The new google nexus tablet 7"

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_16gb
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.

Do you know if it has a memory card slot?
16gb will go in a flash...

I think I heard that there's not. It's a bummer for me; with so many new phones dropping microSD support, I was hoping to use my 32 GB microSD on the tablet.

Ohh, so no extra memory at all?
I wish i could use my memory card too

I feel you...i have been literally checking daily on rumors the past few months on this tablet. Im very turned off by the lack of SD.
I imagined Google would do this in the spirit of the GNex and NS...im wondering if the Asus version due in Aug. will have expandable memory

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.

So that means 200$ price not include tax, shipping fee ?

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.

Who will be gettin the TF700 ?

Should be in stores July 16th. Amazon is offering up to $250 credit for TF101 in good condition ... tempting.
Hoping Microcenter near me will have one in stock to play with, see if it is that much better than the TF101 (2 of which) I have

I have decided that since I already have two 10" tf101s, I really want to get the Nexus 7 right now to replace my tf101 as my "on-the-go" tablet.
I read the iconia 700 review, and it seems the Tegra3 is still a bit weak for driving the 1920x1200 screen as smoothly as the 1280x800 tablets.. so I will hold off on getting a new 10" tablet until the next round of 1920x1200 (or maybe 2560x1600??) comes out with beefier GPUs. I'd gladly take one with the new MALI405 GPU and a Cortex A15 based CPU.

I want one but can't afford it

I really want one, but I have the same concerns about the GPU. There is a reason why Apple (not that I like Apple) is using dual core, instead of quad, with a huge GPU in their new tablet. I was not at all impressed with the Tegra 2 GPU, and while the the Tegra 3 is better, it's not good enough to push that high resolution. Since the Tegra 4 will both have new CPU and GPU architecture, I may just wait. I'm only buying the Tf700 for the resolution, and I'll need a good GPU to push that.

I like hi-tech stuffs and have no problem affording the TF700. Currently having 1GTablet, 2x TF101s, 1x Nook Color, 1x Galaxy Player 4. I have enough Android fun ! I am waiting to try the next Asus Windows RT device.
My favorite TF101 has satisfied all my real needs.

I'll be selling my TF101 for the Nexus 7, I want to get a good taste of google-driven goodness for once, and this one actually looks like something I'd buy, unlike the earlier Nexus devices.

My Nexus 7 is on order. Originally I was gong to get the 700 and eBay my TF101, but decided to keep the TF and get a N7. Tegra 3 just doesn't impress me enough especially when combined with the high resolution of the 700's screen, to replace my TF.

Are you still waiting for it from Play? I just went to Sam's club and bought mine yesterday. I'm going to give the one I ordered from the play store to my sister (When it comes). Google really has a problem shipping devices. I was mad when I found out GameStop and Sam's Club was selling the tablet before Play Store shipped theirs.

Yes, I ordered from the Play Store and I'm waiting. But I ordered it after the release, not a pre-order. It's not a big deal. I'm not in a hurry. I own 2 other tablets, and 4 PC's. The N7 is just another toy.

FYI - I was already able to order both the TF700 and the TF700 dock from a big name retailer! Won't be delivered until Wednesday though. Yes - I know that it will be officially released on Monday, but...

Well people selling their 101, hit me up. I'm in the market for one.
ReZound

I WISH I was gonna buy the TF700... I'm lucky enough as it is to have this TF101. I've only had it for a couple months and I was honestly kind of surprised it still had such a large userbase still, as in my mind it seems pretty low powered (though I may be incorrect...)

Elocity A7-004 for 74.98 shipped with free case

1saleaday has dropped they price of the tablet down to 74.98 shipped. Better than the 89.99 its been running for the past two months.
Maybe with the price this low some developers would pick one up and start working on ICS or JB.
I remember when the nextbook 7 at biglots was 99.99 and every one jumped on it and its not half the tablet the elocity is.

Tempting... I have the original A7 (not the + model) -- I haven't quite been able to determine what the difference is between the two models though.
Any pointers on where to look (or what's different)?

There are 2 MAJOR differences.
1. Resolution bumped from 800x480 to 1024x600
2. True multi-touch (4 points)
The only downside that I can reference is the development for the tablet. With the type of hardware its pretty pitiful that we are stuck with Froyo.
However, from what I have read over @ tabletroms.com someone will be doing some development.

Hi guys! I'm looking for a good supplier of factory unlocked Galaxy S4 (Exynos 5) (probably SGH-I9500) from any country. Europe preferred.
Please leave your suggestions below. Thanks in advance.

Does the Octa really worths so much for you. Compare the phones before choosing. Getting Octa you probably will pay $100 more than Snapdragon for almost no differences.

Including FedEx 2-day shipping the lowest cost is from Negri, but Best Buy offer cheaper, although limited+bloated crap, operator versions.

4 x A15 (2.2GHz MAX whitesheet)
4 x A7 (1.6GHz MAX whitesheet)
Kernel 3.9 (Linaro Patches should become core components) allowing for native HMP. User configurable XULV for battery (run on one A7 ...) or XHP (run on all 8 cpus) or anything in between.
that $100 is an investment in a ceiling that has me personally geekin out. I cant convince you personally, but if Android 5.0 or 5.1 makes the jump to 3.8, its possible to patch the kernel and reap the benefits. someone would have to work their tail off on an AOSP and lose all the customizations to android by samsung, but raw potential, has the 600 way short for a sheer value proposition, increased usability over time.
ps: plus they gave EVERYONE ddr3 ... no one mentions this in the comparisons to the one, i believe however that the Z/ZL also have ddr3 sony made that a point of emphasis. always the plastic ... but no one says anything about the Ones slow ram

Thanks for the info shadym1lkman! You mean that with kernel 3.9 we'll be able to use the 8 cores simultaneoulsy?
What about the cooling? I've been having overheating issues since Galaxy S2...

Ty for the info shadym1lkman. But as cormogram said, I think that the phone will melt in your hand. On the other side, I can buy other phone or wait for Tegra or something else, but I like Samsung features. I would like to lose them.
Related with the ram, both version have LPPDDR3, but as I read, in Octa is at 800Mhz, which makes it work at 12.8gb/s, a bit more faster than the S600. But right now, the difference is insignificant

Rumoured Priv Specifications

Some rumours from here,
http://www.smartphoneandprice.com/b...-android-smartphone-full-specs-and-price.html
Can't comment on the accuracy though.
5.4" QHD Display, 2560x1440
18MP Rear facing camera
Snapdragon 808 CPU
3GB RAM
32GB internal storage, expandable via microSD
3560mAh battery
£250/$350/€320
If true, at that price I'm hugely tempted to move from my Xperia Z2.

While the specs are pretty decent, one of the other rumors Ive heard is that its coming with Lollipop. If I have a phone coming out in the next month or two, I want it to have Marshmallow or an absolute guaranteed timeframe of being upgraded. Granted, I am big on running ROM's but will the bootloader be unlocked to do so? And if so, how many developers will really jump on this phone to work on it?

From what I hear it ships with 5.1.1.
Marshmallow isn't even out yet is it? And is likely to be buggy are launch anyway. I doubt it'll be stable until towards the end of Q1 2016 so I don't think I'd want it shipping on a phone out this year.

That price looks way too low, and the battery rumors have been all over the place. Remember, that curved screens isn't cheap.

There is no chance of it being £250 - absolutely none. If you have followed BBRY as long as I have - they still think they can charge premium prices (partly why their devices bomb) and even after shedding a lot of staff their cost base would not support that - think at least £400.

Yep, I agree. £400-£450 band is really buyable.
We don't know how BB places this phone on the market. Premium Business Device or Hi-End Consumer Phone ? Neither both, It won't be cheeper than S6 or Note 5 because build quality looks good and and additional hardware always cost more.

assuming that's about $500, that's about what I was thinking. It will be flagship priced, on the lower end, so $499 sounds like a sweet spot for Premium device that is still affordable. BB's most expensive phone is the Silver Passport, and that's $550, so I don't see it exceeding $599 to remain competitive. I saw a "leak" online somewhere from a Toronto channel that claims it will be 800 CAD, which is roughly $606.

At that kind of price Blackberry are pricing themselves out of the market really. If they want to shift units they're going to have to keep the price low when going up against other Android handsets.

I dont know if this was brought up or anything but does anyone know if this might have Qi(wireless) charging?

That's a good question. I've heard absolutely nothing about how it charges. We don't even know if it has fast charging either. Hopefully it has both.

I had a series of BB for 10 years. I miss the keyboard. I will have to try one of these and if they are close to the discussed price range will buy one. It looks like a large phone, however.

Sooo new spec sheets list the front cam as only 2 MP?? Is this an error or was the 5 MP rumor too good to be true? Not a deal breaker, but man, will THAT be disappointing. Awesome 18 MP Schneider Kreuznach lens on the back and... a camera from like 2005 on the front.

It's officially time, guys! Pre orders are LIVE!
http://us.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-priv/buy.html
$699 for the U.S. version. The front cam is 2 MP, but has a f/2.9" aperture with 1.75 micron pixels. I'm no camera buff, but that sounds good? Also, NFC confirmed, Fast charging confirmed, wireless charging confirmed... No compromises aside from the battery being non removable. Releases November 6. Still no word on whether the carriers will sell them directly.

I have no idea why they would remove wireless charging on all the models except for the US, as the specs stand. They did spend the money to test them in the lab, then last minute pull it all out?
