What owners say about the NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 WiFi (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
