Oh boy.

Its been 10 years since the Nexus 7 was released[0], a barely functional device that Google made unuseable when they released an update that made it painfully slow.

Once bitten, twice shy. Their future might be android tablet based, mine is more likely to be an environment that isnt completely littered with abandoned devices you have no hope of getting support for.

Nexus 7 was a $200 bargain bin tablet mfg by ASUS with cheap eMMC storage that developed numerous problems over time.

You may be twice shy but even a Samsung S3 tab from 2016 would be leaps and bounds ahead of an awfully designed ultracheap product.

But it was pretty sweet the first year of use. Perfect size, great screen for the time, light, nice texture.

I ran into this same issue back in the day. Mine ran OK on KitKat but Lollipop made it pretty much unusable. I opted for a stripped down CyanogenMod Lollipop and that restored much of the performance.
