Each fingerprint is a mark of love
Google’s Nexus 7 worries me. As an iPad
and BlackBerry PlayBook owner, I’ve been
snobbish towards genuine Android tablets.
Now, and as the Nexus 7 gently lands on my
desk, I’ve seen the light. If you’re going
to own a tablet, it should be this one. Thin,
light and fast, this is everything the upcoming
iPad Mini should be. But it’s the unique
“Googleness” of the tablet that warms
me to it.
Screen test
Here’s the thing: The 800×1280, 216 PPI,
multi-touch Corning Gorilla Glass display is
exceptional. It’s all about the screen in
fact. For once, here’s a tablet that’s
unconcerned with physicality. It just “is”
and the zen-like design bleeds through into
every facet of the Nexus 7.
The delectable home screen
The screen’s clearer than the majority of
7-inchers I’ve had my hands on. This
includes the Kindle Fire, PlayBook and the
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0. It bleeds class, it
stinks of it. I won’t compare this to an
upscaled iPhone 4S screen (that’s
impossible at 320 PPI) but in terms of
sharpness and the buttery-smooth interface,
it comes pretty close to nailing how a tablet
screen should look.
