IT is an amazing device and actually completes the Nexus 6P

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2016

Not even remotely close to what I expected. I thought since I have Nexus 6P that I will never look at a tablet. When I saw this offer for the Nexus 9.
I took the risk and decided to buy one. Not sure what to say, friends... IT is an amazing device and actually completes the Nexus 6P. I am now considering buying a second one. One some practical issues:
In case you are interested in this:
It arrived ahead of time - Thx!
The update is from Google. Please be patient. There are many updates to the OS which you need to install. If you don't have the patience to go through this, or "jump into conclusions" just b/c it takes the time to go through all these updates. Sorry - mate. Give the device & yourself all the time (a couple of days) to do what it needs to do from 2014 till mid-2016.
IT IS WORTH IT BIG TIME (!!!)
Enjoy one of the best Disruptive & Innovative Devices Out there.

Needs more RAM and longer battery life

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016

The Nexus 9 only has 2 GB RAM, which hinders its ability to play games and multitask. I have stripped it pretty bare (including disabling several stock apps) and some games still crash frequently. The battery life is less than expected--maybe a few hours with moderate use. The area around the camera gets very hot during heavy usage, and crashes usually happen soon after. A Project Fi data only SIM works nicely in it, which is why I purchased this model, but Project Fi SIMs work in other LTE-enabled tablets, so there may be a better choice out there.

I would prefer more flash (say 64 GB) and a MicroSD slot.

The description title is "HTC Google Nexus 9 32GB Unlocked GSM 4G LTE Android 5.0 (Lollipop) Phone / Tablet PC - Indigo Black" but I still can't see how I can make phone calls. (via cellular network, not VoIP).
If anyone knows how to do it, please let me know. Thanks!

Great for everything except typing

This is a great device for reading, keeping up with the news, dealing with email, and everything else that does not involve a lot of typing. I use this pad about five minutes for every minute I use my laptop, but I'm typing this review on my laptop because it has a keyboard! Be sure to work out a deal with your cell phone provider to bundle the data instead of paying full price for both units.

Great For In-Car Entertainment

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016

I mounted one of these in my car to hold me over until my Tesla arrives. It's great for GPS, music, calls (hangouts/facebook messenger), and even Netflix or Plex for your passenger. The Marshmallow (6.0) upgrade was welcome. Only 4 stars because the tablet is more sluggish than it should be.

Great size, software lacking.

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2015

Finally a decent size tablet. Not as small as the 7 inchers and not as big as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.

Still not as light as an iPad Air (I miss my air).

Gave away my iPad since I like Android better in theory. The 'share' functionality is way more polished, I can share a photo to all the different social networks you are on.

Still Lollipop kinda sucks. Freezes at times, slow in general. Much slower than iOS with iPad Air.

Google get the head out of your ass and address the performance concerns of Android.

This tablet is supposed to have a super fast 64 bit chip, but so far it just overheats.
