I ordered it mostly just because jellybean looks so awesome i had to have it. But now that the benchmarks have been released along with the full specs, im actually now somewhat convinced it is inferior to my ics running n7000, or at the least equal. I ran the gl 2.1 benchmark that anandtech ran and my stock (not overclocked ) note actually scored higher in all 4 benchmarks than the "12 core" tegra 3. So besides battery life and jellybean, im pretty meh at this point. Anyone else have similar feelings? Or am i really missing something?

For the price point; the Nexus 7 is a nice investment. The specs are solid. If you have disposable income it's hard not to throw $200 at the 7 and at the very least make it a part of your coffee table.
I'm in the boat that I will upgrade my Note to the Note 2 as no doubt the spec leap will be much bigger than the Nexus 7.
Dude the price is low for that 7"
So it worth it x2 each dollar, if you r looking an upgrade just wait the note 2 or other device

I'm with you in debating on it OP.
I've yet to put an order in as the Note 2 looks rather promising, however watching media on the 7" display would be lovely, and Tegra 3 aught to have enough power to handle S/W decoding of 10bit 720p, but I've also read that the S3 seems to handle it fine, and if the Note 2 will be a 'larger S3' then I might as well save the money and wait.
It's a tough decision, since it's realistically the best 7" tablet to come out yet.

Can't wait for my nexus 7 tablet
What is the point of buying it if you are basing that decision on purely benchmarks and OS version?
Are you actually going to make use of the extra screen space compared to the note?
If yes buy it, if not dont, simple
The Nexus 7" looks amazing for the price. The only downside is the lack of SD card slot.
I'm not sure if they left it out for cost reasons or to avoid annoying the other manufacturers.
I won't personally be getting one as I'm holding off buying a tablet until Win 8. You just know someone will bring out a device that dual boots in to win8 and android.
About a month ago I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 (7") for my Fiance as she wanted something like a kindle but that did a bit more. 16 Gb was £200 if the Nexus Tab has been out for £150 with better spec and newer OS I would have thought that was a great buy if you want a 7" tab.
I dont get this comparing tabs and phones. Its like comparing apples and oranges. Both fruits but not the same thing.

Except that the galaxy note is a phablet, a hybrid device. Thus the issue here.
To the person who said I only used benchmarks, not exactly. I was just saying that the 1.4ghz dualcore exynos with mali400 seems to still be a top dog and even beats/equals the "12core" tegra 3. Pretty impressive.
I do know the nexus 7 is a great device for $200. It doesn't have everything a galaxy note has like mhl, 5ghz wifi or sdslot but in terms of raw performance, screen resolution the $249 version is equal to my 16gb GT-N7000. No doubt it is an impressive device for the price. I found a deal on mine at Jr.com for $222 shipped 16GB version but that pre-order quickly sold out.
Even still I hesitate. It will probably only be a couple of months before the devs make a good port of jellybean for our note. Having a pure google device however does appeal to me. I'm still torn. Luckily it wont ship for another 10 days so I have all that time to decide.

That is the Galaxy Nexus phone, not the Nexus 7 tablet. Personally, the Galaxy Note eliminates the need of a tablet for me.
It's 7 inches. Not even 2 full inches of difference between the Note and Nexus. And you can put the Note in your pocket and take it everywhere with you. And since Nexus 7 does not use full tablet UI - it's basically "a bigger note" ( exaggeration for purpose of the thread ).
It all depends on your needs though. I really prefer to have just 1 device that i can carry everywhere, always. Tablets, even 7" are not that mobile despite all the marketing.
If its any help i currently take my note with me everywherr daily. I use my Galaxy Tab 10.1 for browsing, gaming and watching movies (in bed). I use the Galaxy Tab 2 for reading and general messing about.
I admit 1 person doesnt need all 3 in their life but I do prefer web browsing at home on either of the tabs as I find it better with the bigger screens and the same for reading and movie watching whilst at home.

There won't be any tablet ui in jellybean, it's gonna be universal like the galaxy nexus looks. Jellybean fully merges the tablet and phone ui together 100%. Any tablet that will support jellybean will look like the nexus 7 ui, no more tablet look.

The Note is also a phone and has 3G... and 2 good cameras.
The Nexus 7 is a nice tablet (low end price with good specs) but it cant be the only device to take, a good companion to a phone maybe.
I am currently using the Samsung galaxy nexus running android 4.2. The other day I saw my friend with her new nexus 4, and I really liked the feel for it, but I also saw the few flaws. I was wondering if it is really worth it to switch from the gnex to the nex4 ?

From the Galaxy Nexus? Nah. I don't think it's worth it. The Galaxy Nexus has more than adequate hardware to get at least 2 more major revisions of Android.
It's now just another 10 months to the next $349 of the Nexus 5.
I'd just wait if you already have the Galaxy Nexus. In my opinion, the construction of the Galaxy Nexus is more durable (i.e., plastic).
I upgraded from a gnex and I'd say the phone is well worth it. The screen is beautiful and the hardware is outstanding. I haven't noticed any type of lag what so ever with this phone as I would on the gnex.
I sold my gnex on craigslist which made up for a huge portion of the cost of my n4. If that's an option for you I'd say its 100% worth the upgrade
made the same upgrade. I think its worth it.
sometimes you dont notice how much waiting and lag etc there is with an older device until you get a faster one.
I made the upgrade. My Gnex is currently up to $242 with 17 hours left on the bid through eBay.
Even if I wasnt making any money back from my GNex I'd still be happy. Everything feels smoother and everything runs better
I made the upgrade as well. Totally worth it. The phone itself is beautiful. I love the edge-to-edge display with the curved glass off the sides. The display is much more crisp as well. It just feels great in the hand.
On the software side, I never thought my Gnex was slow -- until I got my N4.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
made the switch myself. mainly because i gave my gn to a family member who was still using a older phone that was starting to show its age
id say its worth it but i feel that GN is still a very fast phone running 4.2.1, so i dont know if its worth it. im just saying its worth it because im spoiled by the N4's screen and overall shape of the phone.
its really up to you honestly. id say just do it lol, but idk. :X for some reason the 4.65" to 4.7" feels like a bigger difference than what it should be. probably because of dpi
I was really hoping for the rumored 32GB LTE version to be announced at I/O but it seems that phone is a myth. So I'm now considering getting the current Nexus 4.
I'm curious to know if there are any ex-Galaxy Nexus owners in here and what their take on it is. Personally I love my phone for normal use. Running CM10.1 I'm able to do everything--aside from games--with smooth ease. Sadly, Subway Surfers and Iron Man are almost not worth playing on my phone and that's kind of a bummer. I'm also starting to see ghosting/burn-in in my screen, which isn't horrible but I think I'm over AMOLED. The real kicker is that my volume rocker has stopped working and it is the most inconvenient thing I've ever experienced on a modern smartphone.
So, should I upgrade?
I had the Galaxy Nexus and love the N5.
It's a worthwhile upgrade and at $349 the price can't be beat!
I say go for it! :good:

Another one chiming in.... Nexus 4 trumps GNex for me in every way. Good price as others have mentioned, and you will love the solid feeling design of the N4 compared to the plastic on the GNex. Make sure to get a back glass and front screen protector.

Now, I don't want to start a whole Nexus 4 vs. GS4 GE debate, but I do want to just point out that both phones have their pros and cons. GS4 GE has removable storage and battery, and does have better hardware. Nexus 4 costs about half as much and is still a top-of-the-line phone. Again, not trying to start a debate, but OP, if you're considering upgrading to either of these, I'd say go check the pros and cons. There's a thread you can go to made specifically for debating the N4 vs any other phone. If I find it, I'll edit this post and put it in.

I spent $600 on my Galaxy Nexus a month and a half before it went on the Play Store. I told myself I'd never spend that much on a phone (upfront) again. While I would love the S4GE, I just can't see myself dropping $650 + tax + shipping.
Thanks to everyone who replied! I'm pretty sure a Nexus 4 is in my future.

I did and am extremely happy with the decision. I had the GNex on VZW, and even got rid of my service so I could switch to the N4 on a GSM provider. Very glad I did. This phone is extremely smooth and the developer support is tremendous just like our old Gnex. Only downside compared to Gnex is lack of replaceable battery but I really havent run into an issue with this. I have an external battery backup just in case, but havent even run into a situation where I needed to use it. Plus as everyone else has noted the price simply cant be beat. There might be newer, more powerful phones on the market now (GS4, HTC1) but they would run you double to buy outright or you would have to lock in a service contract. In my opinion it just isnt worth the extra money for those, plus they lack the full nexus experience.
N4 has better screen, battery, design, quality.
And of course CPU and GPU is light years away.
After that is camera 2 gigs of ram that makes the super smooth.
So to conclude it is much better than GN.
Stop thinking about it. Buy N4 and sell the GN or keep as a spare.

I did the upgrade a few days ago and I can tell you that it's totally worth it! Even with the upcoming S4 Google version, I think N4 is still a better choice by design and functionality. (Yes, S4 is more powerful in terms of hardware but the button design has ruined everything IMO)

Yeah... I just switched from the galaxy nexus as well... couldn't be happier! Battery life has been just as good as stock battery gn and it's much faster... I don't think the s4 is worth nearly twice the price

I agree with you. When I first came off of the amoled my Nex4 did look washed out. Once I got used to the colors on the Nex4 I realized how much more true to life they are. Now when I look at amoled it looks like a over saturated replica of colors.
The N4 makes the GNex blow IMO.

My other tablet is the Note 10.1 which I love especially with the multi-tasking features so it's a tough call. I've been using the Nexus 7 almost exclusively and it's growing on me, it's a nice size for gaming and the resolution is great. Although I'm looking forward to Samsung's new tablets that are coming soon.... Never ending cycle.

Hardware wise, it doesn't seem like horrible tablet. Anyway, I played with the Nexus 7 (2013) yesterday and it feels so light(like the Kindle Paperwhite). Furthermore, the screen and sound quality was excellent. it felt wonderful in my hand. To bad I in possession of a Samsung ATIV 500T (a 11.6" Atom powered Windows 8 tablet with Wacom tech) and a Kindle paperwhite, so I don't really need the Nexus 7 (2013).

The 2013 n7 I will just use for basic things right now seeing as how 4.3 is new and not completely supported by all apps. I like the 2013 n7 better, but until the apps catch up, I'm going to hold on to that original n7. In time I'll probably give it to a family member as a gift. Everybody and there momma is selling them on craigslist, so I probably won't go that route...
This replaced my BB Playbook, which is going on CL asap, and I'll be telling it not to let the door hit it in the rear end...
We have an "old" Nexus 7 that we will keep for sure. The iPad was sold when we got the first Nexus 7, just a hard tablet to beat, the new one even more so!
Now I understand why my wife doesn't use her iPad Mini as much and use her note a lot more. Since I got my Moto X with 5.1" screen, I barely touched my Nexus 7.
Yes screen is larger on Nexus 7 but it is slower and sluggish compare to moto x and I decided to sell it before it looses more value after Nexus 9.
Now I wonder what would be like to have Nexus 6 or Note 4.

I dunno, it's still a pretty big jump in screen size to the Nexus 7. I don't use my N7 that much because I prefer the iPad Mini by a wide margin, but I don't see myself ever not using a tablet just because my phone has a large screen.
Yeah if I end up using tablet I grab my wife's retina iPad mini. Unless I am about to read books or a long article, I find myself sticking to my phone only

I sell mine when i bought the S3. With the Nexus 5 i was looking for some think to see films.
Tab s 8.4 was my choice, and the screen i ossome but the sistem is not good as the n7.
Nexus 6 maybe will be the final answer. But depend if you like manage a big phone(or a little tablet) all day.
I had a N7 that I ended up giving to my daughter once I got my N5 because I just wasn't using the N7. When I switched to Xfinity, they gave me an iPad mini that I barely use because of my moto X. The only thing I use the mini for is watching Netflix and the Xfinity DVR app.
I just don't see the need for two devices when these phones are so big. Maybe, if phone screen sizes were still like the original iPhone, then I could see it. But that's just my opinion and I also can see why people would need both.
not sure what is wrong with the op's nexus 7. mine is as snappy as anything else i own.
I really enjoy the N7 with Android L. I rather watch a movie on a 7" screen than the 5.2" screen. It'll last me for a while.
I guess for those who don;t mind carrying around a large phone, the Nexus 6 is going to be the ideal all in one device.
Well,
The difference to my Note 10 is still pretty big, but yes, my son now has the Nexus 7. I do see why the 7 was eliminated from the lineup when the new Nexus devices were introduced at 6 and 9. However, for the first time in a long time, the only Nexus device in our household will be used by my son. I wanted the Moto Nexus, but 6" was just too big, so went for the X.

Yeah, the N7 is definitely showing its age. It's still pretty fast, but it certainly isn't anywhere close to being as fast or as fluid as the current crop of smartphones. That said, I can't wait to get my Nexus 9, that thing is going to be a beast of a tablet. Still gonna hang on to my N7 though, I don't like to get rid of old devices if I like them.

My dream one day as well. I went through so many android tablets in hope of having a better tablet than iPad.
There are few things that I used to use nexus 7 over phone: reading kindle, reading pdf files, and reading long articles. All reading related and 5.2" are more than enough now. Who knows I might get nexus 9 as well since it has significant size difference.
