Just looking to see who else is thinking about selling their other tablet since the new N7 came out. The only thing remotely keeping me from dumping my TF300 is the keyboard, and the fact that AOKP made it amazingly smooth and fast.

I use my tf101 as a teleprompter when making video projects for school. If my talent can read from this, I'm gonna try to dump the 101 for sure. Only problem is Craigslist is flooded with tf101s in MPLS right now :-\

I've owned 2012 Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Galaxy Note 10.1. Digitizer pen aside the 2013 Nexus 7 blows all the others away in performance and usability! It even does things faster than my laptop! If I could buy the LTE version today it would immediately replace the Note II too. This thing is amazing! If it had Note 10.1's front facing speakers and S Pen it'd be perfect.
Probably going to dump my n10

I gave my OG N7 to my mom..she needed it for school, so I bought myself the TF300 lol. I'm thinking of dualbooting a linux distro on it since my girlfriend stole my laptop :< I fell in love with my N7 the moment i took it out of the box, so I know I'm keeping it. I figure I may buy another keyboard dock just for the connector and stuff and try to make a dock to use it as a media player on my TV or something..I dunno rofl. I'd like to keep it, but I don't want it to collect dust.
edit: Maybe not @ the dock, since asus apparently made a dock with basically the same things I was looking to make lol.

I've got mine listed on CL. I've had a few offers. I listed it for $150, but think I might lower it to $130. If I cant sell it I'll give to to my niece and nephew who enjoy playing with it.
I have a Nexus 10 but I am going to sell it. Is already on Swappa.
I like the Nexus 7 to travel. Fits easily in my back pockets.
I do have a Chrome Pixel that I use when I get home so I won't miss the Nexus 10 much
My other tablet is the Note 10.1 which I love especially with the multi-tasking features so it's a tough call. I've been using the Nexus 7 almost exclusively and it's growing on me, it's a nice size for gaming and the resolution is great. Although I'm looking forward to Samsung's new tablets that are coming soon.... Never ending cycle.
Still keeping my original N7 for the time my mom realizes her blackberry tablet actually sucks and I'll give here one that actually works.
Sold my iPad 4 today. Was not using the iPad that much anyway...need to see how much I will use the nexus 7.

Hardware wise, it doesn't seem like horrible tablet. Anyway, I played with the Nexus 7 (2013) yesterday and it feels so light(like the Kindle Paperwhite). Furthermore, the screen and sound quality was excellent. it felt wonderful in my hand. To bad I in possession of a Samsung ATIV 500T (a 11.6" Atom powered Windows 8 tablet with Wacom tech) and a Kindle paperwhite, so I don't really need the Nexus 7 (2013).
Thinking about selling my iPad mini 64gb..

For now, I'm keeping my 1st gen n7. I has aokp 4.2.2 and runs all the apps I need it to run and I still use it. I could care less if it broke or got lost; which is a great feeling. The 2013 n7 I will just use for basic things right now seeing as how 4.3 is new and not completely supported by all apps. I like the 2013 n7 better, but until the apps catch up, I'm going to hold on to that original n7. In time I'll probably give it to a family member as a gift. Everybody and there momma is selling them on craigslist, so I probably won't go that route...
This replaced my BB Playbook, which is going on CL asap, and I'll be telling it not to let the door hit it in the rear end...
We have an "old" Nexus 7 that we will keep for sure. The iPad was sold when we got the first Nexus 7, just a hard tablet to beat, the new one even more so!
Hello,
So its been more or less a year since the nexus 7 2013 came out. And rumors have been there online about a 'nexus 8' coming out soon. I honestly do not care about that since it will then become a rat race of sorts.
My dilemma is that I need to buy a tablet, a week from now, for studying purposes. Like mandatory buying. Since there will be a lot of reading and watching videos(~6 hours a day in the library), my first thought was getting this tablet. Since the screen resolution is off the charts for a 7 inch screen. Plus its budget friendly.
But since I already have a nexus 5 (I have tried watching my videos on it but it burns my eyes after a couple of hours, plus the videos are SD), would it really make a difference to buy this tablet? Any advice/input would be appreciated.
Oh and where I live, I cant get my hands on a un-sealed nexus 7 so I cant compare the screen size versus my nexus 5.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Another tablet I thought of was Ipad Mini 1st gen (non retina). But then again, Apple official stop mini 1st gen support end of this year..
I would stick with an Android tablet. They are cheaper to begin with and generally have better battery in my experience.
I would recommend getting the Nexus 7 2013 and maybe installing a custom kernel and ROM since it looks like you're going to be watching a lot of video and want the battery to last as long as possible.
Heck, I still have my Nexus 7 2012 and it works like a dream with RastaKat installed.

I plan on installing ROMs and kernels yes
I see you have a nexus 5. Would you happen to have an idea of the screen size difference in person between nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013? If I'm not mistaken, your nexus 7 2012 is almost the same size as the 2013 counterpart, so how much better would you rate ( out of 10, the higher the better)watching a video on your nexus 5 versus nexus 7?
Thank you
Nexus 5 is a bit clearer. As for the sizes the names of the devices speak for themselves. Nexus 5 clocks in around 4.97 inches IPS display if I'm right.
I don't know much about the Nexus 7 2013 but from what I read about the reviews and my friends who have used it love it.
That being said when it comes to size between the Nexus 5 and N7 2012 I'd love watch it on my tablet but for clarity I'd watch on my N5 in 1080p.
The N7 2013 isn't too far behind the Nexus 5 so I wouldn't worry about quality too much honestly.
Also while we're on the topic of devices I own I do Not own an S4. I'm using a Milk Music bypass where I have to modify the build.prop to show up as a Samsung device.

This thread has been helpful, thank you.
I have a Nexus 4, Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 7 2013...
My take?
Buy either Nexus 7 for media consumption and use your Nexus 5 as a phone/more portable device. 7" makes a difference even over the 5" screens I've seen.
As far as screen quality, the 2012 is actually not bad at 720p, but definitely the 1080p screen on the 2013 is excellent.
BIG warning though: The Nexus 7 2013 is extremely fragile. Within weeks of buying it, I had chips on the bezel despite it being in a rubberized case and never dropped. No idea how it happened. Then it warped while being in my pocket. You could lay it face down and it would tip back and forth. Then, I dropped it (my bad) and the screen shattered. Screen replacement is incredibly difficult, don't let anyone lie to you. I nearly destroyed the plastic bezel by overheating it to remove the glass. It made me sick since I have the LTE version and the bezel CANNOT be bought. I am probably going to "repair" the damaged area with rubber cement or epoxy to properly support the glass so it doesn't flex, and simply have an ugly bezel with no resale value.
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.

Well, I am literally just sharing that I am so happy with my purchase of the N6.
I came from the note 3 and before that all my phones were Samsung's. I ALWAYS rooted, and then installed an AOSP ROM. I have always LOVED straight android without all the crap. So I decided since the N6 had a big enough screen I would make the switch. I thought I would lose the better picture quality, but I was wrong.
I love that I get straight updates from google, I love the battery life, I love that I don't even need to flash a new ROM everyday. I have rooted my phone running 5.1(e) build, and installed the mod pack in the themes and apps forum so that I can switch the nav bar layout, enable battery percentage, and enable double tap to wake. I literally have nothing else I need to do to get this phone to where I want it.
Kinda sad that I don't have to flash new Roms all the time because I get bored...but that is not really a complaint.
All in all, best phone I have EVER owned....and I have owned a LOT.
Sorry for a boring post, but thought I would share my feelings.
Exactly same feel here. Very impressed with Nexus 6.
Though I've not rooted my device yet, but I heard Franco kernel is really impressive. Did you tried that?
I haven't tried Franco kernel, thought about leankernel, but trying to see how battery is with my newly installed 5.1e build. When I do, I will update this
Give Franco a try. You will not be disappointed. His kernel and the 5.1 update are killer together.

again this is just my opinion. both are great phones if you will use the touchpen and the other Samsung features then you will be better off with the note 4. I like pure android ( which you can also get on the note 4 with root and custom rom ) the nexus 6 has about the same footprint as the note 4 it has a bigger screen which I really like. I still have many Samsung products - 7.7 / 12.2 / note 3, and the note 4 which I am selling now - but if I had to choose between the note 4 and the nexus 6 it would be no question for me nexus 6 all the way
Coming from note 3 & found nexus 6 good but not best. I still love Samsung. Samsung do smooth out any bugs stock nexus leave.
For example lots of people complain about nexus 6 battery life, cracking noise in google voice search & ringtones, high intensity vibrations, pink screens etc. My note 3 also running Android L with 7 hours screen on time compared to just 3-4 hours on nexus 6.

Awesome. I'm on a note 3 now wanting to make the jump. Been waiting since the phone came out.
Might sound like a dumb question, but are all the Roms universal? I'm on sprint, so would I need sprint only Roms? I don't see seperwte sections like other phones have.

All Roms are universal, as long as your are running the correct boot loader. But even that hasn't kept us from running anything. Great phone. Gonna try Franco kernel cause right now I am only getting 4 hours screen on...stock rooted, stock kernel.
Off to download Franco. Thanks everyone for participating!
My last 3 devices have all been nexus devices. Nexus 6, Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus. Did consider the Note 4 but to be honest have never been disappointed with Googles Vision. Its like my cars! Last few have all been jaguars. If it ticks your boxes, why take the chance for disappointment!

Galaxy nexus.....horrible
To those of you that have had / have both a note 4 (preferably exynos for this comparrison) and a nexus 6, how do you find they compare on signal strength, particularly in areas where coverage is not all that good?
I have a note 4, and I find it slightly worse than my nexus 5 for signal strength. .. this is making me think of selling it for a n6
Chalk up another one in the "loving this phone" category. I was still on S4 and waiting for the S6, but when I realized Verizon was about to release the Nexus I had to give it a try. I was concerned about the size a little at first but once I started using it, it's a good thing. I find it much easier to type on, and just use in general. It's beautiful, snappy, and smooth as silk.
Same here, long time Samsung user that switched to the nexus side of things.
Had the s1/s3/s4/note2/note3 and when the new nexus was announced to be a 6 inch beast I couldn't resist either.
Love the dual speaker setup, the screen itself and the fact that instead of 258 apps installed on device it's 128 now (yay for bloat free awesomeness) battery life is pretty good for me and if all fails just hook it up to that big turbocharger for some quick charge juice.
This phone makes me feel the same as when I had my note 2 (note 2 is my fav note in the series imo)
I can safely say I don't miss my note 3 which was my daily phone before this one.
Got Nexus 6P from day one and been running on project fi for a month. Saw Google offer on 5X and treated my self with white 32gb for $250. Can't wait to see how I would like the smaller screen and build.
Have had big phones for ever. Note 3, Note4, Nexus 6, and 6P. I really want to like the 5x . Planning on keeping both if I do.
I have had both since launch and I love them both. I prefer using my 5x mostly for its size and N5 nostalgia. I use both my 5x and 6p daily but my 5x is currently my daily driver.

I'm biased towards big phones. Very not sure how I will react but good to hear its competing with ur 6p
I know there is like .01% chance of this happening but I know there is a rumor Huawei will be building a 7 inch tablet. I would love if they made it like their mediapad x2 7 inch tablet with phone capability. Bezzles are really small I think 80% screen. I seriously doubt it, but I would love to see a true phone/tablet hybrid

Typing this from my 5X. Initial thoughts compared to 6P:
colors look a bit washed out but screen looks nice still.
This thing is so light it's crazy.
Feels much smaller
Feels like a toy compared to big phones I'm used to.
It feels very nice in the hand.
Looks to be smooth so far as I got all updates OTA even the one from just couple days ago.
YES I like it and most likely will keep both phones on fi. I need to use it as my daily driver for sometime to make the final judgment
I just received my 5X today and after having a 6 for about 6 months i'm very happy to be back to a smaller phone. I really liked my Galaxy nexus, nexus 4, and 5, the 6 was just too wide.. honestly it's just right for a phone for me. Can't wait to try out N next.

Been using 5x all day today. Mixed feelings and all related to size. Sometime it feels nice and sometimes it feels just too small. It will be my main driver for few more days to asses. Performance wise, it has been a champ. 6P is in hibernation right now
I'm almost in the same boat except I currently have the MXPE. I just ordered the 5x through the Project Fi promotion. I'm excited to give it and Project Fi a go. I really like the size of the MXPE for media but I do wish it was a little bit smaller at times. Can't wait!

Different strokes for different folks. haha As I mentioned I have the 6p, but I also have the iPhone 6s and the HTC M9. Out of all of them I like the size of the 5X best. The 6p feels just a little too big for me, the 6s feels a little too small, the m9 feels smaller as well. The 5x is my Goldie Locks in terms of size
OK, stop me, stop me now. My 6P been off all day, and this small sucker is taking over lol. I am really not sure I want him to take over his more mature expensive brother. Help help help!
I'm rocking the Moto Nexus 6 right now and my 5x will be here on Tuesday. I couldn't pass up the fi sale price and I am kinda looking forward to a smaller more lightweight phone to be in my pocket all day. I loved my original Nexus 5, and am hoping the camera beats the heck out of my N6.

Yes, camera IS better than N6. Same camera that is in 6p is in 5x.
I've had the 6p from the start as well, but ordered a white 32 gb 5x from B&H yesterday. Got it for $300, which I though was a damn good deal.
