| Best Android Tablet in the market yet |
Asus and Google has teamed up once again to deliver the sequel of the popular 7 inch screen tablet, the Nexus 7. The device runs the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The second iteration of the 7" tablet, code named "Razor", has various upgrades from the previous generation. Scroll to check them out.
Build
Display

Under the Scratch resistant Corning� glass lies the display, which is a jewel in the crown. Nexus 7 generation two features a 7.02 inch display of 1920x1200 resolution gives a pixel density of 323 ppi, highest ever on tablet. It has a 16:10 aspect ratio. It looks perfect while viewing it in landscape view. Also the Nexus logo is changed, it is rotated by 90 degrees. I guess Google is indicating that this device is supposed to be used in landscape mode, but you can enjoy reading books on it in the portrait mode too.
Camera
This years Nexus 7 features a rear camera which was missing in the original Nexus 7. It is a f2.4 AutoFocus lens of 5 megapixel, capable of Full-HD video recording. The camera quality is below par in low lighting conditions, but works fine in presence of ample light.
The front camera features a 1.2 megapixel lens, 720p video recording, great for Hangouts video calls. The only thing which I didnt like was the absence of flash. But I have to admit that it feels awkward when clicking photos using a tablet.
