Performance
Under the hood, the Nexus 9 is powered by an Nvidia Tegra K1 chipset with a 2.3 GHz dual-core Denver CPU and a Kepler DX1 GPU. This setup allows the tablet to handle everyday tasks smoothly, although it may struggle with the most demanding of applications or modern high-end games. The device launched with Android 5.0 Lollipop, but is upgradeable to 7.1.1 Nougat, ensuring it remains usable with many apps despite being several years old.
