You no longer have to wait to know everything about Nexus 9, since the new Google tablet is official and speculation over what can be expected to include. In addition, as expected, it integrates the new version of the Android operating system (called Lollipop), so its appeal is even greater since this model is more than just new hardware.
To begin with, it must be said that the dimensions of the IPS LCD screen of the Nexus 9 are confirmed, since the Mountain View company gives the assault until the 8,9 inches (with an aspect ratio of 4: 3, which also differs from previous models in the same product range). The resolution reaches 2.048 x 1.536, so we are talking about a more than acceptable quality on paper. By the way, this component has Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
Other details that have been confirmed is the processor inside the tablet, a Nvidia Tegra K1 (and its fantastic Kepler GPU from the same company that ensures spectacular gaming performance) at 2,3 GHz. Apart from being a more than competent SoC, and which has shown its quality in benchmarks, it must be said that one of Its great attractions is that it uses 64-bit architecture, which fits perfectly with the new version of Android, which includes support to get the most out of it.
As far as RAM is concerned, it reaches the 2 GB, which is not something that is spectacular exactly, but it should be enough so that the fluidity when using the Nexus 9 is adequate. Of course, it has little or nothing to envy other models in the tablet market, so it has been somewhat conservative in this section.
Connectivity, storage and more ...
It must be said that when it comes to the technologies to connect the Nexus 9, Google has not left anything in the pipeline, since this model offers compatibility with 4G networks, it has Dual WiFi (802.11 ac 2 × 2 MIMO), Bluetooth 4.1 and, also, NFC. That is, everything that any user needs and, therefore, all kinds of options and uses are from the start.
The internal storage is resolved in two configurations, 16 and 32 GB, so in principle it is enough, although the truth is that in these times offering sixty-four "gigs" is not far-fetched, so you could expect a step here by Google. By the way, it should be mentioned that when it comes to microSD cards….
As it can not be otherwise, the Nexus 9 has two cameras, a 1,6 megapixel front and a rear one. 8 Mpx (f / 2.4) with LED flash. Therefore, we say goodbye to the times when this section was the least remarkable in the Google tablet, since now the sensors are more than enough and videoconferences, for example, are carried out with a high quality (superior to HD if necessary with the rear and 720p with the front).
Design and final considerations
The colors that will initially be offered when buying the Nexus 9 in white, black and gold, with a metal body, without knowing if other shades will be from the game. As for the dimensions, these are 153, 68 x 228,25 x 7,95 mm, while the weight is 425 grams for the WiFi only model and 436 grams for the 4G compatible. It is neither the finest nor the lightest model on the market, but it is not at all out of place.
There are also interesting details to comment on. For example, the tablet includes front stereo speakers that are compatible with BoomSound, making it possible her that HTC is the company that has manufactured the device. This makes the sound quality really good, and that no other model on the market can overshadow this one from Google. In addition, it must be said that the battery offers a charge of 6.700 mAh, which according to the company allows an autonomy of 9,5 hours browsing via WiFi.
An interesting detail of this new Nexus 9 is that, as you can drink in the image that we leave below, it arrives with an accessory-style sleeve with magnetic latch that includes a keyboard (referred to as the Folio keyboard and sold separately), which increases the options for use, especially those aimed at productivity. In this way, an important gap is filled that some users demanded for the Google tablet that, now, does not have much to envy the Microsoft Surface, for example.
As for availability, it must be said that as confirmed by Google, in the first regions in which this tablet goes on sale (which for now have not been confirmed, but the US is sure to be one of them) can begin with the reservation on the 17th of this month of October, starting the final sale on November 3th. The price of this tablet can be found at this link Android Help, but the cheapest model should be noted that it stands at 400 euros.
