Ships with Lollipop out of the box
Utilitarian tablet for the masses
Feels great to hold
Ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop
Super-fast processor
First tablet with Android Lollipop
Which has lots of new features
The Google Nexus 9 is the first tablet to run Android Lollipop 5.0
Which should receive timely updates. It performs steadily with many apps open
And switching between them is fluid. Its streamlined construction has a deluxe
Comfortable feel
Great screen and speakers
Colourful Lollipop software looks fantastic against the inconspicuous Nexus design
Powerful
The editors didn't like
Pricier than before
No expandable storage
Screen marks very easily with fingerprints
Feels vaguely flimsy
Low volume for notifications is still quite invasive in quiet environments
Screen has glare and leaks light
Android's still has many shortcomings
Expensive
Poor camera
Some apps need to be updated
Android is still a bit behind Windows on productivity apps and iOS on high-profile games and apps
Not all apps work smoothly with Android 5.0 yet. Firm contact is necessary for efficient touchscreen response and it's slow to charge. The largest capacity model offered is 32GB and there's no microSD card slot

Big, sharp screen, Powerful CPU, Pretty and new Android software
Screen has some small issues, Android 5.0 still needs some tweaks, Only available in 16GB and 32GB versions
The Nexus 9 shows where Android tablets of the future should be headed — a little less geek locked in their bedroom, a bit more ‘ordinary person' relaxing in the lounge. However, it also has the raw power underneath to satisfy enthusiasts so it'll come u...
Previous Nexus tablets, particularly the Nexus 7, have been hard to beat for value but that's not the case for the Nexus 9. It's not a bad tablet - especially if performance is a priority - but the screen isn't perfect and neither is build quality. The Sa...
Lack of apps supporting 64-bit processor on Android, camera isn't great
The Nexus 9's powerful 64-bit processor, impressive battery life and business-friendly Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system make it one of the best tablets currently available for either personal or business use....

The Nexus 9 is an excellent Android tablet. If you are a first-time buyer looking for a media-consumption tablet, and 32GB is enough storage, you will not be disappointed. And at the bottom end of the spec you can save money. But for performance, producti...
Android 5.0 Lollipop is a huge improvement, performance is generally smooth, good screen (if not top quality), battery life will be ample for most
Screen-bleeding issues, some teething problems with Android 5.0, average camera
The Nexus 6 is undoubtedly a great tablet, driven largely by the changes brought with Android 5.0 Lollipop. There's no question that the tablet offers huge improvements compared with the previous Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, but the Nexus 9 still feels somewhat lack...
Abstract: It's here my very own brand new Nexus 9 32gb Wifi. I have been looking forward to this day for a wee while as I loved my Nexus 7 (2013) edition and it was in desperate need of a successor. I have been reviewing a lot of tablets recently but this is the on...

Abstract: On an 8.9-inch screen that's perfectly decent but nothing stellar, Lollipop looks stylish and slick, with improved notifications and redesigned Gmail and calendar apps.Camera and speakers, too, are perfectly adequate, but the Nexus 9 is primarily a tem...
Abstract: Google and HTC's new Nexus 9 tablet is most notable for being the first device to ship with Android 5.0 "Lollipop," making it attractive to Android fans. But it also delivers a bright hi-res screen and impressive performance that could win more than a fe...

Everything, especially tablets, should have front-facing speakers. At first the Nexus 9's speakers seemed dangerously close to the edge, but my palms actually didn't block them they way they block the bottom-mounted stereo speakers on an iPad Air. They ar
Nexus devices are supposed to show off the perfect mesh of stock Android and thoughtfully designed hardware, but the Nexus 9 puts Android's big-screen shortcomings front and center. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate having to really deliberately stretch my t
Probably not. The more expensive iPad Air 2 blows it away from a performance standpoint, and the original iPad Air is now priced identically to the Nexus 9. Even though it's a year older it will probably serve you better as an all-around tablet, due to so...
