The special thing about this exclusive tablet from Google is that it has not been furnished with extra sophisticated specs that you might come across in the high-end tablets from other big brands but still this device supersedes many others because of the unique classy design and impeccable performance that you will experience once you try it yourself. The main reason behind this fact is the superfast processor and the latest version of Android introduced in this tablet. At an amazing price ranging from $399 to $479, you can get hold of the wonderful 16GB and 32GB versions of Nexus 9 quite easily.
Hardware
One of the major strengths of Google Nexus 9 is its sturdy hardware and simplistic yet latest specs. It has a Denver dual-core processor giving up to 2.3GHz and is the pioneer in making use of the 64-bit chip from Nvidia Tegra K1. These specs are responsible for a superfast processing capability and the advanced Bluetooth and Wi-Fi features make the device give quick connectivity.
The earlier tablets from Nexus were without the facility of adding microSD card for an increased memory and same is the trend kept up by Nexus 9. But as it comes directly from Google, the web giant, you have unlimited options of storage through the online cloud-based counterparts of Google that compensate for the storage issues caused by above missing feature. With these services, you won’t find the 16GB and 32GB memory limited. The soon-to-come 32GB version that is also 4G LTE supportive will be able to give you more space online for better storage.
Layout
Google Nexus 9 has a relatively simplistic design that is not exceptionally fancy like the other tablets but still has a clear sense of elegance and grace that give it a competitive edge over the others. All the parts have been put together in such harmony with each other that the overall outlook appears utterly pleasing to the senses. As the device has been manufactured by HTC, you will find that suave HTC touch present in this tablet as well.
Nexus 9 is available in the basic shades of white, black and gold. The device is altogether easy to hold without the risk of falling off because the matte finish given to its back makes it less slippery. The metal frame with round corners and 8.9-inch display are some other prominent features that set this device a class apart. The side buttons for power and volume have been blended so nicely into the layout, giving the tablet a seamless appearance. Moreover the speakers have also been placed inconspicuously on the front side of the tablet.
Despite of all the fine features found in this tablet, there are some points where it truly lags behind its competitors. First is its weight and second is the thickness that makes all the difference. Nexus 9 has not considered the latest trends of light-weight and ultra-slim tablets and that is what makes it stay a bit behind.
Presence of Latest Android Version
Another major point of difference of Nexus 9 is the introduction of the most recent android Lollipop 5.0. When everything else in this tablet is according to the pure Google standards, then how can it miss out on the operating system on which the total performance depends? That’s why the new android has been unveiled finally through the medium of Nexus 9, making this feature a big reason for Nexus’s success.
This android adds a whole new experience to the tablet that gives users a strong reason to try the tablet once.

Once you swipe to open up the lock, you have another set of interactive features at your disposal. The display is quite closely similar to the Google Now page with icons giving similar appearance. Many of the titles given to the icons have also been replaced by some new names this time. You will have a keyboard case with this device as well that will facilitate you whenever you carry your tablet along while you travel long distances.
Performance
Performance-wise, Nexus 9 is a super-hit. The processor fixed into this device is self-sufficient in providing enough speed and power to the device for an efficient performance.
