New tablet after a Nexus 7? Here is a worthy successor! - Nexus 7 (2013) General

Lenovo Tab 4 Plus
http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_tab_4_8_plus-8603.php
It's slightly bigger than the Nexus 7, but not so much by comparison, as you can see here from a side by side:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/vYDGB1BfzbWjhO9t2
Better specs, clean Android, beautiful screen and very, very well made hardware, with the additional Plus of having an SD-card slot. By now I am on my 4th Nexus 7, which I mainly use use for eBook reading and some casual gaming, but the problems with the USB slot and the easily defective memory are a nuisance and I have been on the market for an alternative for more than 3 years. The Tab 4 for me is that alternative.
I've had it for a couple of days now and while it is not wildly popular (yet), there is already TWRP available AND root through Magisk.
Finally a decent tablet with USB-C, nice hardware, very good screen time (basically sames as the Nexus 7) and an up to date Android version without significant bloatware (Except for Microsoft Office, which you can uninstall easily, since it's not a system app).
I hope to see a thriving community around this tablet; it's worth it and will please those who have been happy with their Nexus 7, but are looking for a more modern piece of hardware as a successor.

Lucky me I am still on the first one from day one ?
Just have to charge wireless since 6 month. Bud there is no factory Image coming so as long as custums are coming I am good to go. But the Lenovo looks promising

nvidia shield tablet....best

So this runs stock Android? If so, may be my next tablet.

I think 2gb is enough for games

AGREED!!!
When i first saw this, i thought, this is the only upgrade to my 4 year old nexus 7....but sadly lenovo did not launch the 4/64 version in India....i don't know what to buy now..iPad looks like the only choice

I'd suggest the Huawei T2 7.0 Pro. I have both it and the Nexus 7. The Huawei is lighter, smaller, better battery, slightly better CPU/GPU, Micro SD slot, fingerprint sensor.
Oh and it can take a micro sim and be used as a cell phone.
The only negatives:
Only works on 2.4ghz wifi
Android 5.01 only currently
No NFC
No wireless charging
Otherwise it is a worthy successor. There are tons of 8" tablets available but for sheer portability (and why the nexus 7 was so popular in the first place), the T2 is a viable option.
Huawei also had the Media Pad X2 7.0 which has far superior hardware but I have been unable to find one to purchase anywhere.
I also used the Nexus 7 primarily as an E-Reader (I have had it with junk E-Ink devices, kobo and kindle are garbage)
but my Nexus 7 has a stuck reboot loop issue if it powers down.

Not only that, it's also got Micro-USB, not USB-C. Deal breaker.
Same goes for the Huawei, Micro USB.
The Lenovo is also availble in an LTE version. I don't need that, got a nice phone with an international contract as hotspot, so no more additional contracts for me, WiFi does the job for me.

The Lenovo does look like a solid device. For me the size though is a no go. Plus I have not seen it for sale anywhere in Canada. No clue what the supposed release date is.

What about superfish?

What tablets run stock Android or very close to? I want a tablet that will get new major Android releases.

Pretty much only the Nexus 7 is stock.
That doesn't seem to matter though. Google discontinued updates on the Nexus 7 after Android 6.0.1.

Agree, and I see no sign of them releasing a new tablet anytime soon.

Ya, I gave up waiting. Hence the Huawei that I have been using.

I just pulled mine out of the closet to check for updates and can't believe it still has a better screen then these Xiaomi phones I keep buying.

As bad as it's going to sound. I'm glad Apple is finally in the wireless charging game. Ya know they're likely to drop an iPad with it soon, and this may inspire the creation of other wireless charging tablets. It's really the only thing holding me back from replacing the Nexus 7 2013.

Mi max 2 ... Snapdragon...big battery..usb-c....not expensive

Nexus T?

http://androidheadlines.com/2011/05/rumor-10-inch-toshiba-tab-is-nexus-t-and-google-io-swag.html
what do you guys think? will this be the nexus tablet? i sure hope it is.. as i am still waiting a announcement from google i/o before jumping into XOOM...
i should had have my xoom weeks ago, but my supplier delayed me.. and now google io is just a week away, i sure hope they announce that this is the nexus tablet.
and i quite like the specs. (don't mind it being heavier and thicker).
it has HDMI port (i belive is full size, not mini), USB port, mini USB port and a dock port as well.
the only thing missing is a micro SD card? but if the USB and mini USB works, we can just plug in any card reader.
But it is ugly. As you said, thicker and heavier. I hate that silver thingie.
Oh my, i hope this is not google nexus tablet.
Website says it does have an SD slot.
I am curious what the retail price on it is. if it is above or below Xoom mainly.
i hope it isn't a Nexus Tablet. I mean the specs are pretty dam close to the Xoom. Its like the Nexus S all over again. anyone who has a tablet already has no reason to buy it. Now if it had a Tegra 3 in it and not a 2 then yes it would be something to buy. I mean the USB port is nice and all but really the Xoom has a SDcard slot kinda the same to me.
how about the battery life.
it suppose to be 3x better than normal lithium battery plus its interchangeable..
my concern is always about updates coming stright from google.
at the moment, xoom's update comes from motorola, not from google directly.
hence at the moment, i am holding off xoom untill after google IO....
Pretty positive that at I/O there will be welcome packages of either the Nexus S 4G and the usual T-Shirt. At the keynote, I think they'll announce that everyone's getting either the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Xoom.
All I know is that it is what I am getting, I just purchased the Xoom to hold me over until it was released, my return date for the Xoom is in June when this is to be released. I hate motorola products but wanted something to see what Honeycomb was like and since this was the only one worth getting at the time well the only one that was around.
Acer and Asus are worse than Motorola, have owned laptops from both and quickly disposed of them!!! I have three Toshiba computers and like them very much, plus the back of that tab can be replaced with different color backs just like a silicone case and that is the ONLY tablet with a removable battery!!!
This is the link to the tab's web site. http://thetoshibatablet.com/
hmm good point made in the comments over there ... both front and back cameras are in portrait mode... Honeycomb is made for landscape mode use...this looks like a potential 2.2/2.3 tablet... hardly a Nexus.
Doubt it's the nexus tablet.
Evo Better Than The Best...
i guess we just have to sit tight till google IO to find out. which ever it is, as long as google is going to provide the update, i am getting that.

Yea this is a really big indicator. Honeycomb's UI is almost exclusively made for widescreen landscape use, not portrait. Not sure why they'd have the cameras set up for portrait use.
No, it is a Honeycomb tablet.

The xoom although receive updates from Motorola but it has no custom skins or anything anywhere whatsoever. So, xoom or nexus tablet are both good choices. Plus, the xoom were given away at either CES or mwc by google. That proves the xoom is already one of the few chosen kids.

Can't wait till io to see what happens I'd like an official Google Tablet I felt our Xoom was but looks like its not. Well hope Motorola takes good care of us

weird camera placement for a honeycomb tab then. very weird.
love the XOOM cameras ... they're both very very good.
I'd guess it is simply being called 'Toshiba Tablet' judging on the URL etc.
and why not?
Also with the Xoom being out and about - I can't imagine Google needs a Nexus X device for a tablet? wait till 3.1/4.0 for another Nexus device?

[Q] Nexus 4, or Nexus 10? Which one would suit me more?

I realize it's a comparison between a phone and a tablet, but I really don't know which one to get at this point, so I'm hoping some people can possibly help me out
I was mainly interested in the Nexus 4 because of it's portability, camera (8MP), and it has cellular, which I might find useful. I haven't really messed with smaller Android devices though for too long (used 7-inch tablets), so I don't know how well I'll fair with the screen size. I also heard recently that the Nexus 4 wasn't on AOSP, and haven't really seen anything official saying it would ever be supported...
The Nexus 10 is clearly going to be a "slight" issue with portability. The camera is only 5MP, but I really don't know too much more then that (I'm sure there's other aspects to consider when comparing cameras other then megapixels). The screen size sounds amazing, and would be pretty entertaining for gaming and movies, and the resolution is even nicer. And from what I heard, this is the best device for AOSP currently Has no cellular however, but then again I don't think I would want to be using this thing for a phone either (perhaps I can get a hotspot?)
Hardware is another concern. If I assume right, the better the hardware, the longer the device will be supported by Google. With this in mind, the Nexus 10 would be the last device in the latest list of devices to stop receiving higher Android versions, due to the system specs (has more power to run later Android versions basically). Also, hardware determines how smoothly the device would operate as well. I'm certain that both the Nexus 4 and 10 can do the usual tasks without any issue at all, but gaming-wise, I feel the Nexus 10 would be better.
I also have a slight interest in trying to develop for Android in the future, with apps.
So basically:
Nexus 4 Benefits:
- Portability (main)
- Cellular
Disadvantages:
- No AOSP (yet anyway, if ever)
- Go out-of-date quicker
Nexus 10 Benefits:
- Hardware (main)
- AOSP
Disadvantages:
- Portability
- No Cellular (could maybe just get a hotspot though, idk)
As it stands currently, I can't really purchase either device at the moment (I don't have the funds or card from PayPal yet, Nexus 4 is out of stock, and Nexus 4 is a tiny bit more then I have in my PayPal currently). So I have a little bit before I can make a decision anyway Any help would be nice though.
Bump
The only thing lacking on the hardware side for the N4 is the screen resolution. If it were 1080, that would've taken the cake. Everything else about the phone is top notch, which is much more than can be said about the GNex which had weak hardware to begin with. So I don't see the N4 as going out of date anytime soon.
Honestly all it's going to come down to is one is a phone, and one is a tablet. The N4 can do pretty much everything the N10 can do, just on a smaller scale.
I have a N4 arriving tomorrow, and am considering getting the N10. The N4 will be mostly a tool for me whereas the N10 would be for entertainment and possibly productiveness (organization, notes, typing, etc.), plus the N4 could provide a hotspot for the N10. I'd be using the N10 for browsing when possible, and gaming when desired. I feel like browsing on a tablet is much better than on a 4 inch phone, but that comes at a price of at least $399 which I'm not sure I am going to be able to justify. I also may look into the whole watching TV on the tablet scene, and possibly movies, but other than those few things, I have no idea what I'd use a tablet for.
none because its impossible to buy
If you're between the 4 and the 10, why not consider the HSPA version of the Nexus 7? More portable than the 10 and has the cellular data, but still has a larger screen than the Nexus 4.

Yeah that's true, I just need to figure out which device I would want sooner then possibly later. I like the thought of a larger screen for some gaming, and I feel it might be more useful around the house, and nice to take to bed to do some reading and stuff.
Not sure how gaming would really be on the Nexus 4; I mean it would be possible of course, I just don't know if I would quite enjoy it as much on a smaller screen.
With NFC, I did like to pay for things at a fast food place and pharmacy downtown when I had my Nexus 7, and people found it pretty cool The factor of paying with NFC exists for both the 4 and 10, although I do wonder what people's initial response would be if I tap a 10-inch tablet to the pay pass lol. Taking pictures outdoors in public is probably another case where a phone might be a more "acceptable" device to use, instead of a 10-inch tablet (there was some pretty funny picture posted on xda on N7's forums I think with someone using an iPad to take a picture in a group of other people with phones and cameras)
Kinda wish I had both devices to test before buying lol... maybe I should just make cardboard cutouts for both and see how convenient each would be for some tasks

I had the Nexus 7, but idk. I mean it was a pretty nice device, but both the 4 and 10 have better hardware. Plus I kind of wanted to try out a different form factor other then 7-inch

Who's getting one and why?

Hey all
HTC has hit us with the latest "Nexus" tablet, the Nexus 9. It's a bit different from other tabs being released atm, It's gone down the apple route with its display ratio, a 4:3 number. I can see the benefits of this for ebooks and PDF's etc, but have we all got used to the 16:9/16:10 ratios of most android tabs? Both have their pros and cons, thoughts?
We also see a Dual-core processor, something that is different as most tabs now tout at least a Quad-Core affair, would this be a major factor in the decisions made when considering this device?
Its great to see HTC back in the tab game, i for one hope to see more, maybe with the sense UI:good:
So, who will be grabbing one of these?

I'll be getting one! Well, don't under estimate the processor, were talking Tegra K1 here. It did even beat the 2012 Mac Pro in single tread test.
Because it's a nexus ! Great development! To many to list
That Dual core Denver K1 is the most powerful processor at this moment
The scary thing is even it runs way low clock speed to what it is capable of(2.3Ghz>3Ghz),it still out perform Apple's A8 chip on both single thread and multi thread
And dat the GPU it is just pure massacre
The only thing disappoint me is the storage,but I'll get a otg flash drive to see how it works
Me and laptop replacement
I've got a 32GB white one pre-ordered. I've been wanting a ~8" tablet for a while now. This being a nexus device and the best SOC available atm made it an instabuy!
simply its a NEXUS 9
and its the best + i need an upgrade from my nexus 7 12
I have a tab 12.2 right now and it's just to heavy haha. The nexus 9 is like 50% lighter than the tab pro 12.2
I preordered mine (32 gig white version). I'm getting it for two reasons:
- My 2012 Nexus 7 has run its course. It's too laggy and slow in every task.
- I was waiting for a true upgrade spec wise, and the Denver Tegra K1 ticks all the right boxes:
ARMv8 based cores with 7-way superscalar and in-order execution. Even ARM's cortex-A57 is no match for this, which means qualcomm needs to design a new core in order to catch up with nvidia and apple
GPU performance currently unmatched in the mobile space. The Geforce ULP in the previous Tegra chips was terrible and an outdated architecture. Kepler is a huge upgrade.
I need a tablet mostly for the consumption of PDFs and other documents for work. Up to this point, the iPad was the ideal device due to its 4:3 aspect ratio. Now I have a large high-end device to go with since I do prefer the Android ecosystem over iOS.
I also do not have a tablet at the moment, so might as well spend on a device that would be my main device.
My first tablet was an Nexus 7, then I made the move to an iPad Mini, then back to the N7 2013, I have no tablet atm... But the N9 has a decent sized screen. Is made by HTC and Looks good, so yeah, I'll purchase one.

Well, I always had iPhone's up until the 4S was released, was then I switched to Android (S3) - As for tablet, it was easier for work having an iPad as I couldn't use a rooted Android for work.
I always used to say "If Apple built a bigger iPhone, I'd probably switch back" but I haven't seen the need. Not an Apple lover nor hater, to me an iPhone/iPad are superbly built devices, it's all personal preference. There is still Apple products in my household, I just choose not to use them. (except my Macbook)
Android and iOS= its like Liverpool and man united (love Liverpool and f&%£## hate man u.
Never used iOS or even want to! Would feel like I cheated on the Mrs!
Long live android
Just being honest. ?
Bug!
ordered the 16gb black model cause although i loved both n7s they were a bit small and i find i used them for 90% non-gaming/video watching so 4:3 is very appealing... also really like that htc is involved because of their build quality..

Well done! See you around
Got it for the 4:3 ratio. I read on my tablet 90% of the time and this screen will be ideal for it.
Other reasons...Android is the best OS for tablets hands down as far as I'm concerned and this comes with very little bloat. Lots of development support. Battery life should be great. Speed, it will be fast as hell, expect zero lag. I think this will be the (near) perfect tablet for me.

[Q] Where do we go next from the OPO?

I can't seem to desire any other phone. I love the display, I love the size. Speed is good. Battery is very good (running stock CM). Not to mention the price.
Also - I love the hardware buttons (I think software buttons - like in the nexus 6p for example - are a waste of screen real estate).
Anyone upgraded and was happy doing so?
I'm in the same boat as you, my phone is almost 2 years old now but i feel no need to upgrade. Unless you live in a area with faster than 150mbs lte, want a finger print scanner, or a crystal clear screen, i would just keep it until the op4.
Had the One for just over a year now and don't feel the need for an upgrade. When I do end up upgrading this phone, it will not be another OnePlus device. The 2 and X have shown little improvements as successors to the One. There will be better options when the time comes
The OPO really opened me up to the modding capabilities of android. As so many people had grabbed the phone and experimented, there was lots of support. CyanogenMod was a key factor in my decision to get it, and I agree with @kenboyles72 : The 2 and X haven't improved enough for me to want to upgrade.
Also, there's nothing wrong with the OPO, even two years old. It still outperforms most of my mates devices
will be a better unit. BUT not that too soon.
opo will be still outstanding unit at least few more years.
Used to handle HTC models prior to opo
really appreciated opo unit.
appropriate in many ways.
I'm going to wait for the OnePlus 3 to see what it has in store, and if the price is high or it doesn't impress me with it's design and such, I'm going with the Xiaomi Mi5. I mean 4GB of RAM, Snapdragon 820, Fingerprint Scanner, Marshmallow, Good Camera, Awesome design and 64GB of storage for ~700AUD, I'm sold.

Is it bootloader unlocked? Or do you plan on staying on stock for several months hoping for some AOSP support only to switch again? Most of the time it's better to wait and see how popular a device is before buying as the more popular a device is the more likely it is to get a good development scene

Boot loader is locked and honestly I don't care. I don't care what Android skin I use, everyone makes a big fuss about oh I can use this and ew Touchwiz and what not and honestly I don't care. I use Google Messenger for texting, Snapchat, Reddit and Facebook Messenger. I'd be lucky to make an hour of phone calls a week. I install Google Now Launcher on the device and an icon pack, the main interaction I have with MIUI is the status bar and recents apps menu. Like looking at this, you wouldn't even know it was MIUI underneath.

OP3 or whatever ~5" Nexus device(s) come out this year.
Went to a Nexus 5x already, but keep leaning back to the OPO that's still lying around.
After The opo will be useless at 2018 i will looking into new battery techs
i was thinking to Nexus 6p, but I've see now the 820's snapdragon devices.... So I think I will wait for sure the next Nexus, if it will be nice i will buy that... And obviously, have a look to opo4
I'm waiting on the note 6... after it gets a custom recovery.
One plus 3 ( if specifications equal or above opo ).
Maybe mi5 when price drops or Next Nexus, opo is still uncomparable as price/quality ratio
Using this thing until it is too slow to use day to day...did this with my HTC g2 and m7. When they start to lag behind too much and battery dies too often, it was upgrade time. I always make sure lots of memory is free for performance.
Sent from the one and only Oneplus One
thus is cool but i am worried if there is hope of android o for us with this one or any good custom roms or any new holy **** kernels as i donot see dev with opo2 then what with opo3 opo 4 will dim
S7 Edge on Tmobile's buy one get one free deal.
I was just browsing the subforum and happened to come across this. I personally own the X which is essentially a more compact One with an AMOLED screen and expandable storage.
I would say keep the One. It's a great phone and if you compare performance of the X to the one, I'd say that there isn't a reason for you to upgrade to anything at all. If you must, go for the X. It's really a side grade if anything as both devices level one another out on terms of HW, but in all honesty, keep what you have. You guys have the best ROMs, the best revision of the 801, and the best kernels after all. Enjoy what you have.
I've had inconsistent performance with the GPS on my OPO. I'm really tempted to get a 5X now that it's $200 (plus that first month of service, right?). Didn't know how important the GPS would be to me.

Why on Earth doesn't the Pixel C have Vibration/Haptic Feedback or GPS?

I have an aging Samsung Galaxy Tab S and I've been looking for a replacement, but I'm having a LOT of trouble finding anything without fewer features. I got an Asus ZenPad 3s 10 yesterday and poor GPS, a lack of a vibration motor, and the small screen, 4:2 aspect ratio is prompting me to return it and look for something better. I thought I could settle on the Pixel C because it at least has a somewhat larger screen than most of the current model tablets, and it has a LITTLE wider of an aspect ratio, but then I find out that it lacks a vibration motor, which means I won't be able to get silent notifications, and it doesn't even have GPS!
Both of these are important features to me because I have bad eyesight. I need Haptic Feedback for the on-screen keyboard because it helps me type, and I tether my tablet to my phone for Google Maps/Waze to help my wife navigate.
I don't understand why Google's "Flagship" tablet would not only drop down to such a ridiculous aspect ratio, but also drop what seems to be basic functionality that ALL of the other Android devices have seen, from the T-Mobile G1 to the cheap $99 Black Friday tablets that my sister-in-law has bought for her kids.
It just doesn't have it. No need to ask why. Google is not going to respond to it. And most likely Pixel C is in his last days anyways.
but i do agree with you, Pixel C is a very nice tablet, but very poor features. no vibration, no NFC, no MicroSD, no SIM. It does have GPS i think

GPS wouldn't make sense in a tablet any way
The pixel c is still the best android tablet you can get
Vibration motor...not really needed you wont miss it for long
GPS....doesnt need it because theres no 3g/4g model so maps works fine over wifi
NFC.....again unless your planning on making a payment with your 10.2 inch tablet why would you need it
Ridiculous ratio?? Nothing ridiculous about it...nice landscape or portrait...everything displays and works normally
vibration would be nice when using on-screen keyboard, yeah i miss it
and about that gps missing:
oh well, guess not, don't know why it says GPS, GPS apps say there's no internal GPS, weird, would make a nice navigation for in the car

The lack of GPS was annoying because I got this tablet JUST to have in the car. So the choices were to get a Galaxy instead of keep the C and use an external BT GPS unit. Since Samsung is so horrid about updating its tablets (I already had one, the lack of updates on that one is why I was having to buy another one! I ended up buying a Dual XGPS150A from Amazon and hard-wiring it to my truck. Works perfect!
I tether mine to my phone and get location information that way. I use Google Maps on teh tablet while diving.

the pixel c seems to me one of the best tablet there is, you have it for a long time? Do you use it only at home or do you usually take it to more places?

I had for a year or so. Ive been completely anti apple for a long time but got an ipad pro for work and i must say i love it....everything works better and its built for the bigger tablet size format. I still prefer android but unfortunately there isnt really premium android tablets being made now. The s3 seems good but overpriced for an older processer and samsung software with very little updates. I loved my pixel c but its over 2 years now and it is cumborsome so i sold it...but if you need an android tablet i would still recommend the pixel c over anything else
