Nextbook NEXT 8.4 Android Tablet Review

Nextbook NEXT3 is a large 8.4Android tablet which can serves as a eBook reader, video player, music player, photo viewer and web browser. The color display offers 800 X 600 pixels resolution. Running on Android OS 2.1, Nextbook NEXT3 8.4″ is powerd by ARM926 EJ dual-core 600Mhz processor, coupled with 2 x 128MB DDR2 RAM along with 2GB Flash memory (system Memory 1.1GB) . There’s SD Card slot to increase storage capacity.

I realize that this is a trend several hardware manufacturers are going toward, and I’d like to take this moment to ask them to stop. Having physical buttons may offend some aesthetically, but they’re very useful. Especially in instances where an app stops working or the display stops responding to taps. As happened several times when using the Next3. Of course, there is always the chance that the entire system is frozen and it needs a hard reset. However, the Back or Home button would have sufficed for most of the problems I encountered.
As an eBook reader, Nextbook NEXT3 comes with a free, preloaded 25 books. Partnered with Borders.com, you can easily access to Border online bookstore and download eBooks directly with the built-in Borders apps. You can also browse the web from any hotspot via the integrated Wi-Fi. When fully charged, you can read up to 5 hours.
