Personally... . I love my N7 32..(it eats my gf's Sammy tablets lunch) .I'm an old pc gear head from the '90s...so using existing HW is the name of the game..... the N7 handles everything I can throw at it and have no complaints...I've never been one to buy into the "newer is always better" adage..... everything tech gets out dated within a year... or less in some cases... Google will tease us with a N7 3.0 as soon as KLP is mature.....but remember that Google always keeps their "approved" devices "up to snuff".. . I'm confident that my "ol N7" will still be stompin for a while... and, Oh yeah.. I'm still rockin my original Epic 4G..... 2.5 years old.. ..with CM10.1 RC2 ..shutting up all the sheep that buy into the marketing machine....... BIG Thanks to the amazing development community which believes in using existing hardware to the fullest of its capabilities......Look at the rest of the world... We may have the most constricted and monitored cell network on the planet...gotta love big biz eh?

Qualcomm processor? Really? If anything it'll be tegra 4. Doubt these specs are correct. Guess we'll find out soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] timfimjim:
Because ideally, people would not need storage as they would buy all content from the Google Play Store and therefore stream it. That's what Google wants people to do, as it would make them more money
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ArmorD:
Probably us only? After a year of procrastination I finally decided to buy the 32GB version. Hopefully I won't regret of buying the old model then...

It would be nice to have a microSD slot, but since it doesn't I find Dropbox very useful for videos. And of course Google Play Music for streaming my music library.

200$?? Is that the 3G model?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] phonic:
No. The 16GB has (had) an MSRP of $199. The 32GB has (had) an MSRP of $249. The 3G unit has (had) an MSRP of $299.

So it looks like they dropped them by $20 and $50 respectively. The 3G unit isn't sold @ Staples, so there is no price drop there for that one. The Google Play store still has them all at the old prices.

Until more stores have similar price drops, this doesn't mean a whole lot. It could just be Staples clearing out it's own inventory for another reason.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] erica_renee:
I still enjoy my nexus.. But i also have a note 10.1 tablet i love s-note and the s pen.. So if were to buy a new device it would be the Note 8. I have note 2 phone and i think the s-pen is not as useful....

anyway.. its a tough decision always . something new always coming out...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kisrita:
Get both! ;)

I have the Note 8. I like it, but I miss my Nexus 7 (my dad liked it so much I had to give it to him), and I can't wait for the new Nexus with the HD screen. I loved the size of the Nexus 7, I just wanted to see no pixels when reading, so the next version is looking like exactly what I wanted. At the same time, I need the Note 8 at work for taking notes. It is the perfect size for work, but a tad too big for me to find comfortable after work. If you can afford a Note 8, you can afford a Nexus 7 in addition. But if you don't need the digitizer, don't pay double for the Note 8!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] erica_renee:
I have nexus 7 32 gb. I use the S-pen on my note 10.1 . but its too big to fit in my purse. Where my nexus stays except when im out and about .I think the note 8 might be that sweet spot for me.

So for me to justify getting the note 8 . well there really is not a justification to spend the money when i have tech gadgets everywhere.. But again most in here are in the same boat.ITS A ADDICTION.. help help help help make it stop .. humm Im ok now..

So I think for me I will wait a while yet.

nice reply

Someone knows if this new nexus 7 gonna have a led light indicator?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] PVL_93_RU:
Unconfirmed as of now, but IMO LEDs are really a good thing on tablets. What HTC has definately done right with their one and only 7" tablet (the HTC Flyer) is that they added an LED indicator into the power button. It's not exactly the place where I wanted it to be (like, 2011 HTC phones have it on top and almost built in behind the earpiece), but still useful when I don't hold it in my hand and I see it blinking if the power button is facing my direction

Acording to the agenda only Jellybean will be discussed. So maybe only Jellybean 4.3 will be officially announced, but who knows. Asus support said it will be in July, let's hope they were right about it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] 48dodge:
There's a lot of speculation on the interwebs about it being unveiled on July 11th. It would be good timing if it's being released end of July to early august.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Kumczak:
There's been a lot of speculation about May's Google IO, then about June 10, but nothing happened :). Now July 11 - i don't expect much from it, but who knows? I would be happy if they decided to announce the new Nexus there, although I'm not convinced about that.

I wouldn't get excited too much. We will know anything when it will be announced. Till then we can only say our wishes and hope they will become true soon :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
I'm not sure about the nexus one getting ics. If the snapdragon s1 was anything like the omap3 then I wouldn't advise it. My wife's nook color has cm10.1 on it and I'm about to take it back to gingerbread because the performance is so terrible. Thing is ics and up requires a decent gpu which I don't think either chipset has.

But as for the nexus S? Yeah it shouldn't have much issue running 4.2.2, nor should the Xoom. I keep thinking that 4.3 is probably the end of the road for the gnex which imo is sad because I know 3 friends who picked one up less than a year ago. They really need to base further support on how well its hardware can handle it, not it's age

Well if history proves anything, it should be fine for updates for another year
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
OT but as for the GN I think Google are in a hurry to let that Nightmare go away. The sooner thay can get away from the CDMA Prison the better they will feel. Really hope Softbank will force Sprint to get rid of CDMA entirely.

Not OT: Looks like we have another Retailer dumping Nexus 7s. New Egg has the 32G up for $199 right now. Seems we are getting closer to seeing a replacement.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
Well l was mainly referring to the unlocked gsm play store model, the cdma variant is most likely already done as far as "official" support, can't see Verizon and sprint bending over backwards for a 2 year old phone that wasn't a stellar seller to begin with.

Oh and newegg.com has the 32 gb nexus 7 for $199 on their shell shocker
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Well the GSM one was going to tough to keep selling when there was a newer and cheaper version availible. I thing the "Support" for the GSM version is tied to the CDMA version to a degree so there is less confusion. Again I think Google want the GN Nightmare over as quick as possible so they can have a less confusing update schedule.

As for the Shell Shocker I think it's a sign they are trying to clear inventory in preperation for the new model.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
Well if they drop support after 4.3 for it, then it'll have the same update life as its predecessors ie nexus one, s, and Xoom. It's not really that great of a phone, has a dated gpu even for 2011,my snapdragon s3 in my old vivid owns the thing on benchmarks and it was released a few weeks after its launch.

Anyway back on topic, yeah it's time for a nexus 7 successor, tegra 3 isn't getting any younger, and speaking of the gnex, tegra 3 is right around the same era as the omap 4460 so bring on the upgrade!

Standard procedure. No one's supposed to give out this kinda info, I work for a major retailer and I have a form I have to sign to agree not to share future product or promotional information with outside sources
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Clearance is good news. Means someone knows something.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Kumczak:
After the first 'leak' chat with Asus was posted here, i though i'd try to talk with them as well. And i tried 2 times. First, the guy told me that he didn't know anything and that i should ask again next week or in two weeks' time. So i asked again and i got the spec (posted earlier, the same as the ones already posted).

So, maybe not every support guy knows these things? Maybe just a part of them knew the answers so they answered and the rest are not knowledgible in that matter?

To sum up, I'd advise you to TRY AGAIN and chat with them :). Just make sure it will be someone different. And try to ask for photos, if they will know anything about the k009

Cheers :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Flippy125:
Maybe they were just giving the information they saw leaked on the internet and thought it would get you guys to stop bugging them if they just pasted the leaked info in. :shrug:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Kumczak:
I'd rather think that after one person got the info, many others were trying to do this as well :).

At least, this was mine case and as we can see, Strike_Riku also tried to pump them for the info :P.

If the first 'leak' wasn't posted here, i wouldn't even know about Asus Support Chat and I wouldn't have an idea to talk with them at all :P.

I still hope for some announcement in July, though. Maybe these reps were giving us proper info :D?

I've been wondering why didn't LG put pogo pins on Nexus 4 whike Sammy did it with GNexus?

Because it was intended to be marketed as a wireless phone, where it charges wirelessly and has miracast which is wireless.

Not sure why they couldn't include both. The pogo pin landscape dock for the Gnex was awesome. Charged and got audio output with no wires coming out from the phone itself.

Edit:its already been posted
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
I don't understand why it costs more. I still think it won't, I mean really like anyone honestly knows what the price will be, the original was rumored to be anywhere from $150-300. If they can make a phone that's 8 times more powerful than its predecessor and not raise the price, then they can do the same with the tablet.

Speaking of the nexus 4, it was rumored to be like $599
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] michaelg1030:
I too would have liked for the price to go down, but at $230 you really can't complain. If all the specs are true @$230 nothing else comes close to it.

I don't think the Nexus lineup needs to have a bottom dollar price tag. Google has to realize that they can't compete against the cheapo android tablets out there as far as price goes.

The Nexus is a "developer" platform. I am sure Google would like to sell it to as many people as they can, but Realistically they pick their market and that's who they are targeting. A dev or any android fanatic will see that the extra $50 or so that the nexus cost is far worth it over the no name brand sitting next to it.

I dunno, I've heard snapdragon pro, and other conflicting reports of the 600. $230 isn't a bad price and I'm not complaining, but still if they raised the price it would seem odd, in November they released the nexus 4 with specs as the time were better than most flagships and hardware and design wise, identical to an lg phone that cost $550, and they sold it for the same price as the Galaxy Nexus it replaced.

Still no HDMI out..... stereo front facing speakers are a plus.

Ultimate purchase will come down to if it's a S600. There is still hope, 4GB ram has to be a typo as it really doesn't make any sense. If it ends up being true I would rather have the S600 and 2GB ram. Someday we might actually need mobile devices 4GB ram, but that isn't today or even next year.
