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
Android 5.0 Lollipop is fast and efficient in performance, The new Material design provides a refreshed and updated look to the interface, Powerful processing performance, Relatively decent battery life, Sturdy aluminum frame and overall construction
Slower boot time, Lack of a microSD card slot, Lack of innovation in design and aesthetics, Priced higher than previously expected
The Google HTC Nexus 9 provides great performance with an exterior design that is just okay. The fact that it runs on the new Android 5.0 operating system is a definite plus and will appeal to most Android fans. The screen and speakers are about average b...
One of the best displays on the market, Fast, responsive system with insane power and potential, Android 5.0 Lollipop's new interface and features, Sound quality, loud Boomsound speakers
Subpar battery life, The odd hiccup while navigating, Video game graphics need some serious optimisation, Finish on the back shell, Mediocre rear camera
The Nexus 9 has an absolutely gorgeous display and a mountain of processing power. Unfortunately, it's also lacking the depth of software found in Sony, Samsung and even Apple's high-end tablets. By aiming for the top of the pile, Google has inadvertently...

Every bit as iconic as the Nexus 7 It's no secret that critical reception of the new Nexus 9 has been inconsistent at best. Some people love the Nexus 9, but others have found their review units to be less than stellar. For our part, the Nexus 9 is si...
The Nexus 9 costs £319 in 16GB Wi-Fi form. The iPad Air 2 starts at £399. Aside from some nicer aluminium and a better rear facing camera, there is very little in it.Android L is also hugely exciting, because it shows the logical and slick direction the o...

Good screen, powerful processor, Android 5.0 Lollipop
Casework not as classy as some, no expandable memory, no IR blaster
We're not angry, just a little disappointed that the Google Nexus 9 is no more than a decent mid-range tablet, rather than a standout bargain like the Nexus 7. It has premium styling, the full HD screen looks lovely, the dual-core processor performs rea...
