Nexus 9 Specs

[salmanahmad]

I prefer android over IOS but we all know that you don't buy an IOS device for the specs. You buy for the ecosystem and a more streamlined OS. I will say this. There are a lot more apps optimized for IPads than there are for android tablets..

Why don't people buy an iOS device for the specifications? iPhones may not exactly beat Snapdragon and Nvidia processors in specifications, but they are neck in neck in benchmarks and real time performance.

Nexus 9 however is an exception, I'm sure it'll straight out beat any iOS tablet out there in general fluidity and graphics in heavy duty games.

I'm not saying there aren't some people who buy IOS for specs but it isn't the main reason to buy IOS. You realize the IPhone 6 and 6+ both still have only 1 GB ram. Most people don't buy IOS for specs..

OK, 64 bit chip, OS, core apps, release apps, faster memory management, amazingly no one seems to have said, WOW 192 Nvidia GPUs. Apple didn't go 64 bit, for no reason, one of their devices even has 2 GB of RAM, so they can exploit some of that power. The many failings of 64 bit on the desktop, are due to bloatarama sloppy code, not because 64 bit, is even slightly a bad idea.

I'm hoping that many of the recent failures in FHD/QHD, video, audio, Bluetooth, will be fixed in Android 5 Lollipop. That ART, 64 bit, native encoding, will fix things with a ground up approach, like the wonders of Jelly Bean 1and 2. Project Butter's focus on reliability and speed, is such a contrast with the current approach, by all major software companies. That it brought gigantic unit sales to Android, yes Svelte and Volta make sense, but reliability and speed, is all the buyers, give a hoot about.

That's why they, me included, frequently abandoned, the desktop for mobile devices. When I retired, from network administration, I was so stress relieved, at not having to work for the PC. Instead of it working for me, I gave up cigarettes after 9 years of heavy addiction. I want to see the hardware fly and the software, not grind it to a halt.

Apple has been on 64-bit since last year though. And the 2GB of RAM was for good reason.

Does the Wi-Fi only version have GPS?

Does the Wi-Fi only version have GPS?

I believe so. Just like the N7 (2013), it will have GPS over Wi-Fi or you can use maps offline.

The GPS on my N7 has never worked well.

I know... I had that same issue. Hopefully this one will be much better.

Yes. If you go into the settings for location you can set it to use GPS only or a combination of WiFi and GPS. I haven't used the GPS much but will download an area of the map and try the navigation.

Took the N9 for a "test drive" at lunch. Navigation worked just fine with the offline portion of the map I saved. The GPS Test app also showed that it quickly acquired plenty of satellites.

I'm going to have to look at the GPS on mine again, I tried it the other night with the GPS Test app, it acquired satellites quickly but was rather slow to get a lock on my location and I was at home, not driving. Good to hear that offline navigation is working! I do sometimes use that!

Changes I would make to the Nexus 9:

• Processor: Snapdragon 805
• RAM: 3GB
• Storage: 32GB, 64GB
• Prices: $399 (32GB Wi-Fi), $479 (64GB Wi-Fi), $599 (64 GB LTE)

Why a SD805? That's a downgrade

Looks great. Lol

"with aptX".
Where have you found these specifications? Are they official or 3rd party?
I am have a theory that the tablet does NOT support APTX - or at least it is disabled for some reason.I have a BT-receiver that supports APTX. When I use it with my nexus 9, the sound quality will have issues, while it Works just perfectly with my pc, which I know support APTX.
Have anyone else experienced problems with aptx use and the tablet, and perhaps found a work-around?

Hi, I have some silly questions, but the info isn't on the google website or amazon, or anywhere I've looked.
LTE version also has wifi, I presume?
Is the charger standard like a mini or micro USB, or is it proprietary?
Does the GPS use only the US satellites, or also GLONASS?

Thanks so much. I appreciate that you share this information.

Its really looking Great.

I know this is a few months old, but I see that there hasn't been a response to your questions. Hopefully you've already gotten the answers you were looking for but if you didn't I can help out a little...

Yes the LTE version does have WiFi just like any smartphone does. As for the charger, uses it's a standard microUSB cable, but I would recommend using the supplied AC adapter to charge the device. As for your question about the GPS, unfortunately that I don't know so I can't answer you question about that.
