EVGA Tegra Note 7 Review, Specs: 7-Inch Gaming Tablet Just OK For 16GB Storage, 5MP Camera & 1GB RAM With Android 4.2.2

EVGA Tegra Note 7 review, specs: The 7-inch gaming device is decent for its price and the specs are good enough for the $200 price tag, which makes it one of the most affordable tablets around. The new device by the makers of the NVIDIA Tegra processors began shipping the gadget November 19.

Specs for the EVGA Tegra Note 7 include a 5MP rear camera, 0.3MP front-facing camera and video recording at 1080p. It starts at 16GB storage but with the microSD, it can have up to 64GB storage capacity. The device will have a 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor and a Wi-Fi compatibility at dual-band 802.11 b/g/n.

It’ll have Android 4.2.2 out of the box, but there’s always a possibility that with a new device like this, either the Android 4.4 KitKat or Android 4.3 Jelly Bean could be available.

Despite the price though, reviews on the device have described the new gadget as just OK, noting that in a market with a sea of tablets available, the $200 device is easily overshadowed by the slightly more expensive $230 Nexus 7.

Engadget also notes the despite the EVGA Tegra Note 7 having powerful Tegra 4 chip, the compromises are obvious. The 7-inch tablet’s 11.29 ounce weight is massive compared to its counterparts. It’s also 5mm wider than the the Nexus 7 and 0.9mm thicker. Holding the device will make you realize the difference.

The design of the EVGA Tegra Note 7 also fail to impress in some ways. Engadget notes that the three segmented plastic back is a little too busy and the other two sections are are smooth, glossy and scratch-prone. In terms of wear and tear, the tablet has very poor endurance and holding it doesn’t make you feel like it’s a solid gadget, Engadget noted.
