[Q] Is the Nexus 7 worth to buy now? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am considering buying a nexus 7 16gb, is it worth the 314 AUD price tag? What do you guys think from your experiences? Thanks
Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX

Yes ! It is an amazing tablet and the first one born with Android Jelly Bean 4.1. It has a really powerful processor (NVidia Tegra 3 Quad Core (x4) 1.3GHz.). The size is really awesome, you can hold it fine with one hand. It is really smooth and fast. Worth to buy

It's absolutely worth it, get it right now. This device really is great, you've waited too long already.

Does it justify the $314 pricetag? I hope so. It's hard to find in retail stores these days.

I love my Nexus 7. I bought it even knowing that a ipad mini is rumored to come out next month.
If you love your Nexus S's Android OS, the Nexus 7 will not disappoint.

You really cannot go wrong with the price. I mean 250$ is dirt cheap. Especially for a Tegra 3 and 1GB of RAM. Really enjoying mine so far and I have an iPhone 4S and new iPad as well. Android has a special place in my heart for tinkering and this tablet is totally fulfilling that niche .

Why 314? It is 250$ for 16GB and 199$ for 8GB. You mean 314 because you would buy it from google and there is taxes + 20$ for shipping?

He's in AUD instead of US currency for one thing but I dunno the conversion rate

Totally worth it, I have a feeling development has only just started I have never owned a nexus device previous to this
It has replaced my phone for everything but calls and texts, other than when I don't have it of course
I think the size is perfect as the ipad IMO is too big and heavy, 7 inch is perfect size
I bought mine on release weekend at jbhifi for $317, best choice
Buy it from a store so if you have problems, you can take it back like I did.

Although the conversion rate is similar, when its in Australia the taxes are waay higher and everything costs more.

And the tegra 3 processor has so called 12 core GPU , though I never knew what's it frequency speed, 1.3 Ghz ?

416mhz (but a lot of custom kernels overclock to 520)
OP: we can't really answer that (at least, not without information on your preferences). You should youtube the n7 in action and see if it seems to fit your needs.

The nexus 7 is very worth it. Your might have to return it a couple times if it has the defects like screen lift, light bleed, etc.
I doubt the iPad mini will be around 300 dollars, as the ipod touch costs 300 and is less than half the size.
If i were you, I would buy it!

I bought one yesterday and it's well worth it. Mine was built in August and doesn't seem to have any screen or multi-touch problems that others do.
Tapatalk made me send this.

I've had mine for a while and even with a little screen lift on the left hand side, I'd buy it all over again.
If you have the option, purchase an extended warranty that covers screen damage. That extra insurrance never hurt.
I'd buy that for any tab I'd purchase.

Buy it...you won't regret it. Your significant other may though. I think my girl is going to break mine if I don't put it down. Lolzzz

This tablet is absolutely awesome! It's even more awesome if you use the Franco kernel and Paranoid Android! BUY IT! I'm really happy with my device! :good:

I got the 16gb at release and the 32 as soon as it was out and i haven't gone a day without it since. Get one.

Who's getting a Nexus 7 from the shift community?

So as many of you might know the nexus 7 is now available for pre-order. I just ordered mine. Since it's a Nexus device all future firmware updates will be straight from Google and in a timely manner. There will also be a ton of dev support being a nexus device there will be a lot of amazing devs working on root, recoveries and such things. So again I ask, who plans on getting one?

Wait for the 10.1" screen? IDK personally I think larger screen=more battery drain so I'll be happy with the smaller screen and cheaper device. I can't afford these expensive tablets.

You do realize that a 10.1" screen is going to be more expensive right? Not sure what you mean by an actual tablet when the only difference if going to be the screen size. I like the size I don't want something too big or too expensive. You could sell your nook and afford the nexus now lol. To each their own.
I'm running ICS on the 7 inch kindle fire and the size on that is what's stopped me from getting the nexus 7... tho jellybean is really tempting...
Sent from my HTC Evo Shift using xda premium
Yeah I'm well aware of the screen size lol. My father has a Kindle Fire (told me not to root it the first time I saw it) and the size is fine with me. But yeah the quad core with android 4.1 for $200 is what sold me.
I had the HTC flyer for about a week before returning seeing as I used the money on a tv and Google tv but I live 7.1 screen size. For me its not too big and not too small, granted I'm not the biggest guy around lol. It fits comfortably in two hands without having to really stretch out your fingers to type. Personal opinion in the whole 7.1 vs 10.1 inch

It all comes down to personal preference. If they came out with a 10 inch one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Currently thinking about getting the Transformer Pad Infinity... but man does technology move too fast... i hate getting something and finding out 2 days later that a newer faster one is out in a couple months for the same price haha
Im sure the nexus 7 is gonna be a beast though. Quad core + project butter... dammit google give me a 10 inch nexus!
OP Update
As the First post says being this is a nexus device it already has a great start to development :laugh:

The screen is awesome, and so are the specs..However, I am on two wheels 90% of the time. Size and weight are biggies with me.
Right now I am still within my return period on my GN 2014, along with my tax refund to take up the difference. I was going to snatch the 64gb one... But, after looking at the size, compared it to my 10.1, it is just too much..I travel very light on two wheels. Either on motorcycle or bicycle, space is premium.
Now, if they came with another 10.1 pro, I be on it, especially since I am in my return window..
Again, this thing is too big..

I think the weight doesn't matter and as long as u have a nice bag for it neither does size I don't think I ever heard someone saying hey I wish my tablet was 100g lighter plus the screen size just makes up for all of this

First impressions
Well, I've had my 32gb WiFi Galaxy Note Pro for 2 days now.
The screen is superb. I absolutely love it.
The size looks much larger than expected, in terms of feel, than my Note 10.1 2014 - a huge difference when watching video.
I have experienced no lag at all.
The TouchWiz UX is OK - but the magazine home screen I cannot get on with. The content is too restrictive and doesn't cover my interests. Also, you cannot remove the Magazine screen - grrrr!
Also have a problem writing to the micro SDCard - see my other post.
Still early days yet but a general 'thumbs up' from me.
Yes, I really want this, but first things first.
- I need to be able to sell my Nexus 10 for a decent price before I can buy this.
- I'll not be an early adopter/unpaid beta tester. I want lots of reviews (both pro and amateur) before I make a commitment.
- I suspect this tablet will be huge with the custom ROM community. I'll wait until there's some solid ROM development going on.

I've always found the 10" tablets too small to be really useful, in particular since I've almost always had a large phone with me. Currently the GN3. 10" was too big to carry in a pocket and too small to be useful on the go. So if I'm going to have to carry it in a bag/case, might as well go with a moderately larger screen size. But not too big so as to become heavy and bulky if I want to use it on a plane, vehicle, or even couch.
With this form factor, I'm hoping it'll fit right in between my 5.7" phone and 15" notebook, depending on where I'm going and what I want to do.
Mine gets here Friday. Yay.

Bought mine from BCC yesterday here in the Netherlands.
This tablet is simply amazing. The extra screen real estate makes it so much more useful. Makes you really wonder why no one else tried a larger display the last three years.

Not noticeably.
Only minor annoying thing is that some elements are just to large for this display, but that's a general Android thing. I'm afraid I gonna need to tweak the density (like it's done in the good old days).
Hope it will get rooted soon so we can run custom roms bye bye UX
Almost $840 after shipping and tax from Best Buy in the States. I may be a fool for spending nearly a thousand dollars on a tablet, but at least I know I'm not the only one. .. looking forward to getting my hands on it!

Are you buying the Nexus 6?

Hello guys
So for OnePlus One users.. Are you getting the new rumored 5.9" Nexus 6? If not, what feature/specs can make you change your mind?
I currently have a 64Gb OPO. I wasn't interested, but a friend sent me an invitation and I couldn't resist. So far I'm loving the battery, cyanogen and everything in general.. But I miss wireless charging and that "Nexus-Google" feeling.
I'll be upgrading my Nexus 7 to the new one for sure, and I'm probably getting the Nexus 6 to give it a try. What about you guys?
Got the note 3. Really wanted the 4 but been abit underwhelmed by it.
So i ordered the opo gonna set that up and play with it but it's abit to small screen wise and a bit to big real estate wise i think. So will give that to my dad.
I'm really tempted by the nexus 6 and i think I'll go for that.

Definitely won't buy it. 5.9 is too big for one handed use.
Hell, I sold my note 3 just to buy a Oneplus One!
depends.. really like opo, would like to try N4 (used N3 b4 opo) - i guess it'll all come down to price, specs, overall design (if it feels too big or just right)
I went from the N2 to the nexus 5, and I kinda like the smaller screen now. I'm on the fence about the N6. I'm moving to Korea so I'm going to wait until I get there to replace cellular devices.

That's cool. I like Korea (I'm assuming it's South Korea ). You might also wanna look at some Cat6 devices like the new G3 with snapdragon 805.

Nope! The note 3 is more of a square shape (wide) & flat, while the opo is a rectangle shape & curved.
BIG difference when in hand. Especially when you have a case on.

They're both rectangles, a square has equal length sides
The main differences are that the OPO has curved top and bottom, and it has smaller radius corners.
Transmitted via Bacon
The note 3 is a half centimeter larger.
BTW we know nothing about the nexus 6... i'm kinda curious about android L and ART, but from the 2 pics that we have, it seems too big for the average usage.. i don't think that it will fit in my pocket...
Next phone i will buy is the OnePlus One 2
Think I will get the n6, having owned an n4, n5 and n10 its the only right thing to do
I got my OPO last month, so I don't think I'll by a new one so quick.
The Nexus 6 looks great but we have to wait and see what users have to say about him after some usage.

South, of course . I work for the US Govt. They're relocating me to Seoul for a few years.
The two things that may keep me from buying the N6 are the price and storage capacity. I'm very happy with the OPO, you just can't beat it at $360 with the 64GB capacity. Motorola's new phones which the N6 may be borrowing hardware from just seem pretty mediocre, particularly the cameras, and I'm also not a fan of the design in general. I may consider it if it comes with a 64GB option or has a SD card slot, but all I've been hearing is that it will only come in 16GB and 32GB and no SD card slot. I had an N5 and I've always been a fan of the Nexus line of phones, but I now see them as mediocre devices compared to the OPO, but we'll see.
Depends on price. I'm pretty happy with the OnePlus the only thing is I'm on t mobile so I'm missing that one band and is like to get that.

I have yet to he impressed with a Motorola camera. Just got the OPO and came from a find 7a. Bought it specifically to avoid the upcoming nexus.
Maybe. I got this phone from Swappa using that PayPal no pay for 6 months. So essentially this is a trial. Ill wait til the next Nexus is announced before making a decision as I haven't risked anything with this phone yet.

Confused by you question / post. The OPO is missing a Tmo band?

I am no longer an owner of a Nexus 9 :(

Sadly, I had to return it today.
I loved it with all my heart but I barely used it and that didn't justify $426.
Maybe i'll try again next year.
Farewell
(I'll be at the Nexus 6 forum )
Applied for a return too. Loved the design and the hardware, but in actual use it does not justify the price tag.
Maybe I would have kept it if it was like $299, but converted to US dollars I paid around $500 for the 16GB in my current country. Not worth it by a longshot.
I returned mine. To HTC to fix the buttons and the light bleed issues. I was able to get the the 32GB version for 399 with 429 dollar price match at best buy from amazon, and 30 dollars worth of best buy certificates. I absolutely love the tablet, but if HTC doesn't fix the buttons and screen, I'll likely get a refund on it.
Your Loss!
I could see that. I got it for 250 and really enjoy it but don't think it is worth more than 350.

Bought and returned 3x looking for one with reasonable buttons and an acceptable amount of light bleed. To no avail. #3 is also going back, this time for good, until HTC gets some of these quality control issues in check.
It's a shame, because I really want to love this tablet. And I already sold my Nexus 7...

Yes, better battery, but I'm not so sure jb and/or apps running with jb haven't lowered it (iPad 3 ios8.1.1). I borrowed this iPad to try it since N9 quality is still a crap shoot. I love the display size and clarity. That's it. But, since having it for over a week, I scarcely pick up my N7 FHD (I hate the buttons on N7 so recessed buttons on N9 won't do--even using soft buttons). This iPad screen is much easier for me to read. JB was even simpler than with Nexus, but still not what I want. Personally, I think the N9 is about $80. overpriced, but I'll probably end up trying one ($50. off) before long.

My iPad's sit piled up with my iPhone 6 on top. I havent used them in about 2 months.. Don't have my nexus 9 or 6 yet so I can't actually compare. But I am not 75 and don't need to be in a walled garden of sorts (assisted living environment).. IOS is good for non technical people that don't want to really think. I just prefer the customization and unlock ability of android. Don't get me wrong I always stay current with both IOS & Android as they both make strides every OS revision.

I got the N9 to replace my paperweight N7 first gen that I managed to hard bricked doing a factory reset, and the bootloader is borked. Anyway, before the N9, I used my MBP 15" but now N9 travels with me around my house perimeter.

Sadly, I had to return it today.
I loved it with all my heart but I barely used it and that didn't justify $426.
Maybe i'll try again next year.
Farewell
(I'll be at the Nexus 6 forum )

You should get a Nexus 6 then!

Bought and returned 3x looking for one with reasonable buttons and an acceptable amount of light bleed. To no avail. #3 is also going back, this time for good, until HTC gets some of these quality control issues in check.
It's a shame, because I really want to love this tablet. And I already sold my Nexus 7...

I didn't want to play the lottery with Best Buy, so I sent mine back to HTC with specific instructions on what needed fixing. If they ship it back to me and it's not to my liking, I'll get a refund from Best Buy. I can live without the tablet for 7-10 days, and if they fix it, awesome.

Actually, good idea. If you wouldn't mind (and remember to) could you PM me when you get your tablet back. I'd be interested to know if they are able/willing to take care of the tablet's quality issues using this method.

Holy cheapness Batman! If I could afford another one, I'd get it as a backup. Best price yet.
Where was this earlier this year!!

No way it could have those specs for $300 when it came out. It was easily a $500 phone at the time. That means it would be well under $200 now, by your logic. Think.
Wow, best price for new N6 so far....
In which ways you guys think the Huawei nexus 6 will out perform the moto nexus 6????

How about these ways:
Camera - that shouldn't be hard. Just have a camera that can actually focus would be great while taking videos
Smaller bezels - I hope, the Nexus 6 has huge bezels which make it really wide, more than it should be
CPU - Even if it is the Snapdragon 810, the gpu is 30% faster. I am sure the overheating issue will be improved upon by now. Could always declock the cpu if needed
Fingerprint reader - Might be really cool, but I can take or leave this
Screen - I was dissapointed in the screen coming from a Note 3 to a Nexus 6. I felt the Note 3 had a brighter, clearer, more vibrant screen. Even if the resolution was lower.
Flat Back - Man it drives me nuts that when I put the N6 on the Qi charger I have to set it soo perfectly.
Just my opinion though.
there was also a coupon code for an extra 45 bucks off. crazy how the price is dropping so much.
doesn't seem to have much information on what type of warranty this nexus 6 has. I'd make sure you find all the information on that first before you buy. Might be better to go with amazon or best buy for the 50 bucks extra to make sure you get a solid warranty with it. If someone finds the information regarding it on this ebay sale please post it.
