^ That was in the news.. It's claiming Google is going to release an identical Nexus 10 to the one you have except replace the core with a 8 Core T628 GPU.
It reeks of B.S. but I have to ask if anyone else has heard this none-sense? Obviously the reason I ask. I'm not blowing $500 if Google is just going to play the shell game with internals.

It smells like BS because it is BS. Part of the appeal for the Nexus devices is, you get one a year. We wont see another 10" tablet until next fall. Google isn't going to screw over developers like that, the Nexus line is a reference line and thus by definition needs product stability.

Hehe, yeah I agree it's 99% BS, however I would like to see a Nexus 14 with 3840x2400 resolution (about 330ppi), and with 8-core Exynos CPU and Mali T678 GPU. Optional keyboard dock, dual boot Android 5.0 and Chrome OS...
Thanks. I 99.9% knew it was B.S. but I had to just throw it out there for the final .1%
I sit now with my new N10 32GB in hand.. :good:
Does seem like fake, but since I wasn't keen on buying the tablet after so many issues people encountered, but I think I wouldn't mind waiting another month see what's new @ MWC.
Been thinking about it myself. If they have HDMI or MHL out, I'm sold.

Depends on what the specs end up being and whether or not I get an Android phone (currently using an iPhone 5). I may do a flip and go from Android tablet/iOS phone to iOS tablet/Android phone... or I may ditch iOS altogether. I know what the vote would be on this forum

Hey, don't be that fast to assume. I own a lot of tablets and my iPad is almost always my go-to device, mainly because I personally have no use for widgets so most Android tablet launchers are wasted on me.
for sure
You never know. All Nexus devices are sold at cost.
One of the big downfalls of the N7 was the lack of Video Out. Although, now with Android Sticks and the Ouyas, I'm not sure if it is really needed anymore. My N7 works so well that it would be hard to give it up, but they are still super nice and possibly able to sell for $100+. Right now, I'd say no... but once it is released, I'm sure I'll pick it up. Something typically always surprises me and makes it a no brainer.
The price is low enough that selling your old device > new device makes it a great buy.
The sad thing is that I need to sell my existing devices. I have a brand new, in the box, Nexus 7 32gb and my current N7 32gb. If I pick up a new one, my old lady will flip her lid.
So I am in no rush to grab one and I will probably wait it out to see if it is really worth the upgrade.

The reason I'm considering getting an iPad (it would be a Mini, by the way) is because iOS 7 has actually impressed me quite a bit in day-to-day use. I've also fallen in love with Jelly Bean over the last 5 months or so of using my Nexus 7. That leaves me in a quandary where I'm not partial to either and there are some compelling reasons to have one of each, especially the combo I'm considering.
I was going to, but not anymore. I broke my 8gb n7 about two weeks ago and have a nice payout from square trade, but the issue is that now I need my tablet. I have grown impatient with Google's lack of released info this year on dates and prices, however its safe to assume its going to be more expensive. I decided to grab a 32gb n7 that's presently $199 instead. Its still a healthy upgrade for me and I can use my old cases and accessories. I also like to play with ROMs so the older device will of course have better support for awhile.

The lack of tablet apps kind of discourage me to get the next n7...
I've had a 16GB N7 for almost a year and it's been a great tablet. Besides one issue I had with it not charging it has worked VERY well. I've never had any of the (somewhat) common issues like screen separation and it's still plenty fast. With that said I recently returned a new 32GB N7 that I purchased for $199 at Microcenter. I'm glad I did because the 32GB model is now $30 less at Staples. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it - zero build quality issues and it seemed noticeably faster than my 16GB model. I just don't want to get stuck with last years hardware if the new N7 is a big upgrade at a similar price.
In my opinion, it's unfair to compare an actual, available device to rumors, so I'm going to wait for official specs & price for the new N7 before making up my mind which one to buy.
I totally agree with you that the 32gb model is faster, esp loaded with cm10.1 and lean kernel. I also had an issue with one if the 32gb units, the staples mgr and I figured out they had a batch of units from batch D20 that were all defective with various issues. He broke out a D10 and its flawless. FYI if anyone sees any issues with theirs and what batches to look out for.

IMO these company's need to learn to give us what we want. I want a HDMI out, SD card. If the new Nexus does not have it, I'm not buying it.
There are to many other company's willing to put out a device that has what I want/need, so they will get my business.
Besides, even the new Sero 7 pro does everything I need it do to. Why would I need to buy a new Nexus with a faster processor and better resolution when after all, it's just a 7 inch tablet, not a PC. Once it got to the point where HD movies and games played without pausing or stuttering, what's the point of a faster processor?
I'll get the next on when/if my 32g dies! Not before.

Am I the only one that thinks tablet apps look like crap on 7" tablets in portrait mode? On a 10" tablet, sure they are great...but that is because you use them in landscape. 7" portrait is just too cramped IMO. I am OK with the lack of true tablet apps on the play store.....once I get a nexis 10 my view WILL change though.
Also, depending on what the current nexus 7 is going for around here I might pick it up. Extra power, double ram, and higher re screen would be awesome.

Hi guys,
Youngest daughter has decided on a tablet for her 8th Birthday (birthday is end of August).
I think a 7" tablet will be more than fine for what she needs. So with all the 7" tablets around would you pick the Nexus 7 over all the others?
16GB WIFI will be the model I buy as I doubt very much she will ever get close to using up 16GB.
I've just spend a long time reading about the 2nd Generation coming out end of July - will the 2nd generation sort out the lag problems what occur over time with the 1st generation or is this 'lag' just rumours?

I think it's a better decision to wait for the 2nd gen Nexus 7, and yes, the first gen is a little bit laggy but if you stay with the stock kernel it'll be fine.
I have had a Nexus 7 for over 7 months and I have seen no signs of lag. Also there will be a 4.3 update which has fixed lag and touch responsiveness problems on the Nexus 4 so it will probably fix the lag problem on the Nexus 7. Nexus 7's are dirt cheap now and the 2nd gen won't be as cheap.

Lag....have'nt experienced any since january...CUZ I BOUGHT NEXUS 7 IN JANUARY...
A first gen nexus 7 is more than enough for an 8yo. Kids don't care about what cpu is in the tablet or about the screan resolution or what not. All they want is for it to turn on and play the games they install. The nexus 7 has more than enough prosesing power for all the newest games, and with the next gen coming out soon, the first gens are dirt cheap. In fact, you just convinced me to get one for my kid too :good: On a side note, I've had my n7 for 8 months and never had any lag. Good luck on your tablet choice and happy b-day to your kid.
I recently flashed back to stock 4.2.2 and did noticed more lag then a custom ROM + kernel. It might partially because I previously had the CPU overclocked with userspace governor.
Agree with other replies, I have had 1st gen since launch and haven't experienced any noticeable lag, and would highly recommend this.
Personally I would wait for a 2nd gen, but imagine there will be a price drop for 1st Gen too from Google if prices is a consideration....and the 1st gen will get 4.3 and other updates pretty rapidly too
Chris
OK - I will wait to see what happens with pricing of the 2nd gen vs 1st gen before buying anything.
My 8 year old won't notice any difference between a 1st gen and 2nd gen - however I will hehe, first thing I will be doing to it is flashing rascarlo and franco as that is what is on my Nexus 4.
Can't believe how many Nexus 7's are going up for sale, but the sad thing is people want far too much for them as they can't take the hit for how much they will lose through selling it for a 2nd gen replacement.
Tesco and Argos in the UK are both doing reconditioned units with 12 months warranty for ~£120 inc P&P.
Can't wait to order one and mess with it (I mean wrap it up for her birthday).
My six year old daughter got my 16 gig model hand me down when I got my 32 gig. She has had it for almost a year and loves it. I am running latest AOKP and FRanco kernel and everything runs great a good battery life. I got a pink rubberized case to go around it and has saved it from many falls. I highly recommend it for kids in my own personal experience.

Why do you need one? To do things, right? Kids are being brought up in a technical world and as a result start using/needing tech products earlier and earlier with each generation.

As was I, however this is a new generation. They are using more tech just for school work and they see their parents using things and want to emulate them. It also actually helps them learn and grow. It helps with hand eye coordination as well as learning/reading/entertainment. Like anything else moderation is the key, it is not meant to be a babysitter.

At 8 years old I was using my Dad's Mac SE/30 with a huuuuge 20 MB hard drive! And after my Bar Mitzvah I spent well over $1K of gift money a 486 IBM Aptiva. So a cheap N7 does not seem out of the question.
I would say, go with the 1st gen 16 or 32 gig. It's still a quad-core processor, and you may find lag issues improve in 4.3. Then again I'm a techie guy at age 31 and I seriously have not experienced any notable lag. The only thing is, the 1st gen has a lousy speaker and it may blow out after a while.
Also a piece of advice: Create a separate Google Play account and do not keep a billing method assigned to it. If you want to purchase anything on that account, add your credit/debit card to her account and make the purchases, and then remove the card again. Also, prepaid Google Play gift cards could be added to her account. This makes sure she will not trigger any unwanted or excessive in-app purchases. If you have apps you bought and want her to use them too, sign in with your secondary account, install them, and then sign out.
There are sooo many bright and colourful games that kids would love to play - and that support in-app purchases. Protect yourself

Get it for her!
I got my 6.5 yr old the N7 for Christmas (she's 7 now, bday in March). She got my 16gb WiFi version & I gifted myself the 32 gb version.
We've had no trouble with it. I got a cute pink case, tossed some Hello Kitty icons, themes & bam, good to go. She loves it & has no complaints.
No reason to get her the next-gen N7 - The original is a high-end enough device that it will last as long as it's taken care of & be supported for some time to come from Google (Android 5 in October, etc.). Save the $50+ you'd spend getting 2nd Gen & get her the 1st Gen with case, screen protector, cool stylus, & maybe some Play credit
Happy birthday to kiddo whichever way you go.
And to the person posting about being outside & playing at 8, sure. It's called a time limit on electronics. I'd rather she was playing on her tablet than watching TV. And 50% of the time she'd rather be outside swimming, playing soccer, running than inside, so I'm Ok with her having a tablet. Good way to build responsibility and another thing the help with rules and guidelines and making good choices...learning & development - mental enrichment NOT at the detriment of physical activity.
Hi guys...... I just want to know your reasons why didn't you upgrade to the new nexus 7.
For me, i dont think i need to upgrade because mine still working better using PA w/ faux kernel in it. I had issues before with screen flickerin, auto turn off when battery reaches down to 32%, slow charging...but it's all fixed now. Found a lot of ways solve the problem. Lagfix works better for me so i dont have any problems with lag.
Im also happy using OTG for sharing photos from my sony nex-5n camera. So i think i dont need a camera on a tablet.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
4.3 fixed the trim issue so nobody should have lag issues. I, like you, don't feel the need to upgrade. Mine does everything I need/want it to do. Sure I like nice new shiny toys but just can't justify $250ish, give or take a little depending on size, for something that performs all the same functions as last year's model.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I will upgrade at some point, but I'm not in a rush. Two reasons for that:
1) This isn't an essential device for me. Just a casual "toy" that's great to have. I still live and die by my desktop and I'll probably never fully fit into the mobile world (Still refuse to own a phone).
2) For reasons I can't explain...maybe the upgrade to 4.3 or the fact I added another router in my house that gets a strong signal to my N7, or both, this device is working smoother and faster than it EVER has. Browsing the net, in particular, is comparable to my desktop experience now. Bottom line: everything is fast and lag free.
So, yeah, I'd like to have the new one, but with my 1st gen working so well I can't justify the cost as it's not an essential piece of tech for me...
Well... I don't think it's available here in the UK until August 28. Or at least according to Wikipedia it isn't.
And even then I don't think I'll buy it... already spent more money on tech and software this year than I should have.
I'll probably wait, until the run up to Christmas, when local stores will be vying for competition... and as a result there'll be some cost cutting. Not by much I grant, but £10 or £20 shaved off the RRP sounds good to me.
Also, I'm never a huge fan of immediately buying tech just when it's been released - it usually comes with a cornucopia of bugs, hardware defects and other unpleasant idiosyncrasies. Give it five or six months, and those wrinkles will likely have been ironed out.
And in any case, 4.3 is running sweetly on my current Nexus 7... so much so, in fact, that I doubt I'll ever bother with Custom ROMs/Kernels.
I'm a man of simple tastes... Root, Nova Launcher and AOSP browser is all I really need. (+ some core apps).
Rgrds,
Ged.
I'm not upgrading because this one is still working and I have to save money to buy furniture and baby clothes.

Multirom is not yet available on N7 2013. I couldnt go to a tablet without a multiboot solution anymore. The ability to run 4.2.2 roms, 4.3 roms and Ubuntu desktop for n7 all at the same time has allowed me to be desktop and laptop free.

I'm waiting just in case they do the same thing they did last year and drop the lower end model and introduce a higher capacity one at the same price point. I was furious after buying a 16gb model in 2012 for $250 only to have them release a 32gb model for the same price a few months later! I'll gladly wait for a possible 64gb at $269 or even $299. If it hasn't happened by the time the Nexus 5 (or whatever they're gonna call it) drops this fall then I'll feel safer buying it (after I get my hands on the next Nexus phone of course...!). The good thing is, I already have a handful of people that want to buy my old one from me just cause they know it's already pimped and will include tech support (from me lol)

I've got 4.3, one of the main reasons I would upgrade. And my needs are very simple. Mostly forum reading aps, like this one. News, Wikipedia, the occasional web search, and YouTube.
The first gen handles that with ease. My 5" Phablet handles everything else.
So i will wait and see what is new in the future at this size.

As I live in the UK I can't even see the new model to appreciate just what differences there could be over an above that what I already have got with my 16GB Nexus 7.
But mine seems to be more than adequate to meet my needs.
I do, on occasion, get to use my wife's Xoom and with that being a 10" tablet I do like the screen size difference and I now seem to be more interested in the up and coming replacement for the Nexus 10 rather than this model. However price will be a big influence there.
Having already got a tablet I do not think of the value that they offer as a stand alone device, if that makes sense, but more of what they offer over and above what I have got.
I suppose that goes part way to explain why I'm not too much interested in the 2013 version of the Nexus 7.
I haven't upgraded yet because I remember how it went with the original Nexus 7: I bought one shortly after it came out, then a model with double the storage hit the market for the exact same price and the one I had dropped down.
I'll be waiting for the 32gb model to hit in November for the exact or near same price as the current 16gb model.
Why waste money on something I don't need?

Doesn't make sense, the aforementioned article mentions the Nexus 8 to have an 8" display running 1920x1200 with 8GB memory, those specs just seem like scattered rumors pieced together.
Oh well, we shall see.
There will be no more NEXUS devices released this year. There is NO new Nexus 10 & the Nexus 8 is only a conceptual device that has been submitted to Google by two manufacturers, with a third supposedly also working on a conceptual device.
When any of those devices are anywhere near a release, you will see VERIFIABLE evidence. Like FCC filings that actually make sense, not just someone blankly stating their is some mystery FCC filing without giving any evidence. You will also see things like service manuals & warranty documentation leak out. This happens with every device Google, or any Android partner, has ever made. There is actual supporting evidence, just like the Nexus 4 & 5 & the 7 & the 7 2013. So far there has been nothing even close to legitimate pointing to any of these devices being anywhere near a release. Just rumor, speculation & a few FAKED screen grabs.

I would love to see a Nexus 8 device released, but I'm afraid you're right. If Google was going to release one, they would have to do it now in order to take advantage of holiday sales. There is no good evidence for one, at this point, and the door is pretty much closed for this season.

Unless the phone size increases a whole bunch, next year's phone will be Nexus 5 (2014). Just like this year's Nexus 7.

There will be no more NEXUS devices released this year. There is NO new Nexus 10 & the Nexus 8 is only a conceptual device that has been submitted to Google by two manufacturers, with a third supposedly also working on a conceptual device.
When any of those devices are anywhere near a release, you will see VERIFIABLE evidence. Like FCC filings that actually make sense, not just someone blankly stating their is some mystery FCC filing without giving any evidence. You will also see things like service manuals & warranty documentation leak out. This happens with every device Google, or any Android partner, has ever made. There is actual supporting evidence, just like the Nexus 4 & 5 & the 7 & the 7 2013. So far there has been nothing even close to legitimate pointing to any of these devices being anywhere near a release. Just rumor, speculation & a few FAKED screen grabs.

What do you think of the LG - v510 then? It isn't g pad lte since that exists already: v507L.

Could just as easily be an LTE version for a different region, or even a carrier specific version. Again, no proof, just speculation & I seriously doubt even if it were a Nexus device that we'd see as thing this year.

Yeah, I also think Google will lauch the N10 somtime later this month
For Christmas Holiday, you know.
But I also believe "7" is better than "8". While if you go for 10 or above, then iPad is a better choice.
For the cost I would not say the iPad is better then the nex 10.

Dude, I HATE apple, but I will tell you flat out, hands down, the iPad & even the new KF HDX, both blow the Nexus 10 away handily. I use the N7 2013 as my primary, but have sold the N10 for an HDX 8.9 just as a media consumption device.
Samsung's processor & GPU is just inferior to the SD800 & adreno 330 & struggles with many events on the N10.

That's so obviously a fake render. No nexus cutout on the back? An Android 4.3 logo printed on it?

Wow, I just looked up the specs on that KF, what a beast!

I said "for the cost". The Ipad has drawbacks as well considering it does not use Android. I guess it just depends on the user as well. I know many people that have the Nex 10 and have never mentioned any "struggling" issues but again it depends on the user and the cost. While the Ipad may perform better and have a better display you will pay steeply for it. For me the extra cost just is not worth it plus I really can never go back to a system like that. I would honestly rather have a customizable system like Android with a little bit lesser performance, lower cost than have an expensive, fast device that I cannot really customize.
Just my opinion though bro.
For the cost, yep. The KF HDX is cheaper than the N10 was when I looked at the Play Store last week. As for performance issues, just check out Google's product & bug forum, or even the threads here. Horrible touch screen issues for many.
I use a N7 for most things & found myself using the 10" tabs for media consumption. I've had or have nearly every decent 8" to 10.1" tablet made in the last few years & the HDX is by far the best performing tablet I've used. Once gapps are possible, well my large tab search for near perfection is over for a while. Telling you, the SD 800 & Adreno 330 combo is amazing.

I really doubt it.
Nexus phones are usually 2 years apart. Maybe the nexus 5 got released a bit before the 2 year mark.
Tablets are usually staggered 1 year apart. Nexus 7 - Nexus 10 - Nexus 7 2013 and next is the Nexus 10 2014 edition.
I just wish there would be more apps that would more geared toward tablets and there would be more productivity involved. For example the stock calendar is absolutely horrible and there is nothing that really fits tablet and my fancy on google play.
