Good to the point that you worry it's like that kid in high school who could recite his physics textbook backwards but was completely stumped at how to interpret experimental results. Still, the Nexus 7's scores all around are good. It's the opposite thesis of the iPad 3: rather than ratcheting up the internals simply to serve a crazy-high-res screen, a smaller (still pretty high-res) screen lets very good internals shine. You can't get much distance from it when watching a movie. Its small size is to its advantage, efficacy-wise, but size still comes with some downsides: conventional magazine pages and comic book pages are hard to read.

It's important to remember that the Nexus 7 is, well, a 7-inch tablet-much less is asked of its internals than the iPad 3, and its hardware packs slightly more of a punch than the nigh-16-month-old iPad 2. We're not entirely surprised it's disabled.

We've never seen this before in GLBenchmark on an Android device or otherwise, but FSAA seems to be used to make a small improvement to graphics at a high computational cost. Normally we run both the "high" and "standard" versions of GLBenchmark's Egypt and Pro tests, but when we ran the high version on the Nexus 7, the results read only "FSAA is not supported" on the Nexus 7. Given that the iPad 3's beefier hardware seems to exist entirely to support the hard work required to pump out four times as many pixels as the iPad 2, this is not an outrageous result). (The graphs may seem strange in that the iPad 2 outscores the iPad 3.

Scores for the Galaxy Tabs 7.7 and 8.9 are taken from the GLBenchmark website.Īs for GLBenchmark, the Nexus continued to impress with its 12-core NVIDIA GPU, going frame-for-frame-per-second with the iPad 3. Android devices are running v2.1.4, iOS devices are running v2.1.3 (the highest version available). GLBenchmark scores (longer bars are better). We mean no disrespect by that we don't foresee the Nexus 7's extinction in the current tablet climate. While the Nexus 7 is definitely gunning for the Kindle Fire in terms of size, setup, and approach, we'd actually say it's a closer relative of the iPad, the homo floresiensis to the iPad's homo sapiens. The cheapest iPad is still twice the price of the base Nexus 7 at $399 after all (though bump the base Nexus 7 up to the same storage size as the base iPad, and only $150 separates them). We compare at this level not necessarily because we consider the Nexus 7 and iPad to be equals. Finally, we compare it to the Kindle Fire in the only statistical measure it is capable of (the browser-based SunSpider). We also compare a couple of notable Android tablets from the recent past just to show how much the landscape has evolved in a matter of months. Throughout this section, we do compare the Nexus 7 to the last two generations of iPads (see the reviews for the iPad 2 and "the new iPad"). The usual caveats apply (more cores are not necessarily better than fewer, etc.), but the Nexus 7 performs shockingly well in benchmarks, even compared to the iPad 2 and "3." It's almost as if Google thought ahead and tweaked the Nexus 7 to blow the benchmarks it thought we would use out of the water. It was even a surprise to those who attended CES. We don't need to point out that these specs are quite impressive given the price point. The Nexus 7 is packing a 1.3GHz Tegra 3 quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM, a configuration it inherited from its spiritual predecessor, the MeMo 370.
