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.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

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.

Wont Believe what happened paid for a 16gb version and they gave my a 32GB one so happy only cost me $244 (In Australia)

[Q] Missed Nexus 4 in Canada again! What should I do?

OK so I was at work and missed the chance to get the nexus 4 again! Supposedly gonna take 7-8 weeks now to ship according to mobilesyrup. NOw if I do get the chance to get the Nexus 4 again in a couple weeks, I will recieve it in March or Feb. My question is that is it worth it to get a November phone in Feb? Now I have a **** lg xenon and gossip which I could last out till next year for the Nexus 5, or I might get the s4. Should I wait?
What is expected from Nexus 5 and S4
-1080p screen
-10-12mp camera
-2ghz processor estimate
-2gb ram or maybe 2.5-3gb
-5inch screen
-Quad core maybe more?
Overall I think the smartphone as we know it is going through a transition phase so should I wait? I don't have enough money to get a new phone every year like some people. I buy a phone for 2-3 years. Will I be stuck with old technology with this phone?
-WHAT THE FUUDGE SHOULD I DOOO????

Mod please move to q&a if you think that is were it should be!

You're asking us for advice to speculate on a phone that is unreleased (better yet, a year away)?
Yes, get the Nexus 5. Historically, a newer Nexus is better than an older Nexus. Might need confirmation on that though.

I was going to say nexus note. The nexus version of the galaxy note that could be soon.

Only you can answer the question of whether you should wait. In Feb the nexus 4 will still be a great phone. Is only 3 months old on 2/13. You seem to think your current phone will last to next November for nexus 5. If you think that just wait.
In the end you have to use the device, no one can tell you what to like or what works for you. My wife thinks I'm insane buying a new phone every year. I don't, I like upgrading to the new nexus or whatever the new stock android experience is. Been that way since g1. Just what I like. Others will say go buy a note 2. Since this is the nexus forum you'll find no shortage of posts about how great the nexus 4 is.
Oh, please stop bumping the thread, it's annoying.

Nexus 4-5

I will get my nexus 4 in summer, maybe may or June, so should I wait for the n5 or just stick with the n4 ?
And isn't the hardware on the n4 is going to do great handling any apps or games without any problems for a few years ? I mean it's the best out there I think...
1 last thing what about the back glass cover does it crack easily? Even if I bought a grab or sth?

Give him a break guys, he's using the xda app and obviously there isn't a search button. And it would have been easier to just answer him than try to be a mean mum.
To OP: You wouldn't regret getting a Nexus 4 mate. The hardware would undoubtedly be outdated in a few years, but it certainly won't fall behind by that much. And you wouldn't feel too far behind from new android versions since this is a nexus.
The glass I think is fragile but putting a case on the back would definitely protect it. But temperature changes (sudden ones) are rumored to affect the glass and cause them to spontaneously break without producing splinters. Based on the data though, one can assume that only a few units are affected by this condition (mine too, unfortunately )
Anyways, it's your decision. If you think you can wait, then get the 5, but if your hands are itchy and want to get a sexy device, get the n4
In my opinion though, wait till june. If the nexus 5 launches and you don't like it, then get the 4, if you do though, then obviously get the nexus 5.

It's already announced with the specs on phone arena and other sites I can Google it and see for yourself; tegra 4, full hd display, 2gb ram and the price omg
And the specs are so promising, that's the reason why i made this thread.

I'd say hold out for the N5 if it were to be released around May. I doubt that since the N4 was released just a few months ago. Better yet, wait for that Moto X phone..

Exactly and also it mentions tegra 4? That outdated piece of garbage. Qualcomm is currently the best chip. Agreed tegra has better gaming performance but overall Qualcomm blows away tegra.
Anyway there won't be another nexus coming till October. May be they will have a Moto X phone or something but not nexus. That happens once a year during holidays.

First time I don't feel like getting a new phone...

I usually switch phones every 4 months but since I got my nexus 4 I do not feel like getting rid of the nexus 4. Anybody else feels the same out there?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I do too. Except for the limited battery capacity, the phone feels great. You get to do what you like with it, no oem restrictions and always the first to get software updates.

I too am that type of person but I'm really enjoying the nexus!

Me too! I plan on getting a new one in 2-3 years but only if there'll be another amazing Nexus available

Pretty much this. I'll probably just stick with whatever the latest Nexus is.

Unfortunately I don't feel the same way. This HTC One is calling me and I must get it.

i do... abit for the Z

The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.

Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched

From HTC One S to Oppo Find 5

heyhey community,
i was never really much interested in no-name smartphone producer, but i think i just got in love with the oppo find 5.. i'm using a HOS at the moment and i am thinking of switching to the find 5. could you guys tell me your experiences with the find 5, if you regret buying this phone and which phone you were using before?
thanks in advance

i personally love the phone. im currently on CM10 and i have been getting great battery life out of the phone. im constantly streaming music with it and getting 13+ hours out of it.
i havent been running a case on it and have dropped it a few times with no damage at all.
im coming from a Galaxy note and Nexus 4 and ive been using less and less of those devices lately. i say go for it!

thanks for your answer!
i was first thinking about waiting for the soon releasing nexus 4 in white or the nexus 5, but i think i should try something different i also like robust smartphones, not like these polycarbonat or glass ones..
i think i am going to get the find 5 soon

Until OppO get their Find 5 ROM sorted I would put my money elsewhere. Having to reboot 4-5 times a day due to various instabilities. It doesnt like using other chargers, data connection is shoddy. OppO inform that they will release stable ROMs every 2-3 months. I can't use my phone for 2-3 months like this.
For another 100 bucks I could have got a Sony Xperia Z however I'm now stuck with a under performing 500 dollar phone. It would have been easier to throw it in the river if it was 200-300 dollars.
Hardware good.

From everything I have read they have a few bugs, but they are working on them. This is why they update bi weekly. I have a couple friends with this phone that love it. They moved from the note 2 to the oppo...which is what I'm doing next week.
All the positive reviews outweigh the negative ones about this device. Plus, the dev community is making the phone even better. I hear GREAT THINGS about CM on this device.
Sent from The Bacon Pope's Galaxy Note 2

The oppo is a great phone. Specs are great as well as build quality. Yes....the software needs some work, but they're constantly pushing out updates and firefly is hopefully right around the corner. That being said, I'm running CM right now and the phone is butter....no issues whatsoever and even though I still have my Note 2, this has become my daily driver. I'm really happy with my purchase

the bad thing is that noone of my friends has this phone and that you can only buy it from the official homepage.. i would really like to test it somehow..
could you guys tell me how the mobile data connection is? i am really scared of the steal structure :/
if only the software is bad (and only at the moment) but the hardware is powerfull, i dont really care. software can be fixed :thumbup:

Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I think Oppo is very great phone. And specification hardware is high end but not very expensive. You must try it to use from you friend which using this Oppo Find 5. And you can find the different from other phone.
And you right about software. As long as the developer want make great phone, they must repair the software and also make something different application to support the phone
Sent from my X909 using xda premium

The Find 5 is a nice phone. I came from the Xperia T, which I loved as well. You're really okay with either, since they are both very development friendly.
If you do pick the find, expect to use 3rd party apps for some things, the stock ROM is a bit green on functionality. If you like CM, it runs well on the Find for sure.
If you are impatient and can't stand some minor bugs, then go for the Sony (which probably has its own bugs).
I am a heavy business user, and have had a few issues, but nothing that ruins the experience. The camera is bad all around ATM, but I don't use that much.
Sent from my Find5 using Tapatalk 2

i really think software is not a point to matter about this phone unless the hardware can handle everything.. the only think i gonna miss is the awesome sense-camera, but clean android like in cm is awesome too.. thanks guys for your statements
