ; Great speakers

Build quality issues ; Sluggish performance ; Lack of tablet-optimized apps

Google Nexus 9

 

The Nexus 9 is a well-built Android tablet with a powerful processor, and it'll always be the first to get the latest Google OS updates.

Super-fast processor. First tablet with Android Lollipop, which has lots of new features.

Poor camera. Some apps need to be updated. Android is still a bit behind Windows on productivity apps and iOS on high-profile games and apps.

I loaded a bunch of games from Nvidia's Tegra Zone store onto the Nexus 9 and they all played smoothly. Remember that we're getting the same frame rates as the Shield Tablet, at double the resolution. The only down side is that the Nexus 9 doesn't hook...

The Google Nexus 9 Review

 

For the past few years, we've seen Google place significant emphasis on price as a way of competing with other tablets on the market. The original Nexus 7 managed to deliver a good tablet experience without the conventional 500 USD price for a tablet....

With all of this in mind, it’s hard to give a resounding recommendation of the Nexus 9. The Nexus 9 is a step towards a high-end Android tablet, but not the leap that Google was hoping for. If you want an Android tablet near the size of the Nexus 9, I...
