Reflections from bright lights were minimal too. It's incredibly bright, reaching a peak 526.22cd/m2 at its maximum setting, meaning you'll be able to take it outside on a bright day and still be able to see everything onscreen. The 7in, 16:10 IPS panel has fantastic viewing angles and colour accuracy is superb, even beating the iPad Mini in our tests by covering 100% of the sRGB colour gamut. The screen is, without a doubt, the new Nexus 7's crowning feature.

The tablet even looks a little asymmetric with the black Android interface bar at the bottom, but this is just an optical illusion and one that disappears when watching videos in landscape mode. The top and bottom bezels are still as thick as they were before, but arguably you need this much room to stop your thumbs from obscuring the screen. The importance of this shouldn't be underestimated no tablet at this size can match it in terms of how pleasant it is to hold for long periods. Combined with a thinner screen bezel (around 6mm from either side) you really notice the difference when holding the tablet one-handed – smaller hands will be able to hold it comfortably and it won't give you wrist ache after a train journey spent leafing through eBooks. It's also lost weight, dropping from 340g to 290g. The same certainly can't be said of the slick new version, which has slimmed down to a mere 8.7mm thick. It should also be mentioned that availability is scarce, where you'll be able to find the tablet for around £110 on eBay, cheaper than our original review that was based on a £170 price tag.Īlthough you could never call the original Nexus 7 ugly, the silver plastic edging around the screen bezel and dimpled rubberised chassis certainly made it feel a little toy-like.
