My brother has been talking about getting a Nexus tablet and I was thinking of getting him one. Just had a look and I thought Nexus was a brand, now I see different people make a 'Nexus'

Bit confused by it all, I have a iPad so I don't bother looking at other stuff. He has a Galaxy S5 so he knows Android, but it needs to be easy to use, or is Nexus different to Android (see I have not got a clue on this)

Any advice on which one to get, cost is not really an issue, I want a good one that's gonna last

These are the newest google nexus devices running Android Lollipop:

I have the 2013 Nexus 7 (made bu ASUS) which I believe is hard to find now. I think the new generation of Google Nexus devices are manufactured by HTC but it's a GOOGLE device for all intents and purposes.

Nexus is just the model name for the google range of tablets and phones.

Aye Google just use different bitches to make their shit. The wife has the first Nexus 7 which was made by Asus and that one has been very good but don't be confused by it all Edmond you gormless Southern cow, just listen to leggy the sexy Northern cow.

I'm still loving my 2013 Nexus 7 well over a year after I got it.

Android 5 (I'm on 5.0.2 if memory serves) has really freshened it up. My iPad 3 is a clunky pile of bollocks in comparison since iOS7.

I like mine so much I bought another one when I cracked the screen. Annoyingly however, the Android 5 update hasn't reached the LTE version yet.

It's super Gaff, much cleaner feel.

Only niggle is the multitasking "cards" thing, needs a tweak.

He went for the Sammy tab S with the 10" screen. I was going to buy it for him, but he gets funny about me buying him stuff like that, so I think he went and got this as I was asking him which one he was after, and didn't want me to get it for him

Its my brother that has got himself a new tablet. My dad struggles to turn his old Nokia 6230 on, let alone know how to use it.

He asked me once if I could sent an email for him as he needed to contact someone and he had to do it that way, the email address he gave me had 3 '@'s in it and just didn't make any sense
