5 Best Tablets [August, 2014]

Nexus 7

Google's Nexus 7 is getting older and there are rumors that suggest that it will be replaced this year by a brand new high-end Nexus 8. Nexus 8 rumors put the device in Q4 so the Nexus 7 still has some life left ahead of it, even if it has vanished from the Google Play Store.

Google's tablet comes with a sleek black matte design that is much improved over the original Nexus 7's form factor. It also comes with a speedy quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a rear camera, and Android 4.4 KitKat, Google's latest version of Android. It also sports 4G LTE data for AT&T, T-Mobile and also Verizon Wireless, the nation's largest 4G LTE service provider.

The Nexus 7 is cheaper than Apple's mini with Retina Display which means that it's worth a look from those that aren't in love with iOS and don't want to shell out tons of cash this month.
