The Nexus 7 2012 had degrading NAND performance because Asus skimped on the chip quality. No Android update could've prevented this.

- Macha 9y agoMy 2013 Nexus 7 only got replaced because of the battery expiring. I still liked it more than its replacement, the Nvidia shield (too heavy), and I'd like either of them way more than any android tablet still on the market.

- jsight 9y agoI was thinking the same thing. I had another ASUS tablet from the same era that had similar issues. People would literally install the OS on the SD Card and run inverted storage to avoid the issue.
