Sharp looking
Best Android tablet ever
Good price
Everything—especially tablets—should have front-facing speakers. At first the Nexus 9's speakers seemed dangerously close to the edge
But my palms actually didn't block them they way they block the bottom-mounted stereo speakers on an iPad Air. They aren

The editors didn't like
Some unfortunate graphics bugs
Terrible buttons
Nexus devices are supposed to show off the perfect mesh of stock Android and thoughtfully designed hardware
But the Nexus 9 puts Android's big-screen shortcomings front and center. I hate
Hate
Hate having to really deliberately stretch my t
Stuttering and pauses between app switches are too common
Slightly loose plastic backing gives the device a cheap feeling
White bleed from the top of the screen is unfortunate
Auto-EQ on speakers goes so far as to ruin certain music and loud scenes
No Micro SD card slot for expansion and its limited to a 32GB max capacity
Slow charging
Display is solid but not quite premium
Cameras are average
Still not comfortable for 1-hand use
Horrible camera
Average battery life
Hefty price
No microSD card slot
The Google Nexus 9's pricing starts at $399 for the 16GB version. This is a just a good tablet but I can't recommend it at this price tag. It w
Awkward button placement
Poor audio quality
Poor camera. Some apps need to be updated. Android is still a bit behind Windows on productivity apps and iOS on high-profile games and apps
Rubberized back is fingerprint- and streak-prone
No MicroSD card slot for storage expansion
Slow to charge
Ho-hum battery life
Not all apps work smoothly with Android 5.0 yet. Firm contact is necessary for efficient touchscreen response and it's slow to charge. The largest capacity model offered is 32GB and there's no microSD card slot
Chassis is very basic
Density can make it hard to hold for long periods of time
Dull design and materials given the price
Not quick to charge
Some display light bleed
Early processor optimisation issues
Noticeable heat build up
Lacklustre camera
Not as consistently fast as it should be. Screen is too reflective for some outdoor conditions. Optional Keyboard Folio is buggy
And using it on the fly can grow annoying
Mediocre hardware
Feels cheap
Lacks external storage support
Very slow to start up
Build quality issues
Sluggish performance
Lack of tablet-optimized apps
Minimal tabletoptimized apps available from Google
High price
Low available storage capacity
Inconsistent build quality
Mediocre fit & finish
Limited to 16/32GB storage with no expansion
Middling cameras
Inconsistent gaming experience
We've seen some complaints of light bleed from early Nexus 9 adopters
And we noticed this too a very narrow strip along the top of the screen in portrait mode is brighter than elsewhere. This wasn't a massive irritation
Fast, fresh new Android Lollipop OS, 4:3 aspect ratio good for reading and web surfing, 64 bit CPU holds promise for the future
Dull design and materials given the price, not quick to charge, some display light bleed
If you're an Android purist and enthusiast who wants OS updates first and prefers a clean Android experience minus UI customizations like TouchWiz, LG UI or HTC Sense, then the Nexus 9 has clear appeal. Likewise, if you're that guy or gal who spends quali...
