Ten years ago today, Google released the 2nd-generation Nexus 7, just days after a surprise announcement. Back then, Android tablets still felt fresh and exciting. It seemed like anything was possible, and things could only improve from there. Well, we know what happened next. But the depressing state of the tablet market to come was in no way the fault of the Nexus 7. In fact, this is still one of the best Android tablets ever made, and it's worth looking back and showing it the honor and respect it deserves.

The Lenovo M8 4th Gen is slower than the 3rd Gen. We're going backwards.

The Nokia T10 is only decent one. The Samsung A7 Lite has bad performance and traditionally poor Samsung OS. Amazon Fire is another option, but I won't do FireOS.

I had the T10 and it was horrible. The display was poor and pixelated and it took the entire first day to update software, which was required on first login.

I seriously thought to return it, the update was taking so long. Eventually it let me log in.

But then it lasted six months before the screen glitched out and stopped working.

Ok, that makes it even more sad what they're doing. Feature wise it was already worse in my experience, but actually worse for performance? Geez

Guess I'll just have to keep my Tab4 8 alive even longer

Hi friend. Just wanted to alert you the Lenovo Legion Y700 2023 version checks all my boxes, assuming there's a Global/US version launching...

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I keep checking their stuff but haven't seen anything. I'll take a look
