The device features a carefully polished aluminum design, which gives it a very elegant at the same consistent look. The device is available in three colors: black, white and beige, so that the user can choose according to your personal tastes. The device has some measures 228.25 x 153.68 x 7.95 mm, which makes it a medium-sized terminal.

The tablet features an eight-megapixel main camera, with which we can make high quality photographs. It has optical stabilizer, for those that will shake the pulse when recording videos or taking snapshots. It also has LED flash so your pictures come out as sharp as possible when you take them at night, and autofocus. Meanwhile, the front is 1.6 megapixels, but does not seem to us that have great quality; the truth is that it is a bit tricky taking snapshots with this type of equipment. We may also make video calls selfies or through applications such as Hangouts or Skype. The team also allows you to record videos in HD quality.

The Nexus 9 can play the following multimedia formats: MP3 / MPEG4 / H.263 / H.264 +. Also, we must mention the sound quality of this terminal. At this point, we have to indicate that the device has two front stereo speakers with HTC BoomSound technology, which offers a plus when it comes to media playback with high quality audio.

Processor and memory

With a processor with 64-bit architecture, Google wanted to anticipate problems that may arise in the Android Lollipop Nexus 9. K1 Tegra processor is a dual core operating at a frequency of 2.3 gigahertz. The graphics are the responsibility of Kepler DX1, a fairly unknown card for the market. The team also has two gigabytes of RAM, so we can run all the applications you want without us having any problems.

As for internal memory, the computer will be available in 16 and 32 gigabytes, depending on what the user prefers. Additionally, this second edition will feature a model with 4G, so you can navigate high-speed Internet. Equipment capacity may be increased due to having a slot for inserting a microSD card that will allow up to 128 gigabytes, more than enough space to store all the files you want. If you still are those who prefer to save files in the cloud, you can always use a service like DropBox or Google Drive.

Operating System and Applications

One of the highlights of the Nexus 6 is that premieres OS: Android Lollipop. Although some months ago that Google showed its new software, now is when we can see perfectly developed. The platform incorporates flat colors, simple fonts and a much clearer when use interface.

But the Mountain View company has not only wanted to improve their appearance, but also its functionality. This edition incorporates improvements in notifications, such as that can be configured to only receive messages or applications people want. Plus, you can access them directly from the lock screen. Another key point is the safety Lollipop Android, which has functions as a way for guests. It also offers an improved battery saving tool.

Thanks to this system, the user will have access to over a million applications incorporating Google Play. Among the most important we have Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, so that consumers are entertained at all times.

Connectivity and autonomy

As we have mentioned before, there will be one version of the 32-gigabyte model will feature 4G. We assume that this edition will be considerably more expensive, but probably worth it. Also, the kit comes with NFC for mobile payments, as well as more basic connections like WiFi to connect to wireless networks. It also comes with GPS, so do not miss road and Bluetooth to synchronize it with other terminals.

Its battery has 6,700 milliamps, which will involve a range of 9 hours of continuous use. The truth is that it’s pretty good for a device of this nature.

Availability and reviews

The Nexus 9 can book from October 17 and will be sold from November 3. Although we find an item that we hardly disappoint (more if you look at the trajectory of the Nexus range at the moment), it remains to be seen whether the terminal will rise in price. And, even though Google has not yet provided official data, hospitalizations media say that would be about 500 euros.

If these reports were true, it would mean that the Mountain View company is joining the escalating prices that led other brands such as Samsung. For the moment, keeping to what we know, we have a more than capable team, which has not been spared either in hardware or software, and at the time of its release will lead undoubtedly lists of the best high-end tablets.
