Good javascript, bad white brightness,
average contrast
Not long after being presented, we have a
lot of comparison reviews about hardware, performance, design, etc. between
Nexus produced by Asus with other competitors in the market. There is a
benchmark grade as well. According to the detailed test of Anand Tech, although
using Tegra 3 chip (1.2 GHz, and 1.3 GHz when only one core is used) and
graphic clocking (GPU) just reaches 416Mhz but the JavaScript benchmark score
is quite impressive with the first position. SunSpider JavaScript benchmark
software reveals the responsive speed of Nexus 7 is 1,665.9 milliseconds while
iPad 2012 just takes the second place with 1,795 milliseconds.

JavaScript benchmark score is quite impressive
In another benchmark on web-browsing speed
(BrowserMark), Google Nexus takes the second place just behind ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity
with 128,474 (to 129,777). Meanwhile, GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt shows that Nexus 7
reaches 63.2 fps (lower than other 4 tablets) and iPad leads this test with 140
fps. A disappointed point on Nexus7 is the screen brightness when displaying
white color. Anand ranks this tablet at the bottom of the ranking list with
312-nit brightness while ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity was ranked first with
964 nits. To compensate, the black color is doing good with the second place.
In the contrast screen test, Nexus 7 is not really good when ranked in the
middle. Nexus 7 has panel IPS with 400-nit brightness, 1,280x800 resolution and
size of 7 inches.
Google
Nexus takes the second place
Google announced that Nexus 7 would be
released with 2 versions: 8GB and 16GB with the price from $199. It is known
that the usable capacity of the 8GB version is 5.92 GB only, which means 2 GB
is for OS and other apps. There is no memory slot while the usable capacity is
just 6GB so it might be difficult to save data in Nexus 7. And the computing
cloud is not available all the time.
