Introduction
Hi everyone! So basically in this thread i wish to cover everything that one would want to know about the Google Nexus 7! I have a youtube channel which i plan to make the reviews on and embedd them here. I will basically try to cover the Nexus 7 as much in detail as possible. Hopefully my series of videos will help you truly to get to know this device and help you in the decision to spend your hard earned money on this device or save it for something better. All Reviews here are my opinions and may differ from your so i encourage you to tell me how you feel about the nexus 7 by leaving a reply to this thread or on my youtube video page.
A bit about myself:
I am an Android user currently. I started using Android about a year back and since then have learnt almost everything Android threw at me. So i have rooted and unbricked and installed tons of ROMs for myself and my friends. I am by no means a developer although I am currently learning to program in Java. I have also got the chance to work with many Android devices in the past year. You can find the list in my signature. I personally have never used Apple devices(i like them but find them very limiting, expensive and overrated)! After a year of using Android devices i have ended up with the Nexus 7 and thought i would help the community by making a series of Videos dedicated to the Nexus 7. Hopefully this series will help the people to decide if the Nexus 7 is the right device for them in the wide world of Android. My previous device was the Galaxy Note N7000!

hey fellows, i haven't got the device yet but i thought i should warn current Nexus 4 owners that their screen might suffer from a yellow tint without noticing.
in a comparison video between an iPhone 5 and Nexus 4 done by Pocketnow.com. (minute 07:40) and with both phones' brightness set to maximum you can notice the N4 whites are awful compared to the i5.
another video comparison shows the Nexus 4 having superior whites than the iPhone's.
it's an issue to look out for if you think your N4 screen did not live up to your expectations.
Peace.
So, make a thread about it!

Search next time.
Really, why are more crap? Didn't yuppy hear what that review said? Do you know anything about warn out cool or natural over tones?
More rumors so people will freak out. If you don't like the phone or do not have one why are you trying poison it?

I find it difficult to believe it is better than iphone 5s. Btw that guy is trolling because if you check his previous s4 vs nexus 5 comparison he got a picture of himself with the s4 which did way better than the nexus 5 and in this new comparison he seems to have stolen the s4 picture and sell it for nexus 5 selfie lol check it carefully and you will see what I am talking about

You my friend might be the descendent of priests that didn't believe Galileo despite his objective evidence.
I wish I knew apple's brainwashing tactics and used it to my advantage to rule the world

Idk how can you bring up priests to make non sense comparisons in a tech forum but go ahead check his s4 vs nexus 5 and you will see. Camera is good but not better than iphone 5s. Hate apple as much as you want but their camera and display is the best.

Everything I needed to see was in that first video I posted. I would love to discuss the technical aspects of the two cameras. But if you're gonna stick to arguments like "Hate apple as much as you want but their camera and display is the best" without anything to back it up, I'm not sure there'd be a point...

Did you read what I said? The guy who made the video you posted used the s4 selfie pictures to compare to the iphone 5s and named it nexus 5 selfie. Go watch his s4 vs nexus 5 camera video, Galileo
Optical image stabilization equipped camera always beat non-OIS camera. The reasons nexus 5 beat all these heavy hitters cause all these s4,note3,iphone5s camera dint have it.

Check out the last few pages of the nexus 5 pictures thread. There's a few guys who have taken pictures with the nexus 5 and iPhone 5s. No reviews, just pictures. Check out out and you'll see the difference yourself. From what I saw in the pictures the nexus 5 has a better camera, especially in low light conditions.

According to that test even the nexus 4 has better camera than the iphone 5s. Anyways camera is good I like it. Glad google did a great job with it. I wish they did the same woth the speakers. However the link the op quotes is a distortion. And I do not understand why feel the need to compare with iphones when you know yours is better

Seems fair to me, although I wish they would include more pics. I like how they "stressed" the camera by taking photos in non-ideal environments, i.e. any phone can take beautiful pictures of buildings outside, on a sunny day.
PA also did a camera comparison versus iPhone 5S and I was thoroughly impressed

Are you talking about his Nexus 5 vs S4 camera comparison video? Cuz if you are you'll notice he's not even wearing the same clothes in the two videos. How do you figure he used the S4 selfie in the iPhone comparison?? Go back to your iPhone fanboy forums and spin your lies there.

I'm not sure what you mean by distortion. The video that he posted is the best all around camera performance demo that I have found. Covers audio, video, photos, and HDR and non-HDR performance. The need to compare it with the 5s is because the iphone has always been known to put great cameras in their phones. So it serves as a standard. Please understand my attempt was not to start a hate war on apple, afterall this is an android development forum and I don't reckon many apple fans would be here, except for that one guy above (what is he doing here anyways). If I wanted to start a war I'd be on cnet or something

Lol strong point you got there but I have always used android and I will keep rocking this bad boy. If there is any fanboys here that is you and others like you that are afraid to hear another phone has better camera.as i said just be happy camera is good. This is a nexus and we like it for other reasons and not for the camera. I got my canon dslr and I use that for awesome pictures. Enjoy.
Hi all,
For anyone contemplating or curious regarding how the Galaxy S10 stacks up against the OnePlus 7 Pro in terms of camera quality, here is a camera comparison featuring Google Tech Corners campus in Sunnyvale, CA! There is a new OTA out addressing camera quality from OnePlus which I will probably make a new video on by the end of the week. Thank you!
Mod edit: Link removed.
Well, i see another video about s10 and op 7 pro camera comparision. There op7 pro was better, there.
I guess the man make it better for the company who pay.
