[discussion]Getting the nexus tablet?

I'm basically in no matter the specs as long as it's below $250.
I just sold my galaxy tab 10.1 for lack of a development community.....

Yeah the cheap price point is good, I'm debating on giving up on my a500 but i do want a smaller device, a ten inch tablet is a little uncomfortable most of the time

The gtab has AOKP. That's all you need

Tegra 3 + IPS Display with decent build quality and around $200 is what's making it easy to pull the trigger. I have to pull it though because it's running Jelly Bean, and will be up-to-date in comparison to any other tablet.

I might be selling my gtab 2 with omap4460 chipset and wolfson 1811 sound chip soon.
...

Pretty sure I'm in. Only question is whether or not to sell my xoom.

I *want* to be in because I like my GNex phone so much. But I'm not sure about the whole 7" thing. If I want real portability I'll use my phone. I'd rather have a 10+ inch display on a tablet which makes magazines, newspapers, Google Reader more enjoyable. I'm not sure I get the whole 7" tablet idea (for any manufacturer). Seems like just a big phone that starts to limit the things you can do with it.
What bag can you carry a 7" tablet in that you can't carry 10"? Do people really look at a 10" tablet and think they will have trouble carrying it around compared to a 7"? (serious question).

Not sure about the 7 inch form factor...i do know that the ten inch felt too big to me on the galaxy tab.
I'm also not convinced about the utility of a tablet.between my wife and myself we have 3 laptops,2 chromebooks, 2 newish Android phones (gn+gs2) and a kindle.
I just don't understand what a tablet does better than the rest of that.
BUT,i love geeking out with the roms, etc...so I'm in on the nexus7...

Any ideas if the little fella will come with a sim slot for mobile data?
That'll be the deciding factor for me.

I probably will buy it. But I Love the form factor of my galaxy tab 8.9 it is large enough to get more information on the screen, but not to big where you might as well have a laptop. I think that's the best tablet size IMO.

I was really interested but I'm not so sure I can justify it. I already have two "bastard" android Tablets. An hp zeen with no market or apps (7"), and an HP touchpad where most games are blocked or don't work (10", 3:2). I would really like something a bit bigger than 7" or something with an amoled screen, but it will be nice to have something with better support.

I want to pick one up, but the tab 2 7.0 is running pretty strong for me.

Definitely getting this. Trying to sell my Tf101 but I really like the dock support so I might keep both xD

Depending on the screen resolution I'll pull the trigger on one. Even though my hp touchpad is running strong. :thumbup:

I sold my Thrive awhile back for $200. This would make a good replacement.

Its coming asus I think has been the confirmed maker of this, either android central or android police have had a benchmark or something of that info. It might also debut with jelly bean or ics 4.1

Give me a nexus tab 10.1 for $300 and I'm sold.

For sure I plan on one... not sure though if I'll unload the Xoom or not though, it's been good to me

Anyone getting a nexus 7 to go along with their Galaxy nexus?

Am highly considering getting a Nexus 7 to go along with my GSM galaxy nexus. the attractive price point, Specs, and size are what make me want the device. Have a OG transformer that ill give to my little sis with a keyboard and i replace that with this. Anyone have any objections to getting this bad boy? Only gripe i have is that it only goes up to 16GB! That and after using it for a while, my Gnex might feel small to me.

I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and order one $200 seems like a pretty awesome deal

just did for the 16 gb model.

Yup, ordered the Nexus 7 16 GB. I was planning on getting a Motorola Xoom (Currys were selling them for £130 but it turned out they were just lying about having them) so this seems a good substitute.

I'll be getting one. Have an A100 at the moment as I prefer the 7" tablet size but there is no dev scene on that thing and what can beat the dev scene of a nexus device?

Yep. Probably gonna get the 16 gig one in maybe month or so.

Do you guys know if a white one will be available in the future?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I am toying with the idea but I just sold my CM9'd touchpad due to lack of use because my GNex is serving me so well. Perhaps as a hack toy but that's why I bought the Touchpad.
Every nerd needs a hack toy...

Don't see the point, for me.
I have the iPad 3 and a Galaxy Nexus, and both are serving me good for what they do. The Nexus 7 just seems to be a Galaxy Nexus with a faster CPU and a bigger screen... It doesn't replace my iPad and doesn't do more than my Galaxy Nexus.

I am still not sold with the phone interface on 7" tablet.
And 16GB is too small ... without Micro SD card for tablet.

Looks like a nice bit of kit, but'll stick to my Xoom
I'm more anxious about getting jellybean on it than my nexus for the vsync

ordered it yesterday... 16g

Well after honestly thinking about it, i'm going to cancel my order in the morning. I seriously thought about it and i came to the conclusion that me having a gnex will ruin my experience. Honestly it will literally be our phone which is 16gb without any removable storage with a 7inch screen and some better specs running Jellybean that looks like it's in phone mode.. unless there are some features or value that i'm not seeing, pre-order remorse got the better of me.

I am, I am tired of my a500. Wi-Fi sucks and a teen inch tablet is not as comfortable as seven inch is

Definitely £150 is a no brainier. I'll probably give it to my girlfriend to use and continue using my HP Touchpad but that plan will probably change when I get my hands on it :-D

How's the procedure with Europe, it's cool that u guys from the states are able to get it from the playstore, but what about us guys in EU? Are there any news about that?

Just ordered mine now.

Anyone come from a Nexus 4?

I have never had a non-Nexus device. Nexus One, GSM Galaxy Nexus (great phone), and now Nexus 4.
The Nexus 4's battery just plain sucks. That's why I'm thinking of coming over to the Note 2. At least the galaxy nexus let me carry a spare battery I could pop in whenever I needed.
Anyways, my question is, what are the more subtle differences you've noticed, and perhaps you miss from the Nexus? I'm not talking about the obvious stuff like battery life, screen size, s-pen...
One thing I can think of is that I heard light flow doesn't properly work with the Note 2 or the S3. I rely on that app at work a lot to tell me what kind of notifications I'm getting.
Are there other things that you miss from the Nexus, or that you found pleasantly surprising on the Note 2?

I have a galaxy nexus on Verizon. And my note 2 att. I don't miss too much from the nexus. The bloat ware being the largest difference in my eyes. There is so many programs running in the background on this note. You just dont get that on a nexus.
Since I can root my note I have no complaints.
I use my nexus now just for the 4g lte free tethering and phone calls.

I just sold my Nexus 4 the other week because of the poor battery life and build quality. I loved the glass panels but I was always worried about cracking either side. I now have the Note 2 and I can't say that I miss much from the Nexus 4. It is made of plastic, but it is very durable. You can run AOSP ROMs on the Note 2 without many bugs and still get considerably better battery life than the Nexus 4. I have yet to touch a charger at all during the day with my new Note 2, unlike my Nexus 4 that I was always charging. And I consider myself a moderate-heavy user.
I am much more satisfied with the Note 2 than my Nexus 4.

I miss the fact that I would have had the latest updates and best dev support for 1+ years. Otherwise, like everyone else said not much. Certainly a better feeling device, but the note 2 isn't bad.

With a Verizon nexus it has never been updated in a timely manner. I think I was reading somewhere it was 4 updates behind. Smh. Don't miss that one bit.

You can thank Verizon solely for That, and for being the main reason the nexus 4 won't ever be on CDMA.

I'd say no, and personally I hope not. Verizon is the root of all cellular evil. Sprint and T-Mobile seem like the only ones trying not bending Google over.

I had the Nexus 4 for two weeks then moved to a T889.
I actually really liked the Nexus 4's screen -- sure it seemed washed out in comparison but it was very easy to look at for long periods of time. The screen was also incredibly smooth in terms of surface roughness -- your fingers glided so easily over it it seemed like a shame to put a screen protector on.
My Nexus 4's battery was only "okay" after installing franco kernel, disabling logging and setting max processor speed to 1GHz.
The Nexus 4 felt noticeably snappier than the Note 2 in terms of UI but that's probably due to TouchWiz on the latter.
The Nexus 4 was comically easy to operate with one hand in comparison.

I traded my n4 for note 2. Don't miss anything. I was totally let down by Google and LG. No usb host. No mhl. No sdcard. Pathetic excuse for a Nexus branded device. Plus I miss the amoled tech since I remember my s2

The only thing I'll miss from my nexus 4 is the pure stock experience. I actually liked my Galaxy nexus more. Any one else thinking of switching to the note 2 keep in mind that the camera on the note is way better.

Sold mine and couldn't be happier. I didn't care for the Nexus 4 pretty much at all. Sure it was fast but the screen felt tiny, the phone felt cheap, the screen is AWFUL (imo), and the battery life was wretched. I really didn't like anything about the phone except for the speed and maybe call quality.
I sold my Nexus 4 and went back to the Lumia for a bit first, then purchased the Note II. Love the Note II, it brought me the happiness I was hoping for with the N4 and then some.

I switched from the nexus 4 and 7 sold both of them and bought the note 2. Dont regret a thing. So what if I dont have the latest software. The note 2 is awsome its software is great and once mine gets 4.1.2. With multiwindow there is nothing more I will need. This phablet is truly the best of both worlds and it will hold me over till the note 3 arrives

Have my N4 on craigslist right now. It is a great phone but I love the Note 2. I swiched back and fourth a bit but I just prefer the notes screen and LTE when I am on a trip to a city that has it.

Should I sell my Gnex and go with Note II or Nexus 4?

Is it worth it? Which would be better? Nexus 4 or Note II?

If you don't care about having the latest version of android I say note II. if money and updates are a concern then Nexus 4 cannot be beaten. Galaxy Nexus is still very capable though.

Maybe go for the note ii, but i wouldn't swap it for the nexus 4 with no removable battery or lte radio

If I were to choose right now I would go with note ii, the battery life, bigger screen and LTE are all pluses. Although I'm waiting until s4/note3

Since i am mostly on wifi, i don't care about lte. Software updates, unlock-ability, and the dev community would tip the scales toward the nexus 4 if i was in the market.

I have a work galaxy Nexus which was my primary phone. My personal phone was a iphone 4. I dropped the iphone and got a note 2. I'm a flashaholic who spent many of days flashing a new rom on my Nexus. I always said I'd never get anything other than a Nexus.
I'm in love with my note 2. I barely ever pick up my Nexus unless I need to answer the phone or use it for tethering.
Just fyi the note 2 has a Huge dev community. Tw roms and aosp roms are dropped on a daily basis..
I can't speak for the Nexus 4 but you can't go wrong with the note 2.

Software updates are nice but they don't make up for features that are missing or of lesser quality (camera,battery).

I say its not worth it. The GNex isn't that out of date hardware wise and definitely not software wise. I personally wouldn't as there isn't much the 2 phones can do that the GNex can't. Cheers.

Besides the fact that it's not worth it, a bigger screen isn't always a plus - if you want to use it as a phone...I don't like holding my phone with two hands :/

[Q] Buying GT 9250

Hi Guys ,
Is it worth buying a samsung Nexus GT 9250 now . I love th phone due to certain reasons I could not buy it . I know Nexus 4 is out but buget is low . So should I buy i9250 or choose some other option.

Consider waiting for the Nexus 5 to come out. Then the N4 will be cheaper.

But that could take a long time.. Nothing is confirmed.. My phone still holds up and is very quick.. But the Galaxy Nexus is turning old. I don't think you can play games that will come out in a year.. But for the rest it'll do. It will hold up some time I think..
