Too late to buy a nexus 7 ?

i know the nexus 7 only came out in june but do you think its to late to buy one because im thinking of grabing one tomorrow or should i wait till the next one comes out :/ ? any input would be appriciated

I would get one now, after all it hasn't been out for long. I would buy one now and enjoy what there is to offer at the present, if you keep waiting for the next piece of hardware you'll never enjoy and appreciate the current technology, and you can always sell it when the "next Nexus 7" is released.

The N7 is an excellent 7" tablet IMO. I'm extremely happy with it, and so is my gf's son who got one for his birthday.

I just picked one up about 2 weeks ago and I have zero regrets. It's a beast that handles anything I throw at it.

The only question to ask is Do you get 32gb or the 16gb.. Or WiFi or 3g if available where you are.

I went 16GB wifi because I have a 32 GB phone if I need it. However, Gamestop had a $50 off deal and there was only one 16GB available. Might need to go 32 regardless. Good buy though, I just got mine a couple days ago. I don't need a huge tablet, I wanted more of a reader and this blows the Kindle away.

WOW . Can you tell me how you got it to do the dishes and wash your delicate's . Mine Does not Like water..
OP Get the tablet you will not regret . But i recommend getting the 32 gb.. Get the gsm one if you can not tether it to your phone. other wise the wifi would be fine.. its what i have .. DO NOT LOOK BACK OR WAIT. the next best thing is the Nexus line..

Thanks everyone for being so help full looks like I'm going to pick one up in a few hours

You most definitely won't be sorry. I think if anything you were smart to wait since the 32gb was release and the 16 gb was dropped to $199.99.
A new nexus tablet probably won't come out at least for another 7 months anyway. Just enjoy the hell out of it.

I think you should go for a Wifi version if you already have a phone.
Since the next-gen Nexus is no way to come out soon, and new version changes nothing in performance but has 3g and more storage capacity, and the price of nexus 7 16gb wifi dropped. I think Nexus 7 16gb is the optimized choice atm.

I've had several devices, a few tablets. This device is flawless. I love it. I'm a little late to the party as well, but it doesn't matter, this device is awesome. Good luck and enjoy.

Getting Nexus 4

Hi,
Im currently using note 2. And I'm getting tired of it I think I'm getting nexus 4 instead
Will the nexus 4 receive android 5 ?
I heard some rumours about Google making new flagship phone for Android 5.0
Thanks in advance

Nexus devices will always receive the newest android version for a while. So expect the nexus 4 to get upcoming versions. As for the x phone, its up to you. I just got my nexus last Friday and very happy with it

Is your galaxy note 2 rooted ?... I mean if you want a Nexus we can trade x) lol

I believe the GNote 2 is also getting 5.0 but it's going to be much later than Nexus devices. Lol
What is it that you're tired of ? Is it the huge screen size of the GNote ? The specs on the GNote are pretty great imo.

Maybe in benchmark tests but not in real life when you debloated the phone. Better battery life. More storage and S pen off course.

+1 and you have the choice of touch wiz or aosp on the N4 it's just aosp... Sometimes I get bored and wish I could get a skin like sense or touch wiz they've both really improved throughout these years and they're optimizations help the android experience!

About the nexus 4?

Would it be smarter for me to order the nexus 4 or just get the s4? Can any of you give me some of your input on the nexus 4 since you've had yours? Are you pleased with it or do you sometimes regret your decision on getting the nexus 4? One more thing, right now I have the s3 and is no 4g really that much of a dealbreker?

Do a search as this question has been asked quite a few times....but in a nutshell if you prefer vanilla over bloatware, great dev support and the latest updates as soon they are released then get a nexus....can't really speak on the s4. Hope it helps..

Dude the S4 is so crippled and packed with 7GB of OS and mostly bloatware that you have too root it and strip down all the not needed apps and widgets. I had all the Galaxy devices but i`am gona skip the S4. The Nexus 4 is realy a breath of fresh air and 50% cheaper. I had the S3 too but wouldnt trade my N4 for one.

Thanks for the response. If I was to get the 8 gb nexus 4,how much of that is formatted before I get it. How about the 16 gb?

I have the 16Gb for a few dollars more, 8 GB is a bit to small for me personaly. About 3 GB is for the OS so 12,8 GB remains for the user. On the 8GB one you have 4,8 GB left.

Don't order yet.....wait until I/o on may 15 , you may see new phone or nexus 4 upgrade..

Ok. No update to the N4, I just went from the n4 to the ONE. it's not worth the $300 difference.
Tapatalk and some apps other is actually slower. The screen is nicer but the camera might actually be worse. It camera is soft under certain conditions and very poor lens flaring.

Moto x or Note 2 for upgrade

Hi Note 2 users. My upgrade is coming in about 3 months. What would you think would be a better upgrade for the next 2 years, moto x or note 2. I currently have the nexus s 4g so I am on sprint for fyi. I like the s-pen and the size of the note but I like some of the features of the moto x. Please help me decide. Thank you.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Well I guess it depends if you want a bigger screen, a bigger processor, a bigger battery, upgradeable memory and an s pen?
If you do then it's the note 2 looks a bit of a no brainer to me?

Note 3

How long does the note 2 battery usually last for? And I can't afford the note 3.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

5-6 hours screen on time with 90-120 mins voice call on mixture of 2G + 3G + Wifi Connectivity. No other smart phone with so many features can beat that.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I get about 2-3 hours of screen on time (due to signal strength), with a good amount of calls and always syncing data. Battery life on the Note 2 is still going to be better though.
The Moto X is newer, and although it's dual core processing, it's got a very good processor so I'd say it's more or less the same as the note 2 in processing power. But take that with a grain of salt as I haven't had the chance to play with the Moto X. The S-Pen is very useful. The Moto X for me is too small. But the ergonomics look great! Samsung has been updating their older phones for a while (even though slowly) so that's a point in their favor. Who knows how long Motorola will update the X, probably a while since they're market is the USA and raving about how great it is and how it's made there.
I can go on and on... but ... In the end, it's up to you! Which do you like more? I love my Note 2, and I'll upgrade to either the Note 3 or the Z1. I can't consider the Moto X due to the screen size. But they're both VERY capable phones and very good phones!

With all I have heard so far. I think I'm sold on the note 2. It has great battery and I like the size more than the moto x even though my phone right now is only 4inches.

I get a day of heavy use. My old phones, evo3d and hd2, would last about 4 hours with the same usage.
Price dependant I don't think you can beat the note 2. Once you've bought it post back with your thoughts

Usually 1 year increments are not worth it.
Is the Nexus 5 an upgrade? Yes it has a better camera, better processor, etc. However, the Nexus 4 isn't a bad phone and is running the latest version of Android.
