Third-party reviews

What we like about Nextbook Next3 (256MB + 2GB)

  • Attractive 8.4-inch screen size with a 4:3 aspect ratio, ideal for e-reading
  • Slim, lightweight design (approx. 1.1 lbs) that is easy to carry for travel
  • Includes a protective padded vinyl cover and a stylus
  • SD card slot allows for easy memory expansion up to 8GB
  • Smooth playback for standard-definition videos and support for multiple media formats
  • Affordable entry-level price point (originally around $199)

What we don't like about Nextbook Next3 (256MB + 2GB)

  • Temperamental resistive touchscreen requires pressure and lacks multi-touch support
  • Lacks access to the official Google Play/Android Market, using a limited third-party app store instead
  • Poor battery life, with significant drain during standby and inaccurate charge indicators
  • No physical volume buttons; adjustments must often be made through deep system settings
  • Underpowered 600MHz processor leads to lag and inability to run many 3D or complex games
  • Outdated Android 2.1 OS that cannot be officially updated

Verdict

The Nextbook Next3 is a budget-friendly 8.4-inch Android 2.1 tablet primarily designed as a versatile e-reader. It features an 800 x 600 resolution TFT LCD screen, an ARM926EJ dual-core processor clocked at 600MHz, 256MB of DDR2 RAM, and 2GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 8GB via an SD card slot. Its main advantages include a lightweight, portable design, built-in Wi-Fi for web browsing, and pre-loaded support for various e-book formats and the Borders bookstore. However, significant drawbacks include its low-precision resistive touchscreen that lacks multi-touch, the absence of the official Google Play Store, limited battery life of approximately 5–7 hours, and a dated operating system that cannot be easily updated.
