What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it

  • Includes a mini-HDMI port for 1080p video output to TVs
  • Expandable storage via a microSD card slot

What customers don't like about Nextbook Next Premium7s (512MB + 4GB)

  • Lacks access to the official Google Play Store; uses third-party stores like GetJar instead
  • Poor battery life, typically averaging 3–5 hours depending on usage
  • Limited viewing angles on the 7-inch display (becomes unreadable past 45 degrees)
  • Weak and tinny audio quality from a poorly placed single speaker
  • Slow performance and lag due to a 1GHz processor and only 512MB of RAM
  • Low-resolution screen (800x480) makes small text difficult to read

Verdict

The Nextbook Next Premium7s is a compact 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024x600 capacitive touchscreen, powered by a 1GHz Cortex-A9 processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. Running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, its main strengths include a lightweight design, Mini-HDMI output for TV connectivity, and microSD expansion up to 32GB. However, it is hindered by its very limited memory, lack of Bluetooth, and a front-facing camera only, making it suitable only for basic reading and light browsing.
