Verdict

The Nextbook Next2 is a budget-friendly 7-inch tablet and e-reader featuring a 600MHz ARM9 processor, 128MB of RAM, and 2GB of internal flash storage. Its 800x480 resolution resistive touchscreen is designed primarily for media consumption, including preloaded e-books and support for various video formats like MPEG4 and FLV. Connectivity is limited to Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, and the device includes a microSD slot for storage expansion alongside physical page-turn buttons. Main pros include its lightweight, portable design and the inclusion of a protective carrying case and stylus. However, significant cons include the lack of a built-in camera, the use of the outdated Android 1.5 operating system without full access to the modern app store, and an unresponsive resistive screen that does not support multi-touch.
