After four months of using Google's pathbreaking Nexus 7 tablet, I'm compelled to admit: Pure Android, as only the Nexus line of devices can offer you, is way, way, way better than the blotched and bloated UIs of various device manufacturers. Moreover, the Nexus devices assure you that you will always use the latest (and greatest) software. When it comes o software, nothing can beat the Nexus lineup.
What then makes these devices a little unpopular?
After speaking to so many of my friends, peers, colleagues, relatives and all those random wen forum members, I have found out the most probable answer to this question: Lack of the expandable storage. Somehow, for most people, expandable storage; by means of a memory card is an essential feature. Even if half of their memory card is free. And that's why people prefer other devices over nexus, even at the cost of shoddy software.
And that brings me to the broader perspective: Why doesn't Google add this one small feature to its already mightier than other Nexus devices? The answer lies with the Google ecosystem. In my opinion, Google wants the users to move to the cloud storage. Use your device for streaming; no storing. This seems to be the message. And this is in sync with its Chromebook devices, too.
From my personal experience, I'd prefer storing all my data on the cloud; for it gives me the assurance that it's safe, secure and accessible from anywhere. And on any device.
Over to you, guys!
