Impulse purchase. I have an amazing ereader, a galaxy s2, a laptop and pc.
I've been playing around with the nexus 7 now for almost a week. I have another week before I can return it with no questions asked. What else can this nexus 7 offer me? Should I keep it or return it?
What is everyone doing with their nexus 7 when you have an amazing phone handy?
I'm currently streaming videos online, browse a bit and play some games. I could do this all on my phone.... Right? What makes this more superior? (other than the obvious "bigger screen") why not get the nexus 10? An even bigger screen!
I'm open to ideas and I would love to hear them. I would love to keep this tablet if there's a very solid reason.
I find the 10 inch tabs too big to be truly portable. My tab 10.1 usually stays at home while I take my Nexus 7 out more. I have an s2 but find I'm using the 7 more so the S2 battery is lasting way longer. That in itself is enough reason for me to keep it

Hi,
Recently I bricked my TF300T, so using it is (IMHO) no longer an option, even if it were to be replaced.
So I'm now considering purchasing either the Nexus 10 or the Nexus 7, or if there's enough reason to wait, the next Nexus tablet.
How well do the two compare in quality?
For those of you unfamiliar with the TF300T, it has a 1.3 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3, 1 GB RAM, and I got the one with the 16 GB internal storage.
For cameras it has a 1.2 front facing camera, 8.0 rear camera. 720p screen.
I've used the cameras before, so I'm not exactly excited about losing one, if I go with the Nexus 7, so I'm leaning towards the Nexus 10 at the moment.
How powerful are the CPU&GPU in the N10?
I would like to be able to run Adobe flash applications, like Prezi, on it.
Is the high PPI display on it as amazing as Google says it is?
How long does the battery last when on stock? And how long on Cyanogenmod?
Is the 5 MP camera on the back alright? I mean, it isn't webcam quality, right?
Thanks!

The next Nexus tablet will simply be an update to the Nexus 7 model. It is due out in July and nothing but rumored specs right now until Google IO when specs become official.
I was in the same situation as you a week ago. I did a ton of research and bought a Nexus 10, and I owned a TF300 previously. Just do it. I'm very happy with the tablet and it's buttery smooth. I like the ipad screen a little better but as far as resolution goes the Nexus 10 is amazing.
Thanks for the information!
I sure am now wishing I purchased a Nexus 10 in the first place (it was either that or the TF300T when I was buying on November 24th).
Does anyone run a chroot on their Nexus 10?
How fast does it go?
I've owned both the tf300t and iPad retina and currently own the N10. I absolutely love the N10. Very fast, great battery life and screen. I went with it over the N7 because of screen resolution and faster processor.

Nexus 7 will be announced next month, so it's worth the wait. It should defiantly have a 1080p screen and a better chip. Snapdragon 600 is currently the rumor as Tegra won't be able to ship the same time and if it keeps the price of £200. It's worth the wait!
I have to say that the price of a used Nexus 7 is very appealing.
Because I'm kind of wanting one for school, I think I'll go with the N7.
Unless, of course, if there's a reason not to.

Nexus 10 is a great device but sometimes I wish I went with nexus 7 for its portability and it easier to hold. If those aren't issues for you I say go for it.
Hold out for supposed N7 successor to be announced at I/O?

I would also hold off for the next gen Nexus 7.
The Nexus 10 just doesn't have anywhere near the support or community the Nexus 7 has and I am willing to bet the next gen will be just as popular as the original N7 based on the potential price alone.
I have thought about ditching my N10 if the next gen N7 has a 1080P screen, micro HDMI port, and hopefully better audio.

+1 here. I wouldn't even come close to buying the Nexus 7 again now with a refresh supposedly around the corner.
Then again, I'll be purchasing the Nexus 10 in the next few days - I would personally probably still go for that myself. That's my own preference, though.
I have both, my 4 year old inherited the n7 and all I use is the n10. Unless you are a hobbit the size isn't an issue. Can't you do both? RMA and get the n10?
Is this still a good tablet to pick up? I'm wanting a tablet or a smartwatch, and I like the Nexus 9, but the 7 inch screen and great price are still pretty good. Even if it is discontinued, I still like it, and I would buy it new off eBay or Amazon. I know it has Lollipop too which is a plus and it's a developer Nexus device, so long after Lollipop it will have custom ROMs. Also I've also wanted a Nexus 7, but chose to buy a Nexus 5 over it. I love my Nexus 5, and plan on keeping it at least another year. The battery only concerns me about my phone, 3 hours SOT usually but I think the N7 has better battery? I'll be mostly gaming, reading, and videos on my tablet. A media device.
Do you still think it's worth picking one up?

I would Look at the N-Vidia Tablet. Much better for gaming and not Super Expensive.. or The nexus 7 2013 version. But with that said I still use my nexus 7 . I keep it on my purse for using for email GPS and Google plus while out and about. I wish it had a rear camera thou. I use it at home for xbmc remote. Ohh and i use it at home and away to view my home security cameras while traveling. For my Real work I use my Note 10.1 (2012 version).
Nobody can decide other then you. I Can tell you its either a bit slow on android 5. or there is bugs still in the os..
It's still a great device and I don't see any reason to buy a new tablet. But if I had to, I would probably pick something with more RAM since the N7 feels a bit laggy when I open large PDFs or many apps at once. And more memory would be nice, too. (I have the 16gb version)
EDIT: It's much faster with F2FS now.
If you're interested, I would be willing to sell my Nexus 7 (2012) 32 GB WiFi for $80 + shipping (US only). I bought it brand new in Dec. 2012, and have only used it at home, so it's in very good condition. I even have the original box it came in (plus the cable and charger).
I'm currently running KitKat 4.4.4, but I can upgrade it to Android 5 Lollipop before sending it out if you like.

Starting using it a little more and you will find out how decent it really is. You'll be taking that Nexus 7 2013 back and giving the five year old the Nexus 9.
Just wish I was wrong. :crying:

I also went from a Nexus 7 2013 to the Nexus 9 and aside from the beautiful screen it was initially a disappointment. Bigger device needed more ram which it didn't get and performance isn't as good as the older tablet.
BUT... I've been using an aosp based 7.1 rom for a few weeks now and the tablet is performing the best it had ever done. It's fast and its smooth and memory management seems more like it ought to be. There's really nothing better running near vanilla android than the Nexus 7 and 9 tablets.

Thanks Astralbee. :highfive:
I suspect the ROM you are using is employing some zRAM to help things out. My Nexus 9 has now gone but my mother still has hers. I'd like to put something better than stock on it, but can't be dealing with all the issues when I'm not there, (400 miles away.)
When I see her at Christmas I'm going to factory reset her Nexus 9 in the hope of things improving.
Wow - two years old and still no _stable_ Firmware (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=175232). Even for a Nexus that's a new one.
Please stop all the doom talking...
