00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:14.280
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the tablet that the entire internets are

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:18.880
excited about this is the Nexus 7 from Google and ASUS it's a joint project you

00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:21.920
can see The Branding is sort of clever there's a picture of a tablet which also

00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:26.599
happens to be sort of in the shape of a seven which corresponds to the diagonal

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:32.640
size of the screen it is a 7-in tablet includes a Tegra 3 processor running at

00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:35.200
1.3 GHz remember that's four high power

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:41.120
cores plus one low power core for that particular processor and a powerful GPU

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.800
it comes in 8 gig or 16 gig models and

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:46.719
there's a few things here that we should probably talk about really quick so it's

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.680
completely ready for Jelly Bean which is Android 4.1 which includes a lot of UI

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:54.399
tweaks as well as a few other cool things so Nexus 7 runs the latest

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:59.039
version of Android comes with all the Google apps you love check Gmail brows

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:03.239
at the web with chrome so the browser that we found on pre editions of Android

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:06.520
is going to be gone and with it flash support so we're going to be using

00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:09.600
Chrome on our tablets from now on watch videos from YouTube and chat face to

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:15.360
face so it has a front-facing camera only no rear-facing camera it is a 1.2

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.840
megapixel camera and honestly at the price points that these tablets are

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:23.960
coming in at some sacrifices did have to be made so it's $1.99 for an 8 gig and

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:29.000
about $2.49 remember these are USD prices so your mileage may vary um $249

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:32.600
for a 16 gig there are no higher capacity versions of available at this

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.479
time and that is the only difference between the two capacities is just the

00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:40.960
capacity so Google Play is their well what they've upated the market branding

00:01:39.399 --> 00:01:45.280
too so there's a lot of different stuff in there now including songs books

00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:49.520
movies and as well as apps and games full-fledge Android tablet powerful quad

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:54.079
core processor front face vvor 7 in HD so that's an IPS that is an IPS display

00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:58.759
which means you're going to get a very decent viewing angle and what's cool

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:05.680
about it is the fact that it is full HD so it is 1280 by 800 which means you can

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.439
watch 720p video in full screen and it

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.319
will be full resolution on this particular tablet and the other really

00:02:09.239 --> 00:02:16.760
cool thing about that is because of the fact that it is in a 7in form factor it

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:19.959
has extremely high pixel density which you know if you have used a retina

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:24.000
display from Apple you're going to be familiar with already is much less

00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:28.360
fatiguing on the eyes and makes text look just infinitely better I've

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:33.400
actually I've taken it out already prior to the unboxing and I've played around with the a little bit and I'm very very

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:38.040
impressed love the screen love the responsiveness love the accuracy so it's

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:42.519
got a 10-point multi-touch which is about as much as any sort of normal

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:47.120
person would need not that I'm saying that if you have six fingers on each

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.599
hand that's a problem it's just that um you know you might want to use only 10

00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:55.080
of them at a given time when you're working on a tablet um you know what

00:02:53.239 --> 00:02:58.319
moving right along uh let's have a look at the physicality of the unit so

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:03.159
there's a USB port here and what's cool about this is it supports USB on the go

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:07.519
which means that it can not only act as a in device mode but also in host mode

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:13.879
so if you were to plug a keyboard for example into it then it can it can you

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:17.519
can use that okay it will act as the the tablet will act as a host instead of the

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:20.480
other way around so you can actually pair it with the keyboard and use a

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:24.760
keyboard on the device which is very very cool there's your headphone jack

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:28.920
which is pretty standard moving right along not a whole lot not a whole lot

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:34.480
there's a light sensor on it somewhere ah there it is as well well as the front facing camera there's your power there's

00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:38.599
your volume rocker the back is very nice I'm actually not a big fan of metal

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:43.480
backs on tablets because they tend to get grimy looking uh they tend to get

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:47.920
stained very easily they're heavier they're just they're cold or they're too

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.760
hot they're just not that comfortable so this is a rubberized backing which has a

00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:54.760
bit of a grippy texture to it that's very very nice now I loved the

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.599
Blackberry playbook for a couple of reasons it was super Snappy great as a

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:03.159
little web browsing device and I thought the form factor was just perfect so as

00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.879
you guys can probably imagine the Nexus 7 definitely floats my boat in much the

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:12.720
same way I just want to have a quick look at what's included so you got your warranty card as well as a quick start

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:17.519
guide uh charging whoops charging cable as well as a charger so not a huge

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:21.720
accessory package by any stretch of the imagination so let's get logged in here

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:27.280
and let's have a look at some of the differences this is one of my

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:32.720
favorite tablet benchmarks for a couple of reasons because it just seems to to

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:38.479
absolutely destroy every tablet and other mobile device that I have ever had

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:43.479
the pleasure of encountering so here I've got my other two favorite tablets

00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:46.919
uh the iPad 2 I don't have an iPad 3 unfortunately I wish I could uh talk

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:52.320
about that one a little bit and then I've also got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 so this

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.400
is running the older honeycomb version

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:59.000
of Android so give me 2 seconds and I'm going to get this page loaded up so the

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:02.400
screen doesn't have quite the Vibrance that uh oh sorry this one actually has

00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:07.400
flash on it so the video is even been trying to play it doesn't have quite the

00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:09.199
Vibrance of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and not

00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:14.039
quite the brightness of the iPad too but it's very very passable and it's a

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:15.240
smaller screen anyway so um actually

00:05:14.039 --> 00:05:19.800
that doesn't really make a difference at all okay this is something that just

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:24.080
absolutely tanks the performance of every mobile

00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:27.680
browser that I've had the displeasure of using trying to view YouTube comments

00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:31.639
which as you guys can imagine is something that I do try to do on tablet

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:38.120
so I want you guys to just have a quick look at what the fluidity is like so yes

00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:42.199
the UI on the Nexus 7 is absolutely

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:44.520
gorgeous and amazing and so smooth and

00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:49.600
looks like it decided to do this a slightly different way for me here give

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.039
me a sec guys oops so this is cool they

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:56.759
have uh with the Chrome and YouTube app integration that they've done here this

00:05:54.199 --> 00:06:00.199
is this is absolutely awesome so instead of clicking on this and having it open

00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:05.479
in Chrome it actually opens in the YouTube app which is so much smoother

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.120
compared to trying to navigate in Chrome for things like reading comments and

00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:12.919
seeing related videos and seeing the information all you do is rotate it and

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:17.800
it goes ahead and puts it in I'm just going to turn that down a little bit

00:06:14.960 --> 00:06:22.479
there we go goes ahead and puts it in uh video viewing mode for you rotation is

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:25.599
pretty smooth however for the sake of showing you guys what I think of the

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.400
performance here this is cool too when you're clicking on something small it's

00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:33.479
really neat it pops it up for you so you can make sure you click the right thing

00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:38.639
so we're going to go ahead and view the comments of that video in much the same

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:44.000
way that we're looking at them on the other tablets so I'll show you guys how

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:49.360
this tanks the performance of pretty much every tablet ever and I quite can't

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:55.120
quite figure out why but the Nexus 7 does better than so the iPad in spite of

00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:59.560
its normal smoothness you can see legs quite a bit behind when I'm trying to

00:06:57.400 --> 00:07:03.479
browse comments and just has sort of glitches and the loading same thing with

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:07.280
older Android tablets you can see it's very very glitchy trying to browse this

00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:10.720
for whatever reason uh it doesn't help when there are tons of comments on the

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:15.000
video and this particular one has a few thousand comments so you can see it's

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:19.039
actually not as bad as I've come to expect from Android tablets it's closer

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:23.280
to the experience you have with the iPad 2 but with some of the UI tweaks that

00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:27.680
they've made I would never have to use this kind of an interface for it anyway

00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:32.400
which is very very refreshing tagra games run obviously

00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:37.120
better on the Nexus 7 you can see the older Tegra 2 is chopping up a little

00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:40.960
bit just watching this spaceship hover around and demolitioning whereas here

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:46.759
I'm just going to brace myself so you can uh see the smoothness compared to

00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:50.479
the Galaxy Tab 10.1 well you'll have to take my word for it cuz apparently you

00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:54.800
can't see that at all and uh the lighting in here is absolutely terrible

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:59.599
but whatever okay so we're going to do that play play the graphics also look

00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:04.919
better just due to the higher pixel density so you can see lots of aliasing

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:08.680
and garbage on this one whereas here the line Looks a Lot smoother uh it's not

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:13.680
because it's running at higher res it's just the uh the higher pixel density

00:08:11.479 --> 00:08:19.479
that's all yeah it looks so much sharper and

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:24.520
runs way smoother you can see it start to chug as it tries to zoom in on the

00:08:22.159 --> 00:08:30.360
city here that is absolutely uh absolutely

00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:34.719
outstanding I mean none of this should really come as a surprise given that it

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:39.240
is a Tegra 3 processor and that is better than a Tegra 2 but just the

00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:44.200
fluidity is uh is very very nice there's a few other tweaks that I really really

00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:46.800
like already about uh about the Nexus 7

00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:53.600
so one of them is the quick access to settings as well as the quick access

00:08:49.800 --> 00:08:55.279
here to your rotation lock um little

00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:00.760
things like that that make me really happy touchcreen is very very accurate

00:08:57.640 --> 00:09:05.040
and moving around Within the I mean it's

00:09:00.760 --> 00:09:06.839
just so lightning fast and smooth that

00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:13.760
it's just makes everything else look like a joke um that we've seen in the

00:09:10.760 --> 00:09:16.160
past let's just go back let's go back to

00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:18.680
home oh let's load up the NVIDIA glow ball demo cuz who doesn't love the glow

00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:22.480
ball demo I haven't actually seen it in

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:27.160
person before because this is the first time I've had access to a uh to a Tegra

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:33.160
3 Tablet cool I don't know how to use it

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:37.839
or anything oh you tilt it okay I guess that makes sense we glow ball okay this

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:43.279
is sort of less fun than I thought it was going to be boom you knock things

00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:47.560
over with physics okay sorry I'm done now so I think that pretty much wraps it

00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:53.399
up I don't know how much else there is for me to say about it other than um so

00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:56.560
far I'm really impressed it basically is everything that it sounds like it is

00:09:54.839 --> 00:10:01.200
it's a Tegra 3 tablet at a $1.99 price point for the 8

00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:04.360
gig version you don't get any SD expansion so that's maybe one thing that

00:10:03.160 --> 00:10:10.399
some people won like about it oh yeah there's a speaker on the back right under the ASUS logo that bar right there

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:16.640
uh so yeah it's a it's a it's a it's a 199 Tegra 3 tablet that has a very nice

00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:20.480
screen good form factor great build quality and I'm overall very impressed

00:10:18.760 --> 00:10:25.240
and is my camera really not focusing like this entire

00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:29.000
time oh it's just the contrast okay well the screen looks a lot better than it

00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:32.440
does in my pathetic camera so I'm sorry for that but thank you for checking out
