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.

    I had the T10 and it was horrible. The display was poor and pixelated and it took the entire first day to update software, which was required on first login.

    I seriously thought to return it, the update was taking so long. Eventually it let me log in.

    But then it lasted six months before the screen glitched out and stopped working.
