Perhaps to drive more people to the Google Play store in hopes of being able to upsell the buyer on media purchases, extended warranty, and accessories that may otherwise not be available at retail stores.
To make people who want to buy it on the day buy the more expensive model.

Better profit margin is my bet.Same reason they only had the 16gb N7 at retail stores and sold the 8gb through the playstore.I doubt if there is much money to be made on the cheaper units. jmo
Because that's the only one I'll buy

Yeah better profit in the 32GB one, cos the cost of the extra 16GB is pence to google but $100 (£80) to us, that means there's quite a bit of profit to get from it.
Even tho google pays under ten dollars per 16gb added.

The fact that there is no expandable memory really makes me want to flying crotch punch the designers of this thing in that aspect. I mean really no SD card slot? That is a pure crappy greedy money grabbing asshole thing to do on their part. Only saving grace is you can probably just use a usb stick or external drive to put all your media on but that is kind of crappy when a tablet is suppossed to be mobile and quick. Might as well get a laptop if you're going to be toting around external drives and junk.
I bet it's the profit margin on the 16g. Wallyworld wants to make some coin when they sell that n10. Googly is I like sure we can cut you in but only on the 32GB. If the cost to produce the unit is 350 and their selling it for 399 they can't cut wallyworld in without taking a shot to the groin. Think about the box it's in and the shipping to get the unit from where ever to where ever that all costs coin. But who knows what's really going on this is just my conspiracy theory.

The price of this annoys me for the storage at 16gb. and the fact there is no 64gb option. with a super high resolution display, HD pictures and videos and optimized apps take up a lot more space. 16gb isn't enough 32 is barely enough. Such a high spec device needs a 64gb option,google really makes some silly decisions.

I agree that not having a slot is FUBAR, but you need to remember Google's emphasis on cloud services, and that the Nexus devices are designed to promote those. It's not an optimal solution, buy you can pick up an OTG cable for $2 and a 32G micro flash drive for ~$20. Keep big media files (e.g., movie rips) on the flash drive. It'll work well enough.
Well Apple doesn't offer expansion slots either on their devices and no one has an issue with it. There are external HDD that pair via WiFi (Kingston) and of course dongles you an use storage as well. No they are not great alternatives but they are alternatives none the less. I would rather have microSDHC or 64GB from Google but I would rather live with 32GB and sell my iPad more (which I just posted on eBay, 4 months old and saying see ya).
I know about the expansion cables and whatnot... i just would rather have a SD card slot and not have to worry about a dongle hanging off. And what about those of us who travel all over the place and can't get cloud services overseas when not on wifi? Thanks alot Google... asshats... Makes me want to buy an Infinity if I didn't keep hearing about the OS issues.
I'm the same way. I don't necessarily want to fully depends on cloud services. The nexus 10 should have a lot more storage space and the nexus 7 should have had a 64GB option right off the bat.
I'm also disappointed at the lack of a SD card slot. When I'm at the gym, am I supposed to bring a USB drive and dongle in with me? Might as well just bring in my desktop computer and set up shop.

At a place like Walmart, I would think they would want to push the cheaper model, and save the expensive one for online and actual electronic stores.

available for pre order in uk! @ £199,,google playstore
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMQdfGFK5XQ
As the name suggests, the Google Nexus 7 features a 7" IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The tablet is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 chip with 1GB of RAM and 12 core ultra-low voltage nVidia GeForce GPU.
And despite the capable hardware, Google managed to keep the price of the Nexus 7 impressively low. The slate will come in 8GB and 16GB flavors, which will retail for $199 and $249 respectively.
The Google Nexus 7 comes with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity and Google Wallet preinstalled. Sadly, there isn’t a 3G model available, but obviously keeping the price as low as possible was key here. That's also the reason there isn't a camera at the back, and only a 1.2MP front-facing snapper. However, it's capable of shooting 720p video, so it's not all bad.
Measuring 198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm the 7-incher weighs in at 340 grams which is respectful for its size. The Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 will be having a hard time indeed.
The Google Nexus 7 is already available for pre-order in UK, US, Canada and Australia and should ship in mid July. You can follow this link to book your Nexus 7 unit.

i ordered one... for the price, IDGAF about storade space, i got the 16gb and it came to about 285 shipped. Thats an awesome price for hd screen, quad core processor, 12-core gpu, gps,etc. Im still amazed how they are profitable at that price. 16gb is more than enough for TRAVEL/ON THE GO. At home, you have FULL use of the cloud. On the go , I doubt you go through more than 16gb of media unless its a long trip and on long trips, u have wifi usually. I actually would have gotten the 8gb but figured 16gb is more desirable/will hold value longer. Be excited folks, i didnt think they would be able to do it. The sd slot was the BEST possible compromise, or would u have rathered to have sd but have a DUAL core, or 512mb of ram, or a 1000x600 screen or no gps etc.

The reason shipping isn't free is because Google is already taking a loss for these. I'm sure Bestbuy will have them, but will sell them for $230/$280 and you will have to force them to price match.

Someone with more tech knowledge than myself help me out here, and didn't see this posted before.
I know Google is pretty much selling close to cost, so what would be a decent value price point based on other tablets in your opinion?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I saw a detailed cost breakdown, from some website
Google is profiting like $50 bucks on the 8GB model and maybe $80 bucks profit on the 16GB model.
Its not like Sony who is lossing about $150 per every PS Vita sold.
In terms of what they're trying to do with this tablet, I'd say 200/250 is about right. If they made it more expensive, the less tech-knowledgeable people would settle for the kindle fire. They'll make the money back over time.
However, if the thing had a Micro SD card, I could see 25-50 bucks of a bump.
I guess I'm trying to say what could they charge and it still be considered competitive with others
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The only thing that comes close to this is the Fire, I'm sure Google could charge a nice premium for the better hardware. How much? Dunno...
$200/$250 is probably about as much as they can charge and have it be a big success. They needed to match the price of the Kindle Fire but still make it powerful enough for gaming.

It would cost under $1 to add it.
I will go ahead and buy the 16Gb version, but I agree with you that this is the one big miss on the device (likely intentional, G wants you in the cloud)
.
The Nexus 7 is superior to any $200 tablet available such as the Acer A110, Lenovo, Kindle Fire. So it's value is over $200.
It's a better tablet than the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, so it's value would be over $250.
Then there are the 7.7 AMOLED tablets from Samsung and Toshiba for about $450 to $500. Because of the slightly larger display AMOLED display, I'd say the Nexus 7 should fall below these in price.
I think it is probably not crazy to say if this wasn't sold by Google at cost, but by someone else for profit, it could easily be priced around $300 for 8GB and $350 for 16GB I think.
Has anyone found any evidence that there will actually be a 32gb or 64gb at launch? No one seems to be selling pre-orders for them... I really don't want another 16GB phone.

I'll be fine with a 16gb model. I understand people may desire more space, just not necessary for me though. A simple addition of my current 16gb card will be a perfect combo. I don't even have that much space used between my Flyer and it's SD card.
Do not think about 64GB. Cause of biz ( quantity + price ), Samsung will do not sell 64GB version at launch

He does. Unless you're going to help pay for it no one cares about your opinion on how much storage space someone's phone will have.
I will wait for the 64GB model. If one doesn't come to the US I will not get this phone. I will wait for something else.
For me, 16 gb model is enough though I understand that different people may have different needs. My music collection is even bigger than 60 gb but I don't need it all together at the same time in a phone. And I think it is economically more convenient to have several sd cards to swap (it is a Samsung, not an iphone nor a Htc) than to pay the excessive overprice for a 64 gb model.

I guess in a sense a lot of people would love to see a US version come out in a 32gb version. As for a 64gb version? Highly doubtful. Sure 16 gigs is enough for internal. But being able to swap out different cards when need be. Plus do you really need all 60 gigs worth of music on 1 phone? I get the whole variety thing but take what you want and possibly use Google Music if you are at work or on wifi. But I guess everyone wants what they want.

You have to consider not everyone has an unlimited data plan, and not everyone will get reception with the carriers that do. Some carriers throttle after a certain amount as well.
Personally I will load a lot of my daughters movies, and TV shows. A lot of places where I travel are almost bunker like and reception in general is bad inside the buildings. So more space the merrier for myself and my daughter.

The Galaxy Note 2 is one device. They have time to produce it. There is no difference between all the models. They can do a unified launch, but opted not to.
Back to the original question... any reference for 32/64Gb models in any country? Thanks.
I reserved my Note 2. Estimated delivery, Friday! During reservation, I told him that I really wanted a 64GB white one, but would settle for 32GB if it came down to it. He said don't count out 64GB just yet, it may be delivered that day.
We'll just have to wait and see. I am in Korea.

Yeah well if they don't have a larger size in Korea then there wont be one anywhere. Everything I've seen from every outlet only lists 16GB. The only solace that the US can take in a late launch is that MAYBE there will be larger versions available by then, but I doubt it. This is upsetting to me. I don't want to have to "settle" for the GS3, but I don't want to wait until March for a 64GB version.
With announcement of 16GB Nexus 7 and 32GB Nexus 7, do 8GB Nexus users feel cheated? I own a 8GB version and have found it to be inadequate for keeping all games together, forget about songs and videos. Though I made a wrong choice, today's discontinuation of 8GB model makes me feel cheated.
Do you too?
Yea. I mean that's the kind of risk you take being an early adopter, but I really feel I should of either just gotten a 16GB model, or waited. But then again my 8GB model is working just fine. I really wish Google would have some trade-in system to let me upgrade to a 16GB model at least, even if for a little price.
I wonder how long it will take to start seeing cool stuff for only 16/32GB models now...
Of course, it hasn't been long since they where out and this happened. And its not like added anything new other than the memory.
A upgrade like what happened with the kindle fire is ok. They changed a few things
But i exchanged mine for a 16gb today lol so im cool now
It did have some screen lift and even though it was passed the exchange time frame office Depot hooked me up. You just got to know how to talk to people

Depends on what you use your tablet for. Granted I bought a 16gb version on release, Sam's didn't have the 8gb option, but I still have 11 gigs of space available on mine. I use mine to browse the Web and do some random things for work, I have a 10" Acer Iconia for my Multimedia needs around the house. When I travel I tend to use Netflix to stream content, and or I can throw about 3 hours worth of shows on it to watch on a plane or whatever and still stay well under the 8 gig mark. If you wanted something for multimedia purposes then you should have purchased something with more memory, but if you use the tablet in the way it was built for 8gb should be plenty of space.

I will give Google $80~$100 more for a change my 16GB for 32GB + 3G with my all pleasure =.='

No. I chose the "8", I got the "8", and I paid for the "8". My choice all through. I could have waited and grabbed the "16" for the same price as it now turns out, but then I would have missed the pleasure I have had from it in the meantime. I would have felt far more cheated to have bought the "16" only to find only thirteen gigs useable.
Yes, I feel cheated, especially because I had my 8GB Nexus for only a month now. Sure, there's always such a risk but after such a short time?
Still, I made the right decision at the time.. 50 € for an additional 8 gigs is just plain ridiculous. And for the most part, the storage is sufficient for my needs which is browsing the web and gaming (except Bard's Tale with its whopping 3,35 GB - great game btw!). For everything else there's USB OTG with either a 32GB flash drive or a Transcend Storejet.
I would probably go for the 32GB Nexus now, though. The markup is still not justified, but more bearable for sure. I'd be willing to pay for it for not having to lug around external drives in the foreseeable future and be able to connect a battery pack while on the go.
I'd expect them to provide same attitude Apple made when they dropped the iPhone 2G with 4GB....
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_(original)
I should remind you early adaptors got store credit. and if Google continue offering 25$ I'd expect them to give credit to those who got their device price cut.
for the same price, former 8GB owners lost 8GB storage space while former 16GB owners lost 16GB storage space..
i would say 16GB owners got "cheated" more..
anyway its those kind of risks we took when buying an electronics product, just that this time it happened a bit too fast..

So true! I don't understand how people feel cheated...they made a decision based on the information at hand and found the 8 GB to be a good product and bought it. In the light of the recent HW upgrade and price drop, it would seem it was a bad decision....suck it up...I understand it feels unfair, but who said life is fair? Myself, I decided that 8 GB was not enough, and the 16 GB lacked 3G so I didn't want either of the options available....I investigated, and found the rumor about a 32 GB and a 3G version, and decided to wait. I'd rather wait for a while and get a product I'm 100% happy with, than settle for the next best thing, just because I wanna be "first"....
you're missing the point. Storage, while useful, is not that important, as long as the otg cables work. The HSPA+ though, is the most annoying omission. I would have paid $50 more for that if it had only been available. Somebody else said around here and I agree: I'd rather use up the tablet battery for 3G, and not my phone.
Also, didn't get $25 credit because I'm from the EU.

Myself, I decided that 8 GB was not enough, and the 16 GB lacked 3G so I didn't want either of the options available....I investigated, and found the rumor about a 32 GB and a 3G version, and decided to wait. I'd rather wait for a while and get a product I'm 100% happy with, than settle for the next best thing, just because I wanna be "first"....

Problem for some of us was that waiting was not an option. I bought my 16GB during a trip to the US, because to get it here would have cost me $400. I could have waited for the next better version, but by that logic I'd never have a phone - there's always something better out next year. Turned out ok though, because this way I don't get to swim with the sharks in Jersey. (would post URL, not allowed).
So I've got the first batch of 8gb N7s when it was released. Seeing how they don't make them no more I was thinking of possibly buying another N7 32gb (aren't they $199 now on sale?). But was thinking maybe just adding a couple hundred more dollars and getting the N10 instead.
I just don't know if either would be worth it though since I rarely ever leave the house and even more rarely leave the computer room =/. And I'm the only one in the house who would even know what to do with a N7 so plans of giving it as a present to a family member may be kinda slim.
What should I do?
I wouldn't upgrade unless you actually need the extra space for your device. If you were to get anything just go with a N10 so you have relatively different devices for potentially different day to day uses.

I sold my 8GB on eBay for $175 and then waited for one of those daily deals on there. Only paid $229 for the new 32GB but even if you buy one from the play store its still a good deal I believe.

The Nexus 7 16gb is $199 dollars and 32gb is $249. Unless you find them on sale somewhere online or local store.
If you did choose to buy a new Nexus 7 with more space. You could keep your old 8gb for parts if you would ever need them later.

It is really not a hard decision tree.
If you have no need for a tablet, keep what you have or sell it and get nothing else.
If your current tablet meets your needs, keep it and get nothing else.
If you need more storage, sell what you have and get either a 32GB N7 or N10, depending on which size you prefer.
There is also a 3G consideration in there which might be a factor - but I prefer tethering anyway.
I have been kind of thinking of upgrading mine to 32gb, I brought quite a few games and they are so huge, I can imagine next year my 16gb being taken up with 2-3 games.

Yea, some of the games for android can be huge that's for sure. The game called horn takes up 1.7gb of storage space.

I literally have 120MB left on my N7 8gb. Could see myself running into issues whenever a new 'hot' app is out or something. Maybe I'll just wait and get a N10.

Ever considered getting an OTG cable?
No not reallly. Basically lets you use an external hdd for storage right?
Personally I don't want a cable hanging off my portable device, I don't even like having it plugged in while using. Which is why, whenever possible, I get my electronics in 32GB version.
As for getting a nexus 10 as replacement, if you want a larger size tablet go for it, it all comes down to what YOU want out of a tablet.
