Does the nexus 7 2013 wifi model have a slot where the sim goes or nothing there at all because I bought the wifi 32gb vershion but I can see a sim slot do wifi model have the slot?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kaseynj7:
Nexus 7 2012 is still a good buy!

Recently/purchased a used Nexus gen1 32gb in mint condition for 100 bucks.

Considering the stuff that's out there for the price /I think it was well worth it/with the KitKat upgrade this nexus is smooth battery life is very good.Display has no pixelation whatsoever/ipad2 and iPad mini 1/have pixelation this is a step up from them I think I has both/as far as quickness its quick /granted the ppl I bought it from seems like never used it/quite amazing actually/I like the unique leather like grip on back of device and its quite portable and light but feels sturdy at same time/

A very good device Nexus 2012 still

packs a good performance punch?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] idCyber:
No, the WiFi version doesn't have a sim slot , only the LTE version has that. But I think you can use a microusb sim card reader / modem but I am not entirely sure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Smuti:
I bought mine a good month ago and it's great except that now for a good week I've been having a screen bug. On one side of the display there is a thin black line going from edge to edge. Since yesterday I've got now 2 black lines going across the screen. Is there any "home" fix for that or just warranty?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mikeydoodles:
I'd say definitely if you can find one fairly cheap! Mine still runs great (bought last December), still the best Android tablet in my opinion. I'm definitely looked forward to the Nexus 8/9 though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fulcro:
hi guys, i have a nexus 5 and a galaxy note 10.1 (n8013) wifi, but it s really laggy and i'm considering to buy a new tablet

here in the city there is an offer for the nexus 7 32gb wifi only for 169€ (224,4421$) and i don t know if it s a good purchase or not, if i should wait or what else?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hashbang173:
I don't Think thats a good deal. In US Dollars thats only a few dollars cheaper than retail ($229)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fulcro:
For me 169€ (224$) it s not much, my question is if it still worth buying or it s better to wait (for what?) (max future budget 250€-332$)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hashbang173:
I'm Waiting for the Nexus 8. It may be only $299
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fulcro:
In italy min 300€ xD
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LittleConfucy:
Still a great tablet

In my opinion, if you want to use it for graphically intensive gaming, then you'd be better off with a newer tablet, since the 7's hardware is a bit outdated.

But if you use it for light tasks like Facebook, Twitter, Newsstand, Play Music, graphically light games, etc; I think it's a great deal. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] slyr114:
Seems like a bad screen, I'd try and warranty it or even return it to the store if its within the return grace period.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Smuti:
I'll have to warranty it, cause I've got it over a month now and I won't be getting anywhere with the store.

If only the world would have worked like that. EU to US ratio is always like 1:1 eventhough the € is much stronger then the $. So I would definetly take it, mine was on discount for 215€, whereas retail price was 269€.

I just purchased a 32gb 2013 for $87 brand new from Staples. I don't game. It's just for browsing, reddit, youtube, Netflix, HBO Go, etc. Nothing power hungry so I'm satisfied with it.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dovahkiin691:
Strictly speaking if you were to buy a 32GB N7 from the playstore for 269 dollars, for another 40 dollars you can buy the NVIDIA shield tablet, it would make sense if you had other interests such as gaming.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hashbang173:
Any good deals for the shield tablet yet?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] @non4:
I disagree. My galaxy s3 keeps up with most of today's games (after touchwiz's unceremonious removal and replacement with slimkat of course). Likewise my nexus is performing even better probably due to the extra ram, asphalt 8 for example struggles on 1gb ram. Sure, there are better devices, but most cost considerably more and the nexus isn't behind on actual performance yet, in the price range you could do so much worse such as the galaxy tab 4 with a7 cores and that crappy GPU. That said I very nearly bought the gpad
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LittleConfucy:
I know it can play all or most new games, but if you want to run on max graphics, this tablet is simply not enough.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] treehugger38294:
The shield is a far better choice for gaming. If you want good Dev support, better battery life and quick updates, the Nexus 7 2013 is fine and will last for daily tasks. Gaming is not one of its strengths though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] @non4:
4 hours on games is enough. Performance is good here. Never had a nexus before, couldn't resist the google experience or the price tag. My 3 possibilities were the nexus, the gpad or shield. In terms of usability overall I'd say this is the best. Gpad was too big. Shield however is definitely the gaming device to go for if that's all you're after
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mindmajick:
Hm. Never had an issue with any games on the nexus 7. Can someone give a example of a game it can't run? Or a game that runs badly?

I'd love to test it myself and see. So far I've run 3d shooters and every other game i can think of with no issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] leomd333:
I just bought a sealed N7 2013 16GB for €204 (in the uk nearly £80 cheaper than the play store) do you think this was a good deal?

I have had the nexus 7 2013 since last october, and I think it's a good tablet, but I got the Nexus 5 a couple of months ago, and since then I've rarely used the tablet other than flashing stuff on it just to try new ROMs. I want to sell it now.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] RichardC27:
Just bought a brand new N7 2013 from O2 for £150, seems to be about as cheap as you can get a new one in the UK. Currently have an LG G-Pad 8.3 but I'm getting tired of the dim screen and poor battery life. Plus I want Android L ASAP ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kvillafana:
I love my 2013 nexus 7 great buy and quality
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Cobra11Murderer:
Bought mine a few months ago from buydig eBay.. 160, but looks brand new and a 32gb.. Love it, have had zero issues with it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kashim91:
I saw that offer, yh brand new its the cheapest. Refurbished from argos is £130 for 2013, and £99 for 2012. But will nexus 2013 see android L? Because I think google only do 18 months of software support. I'm really torn as to whether i should wait for the nexus 8. But I need to evaluate my wants versus my needs. I have a samsung galaxy s5 which i recently forked £370, which i spent and a rooted xperia s with an unlocked bootloader which I play with quite alot which I use most of my apps on. The tablet would only be for university lectures and perhaps watching movies on train journeys on that fabulous display. My uni doesn't start till october, so I think I might opt for a nexus 7 2013 just after the nexus 8 comes out. which will hopefully make the prices plummet
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Richieboy67:
It is still an awesome device. I use mine every day still.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mindmajick:
Considering that android L (in a development form) has already been running on our device... I'm pretty sure the odds are very high that we'll get android L.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hashbang173:
But the odds of you getting Android 5.1 arn't as high
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mindmajick:
Not too concerned. I'm certain that once official updates run out unofficial ones will continue... Just like every other device I've ever owned.

Example: http://www.zdnet.com/nexus-4-and-nexus-7-2012-get-unofficial-android-l-7000031330/

Edit: wait.. that response is coming from a guy who compiles cm 4.4.4 for the Original kindle fire?! You know better!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] junkinmytrunk426:
Id say if you can find a 32gb for around $130ish its still worth buying.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Goku80:
i can get a refurb from my work with 2 year guarantee for 119 pounds 32gb...i would love to wait for the new one specially with the bigger screen size but a google tablet with great specs for nearly as close to the 100 pound mark is very tempting
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] foosion:
I prefer the N7's size to the rumored 8" or 9" replacements. It's a very nice tablet.

By the time it becomes too slow to run the unofficial versions of the then most current android version, I'll have gotten a fair amount of use from it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] leomd333:
The beast arrived 10 days early :) straight away Unlocked, Rooted and TWRP installed. (I had CWM, it got wiped by the stock rom?)

EDIT: Cruzerlite case also just came, looks nice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] crane at citrus:
I don't think that the Nexus 7 is worth it now (in sept, 2014) because I've seen the IFA Youtube videos & some specs of the new ASUS Memo Pad ME572 C/CX. Read the ASUS will be available in the US at $199 in Oct, 2014; it has a 64 bit cpu, 1920x1200 resolution, 16 gig & a microsd slot at the 7 in IPS display. It's like an update to the Nexus 7 as it has updated specs. October isn't that far away as it is now just around 3 weeks away but could be at the end of October....

Very tempting even if my use will be mainly for reading books; then again for my own XMAS present.......I do find that the 1920x1200 res is great for a 7 incher for reading books; more comfortable (light) than the Nook HD+ at 8.9 in.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nicholi2789:
I'm a little late to the party too. I had a wifi 2012 Nexus 7 and absolutely loved it, the size is perfect for me. I wanted an LTE capable tablet though and had an upgrade (I'm on Verizon) but didn't want any Samsung devices as I still want to be able to unlock and flash what I want. So the Nexus is the only option for me. Even a year old u absolutely love this tablet. I use it mostly for reading books and some Web surfing and movie watching. But as I'm an avid reader book reading is about 90% of my usage on this baby. Google improved on the original Nexus 7 in every way. More sleek, runs smoother, more processing power, and the screen resolution is absolutely spectacular. The most impressive feature easily. Colors are so bright and vivid. HD videos are amazing too.

My only gripe is Google's aversion to sd card slots. If they made this tablet with an SD card slot it would be absolutely perfect. I mean seriously, why not have more storage? Meh, oh well, most of my stuff is stored on my M8 w/64 gb card anyways.

The point is, I just got this tablet a week ago, but if Google unveiled their rumored Nexus 8 tomorrow I would still be satisfied with this tablet. I love it. If you like smaller tablets, get one. You won't be disappointed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sale 83:
Yeah, but if you just read books,then you don't need something like nexus at all. No need for great specs either.There are much cheaper tablets or ebook readers for that.Plus reading on e ink is like reading the book, your eyes won't get that tired as while reading on tablet.

Nexus 7 2013 still works great, for surfing, playing games, watching movies, working, and it will get updates for at least one more year if you use stock rom.

I compared my nexus to the newest samsung galaxy tab s a few days ago..almost everything feels more fluid on nexus, screen is still great.

So is it still worth buying? Yes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] crane at citrus:
The decision has to be based on price for a new tablet. If the Asus Memo Pad ME572 will really be available at $199 & a Nexus is at $199 for the 16 gig, then the ME572 would be a better buy. The size is the same as well as resolution but the ME572 has a slot for the microSD & a 64-bit cpu; the Nexus has dual WiFi capability....

My 32 gig Nexus 7 is great for reading BUT an advantage over my 1st edition Nook is that the Nexus 7 is able to do PDF more easily/readily than the original e-ink Nook but not as well as my 10" Acer A700 that has 1920x1200 rez. Resolution does count for us older people with bad eyesight.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] digthemlows:
well, I got my 16gig 2013 for $119 refurbished...........I've had it for a week now, unlocked/rooted/ and put Clean Rom on it............ It's worth every penny............hell, even if you just use it as a music player for a blue tooth speaker around the house it's worth $100 ........... I'm happy with it!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CookieMonsterr:
I would still buy the Nexus 7 anyway. A great tablet that is quite cheap. You can't get the true tablet feeling from a 5" phone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
I've had the 32gb Nexus 7 2013 day 1 following the 2012 edition.

My son has broken it a few times (water, cracked screen) and 1 was stolen. I've bought the stupid tablet over and over again. I really can't find a better tablet for the price. I've looked at the LG Tablet, but it doesn't have the lifespan of the N7 nor the development. I primarily use my tablet to stream/download ShowBox to my TV's and do some light gaming while in bed.

The only issue I have it the stupid touchscreen issue. I have a thick Porenzo hardback book case that doesn't give it the grounding needed for good touch input. It is constantly missing touches when using one handed. Since I primarily use this while lounging in bed or the couch, it becomes a constant battle.

I really want one with a Pen like a Samsung. I think I would be able to do more work on it. The screen size is fine although an 8" wouldn't bother me. I just can't get into the Galaxy product line for some reason. I've never owned a Samsung android device except the Galaxy Nexus.

I've seen the prices on refurbished and new getting ridiculously low. However I'm waiting on the HTC Nexus 8. I think it will be $400 but we'll see. It is really hard to justify buying another tablet when the Nexus 7 works so good, and the touchscreen issue isn't worth spending $400 on another device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alexm231:
since you seem to have narrowed the source of the problem to something as cheap as the case, why not get another case?

me, I'm very happy with the tablet, and i'd buy it again tomorrow without a second thought
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
Well the case was pretty expensive and I like it. The grounding issue and one hand operation is there regardless. The case just makes it slightly harder to make contact with the actual tablet itself. Plus I mentioned my son broke 2 tablets. So going without a case is very dangerous in my house.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] acegolfer:
I just paid $200 for 2013 N7 LTE display model. 7" form factor is perfect for me to carry around. I even regret oredering the Oneplus One. I'll probably use both using 1 data-only SIM card.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Chapter 1:
Go with the nexus 7 and buy the time you need something new the next model in the nexus range will be priced a lot cheaper and all the bugs hiccups hopefully will be sorted leaving another awesome device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] grafittione:
my gf bought a 32gb nexus 7 koo9 today in india, and she will be bringing it on next sunday here in manila,

just wondrin if this tab really worth the price?

it cost her 24,000+RS
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jfriend33:
I would like to rescind all my negative remarks in this thread stating the nexus 7 2013 is not worth buying.

I failed to realize Google was stopping production. The form factor is awesome. The new nexus 9 has an annoying 4:3 aspect ratio. Holy letterboxes...

The case for the nexus 9 is neat though. Ability to launch camera from magnet in cover.

Watched several talks on the nexus 9. I guess 2gbs of ram is plenty with 64 bit processor.

I still can't believe the pricing though. 16gb of storage with same ram as nexus 7 2013 for more than twice the cost. And your movie viewing won't be significantly larger either...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Sensamic:
I think it's still a better tablet than the new 9.

Why?

Mainly price. 235€ it cost the the 32GB model!!! The new 32GB model costs twice as much!!

Second reason: size. The 7 form factor is great because it's not heavy and therefore I can hold it for longer periods of time.

Third: the screen. 1080P is more than enough. No serious need for more resolution. Battery life and performance is better thanks to 1080P.

We also still have 2GB RAM, stereo speakers, great design and build quality, another update after L (plus XDA for more future updates), etc.

That's it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] eksasol:
Not with them letterbox, lol, unless you watch classic 4:3 movies.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jfriend33:
I know, right! I hadn't even noticed them until that Korean review video posted pics.

Will be good for business but bad for media. I'm not going to gain any screen size for 90% of what I watch/do.

But man that camera launching cover just takes my breath away....

My nexus does some things faster than my s5, even with cm11 instead of touchwiz! Snapdragon 400 really isnt as far behind the 801 as people think. At current prices they are a premium machine for the price
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] treehugger38294:
The Nexus 7 has a Snapdragon 600 processor.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] @non4:
My bad, thought the s4 pro was a 400 variant :banghead: either way it's still very much "in date" for now. The new nexus devices are disastrous IMO, too big! The nexus 7 & 5 are the perfect size
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jtdc:
What's the next logical upgrade for Nexus 7 2013, considering the Nexus 9 size is certainly too big and unwieldy?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] _delice_doluca_:
Keeping the size, the only logical upgrade is to OC the device. The GPU should go up to 600MHz without breaking a sweat and the CPU is easily capable of 1900+ I believe.

I think it is goodbye time for those who love their tablets in 19:10, like me..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jfsat:
Wow, I've never pushed it that high. I'd love to try, but I'm already concerned about the heat at 450MHz GPU and 1700 CPU. Is your setup just not for gaming, or do you do heavy heat throttling, or do you just not worry about it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
I love my 2013 Nexus 7 except the screen grounding issue is a nightmare and makes me cringe at long usage.

I have upgraded to an LG x8.3 and overall pretty satisfied. Otherwise I would wait until new devices are rolled out in a month and pick up a new tablet then. Not sure if they are coming out with a new tablet for Android M or not. The nexus 7 is end of life. We dont even have a Android M p

Port yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jtdc:
actually i use it full stock, i didn't even unlock the bootloader. i wanted it that way for less things to think about. so this looks like the end of the road hmm...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
I also have a Gpad 8.3 which I gave to the Mrs. It's a nice tablet but the contrast and black levels of the screen are poor in relation to the Nexus 7. :(

As my Nexus 7 is still running at a good pace and good battery life, I don't consider it to be end of life at all. If I drop my Nexus 7, its great knowing it can be replaced for next to nothing. :highfive:

The size of the Nexus 9 doesn't appeal to me so the 7 is still king in my eyes. :cool:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
My nexus 7 2013 has the best screen I have found on any device (color and brightness). I still use my N7 a lot. If you can pick one up for cheap ($100ish) then sure. But the age of the CPU is aging, the touchscreen is wonky, and it won't get anymore official updates, so buyer beware.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] _delice_doluca_:
Sorry for seeing this late,

I also apply proper UVing too. That helps with the heating problem. This was just a curios setup, I have used it like that about a month then reverted back. I game a lot but also do other things too. So far, to be honest, never felt the need of heavier CPU but GPU occasionally stutters.

Me and my cousin have bought our tablets at the same time, he preffered Galaxy Tab 8.4 and stayed at KitKat with a unnecessarily super high screen resolution. I wanted to give a shot to the LG G Pad 8.3 but that screen and the less development got me worried (even though the metal parts were attractive). Anyway, Snapdragon S800 comes with a GPU which is more powerful on KitKat at the 2560x1440 resolution, than S600's GPU on Lollipop at 1080p unfortunately. That forced me to either OC or lower the resolution to 720p (800to be precise) when playing games such as Dead Trigger 2 and Nova 3 (especially Nova 3).

Sometimes I still think about 8.3" screen of G pad 8.3 and also problem-free touches of it, but given the 7" size, reducing the resolution on the games makes no impact to the bare eye, and that bright/accurate screen is a joy to play your alien games :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
Totally agree regarding the screen colour/brightness/contrast.

Personally, I think the Nexus 7 2013 will get Android 5.2, as the original Nexus 7 got 5. I think it will be the original that get left behind this time due to its very aging hardware.

I think this tablet still has a ton of life. I just upgraded to LP because I was forced to in order to mitigate stagefright (I was a fan of KK). 5.0.1 was awful I thought on the N7. I'm really liking 5.1.1. It's very snappy and all the little issues with LP that I had seem gone. I see no reason not to consider it usable for a while to come.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
I totally agree. As the Nexus 7 (2013) is so cheap, if you took any £100 7" tablet, I think the N7 would be way faster. I still think there is at least 1 year to come from the N7. The N7 (2012) on the other hand, I think its at the end of its life.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SantinoInc:
I just got one used but in mint shape from Amazon ($120 with box, cables and even a case...32GB model) and I'm super happy with it so far. I got it rooted and I have no complaints about it. For the money I don't think I could do any better!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
I like my LG G Pad x8.3 (2nd gen) but aside from root, thats it... and I have only saw it at Verizon in the states. But honestly I love LGs software. Its minimal but feature packed.

Keeping up with Android in the early years was neat because it was changing so much. Now it is mostly matured, jumping to newer releases feels less and less needed. I loved KitKat. Lollipop, while is prettier, just isnt getting me excited.

LG is also VERY good at pushing uodates so the wait s never long for a good official solution.

At home, I alternate between the N7 and LG x8.3 but outside the house, the LG goes with me. The N7 has become mostly the dedicated video streamer/internet browser for my office.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
I agree with your assessment of KK vs Lollipop. I run L on my Nexus 7 as pretty much a test. If I still had a Nexus 5, I'd be running KK on that for sure. I just think L has been a backstep in too many ways. :(

On my Gpad & G2, LG haven't been great with the updates. On the other hand, there KK builds have been so good that its not an issue. :angel:
