ASO: why Nexus. - PC Week / RE

Send

second day, I stopped to envy Andrei Kolesov. Because bought exactly the same Nexus 7. However, to continue the series SHE (experience begins androidista) I can not, because this is my fourth unit on the platform Android (the first three – ViewPad 7, HTC One and ASUS Transformer). There will be another series – ASO (advanced androidista experiments).

I’ll start with the main – secondary reasons for choosing this device (I have already mentioned the main – envy).

Secondly, Nexus does not burdened with a bunch of unnecessary pre-installed applications from the manufacturer of the tablet, the removal of which requires mandatory “rutovaniya.” That is, it installed the “pure” Android. However, some Google-Apps, I would still deleted or at least hidden to reduce the number of icons in the launch area.

Thirdly, Nexus better than any other similar devices adapted for experiments with firmware that IT journalist is extremely important. Ubuntu can be viewed on the tablet. In addition, at the beginning of next year is expected to release for ROSA mobile.

Now a few words about the features of the second generation of the Nexus 7. The first thing that catches your eye – a strange pricing principle. Tablet with 4G-module and 32 gigabytes of memory costs about 5 thousand rubles more expensive device without the SIM-card and 16 gigabytes of memory. If we take into account that the 5 th. you can buy 4G-modem, a router with the function marching charger and more money left over at the antenna, the choice of a particular model is obvious. Unlike logic manufacturer, which in this case is completely incomprehensible.

In Nexus 7 is no slot for a memory card. And rightly so in my subjective opinion. Programs and games 16 gigabytes enough for the eyes. And movies and music can be stored on a USB flash drive connection which

However, the time to draw conclusions until there was little. I think after the Christmas holidays in the ointment will be a lot of spoons of tar. By the way, I found another one when buying.

I asked the seller how many customers have requested tablets immediately pasted on the screen matte film. The answer did not surprise me – much more than half. Why not do this operation at the factory? I think that this modification will be much more popular model with 4G-module.
