What owners say about the NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 3G (1GB + 16GB)

Based on 139 owners sharing their experience in online comments

36%positive9%mixed55%negative

Owners praise its fast gaming performance and useful stylus, but frequent failures, weak battery life, and update problems dominate.

What owners dislike

  • Tablets often get stuck at the boot logo after unlocking, wiping or flashing the wrong ROM; some were revived with Super Tool fastboot restore.27
  • Owners report lag and freezing, often after the Lollipop 5.1 update or a reset, and some see slowdowns after a full charge.13
  • Some owners get only 2 to 3 hours on Wi-Fi at half brightness, and drain fast after the 5.1 update.11
  • Super Tool often needs the right version and USB drivers; newer 2.6 failed during TWRP install, so older 2.5 worked.11
  • The Lollipop 5.1 update removed features like Miracast and core settings for some, and left others unable to use the internet.10
  • Owners report the micro-USB port breaks easily, the glass cracks more readily, and some units failed within months.7
  • Owners say the 4.2 and 4.3 updates, and KitKat 4.4, made the microSD card unusable, and an SD fix left a 64GB card unmounted.4
  • Some games such as Rayman and Real Racing 3 misbehave, and Xbox 360 controllers are hard to get working, unlike PS3 controllers.4
  • Owners find redstone barely useful, and say it cannot be placed on the ground to build circuits.4
  • Maps are small with only about 20 to 30 diamonds, and one owner spent an hour before finding any ore.3

Third-party reviews

What customers like about NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 3G (1GB + 16GB)

  • Excellent gaming performance powered by the Tegra 4 processor
  • Highly responsive 'DirectStylus' with integrated palm rejection
  • Great audio quality from dual front-facing stereo speakers with bass reflex ports
  • Exceptional value for money compared to competitors like the Galaxy Note 8.0
  • Useful physical connectivity including micro-HDMI and a microSD card slot
  • Clean, nearly stock Android experience with timely updates from NVIDIA
  • Convenient built-in storage silo for the passive stylus

What customers don't like about NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 3G (1GB + 16GB)

  • Subpar build quality with a 'plasticky' feel and occasional creaking
  • Low screen resolution (1280x800) compared to contemporary rivals like the Nexus 7
  • Poor camera performance, particularly the 'awful' front-facing VGA sensor
  • Limited multitasking capability due to only 1GB of RAM
  • Average to below-average battery life, especially during intensive gaming
  • Screen colors can appear muted or drab with high reflectivity
  • Lacks support for 5GHz Wi-Fi and (in many models) cellular data

Verdict

The Nvidia Tegra Note 7 (3G) is a performance-oriented 7-inch tablet powered by the quad-core 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor with 72-core GeForce graphics, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD up to 32GB. It features a 1280 x 800 IPS display, front-facing stereo speakers with a bass reflex port, and an integrated DirectStylus for pressure-sensitive input. Main advantages include exceptional gaming and benchmark performance for its class, a near-stock Android experience, and versatile connectivity through micro-HDMI and 3G support. However, it is hindered by a relatively low-resolution screen (215 ppi), underwhelming 5MP rear and VGA front cameras, and a plastic build that some users find prone to creaking or scratching.
