- description: What follows are our first impressions of the Nexus 7. We'll follow this up with a full, rated review once we've taken the time to actually use the device and fully explore its features. Look for the full review soon. The Nexus 7 looks thin, but is actually about as thick as most 7-inch tablets. (Credit: Josh Miller/CNET) Just how sweet is that Bean? The Nexus 7 will be the first device to run the latest version of the Android 4.1 OS, also known as Jelly Bean. One of the purported new Android 4.1 features is improved precision when typing on the soft keyboard. After taking it out of the box, I wanted to quickly put this to the test. I usually make lots of mistakes when texting on my iPhone 4 or even when testing on other tablets. However, when signing in to my Google account on the Nexus 7, I was able to type fast without making a single mistake. This rarely happens to me on any touch-screen device. While I did eventually begin making mistakes, I felt much more like they were my own errors and not the tablet misinterpreting my taps. I'm not saying it's perfect, it's just better than what I've experienced on Android tablets before. At least that's my impression after spending only a couple of hours with the device. Though Android 4.1 on the Nexus 7 is just as customizable as previous incarnations of the OS, the way it's presented on this tablet feels much more controlled, focused, and possibly a bit less intimidating to the uninitiated, Android tablet virgins. Makes sense given that Google is, ostensibly, going after the same market Amazon targeted with the Kindle Fire, which has an even more controlled user experience. The home screen is presented in portrait mode only and doesn't rotate. There's a "toolbar" of apps along the bottom, all of which are Google services apps like Play, Music, Books, and Magazines. The Nexus 7 represents Google's first foray into the tablet hardware space. Partnering with Asus, the company has finally unveiled its Nexus 7 tablet. A $200 quad-core 7-incher, the Nexus 7 has its sites set directly at the Kindle Fire. I've had the chance to play around with one for a few hours. Here's what I've found so far. The Nexus 7 sports a 7-inch, IPS (in-plane switching) screen, with a resolution of 1,280x800 pixels. The tablet is also the first 7-incher to house a 1.3GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU, which includes a 12-core GPU. Rounding out the specs are a Micro-USB port, 1GB of RAM, a 1.2-megapixel front camera (no back camera included), a gyroscope, GPS, accelerometer, microphone, and 802.11a/b/g/n-compatible Wi-Fi. The Google Nexus 7 sports a great-looking screen that packs tons of pixels into a small space. (Credit: Josh Miller/CNET) Look and feel The device measures 10.45mm thick, weighs 0.7 pound, and has a textured, grippy backside with both "Nexus" and "Asus" embossed on it. Built by Asus, the Nexus 7 feels lighter than the Kindle Fire and the soft, textured back makes the tablet comfortable to hold. The IPS screen has a wider viewing angle than the Kindle Fire and even wider than some 10-inch Android tablets. The 1,280x800 resolution packed into a 7-inch display gives visuals like text and graphics a sharper look than what I'm typically used to seeing on most 7-inchers.
