[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Xrunner87:
Well Nexus 7 is quite enough for daily use if you don't play some epic 3D games. The latest official Mashmallow is smooth and no need to be worried about the performance. The 7 inchs screen is suit for me which allows me to bring my tablet around without take abeg with me because the Nexus 7 can be packed into my pocket and it is easily handled. And it is cheap as I bought it for around 100$.

Any problem with your order? Everything was included? Brand new sealed unit as advertised? 1 week lead time = from order to delivery?

What's the manufacture date on it? I bought one from Amazon last month and the build date was

Oct 2015

Thanks.

My nexus 7 has a serious problem. The screen is not working properly , some part of the screen is not responding to my touch. Well it wasn't solved even I flashed the touchscreen drivers. So check your screen to see if it is okay with cautious . If it is really not working, I suggest you to order a replacement because maybe the flashing of the touchscreen drivers will not fix it and I can't fix mine and sometimes the problem is really annoying.

Looking to pick one of these up from Groupon. Are later production run models less likely to have hardware issues or is it still just a gamble?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] madbat99:
No problems since lollipop 5.0.2. (No bricks anyways). But if it ships with lollipop, and you want to root, use the multirom build of twrp. For some reason units that ship with lollipop have issues with standard twrp (won't read any partitions).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] trhacker01:
I think it's just a gamble, albeit a worthwhile one. Have heard there is some difference regarding when and where it was manufactured, but haven't seen anything convincing. Got mine a year or so after release, just recently ran into a hardware issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
I've had 4 of these go through my hands, (all 2nd hand,) and haven't ran into any real problems. On the odd occasion, 1 of touchscreens got unresponsive but a reboot sorted it out.

Compared to my Nexus 9 and former Nexus 5, I'd say the build quality is better. :cool:

Nexus 7 2013 has lots of display issues. Make sure ts img fixes and multi touch or ghost touch issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] limbonik:
My N7 (2012) was a decent tablet, but had numerous issues with touch.

My N7 (2013) is an excellent tablet that has never had a single issue with it at all.

Also, if you're looking for some sort of "deal" for buying a Nexus 7...I recommend looking at it's price; that's the deal. Anything else offered is simply gravy.

If the Nexus 8 is legit (and it releases) I've seen speculation that the 16gb will run around US$375, the 32gb around US$500.

So if you're looking for a tablet that is for media consumption you really can't lose with the N7. If you're looking for a productivity tablet, I wouldn't be able to tell you what to purchase but I wouldn't recommend the N7. (If you're using your N5 an awful lot then the N7 will likely replace most of the N5's usage, outside of telephony.)

debating to buy it myself now from reading about the touchscreen bugs and faults , I have double discount coming up with tesco so i can get it roughly 133 for 1gb model which isnt too bad but I dont fancy paying for a device that is still broke. is there any new updates out fixing this
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] i_rnb:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tonyt3rry:
So would anyone recomend the nexus is the touch screen bug fixed?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Lordsmiff:
The killer feature of Nexus tablets for me is the continual and timely updates.

I've had both editions of the Nexus 7 and while the first was a *little bit* laggy and built to a budget, the current one has been, and still is, tremendous. I've experienced no faults with it, rooting is easy and the dev scene is highly active.

The next nexus tablet device that I can find rumoured is the HTC Volantis which many people think won't hit until around September \ October \ November time.

I've been spoilt coming from Apple kit (iPhones and iPads) who don't mess anyone about with updates really and having to wait for hw manufacturer \ carrier approved updates on Android kit has always driven me mad but there's none of that with Nexus devices.

I find myself looking longingly at big Samsung tablets and then remember the update issue and stop looking...it's nexus or nothing for me.

On top of all this, there's nothing that I've thrown at my Nexus 7 that it can't handle...gaming wise, it's fab - hook it up to a moga controller and you're sorted. Full HD movies...no probs...streaming Netflix in HD...delicious :)

The only other tablet I recommend to my friends is a Tesco hudl and that's only to those who aren't really that bothered about cutting edge OS updates or FPS games. If the other manufacturers want to sell premium devices, then for me, they need to put much more effort into software updates and support longevity.

So yes, I unequivocally recommend the Nexus 7 :D Even if a new one comes out in the next 3 or 4 months, there's nothing wanting about this one :)

Cheers,

Smiffy!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] quickdraw86:
I went with FLO (nexus 7 2013) a few months ago, and am very happy with it. I haven't experienced the touchscreen bug, or any issue whatsoever. In fact, my n7 is the best overall android device I've used to date.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] myepicyear:
There is no actual touchscreen bug. Every touchscreen device (even those from Apple) gets complaints like these. Many factors account for these things people experience--slightly different ways users have of handling/gesturing/swiping a touchscreen display; perceived "touch-errors" after certain user interactions can be directly related to what the user expects the reaction will be; true hardware defects that need replacement; bad experiences with touch issues on past devices, causing the user to hyper-focus on looking for touchscreen defects; the list of possibilities is endless.

My advice:

Get the Nexus 7. I'd recommend these things all day.The hardware is still excellent. Just because Haswell came out, does that take away from how excellent Ivy-Bridge performance still is? No. Same principal here. A few newer and more improved (some more than others) Snapdragons have come along since then--but that doesn't mean older SoCs aren't high-performing.

Plus..fun fact for those that don't know:

the "S4 Pro" inside is actually a special variation of that model--not the same as the Nexus 4--essentially, it's really an underclocked version of the Snapdragon 600..the main benefit being higher quality, more efficient memory modules. The display is gorgeous. Battery life is quite good for me. It always comes down to how one uses their device.

It still feels as capable and relevant as the day I got it. Due to it's stellar performance, high-specs/low-price, and high reliability, it's still a "high-end" tablet, in my eyes..

After a couple weeks playing with it, you'll really grow to appreciate how much the Nexus 7 line matured and improved with its second version.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StarShoot97:
I bought my Nexus 7 a couple days ago (second hand, but only 3 months old and looks like new). Although the device is pretty cheap, I got it even cheeper (140€ for 32GB here in Austria).

My experiences so far a really really good. I use it alongside with my Galaxy S3 and the features like Android Beam are so usefull. I also own an iPad Mini and I barely used it 10 minutes since I bought my Nexus, even though I used it everyday for a couple of hours before I bought the Nexus.

The display is gorgeous, the size is perfect for me, although I thought it might be too small, the bezels are also not that bad as expected.

The only minus is OTG mode (where you need an extra app) and the touchscreen problems, which I also experienced now or then.

But I was possible to fix it with the solution from this link.

Overall a great device, I would recommend you buying it! You won't regret it :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] i_rnb:
Well Xiaomi launched Mi3 in India today and the price tag is only Rs.15k - which is only Rs.1k more than Moto G, yet it offers enormous specs. I think, if that's the case, then MI pad will be hell lot cheaper too and then MI pad will be the best tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StarShoot97:
Well, you get a cheeper device, but you resign for example the software support (by Google as well as in the forum), the build quality of the Nexus, the pure Vanilla Android (all these Tabs have got awful OEM Skins, and with bad luck there won't be any Custom Roms), and so on.

I experienced this "wow this specs" also once, when there was an 2GB Ram tablet available for 100€ in my hometown on a re-opening of a techno market. People were buying them like stupid and I planned the same. But after I tried it out in the store, and saw that it froze while scrolling, altough it had the awesome specs, I decided to buy an iPad instead (even though the price was more than 300€). Would the Nexus 7 have been available in May last year, I would have bought it instead of my iPad. So forget this Xiaomi crap, and buy the Nexus :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] i_rnb:
Clearly you are not familiar with Xiaomi. They are the guys who developed Miui rom. and please go through MI pad specs here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StarShoot97:
I am familiar with Xiaomi and MIUI as well, that's why I said crappy software, because that's what I experienced with MIUI so far, just a bad iOS copy.

And look at the hardware, it's color-variants, the software, this all looks like a iPad Mini clone to me.

Although the specs are pretty nice, I doubt it will be able to compete with the Nexus 7. None of these "China tablets" can do it.

And the price, as low as it is, is measured for China, as I've read. With all the taxes, transport costs, etc it's gonna be much more expensive than you think. Correct me if you get it for that price in India (in a store).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] myepicyear:
Dude, while I'd easily still pick the Nexus 7, Xiaomi has actually become insanely popular and legitimate. So legitimate, in fact, that Hugo Barra, Former Head-of-Product-Management for Android--the guy who actually showed off this Nexus 7 on stage--left Google late last year to work at...Xiaomi. They're a huge company in China, and he went there to help make them a success globally.

Besides..."China tablets", (Or Chinese, if you'd like to phrase it correctly) Taiwanese tablets, Korean tablets... What the heck does it matter anyway? Good products (contrary to popular belief) can come from anywhere. It's more about "whom"--not "where".

So, to conclude, I would totally recommend the Nexus 7 over anything---but, [MENTION=5455698]StarShoot97[/MENTION], you need to realize that Xiaomi is not some shady, no-name company. As far as brand loyalty and sales numbers go, their phone and tablet product lines are just as successful and respected as the Nexus line..if not (significantly) more. Google doesn't advertise the Nexus devices aggressively enough, while Xiaomi is out there hitting it hard, really trying to expand. They want to be the next Samsung, in terms of global admiration/success.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SmoothEraGames:
would definetly still recommend, great features for the price
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ezas:
Learning that the next version is going to be closer to 9" I'll be keeping the N7 a while longer. It does everything I need it to do, I even loaded up a pretty demanding 3d game called Carrier Ops and it runs great.

And for me it being a pure Google device is a big plus.

And also put me down in the MIUI is an iOS clone. I kept it on my N7 for about an hour.

Why I choose my Nexus 7 2013

My previous tablet, the Nook Tablet 16GB, was having some trouble, so spent a long time researching what I could get for under $200 US. As luck would have it, once I decided I wanted the Nexus more than the Dell Venue 8 (poor camera, poor battery, less RAM, lower resolution, less reliable software updates, no GPS(?)), I had been talking to a worker at the store and they claimed to have a "like new" open box Nexus 7 2013 for $139.

Largest size screen that is somewhat pocketable.

2GB RAM - many Android devices still have 1GB, so 2 should be plenty

Relatively fast CPU

Build Quality

Early, and reliable OS updates

Things I don't like:

Touchscreen doesn't work well, but, this is only a problem when I am not holding it.

Doesn't come with Adobe Flash.

Have to mess with user agent settings to get version of websites that I want - the "Show Desktop" option doesn't work for Watch ESPN, for example.

NO MICRO SD SLOT!?! This is a big WTF???
​

After rooting, adding Xposed, Greenify, Dolphin Browser, and a nice case; I like it and use it every day. Battery is OK. Hires screen makes reading PDF files much better than lower res devices like Samsung Galaxy Tabs. I also like that it doesn't get hot like my Galaxy S3 does.

It's irritating that Google make it hard for us to make our tablets work the v way WE want then to - they want us to adapt to how they think it should be. Thank goodness we can root and have great work-a-round tools like Greenify and Xposed.

One big change I still need to make is to make the nav bar and status bar auto-hide by default - it still only does that for a few asps so far...

same just bought the 2013 model, reason being is i have a huge 11.6 lenovo lynx windows tablet that does all the major bigger stuff.. and want something smaller in between.. 7 i believe fits perfect for me and plus 160 for 32gb one isnt bad.. and will be better as ill sell off my hisense LT for 40 or so in town
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jetbruceli:
Hey just my two cents. I owned a note 3 and had a small issue with the proximity sensor.

I sold it for 450 dollars.

Then I bought a new nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013 and I swear this is the best way to go.

They both are fast, extremely fast. They both get L preview natively and having one for a phone and the other as a tablet just makes sense.

I only wish I got the 32gb models. But I use a micro SD to micro USB stick and takes care of most of my concerns there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cdmoore74:
My original plan was to own a iPhone 5s and 2013 Nexus 7 but after owning the iPhone for less than a month I couldn't take iOS anymore. So when I traded my iPhone 5s for a Note 3 I basically did not want the nexus 7. So almost a year after release I bought a refurb 2013 nexus 7 for $130. For the last 4 days I've been using my Note 3 less at home and the Nexus 7 more. I really miss all the Roms and crack flashing when compared to my Note 3 and had that itch to buy a Nexus. For me the Nexus 7 2013 is still one hell of a tablet especially what I paid for it. But I wouldn't pay over $130 for a refurb or $150 new just because a new Nexus tablet is just around the corner. I figure that I could still sale my refurb

for close to what I paid if the new Nexus is hard to resist which it will be.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ciopenhauer:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ciopenhauer:
It was a shop.ca promo when they were starting their website. There were a bunch of promos you could combine + ebates cash back and paypal promo/cash back that made the total $135. I found the thread about it on RedFlagDeals. It was only possible to do for a week or two.

Nexus 7 Best One Still

Nexus 7 still one of the best tablets – the answer is still an unequivocal "yes." It has a terrific, sharp, and bright display. It's very compact and light. It runs the latest version of Android – with no custom skins or bloatware in sight. Its battery life could be better, it could be more comfortable to hold in portrait mode, and if left unhacked its screen can be cramped.

I think it was definitely worth it. I was coming from a Asus Infinity but was getting frustrated with it, the constant slow downs, and issues. I picked up the 32gb refurb version off Ebay that was advertised on Gizmodo's deals. It was only $159 with free shipping.

Great decision, this runs fantastic and how I had wished that infinity had run. I also have both an HTC m7 and m8. So have been spoiled with no lag in doing anything which is what I needed out of a tablet I used for work. This is it, and at that price point its a steal.

I wouldn't buy something a year old unless it was $100. I got mine for $164 black Friday.

It's had plenty of uses. But honestly you must make sure during your return period your display doesn't have issues with ghost touch or multi touch.

Luckily my wonderful xda-developers had a ts img file that fixed mine and many others.

Multi touch sensitivity, and experiencing things on the display being tapped when you didn't tap it.

I didn't know this but apparently there's been people with perfectly working ones but over time they develop the issue.

For me, I was past my return period and kept waiting for a software update to fix the problem. But then I discovered this

I'm confused.

Nexus 7 32 gb (300 usd where I live) or lg gpad 8.3 (320 usd, non gpe 16 gigs.)

Lg's larger screen is better while the nexus is lighter and has more dev support plus better battery life.

The lg does have official cm so the dev problems not that big. And the warranty on the nexus sucks. (if any part malfunctions you pay for the part and the labour is free.)
