I want to be a 7" tab for gaming and watching videos. Is tab 2 a good buy ? Because nexus 7 costs almost double than tab 2 in my country.
Or should I go with nexus 7, it is worth the price?
I am really confused
The gtab7" is a decent tab. I have the 10.1" and like it a lot. If I were to buy a 7"tab though, I would buy the nexus (probably the new updated version) The gtab2 7" is selling in the US for around $170. The current nexus 7 16gb is going for around $200 and $250 for 32gb. So for me the current version nexus 7 would Be the best option as far as price goes.

Here tab2 16gb costs $160 and nexus 7 $280. That's why i was confused. Is nexus 7 worth extra $120?

Spec wise, the nexus 7 is the faster device and will get newer versions of android faster, so if those are the end all be all then is the extra 120 worth that to you, but also remember the nexus 7 (like the entire nexus line) lacks a microsd card slot, so if that is important to you then you can just take the nexus 7 off your list of possibles.

I think it's the best 7 inch tablet out there. I'm very satisfied with my n7. But I guess you should wait a bit for the new version. It maybe the note 8.0.

I agree totally. I love the N7 but the N8 should be coming along soon so it might be worth the wait.
There is an option to buy a refurbished unit for $140 for a few hours. This is the 8 gig version though.

the 2nd gen nexus 4 is called nexus 5
Reasons : best device at that time with best cpu, best ram etc, at the cheapest price with perfect screen size and res, latest updates and lots of development.
Most of the above reasons are still true
No, the Nexus 4 doesn't have any "generations" so to speak.
But there are a few different revisions. Like Rev 10, 11, 12, 13.
Look here:

But they're all the same phone really, just minor improvements.

oh, thanks for your info, that's all hehe.. im glad to hear it
I got it two weeks ago because my iPhone broke a month back and I needed a phone that would be cheap. Lo and behold I found mine mint condition for only 240$ on craigslist. Before my iPhone I used an inspire 4g which was pretty good. The hardware on this is pretty good for only 230$. The nexus 5 looked pretty good but seemed to have a lot of launch issues and it didn't have any features I'd need to pay the extra money for. That said I'll probably get a nexus 5 when it becomes cheaper too.

that's why I choose N4. here in philippines have a big price difference in N4 and N5
Hi guys/gals,
I can pick up n7 for £179 but is it worth waiting for n8?
I know price will be 300 or thereabouts as screen increase but would the extra cpu and ram and maybe resolution make it worth it for 1" bigger screen?
Thanks
There is no reason for waiting for N8,since it's just a rumour d no official word on it. A new Nexus device probably launch with a new version of android & expect it around June or July. So waiting for N8 may be worthless.
Still Nexus 7 2013 is an awesome device & you will love your new purchase. E179 is an awesome deal & you should definitely grab it
Nexus 7 (2013) with stock AOSP ROM(4.4.2), FRANCO Kernel (r12)

More than the extra inch in screen size, something worth the wait could be the possible change in the aspect ratio if they will move from 16:10 to 3:2. However this change isn't confirmed and so it simply depends on your current needs. July is 5 months away from now. If the market price will be higher than all the previous launch prices for N tablets, the SoC could even be something nice and new like the Snapdragon 805 and so worth the wait.
Yeah SoC upgrade will be worth it.
My only not sure area is as I already have a Asus TF300T (yes it is a slow hog) I can still use it for videos etc while at home fine. I just need something portable for trains so dont want to spend over £200 on that as already have 10" tab. So the fact that the N8 if made wont be same price as N7 at launch I doubt I can spend that much.
Thanks guys
Only thing that would be worth the wait in my opinion is if:
# they add a digitizer for pen input
# possibly a more efficient battery (not necessarily bigger)
# 64 bit chip with the necessary RAM upgrades to see the actual boosts in performance
The Nexus 7 2013 still flies as it is. I doubt there will be pen input and 64 bit tablets at the moment still only see around 2 GB of RAM.
I'd go with the Nexus 7. Just my 2 ¢ents!

I bought it
£179 for a N7 is good I think. Doubt N8 will drop to that price less then a year of release!
If the next nexus is made by ASUS, I'm not buying it. I'll switch to LG or Samsung. Both my nexus 7s from 2012 and 2013 have had frustrating touch screen issues that eventually make me not want to use them for anything but reading books.
Which one u bought. ?16g?

I personally love the form factor of the N7. I use this on the go sometimes. The form factor is small enough I slip this into pocket and use it like I would a phablet(minus calling and SMS) these days hangouts and Facebook suffice. I tether my N5 to this bad boy since I have free 2.5 of tethering

I was planning on waiting but I got such a good deal on a Nexus 7 32gb last week that I couldn't pass it up ($115 for a open box 32gb one). I might consider switching to the Nexus 8 if the specs are nice enough though.

I would imagine that a gently used 32gb Nexus 7 2nd gen would sell for more than $100 even after the Nexus 8 is announced.
But anyways, yes you make a valid point and that is what I was suggesting in my prior post. Very interested to see nexus 8 though. I will probably be content though.
Agreed. After returning N7 fhd in July, got a much better one in Nov. but still interested in the N8 if, indeed, one comes to fruition.

I was thinking the same thing but I'm just going to get a nexus 7 2013 now and worry about the 8 later if it is indeed a beast in specs and good price point.

Nexus 8 interesting but depend who will manufacturing this Model, I had enough with sh*t Asus.
I was thinking about the same thing but grabbed the Nexus 7. I really like it a lot and it's amazing how much faster it is than the previous Nexus 7. I only got the 16GB but it's more than enough for me.
R U sure there is still N8?

Still just a rumor, but most expect a new N10 and a N8.
Wal-Mart in my area has the Nexus 10 reduced to $350.00. I'm thinking about another tablet because I haven't purchased one in a while and want to upgrade. I was just curious if any of you think thats a good buy? I have never even played with a Nexus 10 is the only reason I ask.
I recently bought brand new, 32gb on ebay for $300. Still one of the best tablets available.

Hi,
Nexus 10 is still an amazing tablet, in the Best Tablets of 2013 by MKBHD he said that he's favorite is still Nexus 10! Here's the link: Top 5 Tablets (Early 2014) Collab!: http://youtu.be/Rrm4isCQDkQ.
I don't have any complaints about my tablet, it performs really well, also has an stunning screen. For 300$ (eBay) or 350$ (in your area) I think it's a great deal . Also, maybe it's worth getting on Wal-Mart there, because if it's what I understood, you will get it the time you buy, so no waiting for shipping or paying for shipping.

I have been waiting for the nexus 9 for over a year and was very happy with the outcome my issue is that the price premium for the 32GB model is too much. I have attached a comparison of the nexus's, ipads and tab s's.
I originally completed the comparision to see how the conversion between $ and £ was working out, which apparently is about $1.25 per £. This is in line with the competition, and makes sense bearing in mind the UKs higher VAT. I have to note that the conversion for the 32gb model was not as good ($1.20), so I compared the storage premium.
The new IPads jump from 16gb to 64gb for the same price that the nexus 9 jumps from 16gb to 32gb. This means that the cost of each extra GB for the nexus 9 is $5/£5 , whereas the ipads are $2.10/£1.67, which is less than half the price.
I am really annoyed at google for doing this, no way is 16GB of extra storage worth £80, but as the tablet has no expandable storage, I will have to pay the extra. If for £80 the storage jumped to 64GB like the IPads I would be a lot happier.
What do you guys think of the price difference of the models? Do you think there is any chance of google dropping the 32GB models price to make it more in line with Apple (I didn't think I would ever say that apple gives better value than google but that is the case).
I really think Google gone mad on pricing the Nexus line up this year. Most of the people bought Nexus Devices just b'coz of the competitive pricing.

good pricing, and because of the price, last years chips. to my understanding, the new devices use the new chips and if we don't get the annoying screen issues plaguing the N7.2 , will be worth it. I've already told them to take my money, even though I have very little of it, and swore I would not get one so soon due to the issue I have with my N7.2

a comparison of just ram specs alone is not enough. its like comparing cars just based on their trunk space alone . toss in chip (engine) and battery (gas tank) and a few other specs to make the comparison more realistic.

I know that the tablets all have different features. This was not meant to be a comparision of which tablet is the best value, I was just demonstrating how google has completely overpriced the 32GB model compared to the competition of which the IPad is the major one. The main point was the nexus 9 is the same price as the IPad mini 3 in the UK for the 16GB models but you can get the 64GB IPad mini 3 for the same price of the 32GB nexus 9.
So google should either bump the storage of the 32GB nexus 9 up to 64GB with no price increase or should knock £30-40 off the price to be more inline with its competitors. I have noticed that the price premium for the extra storage is not as much in the USA where the nexus 9 32GB is $20 cheaper than the IPad mini 3 64GB. I do not understand how there is $20 difference in the USA and no price difference in the UK.

The Nexus 9, specifications wise is meant to compete with the iPad Air 2. For an extra $80, you got to 32 GB from 16 GB while on the iPad Air 2, you go to 64GB from 16GB, but the base price starts at $100 more. The selling point over the Fire HDX, is accessibility and freedom.
I didn't think of looking at amazon.
So apple, samsung and amazon all charge $50 for a storage increase from 16GB to 32GB, whereas google is charging $80.
I am very disappointed in google for this, why did they not do the same as everyone else and charge $50 for the storage increase, which would have made the 32GB nexus 9 $449.
