well, the nexus 7 has a better advantage with the processor, but the fire is better running because of a total specs list that makes up for the processor.

What fire HD spec is better then the Nexus? Only thing the Kindle fire has over the Nexus is, HDMI, better speakers and slightly better screen.
The Nexus is absolute the more powerful device.

You answered your own question. Spec is more than processor speed.
You pays your money and takes your choice !
What I think is fantastic is just how the Nexus 7 and KF HD offer really good devices for a modest price.
and no Apple margins to have to pony up for.
Both Nexus 7 and KF HD are very very good value for money. Pretty much at Cost.

I have both, I like both.
At Home I use the Fire HD
At Work I use a XYBoard 8.2 (I need the bigger screen)
Everywhere else I use the Nexus 7
Multimedia goes to the Fire HD hands down, My headphone pause control works on the Fire HD, but not on the Nexus 7. (and it works on the XYBoard too) The screen has better colors on the Fire HD. The speakers are AWESOME on the Fire HD. To watch a movie on the Nexus 7 without headphones, I have to cup the speaker with my hand. Forget trying to listen to music on the Nexus 7 without headphones.
Roadworthiness goes to the Nexus 7. It slides right into my pants pocket. The Fire HD...not so much - I can cram it in with some effort. I actually use the Face Unlock which is great when you are on the run. Google Now has pulled my chestnuts out of the fire on multiple occasions. (I carry a Verizon MIFI in my shirt pocket) The GPS on the Nexus 7 ROCKS.
But to tell the truth, the XYBoard is my favorite. It is thinner than either of the other tablets. The screen is as good as the Fire HD but larger The speakers are way better than on the Nexus 7 (but still not quite on par with the Fire HD) The GPS comes a close second to the Nexus 7. It is the same width as the Fire HD, so I can cram it in my pocket just like the Fire HD, but it doesn't slip in like the Nexus 7. Of course it cost as much as both the other tablets put together...:silly:

Does Nexus 7 have any rivals? I mean rivals with close performance?
In the same price range? Frankly, no. For the sub-$200 market, the nexus destroys anything else out there. The only competitor that comes close is the KF HD, but it mainly focuses on build quality, not raw performance.

Samsung makes a few 7 models, not directly comparable. The galaxy tab 2 has an sd card, rear camera, but not as nice of screen or processor. The 7.7 has an amoled screen but a higher price.

So I just sold my Acer a500 with hopes of getting 32gb nexus 7. But my gf raised a point of, is it worth it since your phone is already almost 5 in. So does anyone else have a large screen phone an still enjoy an think their nexus 7 is worth it? My dad offered me his transformer prime for $300 so now I'm thinking about that since its way improves over my a500.
I really just use my tablet for web browsing an viewing power points an documents for college. So, do you guys think its worth it if you have a large sized screen phone?

Yeah I have a sgs3. I held the 7 last night an the screen looked very nice an fit well in the hand. Just worried about downgrading to 7 from 10 in. But for what I used my Acer for, the 7 seems like it will be fine. Just like I said in my post about it being not "too" far off from my sgs3 4.8" screen.

For me personally the N7 is too small for web browsing, I don't like to zoom in and out all the time. I think that 8-9' is the perfect size, but I don't see Google making it anytime soon, so I'm going to buy the N10 as soon as its available.

There was no WiFi at Walmart where I had it so I couldn't try web browsing. So I can't really comment on zooming in an out. On my 10" Acer I still had to zoom in an out browsing the web. Though it depended what orientation I had it in. Landscape I could read as is, but portrait I had to zoom in a lot.

On my original Nexus 7, the sound chip is very bad, at max volume the sound isn't even medium loud on my headphones.
I use PowerAMP with bass boost and treble boost on (I listen to electro mainly.) How does the new Nexus 7 compare?
Also, can someone compare the new Nexus 7 to S III in sound quality on headphones? Mainly how long each can go? The old nexus is terrible compared to SIII.
The new sound chip is really really good. Like really good. I use similar headphones comfortabley at about 25-35% volume, Clarity is great, good DAC.
i agree as well. i like the new sound chip as i listen to trance. and to add the new speakers and layout work better as well

As stated in the thread you linked, this does not affect headphone output, only the speakers on the tablet's output so it's not entirely relevant to the OP's question.

I'm finding its close to my HTC One coming through the headphones. Won't go quite as loud and clear but it definitely has impressed me. By far better than the first gen nexus 7!
Is the sound good because it's good? Or is the sound good because of how crappy the OG nexus was? The sound is the only thing I hate. Headphones and speakers. Makes me wonder if mine is defective. Or maybe I shouldn't expect more from a budget tablet. Would love to see more opinions.

I find the sound quality through the headphone jack is just average. Kind of muddy to be honest. I thought the original nexus 7 had a better DAC than this new one. Speaker sound is of course better than the original

Don't have it on mine, but I do have a little dust on the upper left corner.
About the topic, I use my own custom made earphones, with superb bass, with AwesomeBeats mod. Works like a charm, though ViperFX also improves sound quality, I'm comfy with AwesomeBeats because its simple. Try any audio mod(requires rooting).
The sound on the 2013 nexus 7 is really good, I mean without headphones on it, it's totally another world from the first gen nexus 7.

I use the n7 mainly for browsing the net and some minor games. The n7 is only two inches bigger, but it feels and look much bigger than that. I also have the ipad3, but it's getting a bit uncomfortable and heavy for my taste, so this 7" tablet is just the right size for me.

The "2 inch bigger" tablet have over 2X the screen size of the GS4 (N7 22.08 inch^2 vs GS4 10.68 in^2) , It provide substantially better content consumption(Video playback/Ebook +Comic Reading) experience and web broswing. I can even comfortably read/edit Word/Excel with Kingsoft Office on it.
Not to mention the Super Bright LCD screen (538nits, GS4's AMOLED can't dream to match) & Stereo speakers.
I have the s4 rooted and an considering getting the n7 as well. Quick question. I haven't found the answer yet but is the memory expandable?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
I have a S4 and bought an Nexus 7 mainly because i want to read PDF and Word documents. S4's screen is to small to do this. But with 7 inch and FHD it is good enough to read letter/DIN A4 docs.Screen resolution does matter to me, so an Galaxy Note 8 or 10 was no real alternative. But I would have taken a Nexus 8 as well
I have both, definitely worth it for Web Surfing and video.

I've got both too. At first I thought why do I need it S4 does most things well. But at this price I couldn't complain. Been using it since yesterday and barely touched my phone.

What's that? Get the new N7? :laugh:
I just sold my Kindle Fire, so i need a new tablet. I have enough money for bothe but. So l, I thought why not a TF300? I found a $200 Refurbished TF300(32 GB) for sale so its a very strong competitor to the N7. I listed out the possibilities of the Cons and Pros.
TF300 (32GB)_________________________________•
Pros:
•Has a 10.1 in. Touch Screen with IFT.
•Has 32 GB of Memory.
•Has a actual ultrabook keyboard.
•Is made by ASUS.
•Has Android 4.1
Nexus 7 FHD(16GB)______________________________•
Pros:
•Has Super High PPI
• Has Android 4.3+
•Has a actual ultrabook keyboard.
• Its a Nexus
• Has 2GB of RAM
•Its made by ASUS
Cons of TF300:
•Has 1GB of RAM
•Doesnt have Official 4.2+ Support of Android
•Too large to travel
•Has Lower PPI
•Is a 1 year old device
Cons of a N7 FHD:
• Has a 16 GB Memory
• Has Build as well as Screen and Hardware Problems
• Vulnerable to Break Downs
• Screen is too small
Help me decide which is better, please.

Are you worried about performance? Cause the new Nexus is a LOT faster than the TF300.
Just using the devices will show you that. The TF300 is no slouch don't get me wrong, but the I/O performance coupled with the 1GB ram and (now outdated) tegra 3.. just doesn't stack up to the Nexus. If you can live without the keyboard and don't mind a 7" screen, go for the Nexus straight away.
The thing is there are soooooooo mmmaaaannnnny problems with the N7 that you just don't want buy it but the hardware is too good.

Its smaller, battery is better, screen is better, vanilla Android, faster processor... If you want to store all your data on one device, then I'd steer you to the tf300, otherwise, go with the n7, without a doubt.
And an FYI, I had the first n7, and had zero issues as well. I have sent my tf300 in twice for warranty work.

It connects to bluetooth speakers just fine, but you'll have to try you luck with bluetooth keyboard. It will connects to an Apple bluetooth keyboard, but a key will hold every minute or so. Which makes it unable. Then I have this motorola bluetooth keyboard that won't even connect at all. The multi touch issue was fixed in a recent update. There is also a problem with the GPS locking up in one location which I'm not sure if it was fix during the update.
