Or maybe google thinks that phone UI more easier for senior citizens & general public? Or maybe google wants you to feel its a big big phone instead of a small small tablet? whatever the reason, you can force your nexus7 to have tablet UI. (only for ROOT users) 1. install roms that have tablet UI, here are 2 examples, there may be more in XDA website Paranoid android SGT7 2. can try this patch as well, developed by barrmulio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780970 you MUST read the Pre-requisites before flashing this patch! 3. By changing DPI/LCD density install RomToolbox., go to the "performance" tab, choose "build.prop editor", find "ro.sf.lcd_density", default value is 213, anything below 177 will force it to tablet UI. the smaller the value, the smaller the fonts and words. 160 is default dpi for 10inch tablet.

Be prepared warranty will be voided Worrying n scared is your own fault for buying imported stuff Agree. I already had this in mind when i order my Nexus4, and when I root my i9100 on the first week after purchase.
