Back in 2013, I was having tutor classes for my finals and my teacher had one of these. I remember noticing how nice the tablet looked, how bright and vivid the display was and how smooth the UI felt. That was the first time I came in contact with a Nexus product as well as when I learned about stock Android. A year later I purchased a Nexus 5 which, to this day, is still the phone that provided me with the most joyful experience and made me feel exactly the same as I felt about the tablet.

Coming from a Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, the Nexus 5 was leaps and bounds ahead - the feel in the hand, the IPS display, the stock Android KitKat experience, the performance, I could go on. It had its shortcomings, such as the battery and camera, but the pros outweighed the cons. In the 5 years of using it, I've learned how to root it and flash custom ROM's and kernels, and it still runs to this day. Now it's sitting inside its original box and I've flashed it back to the very first build of Android KitKat just for originality's sake.

Nexus 7 2013 really is peak Android tablet.

Nexus 7 was my first tablet ever. It was bought to carry my electronic books I needed in my university. The size of it was just perfect! Very nice to carry in one hand!
Years later, I got iPad 9 with Apple Pencil. Then I changed it to iPad Pro and iPad Mini. But none of them were ever used as heavily, as I used my Nexus 7 during my bachelor studies.❤
I think it was a great Tablet back in time! I didn’t experience any problems with it! It is a bit sad, that now market for the small screen smartphones and tablets is decreasing.

I still have my nexus 7 2013 in 2024. Its still perform well, battery changed to new. The screen started to burn after 11 years. Its amazing.🎉

Just started to use the nexus 7 again. The experience is just remarkable. The gyro is shot but nothing that screen rotate can fix. Performance is pretty good and perfect for the simple stuff.

Watching this on my 2013 Nexus 7 32gb. This thing is still a beast! It's a shame this line was abandoned. If you were to make a tablet with today's spec standards in this form and size it would sell like hotcakes! Would be the ipad mini competitor!

I've used so many tablets, ios and android and this one was the most memorable

I actually started using it after this video. I remember being really happy with it at the time it launched.

I bought myself one of these as a reward for graduating college! One of my best purchases ever :)

someone need to make an updated nexus 7 :( we need more 7 inch tablets

In the UK I bought this for £130. It was a brilliant tablet, amazing screen and good size. Afterwards tablets started going to £300-500 and you needed to pay £350+ to get a decent screen.

Still use my Nexus to watch Youtube and Netflix, probably the best Android tablet when it came out...

Still using my Nexus 7 2013. After all these years it’s still a beast with a gorgeous display.

[hawkins]

Still the best screen for a small tablet, even better than many brand new tablets in 2021!

These are one of the best tablets to repurpose today. Many applications for vehicle infotainment still exist.

I remember when I received this tablet as a christmas present as a 7-year-old kid. Many, many Angry Birds levels were completed.

[iamR-cyjb]

I still use mine for games, books, and videos. It's till amazing. It charges slow but other than that, it's still a great tablet.

[johnsamurphy]

Still better than all 2g RAM tablets today.

My dad uses Nexus7 2011 for GPS. Still working. Good battery life.

I still use mine to fly DJI phantom. The app is heavy these days but solved any shortcomings by over clocking the N7 2013 just enough stay ahead. It works great. I have newer iPhone and Samsung I could use instead but it's hard to beat the beautiful big screen
