An 8GB Nexus 7 cost just £159 while the 16GB model cost £199. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean provided a great user experience and the device itself packed a quality screen with good build quality at an astonishing price. The Nexus 7 changed the tablet landscape entirely. Dominated by 10-inch tablets, and specifically Apple’s iPad, the tablet market was littered with poor quality Android tablets made by companies you’ve never heard of, or some rather expensive offerings from some you had. It revolutionised the way people thought about tablets and the size they should be. The Google Nexus 7 has been around for a year now.
