I am thinking of buying a nexus 7 because my galaxy player 5.0 is showing its age and is lagging terribly with current games ( it only has 512mb ram and 1ghz core) and would the nexus 7 be a good choice for me. I would prefer a small tablet/ Phablet phone but nothing more than 300$.
I would mostly use it for gaming and web browsing and maybe some rom developing . Would this be a good choice for the money, or are there better devices for the money? Thanks!
The N7 is a power house when it comes to gaming, the Tegra 3 runs all games flawlessly and is the best value for money.
Only thing that you need to keep in mind are some of the screen issues many people here are experiencing.

Yeah you should read up on the problems some of the folks have had with the screen, and decide whether or not it's worth the risk of getting a bad unit. My roommate had bought an N7 before me, and hers didn't seem to have any problems at all. I still inspect mine every day looking for screen lift or crackling speakers, but have found nothing.
Yeah go for it, like others have already said the N7 is perfect for what your wanting to do on it, websites and gaming.

If you want the perfect device for sofa-surfing and ebook reading, go for it.
I don't think there's anything better out there.
Gaming isn't that good though. Tegra 3 sucks.

Compared to the vast variety of games on the apple store, there isn't much in android play store. But that should change

What are you smoking and where can I get some? Gaming is fantastic on this device. It's the developers who aren't fixing their games for jelly bean.
Go ahead and get one! I can't really see a reason not to.
I love mine to bits, even more than my old Transformer
I checked 6 tablet today..... The all suck, and pixelated, lagish....
Slow, and borring....
Except 2.
N7 and ipad.
Ur choice?
I think the Nexus 7 is the best android tablet in terms of hardware and software. Coming from an iPad, I can say I am most satisfied with my purchase.

Sorry its all for me.... It's called S3. I play a lot and it is much better for gaming. Dead Trigger looks better and runs smoother then on the 7.
Max Payne runs on both devices good.

Wait until the holidays to buy a Nexus 7. They say it is going to be $99 dollars for the version now, and it will be $199 for a newer version that will be thinner with a smaller bezel, etc.
Hello all
I will be getting a Nexus tablet this Xmas, it will either be 32gb N7 or 16gb N10.
I'm very torn to which I should go for.
I currently have an iPad and I'm happy to be leaving IOS but I'm not sure how I'd 7" display on the N7.
My gut feeling is N7 due to the size but I'm not sure due to the size!!!
I know indecisive but that why I'm asking for your opinions.
Thank you in advance.
Do what i'm doing. Go to Sams club buy yourself a 32 gb nexus 7 use it for up to 90 days, return it and try the nexus 10 same way.
Only you can answer this really it completely depends on tour usage. I don't think it will be superior its just different. They are both nexus and both very high end devicea

Nexus 10 will probably be the "better" tablet but it really depends on what you want. If you want to carry your tablet around everywhere then the Nexus 7 is probably a better choice. If it's going to stay at home most of the time then Nexus 10. If you're going to be watching a lot of movies then Nexus 10 is better. For reading books Nexus 7.
Nexus 7
-Small form factor (easy to carry around, very portable)
-Smaller form factor also makes it great for gaming
-Good for reading eBooks
Nexus 10
-Beautiful screen (great for videos and games)
-Better hardware
I'm waiting for a truck load of reviews.. One review I read already puts me in the `not buying' category.. I don't trust Samsumg with tablets.. They have a good track record with throwing awesome hardware into a tablet and having it perform like a Celeron trying to run Windows Vista with 512MB of RAM. I already have one 10 inch paperweight of theirs.. I'm not looking for another.

Thanks for the info, I travel quite a lot and take my iPad everywhere, browse and watch TV/films when in hotels.

The N7 is a show stopper considering the price.. The N10 has (imo) A LOT to live up to considering it's twice as much as the N7.. For double the price I sure as hell better be getting more than 3inches of screen, 400mhz and Antutu scores that ring in 4000 points lower than my N7 along with other benchmarks that are worse than my N7.. I'm 35 and well beyond buying junk for material reasons and it's looking like the N10 is going to be just that.

While I cannot speak for the Nexus 10, I do own the Nexus 7 and believe the light weight and form factor to be its greatest strengths. I used to own an iPad 3, but sold it after getting the Nexus 7. The iPad always felt a little too big and heavy for use at home. In many instances I simply used my laptop/PC instead. The 7" form factor is perfect for browsing the web, reading eBooks, watching 720p movies, etc. while on the go or moving around the house.
Also, the one concern I would have in regards to the Nexus 10 are the applications themselves. From my experience with the N7, many apps on the Play market are not tablet optimized. There are basically many apps that are essentially made for phones that are blown up to fit the Nexus 7. It does not look too bad on a 7" screen, but I can only imagine phone apps being a complete waste of space on a 10" tablet. I think in time Android will get more tablet specific apps though.
Well you already have a 10 inch tablet so why not add a 7 incher to your stable? The portability and light weight of the nexus 7 really adds to its usefulness and ease of use. Reading a few reviews of the n10 is a good idea though before making your decision.
Not to encourage greed, but if this is going to be a gift then you might want to opt for the more valuable n10.
I would suggest asking this in the Nexus 10 forums too, just to get their point of view. Overall , you're going to get a bias opinion in the Nexus 7 forums and the Nexus 10 forums,just spread it out a bit.
I would suggest the N7 for its price, HD screen and form factor. It handles anything (that's optimised, **** you gameloft) you throw at it and doubles as an eReader and gaming device. The N10 is undoubtedly better for watching moves with its retina crushing 2560 x 1600 resolution screen and browsing the web, however for £130 less the N7 does that just as well. The N7 has served me well for the last 4 months or so, it lasts me a full days usage and I use it heavily as I travel a lot. My usages contains reading, albeit I a small amount, gaming, browsing, music, IRC, Text based games and watching videos. It'll survive about 6 hours screen time with full brightness and wifi.
Thank you all for your advice, I am fairly certain it will be the N7. It will be a gift and also a replacement for the iPad. I look forward to coming back to this forum when start flashing those ROM's.

I've only had mine for a week. So far I love it. Can't say its the best since I haven't played around with many others. I'd like to take the Nexus 10 for a test drive. Still, for the money, I can't think of anything better. What do you guys think?
I've had mine since August. It's my fifth tablet and by far my favorite.

Five!? Wow. What were the others and what makes this one so much better if I may ask?
I have a viewsonic g-tablet, and a transformer prime. They collect dust since I got the nexus7.
It's mainly size that makes it much more useable then those 10" tablets. Take it with me everywhere, its better for gaming also due to the size.
For the hardware and price, it really can't be beat.
I started with a 16gb on pre-order. Then they announced the 32gb. So I bought myself one of those. The girlfriend is getting my old 16gb, and I picked up another 32gb for my mom for the holidays for 229.
Really can't go wrong.
May I ask where you got the 32 for 229$

I had a Acer a500 10" tablet before my nexus 7. I'd have to charge it about once a week, maybe not even that. My nexus 7, I have to charge about every 2 days. Noo, this isn't about battery life. Its that I can't put my nexus 7 down! I can't believe how enjoyable this device is to use. I thought I was taking a step backwards with going to a smaller screen. I was wrong. I love my nexus 7 and I use this thing everyday. Its amazing and for $200, you can't beat it. My gf loves my nexus 7 and always wants to use it. In fact she wanted jewelry for Christmas but now she wants a nexus 7 lol

I actually got it from Adorama but it was a cyber monday thing on ebay.. But I've seen a few people in the whos is shipping thread stickied at the top getting similar prices since.
At that price, it was a great deal. I totalled up the 16gb from the play store, with tax and shipping it would have come to 230 something. And I got the 32gb for 229 with no tax and free shipping.
Had an I pad 1 and a Kindle Fire and by far this thing is my favorite tablet to date. Just works!

Best 7" Tablet and probably best tablet for the price.
If you want a larger tablet, then obviously there are probably better choices out there, but they cost more $$.
After watching Cnet top 10 gifts this year. I can see why the Nexus 7 made it to the #1 spot this year.
In the area where I'm living you won't find the Nexus 7 16GB model anywhere within a 50 mile range in any stores. Cause they are flying out of the door faster then they can get them. The stores in my area still had like four 32GB model of the Nexus 7 still. Least that what they had when I called them asking how many they had. That was three days ago when I bought my Nexus 7.

Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Asus TF300 and Nexus 7.
The Nooks were crippled with old versions of Android and had to be hacked to be made useful. The Galaxy Tab had Touchwiz over Android and Samsung was slow with updates. The Asus has terrible I/O issues that cause the tablet to be very slow when any I/O is being done. After having both 7 and 10 inch tablets I find for me 7 is the sweet spot and the Nexus has been my favorite.....so far.

Maybe not the best in sheer performance, but I would definitely say the best overall when it comes to value quality and performance as a package. And its a nexus, after getting my gnex in July I don't think I'll ever get another non-nexus android device.
On another note, when I decided to get one (I buy everything in 32gb where possible) most stores were out of stock, I bought the last one office depot had in.

Poor battery life? Not my experience at all. of course, I've only had it for a little over a week. Still, I've used the heck out of this little device and haven't felt the need to run to the charger. Two days is my requirement. If it can last me two days with heavy use then battery life will never be an issue. The Nexus 7 does this and more. Also, maybe I have very clear vision, but I think seeing web sites in full desktop view is fine on the Nexus 7. I always hit the "request full desktop option under chrome when browsing.
But it still nice to get someone's opinion who favors other devices. IMHO, the lack of a true HD screen, the wider and taller form factor (yes it is noticeable after holding the two devices in your hand), having to look at the same static stale home screen all the time, puts the iPad Mini near the bottom spot for me. Frankly, even if the Nexus 7 was priced the same at $329, I still think it is the better buy.

The lack of the TV output is most certainly a valid point, but I really don't know of anyone that uses that on a tablet. I have it on my Acer Iconia A100 and I have the HDMI cable and I used it once just to check it out. Not really that important with very few use cases.
The full screen web experience thing is a little confusing. You get the full desktop versions of the sites if desired. Web browsing is very snappy due to the quad core processor and 1GB of ram.
The iPad mini does have the upper hand on the battery life though, but it is by 2 hours. The iPad gets 12 hours while the Nexus 7 gets 10. I don't think I have ever used a tablet for 10 hours in a single day.
Yeah my first tablet and loving it.

Hi. I've been using the N7 (32 TV WiFi only) for almost 2 months. The first time saw it in a shop, I thought the screen is kinda small. But after trying it out for quite awhile, I find that it's just about right. Watching videos, browsing the internet or playing games is not a problem in terms of screen size. The 'neutral colors' of the screen is not an issue for me. I'm happy with the performance of the N7. I'm sure your cousin will like it. And holding the N7 with one hand is not that unwieldy. HATH.

Nexus 7, iPad Mini, Kindle Fire. Pick your poison.
I frankly think that 7" is a sweet spot for tablets: easy and comfortable to hold with one hand and large enough to watch movies. The iPad mini at 8" is already uncomfortable to use with one hand, for example.
The N7 has excellent audio output, incidentally.
Last but not least, as someone else already pointed out, there is nothing comparable at this price level.

Just ordered this one for $229 shipped. Couldn't pass it up especially since the TAB 2 screen is really washed out compared to my Note 2 and I cannot access media off the 64GB SD card except through file explorers. Media apps did not like ExFat or Fat32. Kind of disappointed with the Tab 2. After I get the Nexus I will play with both and see which will be the keeper.

7" is what I would call the best screen size for a tablet - I've gone through an original iPad and a slightly smaller Archos tablet and the nexus 7 really is the right size and shape for everything I use it for, its made the full size iPad feel unwieldy to me.
And as for going into a shop and playing about with one, just before Christmas I was in Comet (UK) with a friend and I had a quick play about with the shop floor one and it'd be loaded up with so many active widgets it was like a slideshow, so I'm not sure that's the best example

This seven is my first android tablet, and I'm actually loving it much more than I initially thought I would.
The size of this tablet is just the right size, really comfortable to hold even with just one hand and the things I could do with it (reading books, occasional gaming, browsing the web and whatnot) brings no regret whatsoever

Agreed. Bought the wife a TAB 10.1 and that thing is a beast. Great for her as she uses it to replace her sheet music on gigs. At $229 to my door I couldn't pass up giving it few rounds vs the TAB 2 7 P3100.

I've been lucky with my TF700T - I haven't run into the performance issues so many others have seen. With 64GB internal memory, plus a 64GB microSD in it, and another 64GB card in the dock it has tons of on-board memory - and then it has the USB port in the dock with enough juice to power a 1TB drive attached, making it excellent for playing ripped movies on the beautiful 10" screen. So for me, one does not replace the other, just makes for more flexible choices. But I do spend far more time on the N7 now.

You're one of the lucky ones... Mine (32GB) was riddled with I/O problems due to the slow memory... It was basically unusable. I was a bit unsure of the nexus because I felt burned by Asus on that, but I've been very happy with this product.

I've now got 4 of them and using them to build a Home Media System (to replace an older Intercom System) - pics and details in this thread.

One particular issue is trying to replace the simple "Page" function of the old intercom. I'm currently using Skype but it does not cut the mustard, though thankfully the developer of "Android Intercom" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidintercom&hl=en seems keen to make some changes to support what I need. Just a simple way of pressing a button and turning on two way comms between the tablets so you can say "Dinner" and the Kids can say "Coming"!
Edit, the N7 is perfect for this project as it has:
- Wireless Charging (so I can mount Qi chargers behind the picture frame)
- Touch to Wake (thanks for the ElementalX Kernal)
- Playback all the media thanks to JRiver's Gizmo
- The Speakers are OK (not great but OK)
- Stable, they don't seem to crash/hang
- Good Screen
- Cheap!

For me, I wanted a 7 inch tablet to replace my 1st edition nook color, the main purpose was for reading books. I went with the nexus 7 because of the screen and price point, didn't see much point in getting something like the kindle when the N7 screen blows everything else out of the water.
I havegalaxy note (2011) and i use my note for surfing webs but the note is very laggy and it still has outdated android 4.0 (i didnt rooted it)
So i choose nexus 7 32 gb cause of better screen fast cpu etc and nexus 7 is an EPIC device. Everything is fast. the screen is awsome and i think every penny u spend on this device is worth it! And im looking forward for android 4.4 update.

Use in bed, tablet on my beer belly. Better than laptop.
1080p display was the single sufficient reason for me. Everything else is just bonus. Loving it to the core
I got it for 3 main reasons.
1. Aviation. 7 inch is perfect for a tiny airplane.
2. So I can view IP camera while I focus them.
3. It's pretty *****in.

Because I still can't find a phone worthy of replacing my Samsung Galaxy SII. (That's right you read that correctly the 2)
N7 let's me stay on the cutting edge of stock Android goodness, while still enjoying Cyanogenmod on my GSII - which IMHO is the perfect physical form factor while still having enough muscle under the hood...

I wanted a small tablet and also an Android device. This is perfect for both, it's fast, light and small and the price is great.
