The 8.9" screen is big enough to work and watch on, but small enough to carry around in one hand.

Sound is more immersive, layered and distortion-free with front-facing HTC BoomSound™ speakers.

*Testing was conducted by Google using pre-production Nexus 9 devices and software. Talk time tests used default settings with Wi-Fi off and LTE on. Standby time tests used default settings with LTE on and Wi-Fi on. Wi-Fi internet tests had Airplane Mode on with Wi-Fi connected to a test access point, while loading three popular websites cached on a local server. The Nexus 9 loaded a page, waited 40 seconds, and then loaded a page from the next site. LTE internet tests had Wi-Fi off and LTE on, and used the same testing method as the Wi-Fi internet tests.
