Nexus 7 16GB discontinuing?

How come some websites listing Nexus 7 16GB as a discontinued product? I thought it was 8GB. I checked in JR.com they have their 16GB nexus 7 listed as discontinued. I checked my local microcenter store and they said they do not carry that product anymore. Is google discontinuing 16GB nexus 7?

I went into a few stores to pick up a 16gb model for my flatmate and an employee at HMV told me they were no longer stocking the 16gb. What I took this to mean was that Google are doing the same with the 16gb as they did with the 8gb and making it an online exclusive.
The 8gb was initially supposed to be an online playstore exclusive but they had to start distributing it to stores etc to meet the high demand of the N7. I don't think they'd discontinue it because it's how they keep a hold on the "extremely cheap" tablet option. £160 for a 16gb tablet is crazy cheap, and they'd have to be even crazier to discontinue it and make the minimum £200.

I find it odd that Argos in the UK (a huge high street retailer) only sells the 32GB, and not the 16GB (which surely would sell better).

It's on the Play store, soo

I went checked all my local stores such as Staples, Microcenter, Radioshack and all they carry is 32GB. Seems like google is only selling 16GB through its playstore as "jrush4" mentioned. Walmart is selling 16GB currently for free shipping though. I guess it won't last long either.

well i think they have discontinued the model everywhere else and are selling it here in India for Double the Price.Profit for them.

You say that they had to start distributing to meet high demand, and I realise their is high demand for it, but
DOES ANY1 ELSE FEEL THERE ARE NO NEXUS 7's around?
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OTHER THAN MINE?!

I've seen quite a few. My mother-in-law and aunt both have one... and I wasn't no where in the process. I've seen some running in the wild too. I think most people keep tablets at home.
And I'm not sure about the 16gb being discontinued as it competes directly with the 16gb iPad Mini. Google is probably just focusing their shipments of the 32gb's to get them in the wild.

I also noticed I could not find the 16gb at Sams Club, Staples, Gamestop or Office Depot

You are talking about Google here. Right?
With google you really know what they are thinking or doing.. Maybe they are going to discontinue it . Maybe they are just cutting shipping so people will but the 32 instead.Its really hard to say with Google. I do know they can NOT Keep a secret at all. So if they where really planing something We would assume it to be leaked already in some form or another. Maybe they are going to make another change to to the nexus 7 and announce it on the 13th . I to do not see why they would discontinue it. But i also know all the local Walmart and staples office depot stores have them . But only if you go into the store at staples and office depot. No advertisement .. Which is odd.
Google Google Google.. Who knows for sure all we can do is guess.

I was waiting for that, so I can exchange my 16gb with a little screen lifting for a brand new 32.
Please, more infos discontinued 16gb from EU, thanks.

Is there anyone here who would rather buy a 16GB N7 for $200, rather than a 32GB N7 for $250?
That might be why the 16GB N7 might be disappearing soon...

Newegg Reduced Price to $329

On Tuesday newegg.com reduced the price from $349 to $329. Twenty bucks is twenty bucks....gets me half od a 64GB micro sd

You're probably right but don't ya want it TODAY!

I've heard some folks have been able to get Best Buy to price match Newegg. Actually shouldn't be too hard as this is only 6% discount. In any case, right now Amex is offering $25 credit on statement if purchasing anything over $250 from Best Buy. Thus if you get BB to price match and put it on an Amex card, you are basically getting this for $304 (plus applicable taxes.)

10% off on Newegg for tablets
Gave me $33 off the new $329 price.
$296 free shipping :good:

Here's a bad sign. I had a white G Pad that was sitting in my shopping cart on Newegg. When I went to the website and put another item in the cart, I got a message saying that they were removing the G Pad because they had insufficient stock. Looks like the black model is still available.
So, this means that the G Pad is now available at 11/2 retailers in the US, and basically, it's only available online and not in B&M stores. Another indication that LG is pulling the plug. I'm puzzled about why they seem to introducing it in other markets while they're abandoning it in the US, though. Mysterious.

Still showing in stock but the price has been bumped back up to $349.99 and no more free shipping. Maybe they're selling well enough to cut the discount now.

Not available at B&M stores? That is absolutely false. The eight (yes 8 ) closest Best Buys to me have it in stock.
It's also still available at Newegg, just not on sale.

I should have said barely available at B&M stores. In my area, half the stores have a few units in the cage where nobody can see them. None of the stores have them on display.
I didn't see that the white unit was still showing up on Newegg, but apparently it is. The fact that they're raising the price going into Black Friday suggests to me that they are running out of inventory. None of this is good news.

Yes, they did back to $349. I really want to buy this tablet, but there something telling me not to buy it, such as cases, battery life, updates...
The Smart Case advertise on their website is nowhere to be found nor any body know it will ever being sold. But it's a good tablet, I might want to wait until Christmas to see if the price goes down...

The HP Slate 8 pro with the tegra 4 is out now, 329.99. I'd consider it but I fear development, or lack thereof, will be the same as the gpad.

Hmm, I hadn't looked at this one before you mentioned it. Looks like it has 4:3 ratio (which some people prefer). One other issue is that it only has 1 Gb RAM which will probably affect the performance. Still might be worth a look.
With any luck, we'll start seeing some more 8" options in the coming months. Maybe some of them will make a better attempt to sell their devices than LG has.

The 4:3 is most likely a deal breaker for me. I've spent some time with an iPad mini and the aspect ratio just felt weird, probably because I haven't had a 4:3 ratio anything since the old computer monitors.
Regarding the RAM, some reviews I've read claim 1 GB and others claim 2, not sure why the discrepancy but it's a moot point after the screen ratio.
I'll probably just wait until the 8.3 goes on sale again somewhere. Hopefully there'll be another competitor in this screen size by that time.

I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I might pick up a cheap substitute (Nexus 7, e.g.) and wait for a decent 8" device to come along. It might turn out the the problem with the G Pad is just production shortages. If that's the case, then they may lower the price and get them out to more retailers when they are able to produce enough devices. If that doesn't happen, I'll look for something else. I'm just not ready to buy a G Pad until there are enough people owning one to make a community.

Just ordered one tonight.They had them on sale with a promo code for 50% off.Can't beat it for 174.99.Had a Note 8 and sold it.Got a ipad air.Missed having a Android tablet.Think I will return the Air now that I got the G Pad.

[Q] Best price on a Nexus 10?

Well I have the N10 on my Christmas list after doing my research on what exactly I wanted in my next tablet. I'm coming from a Kindle Fire 1st gen rooted and running 4.4, so I'm sure I'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference in performance.
So to my question, since my family missed any potential Black Friday deals, does anybody know what the best pricing on the N10 is currently? I don't want a used device and on the fence with whether or not I would do refurbished. I've had my issues in the past with refurbished electronics. I guess if the deal was right I'd do refurbished. I was mostly considering the 32 gig, but if there was an outstanding deal for the 16 gig, I'd gladly do that since I never even fill up my 4 or 8 gig Kindle.. Whichever it is. Was also thinking of waiting for the N10 2, but with only mild speculation and no release date, I think I'd be fine with the current version. Any help would be awesome. Anybody know of any specific Cyber Monday deals either?

I was scanning for about 2 weeks, the best price varied by about $140 by the day between $280-$420. I'd put in the effort and check daily. This site seemed to find them fairly fast.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...exus-10-32gb-for-279-plus-5-shipping-us-only/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...us-10-32gb-plus-a-100-visa-gift-card-for-399/
So ...just from last 2 week's experience, I'd check this like twice daily as part of your ritual.
http://www.androidpolice.com/topics/phones-devices/samsung/nexus-10-samsung/
Amazon seemed to hold its price about $400-$425 when I was looking, I went for the Woot offer as it happened first, the ebay one was about $14 less for me but i'd already ordered the earlier one.
Have you worked out the price you'd want to pay (and don't say as low as possible) or have you worked out the date by which you want it ordered?
I wanted to pay $300 personally so I just held til I found it, I wasn't needing by a specific date as I just wanted basically less-squinting larger N7. No way was I going to pay $400, never mind $500.
I think a $300-ish offer will come up within the next 2 week, just put in the daily ritual and be patient.

If I were you, I will just wait for Nexus 10 2nd generation. It will be released very soon (Few days to maximum of few weeks)
Not only you will get top notch tablet with latest hardware but your device will also be updated by google for a longer period of time. This means you will see 4 more updates minimum with compared to last update on Nexus 10.
I know there would be some 100-250 $ in old and new generation but I can tell you that it will be worth to pay the extra and get it.
I had a choice to buy Nexus 7 2012 or wait for Nexus 7 2013, i waited and I can tell you I am so happy that I waited. Not only it's thousand times better than older generation but the price isnot bad either/ (I got it around 220 for 32GB using staples coupon in US while officemax was giving 15-20% off too). Remember you will always find deals around different time of the year and I know waiting sucks but it will be worth it.
Good Luck

There is only speculation about a N10 successor, there is in equal weight:
There is no N10 successor, current manufactured is all there is and Google is getting out of Android 10" as didn't sell well in volume.
There is a no 10" successor, there is an 8" successor which at least better matches what FCC approved.
There is an N10 successor, produced by Samsung or Asus
There is a 10" coming out but it is Chrome OS not Android
Dates have been "any day now" for weeks. There is a rumor one will be announced today (and there was last Friday and last Monday and the Friday before and......).
Now here is what happens when something comes out:
It is very difficult to get initially
you can only get it from Google Play with tax and shipping
you'll pay RRP
you'll suffer what initial bugs exist, like screen lifting, etc., you'll likely have bugs needing 4.4.2 or 4.5 to fix.
I'd not wait for a N10 successor, but neither would I pay $400+ for the current N10, I'd look out for N10 bargains around $300 mark, and then when/if a $500+ N10 successor comes out, you'll think "well I got a reasonable value for a known product", if the N10 successor comes out and it has something you want, you can then get it and sell the N10 for not a massive amount less than you paid and had it in your hands for the interim.
I got a N7 2012 32GB out in June '13. When the N7 2013 came out it was $50 more delivered. For what I use my N7 for, I kept it on 4.2.2 and ok, didn't like 4.3 and went to 4.4, which with Franco kernel is perfectly ok fine fore me, and you can get the N7 2012 32GB model now for $115.
If the N10 comes out, it will likely be worth $500+, the current N10 is I think worth $300.
My N10 is due in post today, I paid $314 delivered, let's see.....
Current N10 used on Ebay sell for >$300, if N10 successor comes out it will still sell likely for >$250. So if I sold my N10 say 4 months from now for say $250, I'll have lost $64 so cost me 50cents/day.
Is 50cents/day worth waiting and doing without for a possibly nothing?
So, the only reason to wait is because any given technology drops in cost over time, so if you buy it later you'll tend to get it cheaper, or get better technology. If you want now, focus on getting a bargain, don't wait for a future unknown thing.

Now on UK Play Store!

Just a heads up you can now pre-order on the UK play store, though annoyingly sand isn't available.

It certainly is! I've just ordered the 16gb in black. The sand version is yet to be made available but it's showing as only available in 32gb. The standard cases are £35 and the keyboard is £110, both not available.

I wanted the sand one but I'm too impatient so I've ordered at 32GB white model, I'll opt for the £35 cover once it's available, I don't think I'd really use the keyboard and it's far too overpriced!

I was considering the 32gb but thankfully I have a Three OnePlan SIM and live in a 4G area so I am pretty well covered for streaming and using Google Drive etc.
Enjoy your tablet!

£400 for the 32GB version. The Nexus 6 is going to be £600 at this rate.

It won't be far from it. And yet the nexus 6 was in my original plans to buy! But no where at that price!

Need to sell my lg g pad.. Hardly used it. Also have a nexus 7 2013 which I haven't used much.... But I still want to get the nexus 9.
I'm a sucker for nexus products.

Am I the only one who thinks the P&P of £9.99 is kinda ridicules ?

You're not, I had the same reaction, especially considering it doesn't state it as a next day delivery service.

It makes me laugh how they call it next day yet it's a pre order.

Bit the bullet and pre-ordered a 32GB black from Amazon, even though the £399 price is a bit ludicrous. I suppose I'll get a fair few years of usage out of it and it'll receive timely updates OTA so there's that.

Few years wow, about 6 months for me ?

Pre-ordered the 9 this morning, just waiting to see on the N6, I'll hopefully be able to grab one from CPW rather than wait potentially a few weeks from the playstore. I am also (for the record) happy with my N5, I use it more than my three devices. (OPO, G3) but the N6 is shiny and new and is a MUST have

Yeah if I get one it'll probably be from CPW, I preordered the N5 from the play store last year but ended up grabbing one from CPW on launch day.

i asked some one who works in carphonewarehouse and he told me that EE will have exclusivity for however long... and he said you might aswell just buy it from the play store outright.
so maybe they wont allow people to buy the phone outright?

Nexus 9 Hong Kong Play Store

I have not seen this thread yet so I have been calculating how long it was for the nexus 6 to appear on the Hong Kong play store. It seems that Nexus 9 is out on the Hong Kong Play Store. Only grey color and only in Wifi so far. Also only delivers in 3 weeks. HKD 3088 for the 16gb and HKD3688 for the 32gb. Anyone already ordered one?
Personally I am thinking of waiting for the gold one, also for the keyboard to come out. Although Google has not always been that great with accessories and their availability.

Keyboard is ridiculous price! Cheaper alternative for me!

Can't believe it's so cheap in HK!
Man, tempted to go to HK for a holiday now and buy a Nexus 9. My gf would love to go back sometime. We lived there for a year 2012/2013. Plus UK plug heads etc.

The prices at different regions depend on the tax (at least part of the price). If I remember correctly the tax price of tech product in HK is not that high comparining to Europe.
PS. I also ordered mine from HK play store

How much is shipping from the HK Google Play store? I'll be travelling to HK soon and am thinking of getting one whilst I'm there.

Less than I can think of lol

the white 16gb Wi-Fi is also available
just wonder if the gold one has a stiff back like the white nexus 5 or the more rubberlike texture like the black n5

btw, I wonder should I preorder on playstore or wait until it is available at Broadway as the qc of HTC is really not worth trusting

Hong Kong really cheap

The term "cheap" should depends on the average income for people in that region

So, up until yesterday, the Play store was showing shipping as 2-3 weeks. This has now been updated as showing "Leaves warehouse by November 5".
Also, should add, no sales tax in HK, which is sometimes why things are a bit cheaper here sometimes (but we do have lots of unofficial hidden taxes which sometimes result in things being more expensive here compared to other parts of the world).

I have not been able to see the white one, must be different for everyone. I think you can RMA with google play store in case of QA problems. It is tempting to be one of the first to use the Nexus 9 tho.

i am heading to HK on holiday on Nov 14, any kind friends from HK can advise me when is the rough date to order the nexus 9 so it can reach my hotel say between 16-18 nov? Also, is there any post office or service address where i can have it ship to so i can self collect while they safe keep for me? i would prefer the latter though. thanks!
Also, would you ahve any idea of trusted and reputable retail shops in HK to purchase the nexus 9?

The official claim from Google is 2-5 business day for delivery after the product has left the warehouse and the warehouse for Hong Kong market is located in Singapore.
Most of the big stores in Hong Kong are trustworthy, but you can expect they might sell it a little bit higher than Play store

Waiting for LTE 32GB to be available.

I have not seen this thread yet so I have been calculating how long it was for the nexus 6 to appear on the Hong Kong play store. It seems that Nexus 9 is out on the Hong Kong Play Store. Only grey color and only in Wifi so far. Also only delivers in 3 weeks. HKD 3088 for the 16gb and HKD3688 for the 32gb. Anyone already ordered one?

Neither do I really, but my wife HATES gold stuff and it might be fun to piss her off

Never piss off wife. You always have to pay that too with interest.

Now showing as delivery within 1-2 business days. Did anyone decide to get?
Seems the reviews have not been the most favourable.
I am debating whether to hold out until seeing how Lollipop performs on my N7 before committing to the N9.
