Merry Christmas and thanks for doing this! I am going to see if the AARP has made one for us folks over 50! (Well, WAY over 50!) I've been in the south long enough I guess that my hearing has tuned back to where I can't keep up with the dialogue (or monologue in this case) AND in spite of recent refraction corrections to my eyes, there is so much hand movement by the right hand there, that I can't tell which motions actually have functions, and are significant. I am only 9 minutes in to it (for the third time though) so maybe I'll appreciate it after a while. But, like I said, I appreciate the time and effort that went in to doing it!
Does the screen pinning implement security settings? That said, if I try and exit it and the device has a pin or pattern enabled, do you have to enter that to exit the pinned screen?
Great review, considering buying the Nexus 9. Don't get me wrong but Apple iPad is just a name, but no changes in hardware specs. I like how the new android lollipop 5.0 work in performance.
Great video thanks for the upload. its the first review of the nexus 9 I've seen. However noticed dust on your desk which made the video look less clean than normal and also I'm not a fan of seeing your reflection and the camera on the nexus screen.
I had to ramp up the exposure and lighting for the black material, which also attracts dust because it's grippy. I always have this issue, even though I'm incredibly fastidious.
The BEST reviews on the internet hands down!!! I actually look forward to your videos like I do do my fav. tv shows :D Please review the Droid Turbo next :)
Hello Mike, Thank you for the video. 1. Can you slow down a bit in your delivery of information for the product. Along with the quick edits it can be hard to follow along with the nomenclature or feature you are explaining. Also if you are not familiar with the Android operating system, moving through features can appear confusing. I refer a lot of new Android users to your extensive videos. Especially on the Samsung devices. 2. From what I can tell from this video, the Asus built Nexus 7 appears to be superior in fit, finish, and overall design than this HTC version. The Asus product was a "budget-minded" tablet at under $300. The tech in the device, including the screen was impressive. The pop-off pack panel was not, but the device still felt sturdy enough for everyday use, even compared to last year's Samsung devices. Once again, thank you for the video, and your time. Matt
Nice review of Android 5.0 lollipop, interesting that they have incorporated some stuff that has been present on Samsung devices for awhile now... But what about the overall performance of the Nexus 9 itself? Seems like it should be priced more in the $250-299 range, esp. With 4:3 aspect ratio. I'm coming from a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 . I was considering Nexus 9 mainly due to lollipop, but now may wait for the Galaxy Note 10.1 2015 edition which should be announced by Dec. or Jan. Do you think its wise for me to wait?
Mike do you recommend replacing the N7 2013 for this one? I am looking for an all in one tablet since I use it for everything: reading, homework, gaming, browsing. My N7 still rocks but I was wondering if a bigger one would be a nice upgrade.
The Nexus 5 also had light bleed issues, but it should be a manufacturing issue solved with hardware revisions, because mine doesn't have it. I know, different company, different device, but I think it's the same story.
the best review so far! I'm planning to buy a new tablet, I'm between the iPad Air 2 and the nexus 9 which but I'm inclined to the iPad, what do you guys think?
You just did the right job Almost two reviews in one the device and the software since it's the first device to have lollipop taste And still waiting for the apple in a year video Keep up
As a stock Android Nexus fan honestly the more I see the Nexus 9 the more I'm unimpressed by it. The starting $399 price tag in my opinion is absurd. To me besides the boom sound the tablet is meh. I'm more impressed with the Nvidia Shield tablet especially with it being updated to Android L and the extra gaming features that's implemented with stock Android. It's not the most handsome tablet and is a bit on the thick side, but for $299 I think it's the best bang for buck as far as a tablet this year. Edit: Also I want to add that the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is in my opinion hands down the best tablet to this day.
***** I realize that, it's just that your arguments against the Shield is about its biggest strength rather than its weaknesses. Which I already covered.
Watching this on my Nexus 9! This thing is built like a tank, when other tablet manufacturers are going thin Google stayed fat! Next time add an SD expansion port. Great review Mike!
***** Nice detailed review. I felt that google should have stayed with making 7 inch tablets. Google (Asus) was basically the first company to make these type of tablets and now I'm a bit disappointed they stopped making them. Anyway, thanks for this awesome review!
I was really looking forward to this tablet but all in all I'm not sure it's really worth it. Being 4:3 without an SD card pretty much makes it the equivalent of an iPad running Android that can't perform as well as an iPad. Especially with that screen back light bleeding though and how flexible it is. It would be a great tablet if it was priced between $250-$300 but for $400 and already having a Nexus 7 2013 I think I'd rather get the iPad Air 1/2.
AWESOME VIDEO MIKE LOL AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR THIS AND I REALLY LIKE THE IPAD BETTER I HEAR THEIR GOING TO HAVE A TV DISPLAY!!..BUT GREAT REVIEW MIKE!!!
I honestly wish they did an updated version for the Nexus 7, I love my 2013 edition, but would be nice with one that had front facing speakers and smaller bezels.
I still own a Nexus 10 which was a fantastic Tablet but is getting a bit long in the tooth and starting to act up. Should I look at the 9 or keep the 10 till next years reboot. (in the event it dies or something like that I would pick this up as I love native android.
i will say this all the time. This guy knows how to review tech. Not rushed, not biased, not boring.
Thank you very much!
This is the most accurate statement about him ever. 👌
Totally agree with you Joaquim,Mike is a true professional.
I agree!!
*#Google** **#Nexus** #9 **#Tablet** (8.9-Inch, 16 GB, Black)* with the best price on amzn.to/11w8inX. Don't miss this good opportunity! Nice day!
Mike is the best tech reviewer on RUclips. No contest.
I am very sick of "first impression" videos other tech reviewers do.
As a long-time iPad user, this is the first Nexus tablet that tempts me.
Hey man you should work for the verge. You are much much better reviewer than any of their employees! Lol. Nice review like always
all other interfaces are going into hell now stocked Nexus or other device, Nice review. Eagerly waiting for your Nexus 6 review
So fluid. Absolutely no lag. My iPad Air feels laggy after watching this vid.
My lovely tablet and very nice minimalist design and your videos are enjoyable to watch
Best nexus9 review so far
how can anyone dislike this video... it's by far the best tech review on youtube!! love your videos man...
he is the best one who can do good reviews ......
i love howhe goes through every possible detail in his reviews unlike some people who just review what they were expecting
FINALLY!! A VIDEO ON THE NEXUS! :)
Lollipop looks really, really nice.
Mike you have Modern Combat 5 installed on the Nexus 9. I love that game.
Merry Christmas and thanks for doing this! I am going to see if the AARP has made one for us folks over 50! (Well, WAY over 50!)

Please do the unboxing and review of the Nexus 6. 😃
Great Unboxing as usual...!
Excellent job, man! Keep it up 👆
My phone literally opened Google now when you said Okay Google.
The best Nexus 9 review on RUclips so far! Thank you DetroitBORG! :)
I like how when the instagram post "I love my whore family" showed up, he played it off. Thats real dedication right there
Great video as always

Best Nexus 9 Review Definitely, Saw Everything I Wanted To See! Good Job Mike.
My Nexus 9 doesn't seem to have the flex/back light bleed people have been complaining about. That's unfortunate yours did.
WHEN WILL THE NEXUS 6 BE RELEASED?
Worth subscribing
I love DetroitBorg. He is the #1 in tech reviews. I am thinking of getting this tablet.
Plz.. Unbox nexus 6... As soon as possible... You are great unboxer...
Still waiting to receive mine, I'm very excited for that one.
Spotted droid turbo ! Little sneak peak?! lol
Very clean unboxing.
You've done a very good job *****

Unless you're mostly watching videos, 4:3 is a much better screen ratio for a tablet
Galaxy
Are the speakers alone the reason why the HTC logo is on the back.
Mike do you recommend replacing the N7 2013 for this one? I am looking for an all in one tablet since I use it for everything: reading, homework, gaming, browsing. My N7 still rocks but I was wondering if a bigger one would be a nice upgrade.
The Nexus 5 also had light bleed issues, but it should be a manufacturing issue solved with hardware revisions, because mine doesn't have it. I know, different company, different device, but I think it's the same story.
Can you do a Nvidia Shield tablet review? Or maybe a comparison to shield vs nexus 9?
so far one of the best tablet available out there
are you going to review NOKIA N1 tablet unboxing and review , I am pretty excited about it
the best review so far! I'm planning to buy a new tablet, I'm between the iPad Air 2 and the nexus 9 which but I'm inclined to the iPad, what do you guys think?
Is there any option to change the theme color to black? Because white color will eat more battery!
I have light bleeding on my nexus 5 as well, and I dropped it once and it got worse in one corner
That flip though..
You just did the right job
Almost two reviews in one
the device and the software
since it's the first device to have lollipop taste
And still waiting for the apple in a year video
Keep up
I have been searching for a good comprehensive review of the Nexus 9. Thank you so much! outstanding review
Can you do a tablet comparison and conclusion for school students
As a stock Android Nexus fan honestly the more I see the Nexus 9 the more I'm unimpressed by it. The starting $399 price tag in my opinion is absurd. To me besides the boom sound the tablet is meh.

Edit: Also I want to add that the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is in my opinion hands down the best tablet to this day.
***** um I'm quite sure you can play the games from the Play Store on the Shield. It's a fully functioning tablet optimized for gaming.
***** I think it would best serve you to just say you prefer the Nexus 9.
***** I realize that, it's just that your arguments against the Shield is about its biggest strength rather than its weaknesses. Which I already covered.
I Finn I think you should buy and try it than return it if it isn't worth it to you
***** all due respect you're just not making much sense.
Watching this on my Nexus 9! This thing is built like a tank, when other tablet manufacturers are going thin Google stayed fat! Next time add an SD expansion port. Great review Mike!
this guy is a beast reviewer. much love, keep up the good work :)
How much available storage do you get with the 16GB model? *****
***** Nice detailed review. I felt that google should have stayed with making 7 inch tablets. Google (Asus) was basically the first company to make these type of tablets and now I'm a bit disappointed they stopped making them. Anyway, thanks for this awesome review!
What does he say exactly "whats's up guys Mike here (we or the ) DetroitBorg?
Will you make a review on nexus 6 ? When ?
My favorite reviewer, As always, right on point!
What do you think is better, iPad Air 2 or Nexus 9?
nice unboxing
I was really looking forward to this tablet but all in all I'm not sure it's really worth it. Being 4:3 without an SD card pretty much makes it the equivalent of an iPad running Android that can't perform as well as an iPad.

Can't wait for the nexus 6 review... 😁
best reviewer out there great job!
What an excellent review. It covers all the points perfectly.
I take it you have a DROID Turbo review on the way?
Alexander Missert Yes :)
When will u unbox the google nexus 6??
another solid review! Excellent tablet can't wait to get my hands on one
Amazing review as always!
What about the nvidia shield tablet I'd like to see that and a comparison of this device as well
Looks like best tablet so far but really missing sd card extension. 16/32GB will hardly be enough.
I love how professional you're :)
This is the best review I could've ever asked for. Nice! Google destroys the iPad with this sucker.
AWESOME VIDEO MIKE LOL AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR THIS AND I REALLY LIKE THE IPAD BETTER I HEAR THEIR GOING TO HAVE A TV DISPLAY!!..BUT GREAT REVIEW MIKE!!!

Mike! Awesome review, loved it :)
how is the case for the nexus 9? early impressions reviews were not very positive
I honestly wish they did an updated version for the Nexus 7, I love my 2013 edition, but would be nice with one that had front facing speakers and smaller bezels.
Sighs Nvidia Shield Tablet Sighs
Hey Mike! Thanks for the review. Wonder why they havent fixed that light bleed issue. Been hearing that since the first gen nexus 7. Great review!
Excuse me Mr.Detroid but will you be doing a video on The nexus 6 and if you have done so already I apologize hahah

Again, awesome review ***** ! very unbiased and precise as compared to other reviewers such as..... you know who they are :)
I still own a Nexus 10 which was a fantastic Tablet but is getting a bit long in the tooth and starting to act up. Should I look at the 9 or keep the 10 till next years reboot. (in the event it dies or something like that I would pick this up as I love native android.
Should I get the white one or the black one?
Is there any os update from kikat to lolipop?
