criticism

The CIO of the repair specialist iFixit , Miroslav Djuric, commented on the Nexus 9 as follows:

“It's like HTC put the wonderful CPU and display in a sack with other components, and what happened to get stuck on it ended up in the Nexus 9. […] Yes, it has a cool display and a solid processor, but we do are experts in hardware and repairability - we want the other parts to be just as great as the main components. But this tablet looks like a prime example of austerity measures, even though HTC and Google still want $ 400 for this little friend. "

- Miroslav Djuric

Many users and specialist magazines complain about the halos on the edges of the screen called "clouding".
