Indeed, in the brief time that tablets have existed, I think it is the best small Android tablet ever created, and its usability and specs still surpass nearly all Android tablets being made today under 8", with only a couple of exceptions. Considering I got my 2013 Wifi version for $269, and it had the high res screen and 32GB storage, a pretty amazing deal at the time. I totally wish Google would update this device and make one with a faster CPU, 4GB RAM, an SD card, and Android 9. If they made this in 7 or 8" size, I would buy this immediately and ahead of the Ipad Mini so I could stay on Android. The Mini is a great piece of hardware, looking forward to it as my first iThingy, but truth be told, I'd stay on Android if there was a tablet I actually liked in this same form factor.

You might be interested in my thread how I updated the Nexus 7 to Android 8.1. If you still use yours, this might help you get a little new life out of it:
