It's been ten years since the 2013 Nexus 7 was released, and no tablet since has recaptured the magic of that era.

Ten years ago today, Google released the 2nd-generation Nexus 7, just days after a surprise announcement. Back then, Android tablets still felt fresh and exciting. It seemed like anything was possible, and things could only improve from there. Well, we know what happened next. But the depressing state of the tablet market to come was in no way the fault of the Nexus 7. In fact, this is still one of the best Android tablets ever made, and it’s worth looking back and showing it the honor and respect it deserves.

    Really? I use mine like crazy with no issues. I use mostly Android and Chrome apps, and rarely start the Linux container.

      If you use the camera it drain the battery really fast. That’s what I noticed. For everything else is ok.
