who will migrate to 10

Just asking, who will upgrade to nexus 10. I will just because my mom agreed to buy it as my present.
My concern is.
- big resolution, will there be any apps compatibility issue?
- bigger screen. Harder to hold and heavier.
Thought? Who else here will buy nexus 10 or trade their n7 for it?

Will just have both.The N7 is great on the go (won't do without it ) and the N10 will do more couch duty with it's big lovely screen. :laugh:

I'd consider trading my N7 for one, but I don't think it'll happen. I don't think anyone would pay "much" for a 8GB model. And I don't have the money to just buy a N10 :/

No.

I'm just about to migrate to the nexus 7 32gb soon!
Can't wait already...selling my Asus transformer any day now. I tried a friends nexus 7 at work last week and I was sold.
Love the 7 inch form factor. Just the portability of the device is what got me.
The nexus 10 looks awesome...especially with that display resolution and the cortex a15 dual exynos. However, I think the 7 inch form factor is the one for me for now.

Yes - I plan to do exactly that - provided the build quality is good, and once the teething issues around supply etc are dealt with.

I'm migrating to a 32gb N10.

Thinking about passing down the 7 to another family member and grabbing a 10. I think I will have to wait a while for the pricing to make sense though.
Nexus 7 16 gb ===> 32 = $50
Nexus 10 16 gb ===> 32 = $100
That's the annoying old school Apple pricing there. Annoying, everyone in the world knows that that memory costs $5. Was happy with the new pricing thresholds for the Nexus 7, I assume the 10 will follow suit eventually. Probably when competitors get closer in specs.

Fun to say but the ipad mini format would have been the best of both world.
with 1920*1200 resolution.
I keep my Nexus 7 16gig, i can bring it everywhere !

Im just pissed off at Google for dropping what I paid for a 16GB, to the price of an 8GB weeks after purchasing it.... They said try to claim a price match or something, but I don't know how.

You do realise the Nexus 10 is the lightest and thinnest 10" tablet on the market. It also runs android (obviously ) which works with most screen resolution. I'm sure Google thought it through with 4.2.

Exactly the same feeling, I bought 16GB, would definitely wait for the 32GB + 3G if I knew. I have 10" eeePad Transformer, Nexus 7 is just big enough and much more comfortable to use.
It would be better if they would put this Hi-res displays to notebooks instead of tablets :laugh:

I'd love to play around with the 10 but with that resolution it's awesome but at the same time I'd want to watch media on it and it's already a pain to have a 7" with a usb stick hanging out, imagine a 10" with a usb stick hanging out.
The 7 has been an awesome road warrior. Works great as a stand along GPS on the road minus the polarized effect but I just use it as a gps in portrait mode.
hmmm..i do have a galaxy 10.1 that needs replacing but I honestly wanted to make my 10" something along the lines of a windows 8 pro tablet/hybrid but damn those things will be double the price of a nexus 10 for the i5 models. =(

I'm tempted by a 10, not to replace my 7 but my iPad 2. Think I can probably sell my iPad for a reasonable amount on eBay.

It is not exactly as you think.. Google is bearing a loss with 16gb version, not making profit. So extra 100 dollars cost is not actually for memory upgrade. Its stepping up from loss to profit.. Same applies for Nexus4 also..

yes that's what come to my mind.
basically my "gadget lover" instinct tell me to get nexus 10. But then i'm in the middle of choosing in-between because I feel that 2 tablet is useless. I try to ask myself "what is your need?" , but I realise that, it's not about need, it's about "lust". Nexus 7 is really awesome for portability, i bring it everywhere but Nexus 10 has 2500x1600 resolution, front speaker, gorilla glass 2, 9000mAH battery, and NEW. And if i do get N10, i rather sell my 16gb N7 for 200$ (comes with screen protector and 2 smart case) so i could buy accessories for N10 or add another 185$ to buy nexus 4.. So now i'm in doubt, if i don't get N10 when it released, i won't be able to get it at all since this is supposed to be my b'day present.

i love my nexus 7 sizes... i think that 10 is too much

already have a 10"..and considering the fact for me a tablet is not a must have..but only a plus to play with,i have no need to upgrade my eeepad transfomer with a nexus 10.i 100% keep my nexus7.when i went to shop for buy the n7,i was tempting to buy a gnote 10.1...but after a bit of thinking,i choose the n7 for the size screen.i rarely go out home with tablets,and if i do,i'll go with the nexus7.if i'd buy nexus10 it would stay always at home.full satisfied with my 7 and 10" tablets

USB out of the nexus 7? I currently have a Acer a500 and thinking about going to nexus 7. Where are you plugging this USB into?
Sent from my A500 using xda app-developers app

USB comes from an OTG cable (microUSB > Full USB). Search Amazon for them.
I'm good with a 7". I had my Asus Transformer 10" and I loved it but it was just a little too big. I wanted to upgrade to a Tegra3 but didn't see it worthwhile just replacing it with another 10" tablet (Asus TF300). I bought my son a used Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and I LOVED the size. Fortunately I held out and found the N7. It had all the great features (minus HDMI )I wanted but in a 7" form factor. Plus a price point that was great. I sold my Transformer for $225 and picked up a N7.
Most users here HAD a 10" and downsized to a 7" because we preferred the smaller size.

[Q] Nexus 10 vs Next Nexus tablet vs Nexus 7?

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.

[Q] Does the 2nd generation Nexus 7 worth the money compared to the 1st generation?

Hello,
I am currently considering to buy either 1st or 2nd generation manufacturer refurbished Nexus 7.
I am estimating that the lowest price I can probably get for 2nd gen manufacturer refurb 16GB Nexus 7 is about 180 (220 probably for 32GB)
Whereas, 32GB refurb Nexus 7 is sold only for around 150 in Ebay these days.
In one word, 2nd gen is definitely a better tablet whereas 1st gen is a better tablet for price (I think).
So...
1. Is Nexus7 1st gen really that horrible?
I have heard lots of complaints about 1st gen N7's hardware.
People claimed that Tegra3 sucks and it lags (Does it lag more than GS3), display has horrible color saturation and color tone, and Tablet itself is too thick compared to 2nd Gen.
But... is it that horrible? (I am especially concerned with the performance part)
2. Does 2nd gen N7 worth the money
Well it costs about $70 more on Ebay.
Do you think it worth the money?
(in some sense, it is 50% more expansive then its 1st gen version)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Have a nice day!
PS
Also, do you think if I get a 16GB version of N7, do you think I will eventually regret due to lack of storage?

Believe me, buy the 2nd gen.
$70 difference is not that much if you can save a bit.
Suppose it's $10 I spend for lunch, I will not have lunch for 7 days and buy the 2nd gen

Yes it is worth it. Screen resolution, physical size, and internal hardware are all big improvements over the 1st gen. If you can spring for the 32GB over the 16GB definitely do so. I have a 16GB and kind of wish I had sprung for the 32GB.

Yeah dude go with the 2nd. 1.8xCPU 4xGPU. And your going to miss out on this beautiful display (which is the main reason I decided to even buy a tablet)
Sent from my SGH-T769

The 2nd gen machine is the machine the first gen machine should've been.

2nd gen definitely, with the 32gb. The build quality and crisp screen are worth it alone imo. It has a really nice feel. The only reason I say go for the higher memory is because, if you get a 16gb one, you're only going to have about 8gb of free space. Enough for some, but not for me. Better to have more than not enough imo...

I love mine so much im buying another (lte version when available) ^_^

Yes go with the 2013 version. :thumbup:
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)

This type of debate has been going on for a huge amount of threads, but yes, you should go for the new Nexus. Power, display, camera, speed performance, to name just a few. Plus, many flaws erased(though there's no denying the new flaws )

2013, definitely. (Is it unanimous yet?)

Just get the 32gb 2nd generation. Why would you buy an outdated device?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

If you can afford it Go with the 2nd generation.
the performance and screen quality is like Day and night.
this tablet will keep for a long time.

In short, the N7 2 is snappier, thinner, great display, and has a rear camera.
I'm hoping JB 4.3 helps the performance of the 1st Gen N7... it just doesn't manage resources as well. Both are plastic, so build quality is about the same, the gen 2 wins out since it's a little thinner and narrower which seems a little more natural in hand. The displays are small, but again the 2nd has a higher resolution... But only a side-by-side comparison would reveal the difference. Alone both displays are really nice.
I really missed the rear camera. With my Flyer, I had the option to integrate handwritten notes and whiteboard snapshots. The N7 without the rear camera was obviously awkward in those situations. The N7 2 makes it less awkward and makes the tablet a companion into meetings again. Still miss a digitizer for accurate handwritten notes, but I'm hoping this device has better support from the community. Photosphere is cool, and 5MP is plenty for what I need.
As for memory, both support OTG. I use Dropbox extensively. They wireless card readers, but I find hardwired OTG faster and more compact... Unless sharing content with others in which case the wireless card reader is great.
I'm looking for a good BT keyboard and seriously considering the LTE version when released.

It is defenitely worth it.
The 1st gen Nexus 7 is suffering on major slowdowns due to the slow cpu/gpu. Even the Exynos 4 in the S3 is faster.
If you play Gameloft games, you will notice this.
Tegra 3 optimized games are fine though but most non-Tegra optimized games are laggy.
Also, the OpenGL ES 3.0 capability of the Adreno 320 should give you some extra graphic effects in supported games.
Next awesome CPU will be Tegra 4, but the Tegra 3 can already get sent to pension.

Get the new one. Hands down it's better.

It all depends on how much you're willing to spend.
I returned my 32 GB 2013 N7 because it just wasn't worth $270 to me. Small tablets are really cheap now, and personally I wouldn't spend more than $150 for one anymore.
Then I bought a 32 GB 2012 N7 for $100 in mint condition from Swappa (take a look, the good deals are out there!) and I'm quite happy with that.

On the fence about getting the new Note 10.1 2014 Edition

I am in love with this tablet. It checks on pretty much everything that I'm looking for. But one thing is holding me back from jumping the gun on October 10..... the price.
550 for a 16gb and 600 for a 32gb sounds like a no brainer. But I feel that it's a no small pocket change to drop on a tablet. I know the screen is crazy good and the s pen makes it head and shoulders over what's currently available. But I keep on trying to justify the reasoning for the 600 price tag.
I believe the thing that I keep going back to is the lack of tablet optimized apps for Android. Don't get me wrong, I've been pro android since the htc hd2, and I been through my share of samsung devices (got the note 2, 1st day it launched) . But I also had the original galaxy tab 10.1 and chose to get it early and paid the premium for it. Then it seemed within less than 4 months, the price dropped and continued to do so. And even though it was great for consuming videos and browsing the web I felt like the majority of the apps just didn't either scaled properly to the 10.1 form factor, or they weren't as polished as the iPad apps are.
I waited last week, to see what Microsoft was going to do with their newly redesigned surface pro 2, but it failed to excite me unlike the new 10.1 note is doing. If I could dual boot jellybean and windows on the surface pro 2, i'd probably look into that.
Maybe things have changed for the better on the tablet side for Android apps. But i ultimately ended up giving the tablet to my grandfather so he could Skype his grandkids and watch football. I just want to see what you guys's reasons were for being excited and early adopters and paying the premium price for early adoption.
Thx for reading the lengthy post,
Eddie

Well for some, myself included, this is a luxury item and think the slight increase in price from last years model isn't that bad. For your money you would be buying the best tablet available (imo) and it will be quite the beast for your daily consumption, and it will also last for years. Its really a laptop without the keyboard that has much better battery life and is more portable in the scheme of things. I'm not a laptop person and rather a tablet for the things I want to do.Since Android is taking tablets serious these days its gotten and will be much better in the future since its proving to not be a niche item any longer. I'm really anxious to start seeing reviews in the next week or so in the meanwhile..... I guess you have some deciding to do and I just wanted to chime in.

I too am not a laptop person. I was taken back a little bit by the price when it was announced. I was hoping for the 32GB to be around $550. For me the extra $50 is ok for all the extras it comes with. But really what it boils down to is how much I use my current tablet.
My current tablet is the HP Touchpad with Cyanogenmod Android ICS installed. I am a desktop fanatic and was completely blown away by how much time I shifted from my desktop to the tablet. I am a news junkie and a Reddit.com reader so I get tons of use out of a device that is, in my opinion, perfectly set up for internet consumption.
All in all, I love the 10 inch tablet form factor and use it for hours every day so I feel the price is justified for me.

I really am liking the extra features that Samsung has added on top of Android, such as being able to run two apps side by side. After having the last two Transformers (Prime and Infinity) and having a ton of issues with their performance, this is will be the best premium tablet on the market, and that comes with a price. Sure you can get a laptop for that price, but if a tablet fits your needs better, it'll be hard to top this tablet. If you need to save some money, wait for the next Nexus device. If this tablet isnt in your budget, don't feel pressured to get the device. It is better to be straight financially than to stress over a luxury item.

Remember this has a card slot. You can buy a 16GB SD card for $10 so effectively you can get 32GB for 560. Not a bad deal when you consider the screen and CPU/GPU which are top-class and of course the S-pen.
Ultimately it all hinges on the S-pen. If that is useful to you I think this is an easy buy. If not you should probably look elsewhere, either the Nexus 10 or the iPad 4 .

i think even if the S-pen is bad, as long as that technology is in the tablet, you can use something like the bamboo FEEL by wacom to supplement the S-pen usage

This a premium product, it's going to be priced accordingly. I was honestly expecting $700, it's coming in under my expectations. This is a steal at this price.

No way am I paying 600$ for a tablet. This is just ridiculous. what are they thiniking

Just make sure you get a microSD card, as the note, and most phones and tablets in general, only have a microSD slot, not a full SD card slot.

I think that is a little high priced by mabe $50 bucks. I have owned dozens of android tablets since version 1.5 and I have a nexus 7 2013 edition. I am looking forward to this one would have liked at least 64gb. I also have an ipad 4 that is the 128gb version it was $799 plus $99 insurance plus $40 case plus tax = about a grand. I love the apps on ios but i know you can do more on android. I would like to see android tablet apps like iOS apps and 128gb and up android tablets to be able to install lots of apps on as apps are only instalable on internal memory. I know I overpaid for my ipad but I don't think the price would be far off with a comparable memory spec android tablet.

Thats why there are different specifications and different price points... To serve the masses..

Where did you get price info for the tf701?? Because the tf700, at least at launch, was priced on par with the note 10, and that price didn't include the keyboard **** either, which case about $150 or so more.

Nexus 9 is too expensive

The Nexus 9 is way too expensive.
I have a 2012 Nexus 7, which is still going strong.
I am about at the point that I will be making another tablet purchase.
I will likely go with Samsung's Tab Pro 8.4, which I have recently seen at Best Buy for between $ 240 and $ 280, depending on whats on sale that week.
The tab pro 8.4 gets great reviews and is very competitive spec-wize.; it has a higher res rear cam, higher pixels per inch count on its display , 2.3 ghz quad-core processor, and a micro sd slot for augmenting memory.
Its only short coming is the Touchwiz UI.

Don't throw away your money on the Tab Pro 8.4. Samsung has basically abandoned that tablet and it's not even a year old yet. Great specs, sure, but it's also kinda laggy because of Touchwiz. I'm actually looking at getting the Nexus 9 because of this.

Yeah I know, I developed a bunch of ROM's for it. Had to do blind tests since I don't have it.

Don't throw away your money on the Tab Pro 8.4. Samsung has basically abandoned that tablet and it's not even a year old yet. Great specs, sure, but it's also kinda laggy because of Touchwiz. I'm actually looking at getting the Nexus 9 because of this.

I would agree that they have abandoned it in favor of the Tab S, but how does that affect its usefulness?
I put CyanongenMod on my Tab Pro and it was great. I would have figured few people on this forum keep their devices stock, but to each is own. I will concede that Touchwiz is just OK.

It will mean that getting future custom ROMs could be potentially compromised because (1) Samsung may not release stuff that is needed for these ROMs, and (2) how many devs (which there aren't many to begin with) are going to want to keep putting in work to an "obsolete" device.

Anyone saying that other tablets are "comparable spec wise" either forgot about the 64-bit CPU or they are likely underestimating the effect it will have on performance. Unless you are considering a different tablet with either a Denver K1 or Snapdragon 810 there is probably no point in comparing it to the Nexus 9.

This is the most powerful tablet on the market. It is also the first 64-bit android tab. It will also get updates first. $399 for a 16gb isn't so bad

It's not so bad if you can add more or don't need much space, or prefer to blindly trust on Google's storage and have an unfailing internet connection. Otherwise it's kinda sad and 2012-ish. The price isn't right for that little storage.

Nexus 7 sucks, can't wait for nexus 9

I even consider buying a iPad Mini 2 (only £329 for 32GB) given the iPad Mini 3 is not much of an upgrade to this and not worth buying.
But being a Nexus Fanboy, I'll probably will get a N9 and say Goodbye for my slow & laggy N10.

iPad Air 2 16GB cost the same as a Nexus 9 32GB...
that's just too expensive

What did you even expect from a new device coming out this late?

You can always use OTG. I am almost always near a WiFi connection so I should be fine. I have a grandfathered Unlimited T-Mo plan without hotspot but I want to see if I can bypass that. All my media will be coming off my server computer and apps shouldn't be that much space.

Please do your home work on the nvidia shield tablet!!!
It has been known of self cracking corners! Plenty of customers on here, I was one of them!!! even with the second batch and LTE version
.
Very poor WiFi!
And losses charge whilst on charge. Suss that one out?
I had one and sent it back after a week!
It could of been a very good tablet. But has some very big issues!
There are only a couple of very hard working devs over there as development stands.
But sadly the shield is a big flop. Really is a shame!!!!!!

For me it is bad. $399 screams highend and it should have had 32GB at that price point. But even that sounds bad. Should have been $300 for 16GB and $350 for 32GB.
Hate to bring up iPad's around here but a new retina mini cost $299 at 16GB. If you're not into rooting/hacking it looks pretty decent compared to these prices. Point being it won't take long for prices to drop on this new Nexus 9. I wouldn't be surprised to see these hit the refurb bins at $250 to $300 in 6 months. That's how I got my 2013 Nexus 7 for $130.

how about Xiaomi Mi pad?!
did u think about xiaomi's mi pad?! it has the same cpu and gpu. but at lower price.64 gb version is about 340$.also have the same size of Ipad mini2 and all the accessories of ipad mini2 fits to this one..from the Dev side of this tablet i dont know alot.but i know nvidia quickly turn behind to its cpu and products..i have htc one x..i waited a lot for some good games that never showed up!by the way i have ifive mini 3gs..i am very satisfied.. mi pad was my choice but i needed sim card slot so i bought this ifive.. Mi pad is a very good tablet..think about it :good:

I honestly believe that for what you get with the nexus 9 that it's going to be a decent deal.
I just bought a galaxy tab s 10.5 and am debating on buying the nexus 9 as my living room tablet.
