So when the first nexus 7 came out it was a pretty big deal. It was affordable with decent specs. It had a few drawbacks though that didn't allow it to dominate the market. It didn't have a rear camera, and the speakers and screen were only ok.
When the second one hit the shelves it changed the way we though about tablets. It had bleeding edge specs for the time at an unbeatable price. The only way Google was able to offer the super low prices was that they subsidized it through the gains of having more users in their ecosystem.
This made it so that the other manufacturers couldn't compete. Now all of your tablet manufacturers are trying to build tablets in the same budget as the Nexus 7. The only problem is that the specs are hardly an upgrade from the 2013 Nexus 7.
This year we haven't seen an viable replacements for the Nexus 7 or really any tablets better than the Nexus 7. Did Google kill off the tablet industry? Did they set it back 3 years?
