That would mean a less than 1 MP photo looks the same as a 2MP photo. And a map showing 12cm by 8cm of detail looks the same as one showing 19cm by 12 cm of detail.
That sounds barely feasible. Problem with the maps is that showing 19x12cm of detail is great, but some of that text is going to be seriously small. Magnifying glass time. I don't doubt that regularly sized text will look smoother and on occasion I would appreciate a little more resolution when reading comics on the N7, but I get a feeling that the Tegra4 based devices with 1280x800 will run most games considerably better than the 2013 N7. |

And it seems simple common sense to want improved clarity of photos, viewed like they mainly are, that being on a screen. |

And I'm still trying to figure out why everyone seems to be wanting the same resolution screen on their phone/tablet as they do on their TV at home.

I think its unfair to criticise the resolution of the tablet, people try and say no, its a rubbish tablet because at the same time they compare it to latest Ipad retina dispaly. Value for money is important

I've found that on phones and tablets, higher resolution doesn't automatically mean more screen real estate. It seems to adjust the size of things to cope with the higher resolution. So text maybe sharper, but there isn't more room on screen for displaying web pages.

Sharper text when using the net, more web page viewed at one time.
A website that looks good on my 24" screen at work will render exactly the same on a 7" tablet screen. With all that unbelievably small writing. Aye, really, really useful. And yes, my eyesight is pretty good. Voynich seems to understand this, others ... do not and just get driven by specs, nothing but specs. |

I don't think anyone has said that it's a rubbish tablet - I just said that the resolution is poor for the money. Value for money is important but I want a higher resolution screen for that money - that's just my point of view. |

you can't get a really high resolution for £150. The new Nexus has a sharp display but is a slow device compared to other, don't know why Google didn't go for Snapdragon 800 or T4

You know why you have no problems reading it? The higher the resolution the bigger android usually makes text and pictures to compensate. Tablets and phones do this scaling so you don't need a magnifying glass to see stuff at high resolutions. So a web page will generally look the same on a 720p as 1080p, apart from the crisper text and clearer pictures of course.

Got it this morning, I am very impressed with it.
It is very similar to Nexus 2012 in build and screen. The screen sharpness, colours and responsiveness seem to be exactly the same. But its much nippier, and it has front spacing speakers which are awesome. The quality of it is better than I was expecting and would definitely recommend it over any other 7 inch tablet |

Try out GT Racing 2. That should be a good test of the graphics chip!

I know that my 2012 Nexus 7 can only handle the game on defaults. |

The graphics power is the best in any tablet so it handles these fine.
Honestly I really recommend the tablet |

And thinking about it, the CPUs are the faster Coretex A15.
For the N7, Qualcomm in essence still use a halfway house CPU, running somewhere between the speed of an A9 and an A15. |

Honestly I really recommend the tablet My youngest will be fine with the Hudl and the big orange rubbery case. My oldest is more into gaming and would definitely appreciate the performance of the Tegra 4 over anything else out there. Its the most "future proof" of any of the current Android tablets as far as hardware spec is concerned. Benchmarks absolutely wipe the floor with the 2013 N7. Its decided, Tegra 4 tab for my lad. My original N7 really is starting to feel very, very old

So is it only 1gb of RAM? Seems a bit paltry. Also, having power of Tegra 4 with that yesteryear screen seems kind of pointless.

Its a cheaper device. Stick a higher definition screen on there (which has little real world benefit) and it would both cost more and - importantly - be a little slower. This device, as a result of the Tegra 4 and the "yesteryear" screen is massively faster than devices like the new Nexus 7. |

Lovely wording (yesteryear??) and again someone who truly doesn't get it.

This device, as a result of the Tegra 4 and the "yesteryear" screen is massively faster than devices like the new Nexus 7. For me I would still rather have a slower processor and a higher res screen like the Nexus 7. I get plenty of real world benefit from a higher res screen. |

It's a bit like putting a sportscar engine in a family hatchback. Fast but not as good as it could be.

For me I've not had any problems with reading website text on a full HD 7" screen.
