[Q]Is it worth to buy a Nexus 7 now? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I'm planning to buy my first tablet and I'd love a nexus device as I like modding or the LG G Pad 8.3 (which is only 220€ here on Amazon Italy) but I've heard that a Nexus 8 may come out very soon.
So, what do you guys think? Should I wait for a new device?

Both the n7 2012 and 2013 are still remarkable devices and will have official support for some time to come and also many talented devs that will keep both tabs relevant for years to come.
The nexus 8 is still a rumor as there is back and forth about turning all the nexus line to android silver which won't be the same. If I were to bet we will still see a nexus 8 in the next few months but there's no guarantee, still at least for me, the 7 inch form factor is perfect, I also have a nexus 10 but the n7 is what I use all day.

[Q] Will there be a new Nexus 10 coming out this year?

I was thinking of buying the Nexus 10, however hearing rumors that Google is releasing a new Nexus 7, I was wondering if this is also the case for the Nexus 10?

Nobody knows until Google actually says something. But in the event they were releasing a new N10, it wouldn't be till November.
There will always be a new something that better coming out.

As the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and Note 10.1 are not better than the N10, I don't think it'll be any time soon. However, if Google does a one year refresh like the Nexus 7, then you'll see it on November 12th.
Sorry I'm not able to get more specific.
A new nexus 10 is completely unheard of. I highly doubt it happens any time soon.

I think they ought to, at the very LEAST, release a bloody stand/charging dock for it!

Not completely, Samsung had specs for a new model refresh known as the Nexus 11 months ago and was trying to get it pushed through. The only rumor that came since then was that Google wasn't wanting a refresh yet. This is from a Samsung document in late April (supposedly):
NEXUS 11*
- 11” Super PLS TFT
- 8 Megapixel
- 2 Megapixel
- Octa-Core A15 / A7 (Exynos 5410)
- Micro SD 64 GB (Rumoured)
* Needs to get approvement from Google (Worlds first Octa-Core tablet)
lets hope
- 0 reboots

Yeah right. No way it will be 249. The nexus 7 is 249. The nexus 10 will have to probably be same as first version. 399 for 16 GB and 499 for 32 GB. (Maybe you meant euros?) I don't know where your from but I'm talking about dollars. Anyways I think 100 bucks for 16 GB is too much more. But the cheapest variant will most likely be 399.
If there even is one because it hasn't been confirmed its just being assumed there will be a new version. Google could just make a whole new tablet

I know it won't be 249... thats why I said I seen an article stating 299. That doesnt make it true at all though. No one knows so I told him what I've read, I highly doubt that price as well.

Yeah... No way Google is gonna downgrade the display, that's one of their sales points for the n10, its 2560x1600 (something like that) display
Sent from my Nexus 4 [NEO @1.836 GHz] on [PSX v4.1 4.3]
I've also seen articles saying 299... makes me question the quality of the tablet if it's set at that price.
For Snapdragon 800 I believe it's true, also 3GB RAM too. Now 1080p screen? Are you kidding me or what? Nexus 10 made it fame for its 2560x1600 screen, which is the main point for me buying mine. Also another thing we need to know is who will produce it. I wonder if will be Samsung again or Asus, if Samsung, it's pretty sure we will see an Exynos processor, like the current Nexus 10.
I don't mind paying 399 or 499 if its well built. I'd take that over a 299 device that's neutered for sure. I'm hoping there's a 64gb option.

Pretty sure it's been confirmed to be ASUS.
There's no way the new Nexus 10 is being released for $299. The new Nexus 7 was released for $229, which was $29 more than the original Nexus 7.
I'm guessing $399-$429 for the base model.
The screen will be 2560x1600, since the new Asus Transformer Pad Infinity (TF701T) has a 2560x1600 screen. No sense for Asus to make a lower res screen for a new tablet.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the new Nexus 10 is just the TF701T without the keyboard.
Do you think the Nexus 10 2 will in fact be released this month or next month?

Yeah that it what I was thinking as well. I need a tablet now though. So its either a Nexus 10 or a Asus Memo Pad FHD. The Nexus is about $360 and the Asus is about $300
Nexus 5 will be unveiled in October the 14th. I can see them unveiling the Nexus 10 2 as well just like last year. Remember last year's unveiling was delayed by a hurricane and when the unveiling came Google produced all both devices and 4.2 at the same event.
It will be kit kat, N5 and N10 all on the same date I'm pretty certain.
Roll on the 14th.

I think my Nexus 10 prediction may be wrong as there have hardly been any leaks yet and there have been numerous nexus 5 leaks.
I think the Nexus 10 will be released in November. There is a redesign of the Play Store to accommodate tablet apps on 21st of November which may coincide with a tablet release.

No I can wait about 2 weeks. I need one by the end of this month. I do have a feeling though that they will only release the Nexus 5 this month and the Nexus 10 2 next month towards the end. Then I would have to pick a tablet before then.

So the Nexus 5 came out on Oct 31st but still no word on the Nexus 10 2. Is this coming anytime soon or even exist? I really hope it comes ASAP because I've been waiting about 2 months for this thing. My only other options are the Nexus 10 2012 and the Note 10.1 2014

[Q] G Pad 8.3 vs Nexus 7 2013

Hi everyone,
Christmas is coming and I'd like to buy a tablet. It's the first one that I'll get and I'm not sure yet if it's worth buying it. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S II and I'm really happy with it, I think I'll get a new phone next year (Maybe a Nexus device).
So, I can't decide between 2 devices:
-LG G Pad 8.3: it has a bigger screen (I think 8 inch is the perfect size even if I haven't tried it) and a faster CPU (I don't mind SD Slot)
-Google Nexus 7 2013: it's cheaper, smaller and, well, a nexus. I love modding and I'd flash a ParanoidAndroid (it seems there aren't many developers on G Pad 8.3), however I love Nexus devices' instant updates.
I'd choose Nexus 7, but I don't know if the screen is too small for a tablet. I'll use it for movies, games, browsing, and music. Here in Italy G Pad costs 255€, while Nexus 7 (32 GB) is 232€. Has someone got any advice for me?
Sorry for my english!

I would go with the Nexus 7 2013 because it's performance is excellent, plus you mentioned you love device modding and the Nexus 7 2013 has an very active development community, additionally it will have fastest updates as it's a Nexus device. As far as size is concerned 7 inches compared to 8.3 isn't necessarily that much of a difference compared to 7 inches and say 10 inches, but it really is a personal preference. If you do end up wanting the LG G Pad I would recommend taking a look at the Google Play Edition of the device that was just released if it's available on the Italian Google Play Store. Overall I would go with the Nexus 7 2013.

Is it still a good option?

As nexus 9 is manufactured by htc and there is no more htc products being sold in my country (Samsung literally put htc out of business here) and I will travel to Orlando on the 25th January, I ask you:
Is nexus 9 a solid purchase?
I ask this question because I am struggling to choose between nexus 9 and z3 tablet, so what are your thoughts on this?
I've had bad experiences with the 9 although by far the best tablet I've ever used

By the way, when you say it is the best tablet, what is your opinion about day to day usage?

I Went from a xoom(on launch day) to a nexus 10(week after launch) to the nexus 9 and am very happy. I thought after years with a 10.1 screen I would hate the smaller screen(i had tried both model nexus 7s) but since I mostly browse the web it pretty much renders text the same size because the nexus 10 in landscape always wastes a lot of screen one each side with blank bars. Very happy with its performace but wouldnt mind a 9.7 screen like the ipad and touchpad but its a great compromise with portability compared to the bezel king nexus 10 and chunky old xoom.

Yup, oneplus one had amazing development too but it took a really long time to pick up, probably due a combination of the invite system and bad stock firmware. Oneplus two is only worse from the sound of things. I had a great experience with nexus 4.

I could never find a good rom for my Samsung tablet. Even cyangenmod would lag for me.
Yeah..I got my Goog Fi sim but no phone to use with. Hopefully the Nexus 6p is not a let down.
Nexus 6P. Since using the G3, G4 and Nexus 6 i cant go back to such a small screen. Tried with the GS6 for a bit but couldnt deal lol
If the 6p have a 12mp camera I'm going to be upset....especially when some of huawei cameras currently have 21mo camera

My HTC One M7 is holding up extremely well for its age, but I would like more storage and stock Android. Not custom ROM stock Android either. Pure, Vanilla, supported by Google Android. If the Nexus 6P is as good looking
(and of resemblance to my M7) as the leaks suggest, it's an easy buy for me. I love my Nexus 7 tablet because I don't have to root it to get what I want. I just have to wait, and then I have the latest and greatest! Considering it looks to have incredible specs and performance, I'm not sure how fast it will be. My M7 is by no means sluggish or slow, so I'm curious as to how snappy the Huawei will be. Regardless, I'm excited for it simply because my M7 is still an incredible phone and we can only get better from here. Plus, stock Android is gorgeous.
Beans loved your Nexus 6 ROM . But I sold it and got a T-Mobile Note 5 and rooted and ROM'd it.
I'm thinking on maybe getting the Nexus 6P if it'll be better than my ROM'd Note 5 P ?
Note 5 vs. Nexus 6P;
- Screen / Display, which one will be better ?
- Camera ?
- Battery life ?
- Build quality and design of phone ?
- Battery life ?
I know the Nexus obviously has the better pure stock Android, but TW isn't as bad as expected, as long as you run a Material theme + Nova launcher + Lollipop icons + debloat all the crapware and apps. And have a good tweaked kernel + ROM. If you do all of that, the Note 5 is pretty sweet then.
Will the Nexus 6P be better ? If so I'm in.
Will definitely get the 6P and maybe later on get the 5X for work!
You guys read about this? 128gb Nexus? Any truth?

I'll most likely be getting it. I have a feeling its super thin, which is why that little hump is around the camera.
It does look unbalanced though, like top heavy. I'll judge when it comes out.

After 29.9 will decide if it Nexus 6P or Moto X Pure/Style. Heart says Nexus
Hope it will be in range of 400$-500$.
6p all the way for me. 5.5"-5.7" is where i like to stay. 5.9 is a little much but id still buy it over a 5.2..
It's always sad to see how non americans need to pay a premium and months to get nexus. The names are crazy, but still nexus fans here. Anyone wants to help to get the 6p and post it to me in Malaysia?
Nexus ftw!!
i am almost on the brink of purchasing a Nexus 6 (2014) off amazon , cause it is on sale great pricing atm.
kind of waiting for official and not 'leaked' images of the actual Nexus 6P , the leaked images look weird the design is a big turn off for me,
if the leaked images turn out to be the real deal then it is defintely a no go for me no matter what the specs are, i will rather get the nexus 6 (2014) cause it looks sleek af.
