My 2012 Nexus 7 still works. ISTR it got a lot slower when it was
 updated from Android 4 to 5. But mine was long ago reflashed with
 a 3rd-party version of Android - 7.1.2 from 2017 - and once it's
 booted up, which takes ages, it runs pretty quickly.
 

I still use it for testing old apps. (It runs Firefox 68 which,
 until recently, was the only version on Android which would run
 Add-ons.)
