Google's Second Generation Nexus 7 Benchmarks

MojoKid writes "Google's second gen Nexus 7 tablet is a worthy successor to the original, boasting an improved design both internally and externally. It's thinner and lighter, has a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC, 2GB of RAM, a higher resolution 1920X1200 display and it's running the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean release. The display alone was a nice upgrade in a 7-inch slate that retails for well under $300. However, it turns out the new Nexus 7 is also one of the fastest tablets out there right now, with benchmark numbers that best some of the top tablets on the market, especially in graphics and gaming. From a price/performance standpoint, Google's second generation Nexus 7 seems to be the tablet to beat right now."

    Yes, all 12 of the people who want to do that should stick with the older Nexus 7. The rest of us who want an inexpensive, awesome tablet can get the new Nexus 7. (My wife's came today, mine comes Friday and our kids are getting our last year's Nexus 7s). The new one is very nice. I couldn't give a rat's ass about modding the thing.

    This. This x1000. And it's so stupid- it's Google arrogance that keeps SD expansion off Nexus devices.
