Google Nexus 7 Review by Pixel Smashers

Google has taken aim at the Kindle Fire with a new 7inch tablet called the Nexus 7. The market is really heating up with competition especially with Apple’s iPad. So, does the Nexus 7 make a great connection with consumers or does it fall apart and sit on the shelf? Let’s take our rooting skills to the table and dig down to see if it’s worth the price.

The grips makes it look similar to my switch with Nyxi joycons attached.

i forgot my account is private, I dont go on insta very often.
Maybe this one works: https://scontent-lax3-1.xx....

That looks nice. I like the GameCube style joycons, I don't know why people downvote, if it's not their taste just leave the post as is. MP remastered a masterpiece I have it myself to. I bought the Hori Split Pad Pro, they are pretty good.

This looks absolutely beautiful. It demonstrates that Microsoft has a vision for where gaming should be going. Sadly I fear that Sony with its cloud-only PS Portal machine will be left behind in the dust. These are the closing days of the PS5 era.

Ps5conehead41d ago

What are you talking about the closing days of ps5 era

crazyCoconuts41d ago

I think you forgot to add the /s at the end

Cloud only PS Portal? It's a £200 streaming device. It has two jobs remote play from a ps5 and stream from the cloud noting else. It's essentially a accessory.

This Microsoft/Asus handheld is a handheld pc that's going to be £400+. How you can compare it to a streaming accessory I don't know lol. Microsoft/Asus really need to do something incredible with this. As we are currently at a time where everyone seems to be releasing a new handheld gaming pc on a daily basis.

Reverse psychology? XD

andy8541d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Dunno about anyone else but the cloud streaming on the portal is absolutely awesome and a device under 200. And once beta is finished 1000+ games to stream instantly. This is gonna be priced 500+ minimum, to still stream gamepass games. That's an odd comparison with the portal

Profchaos41d ago

You realise this is a portable gaming PC right it's not a console capable of playing Xbox games.

It's a rog ally with a Xbox skin and more power

quenomamen41d ago

So in your mind outselling your competitor by more than double while just releasing the Pro Model are signs of the closing days for the PS5 huh ? On what planet ate you living ?

InUrFoxHole41d ago

While I agree (for now) the sony era of old has run it's course. The PS portal is a solid device and if sony has shown anything in the past, it's they can make top tier handheld consoles.

Please keep your mouth shut. Thank you.

Also: it looks hideous with a cheap looking build quality

Omg, I took a screenshot of this comment to keep it forever in my archive of "most delusional comments ever". Gongrats, you deserve eternity.

Why does it look damaged and deformed? 😂

darthv7241d ago

it just looks like it needs a good wipe on the screen. Smudgy for a touchscreen.

Profchaos41d ago

Seems like a prototype where it's not finished but the buttons look deformed and damaged as if it was a 3d print job

azedean41d ago

Damn!! It 's ugly as hell!!!I MS gave them some advices on design side... it is thiiiick.

I'll stay with the first one much better design.

popabi41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

It won't outsell the PlayStation Portal.

PlayStation Portal Sales Surge: Nearly 2 Million Units Sold So Far in 2024
https://newfortech.com/tech...

Steam Deck has sold about 4 million units in the three years since its release, dominating 50% of the handheld gaming PC market
https://gigazine.net/gsc_ne...

I would be willing to bet it sells significantly less units than the ROG Ally 2 it's based off.

RaidenBlack41d ago

Portal and this are two different products.
One is a streaming accessory whilst the other is a standalone portable PC with an Xbox branding and buttons.
FYI, this is not the bespoke Xbox handheld that'd be part of Xbox's next-gen console lineup of 2027.
This, Project Keenan, is supposedly just a collab with Asus to produce an Xbox branded Ally 2.

popabi41d ago

So, why aren't you telling that to VenomUK?

No one cares about this thing, it's just a ROG Ally with green LED's and a Xbox button which will probably cost more than the base ROG Ally because of Microsoft licensing fee's.

You can get mad at the negative comparison to the Portal, but I stand by my statement and still think that it won't outsell the base ROG Ally.

Profchaos40d ago

Combined sales of all pc portables only equals 6 million so if steamdeck is at 4 million safe to say ROG is under 2 million sold to date

RaidenBlack40d ago

VenomUK's comment is probably a sarcasm.
Atleast reads like one.

Sitdown40d ago

Was this necessary? My goodness, play the games/devices not the sales game.
