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?

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.

Need help choosing between Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2.

On the iPhone 5 release date, I decided to buy a Galaxy SIII. Until September 22, I was loyal to apple since the release date of the original iPhone.
Let me just say, The galaxy s3 owns the iPhone in every way. I see why apple suing because their finally beaten. Anyways should I return the galaxy s3 and wait out the note 2. I really like the S pen feature because it would be useful for college or should I wait till black Friday and try to find the galaxy note 10.1 on sale. anyone's opinion would be helpful. I have till October 22 to return the galaxy s3.

Note 2 because it has the features of a phone AND a tablet and it can be held everywhere
The S III is a good choice but if doesnt have tablet features, hope I helped

I forgot to mention that I have really small hands. It already hard enough to hold the SIII. Is the note II that much bigger.

Sorry to say that but the Note 2 is actually bigger :/ but its your opinion to choose
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

If you want the features of a tablet and phone, then the note 2 would be a great choice. I am considering the note 2 myself, wanting the ability to have my phone and tablet in one device, a 'phablet'.

If you're worried about the size drop by a store and check out the current note. I could be wrong but I believe they are the same size.

I remembered! Why not to buy an S III mini! Its a 4-inch screen phone, 1GHz dual core, 1GB RAM
Isn't that enough for a college guy

Actually, the note 2 is even bigger @ 5.5"
To big for my taste. I couldn't even use the first note @ 5.3" with one hand. Other than that it was nice, like the S pen.
Sent from my SGS III

The new note is bigger as in 5.3" as apposed to 5.5" but the note 2 s not as wide as the original note so that may help with the people that had trouble handling the first one.

Im in same situation as op. My 30 days up on thr 22nd. Also. Ive been trying to find out if note 2 will release before then. If it does, id likely swap. I like the bigger 5.5in. Screen. Would compliment my note 10.1 well. I did just get a 4200mAh Hyperion extended battery for my SG3 though. Loving the sick battery life im getting now. Very hard to kill battery now.
Sg3 is a great phone though. Id still be happy if I keep it. I went from an old 4in. Atrix 4g to 4.8in. Sg3.

I have the s3 but I will be using the hubby's upgrade for the note 2 when it comes out. It will have no problem fitting in my purse and the hubby will be happy with the s3 since he currently has the galaxy s. Can't wait!
I would say get the note 2 if the bigger size isn't an issue. It looks awesome!

Note 2 has significantly lower ppi at 267 according to their leaked specs. I would go with S3 if that's a Deal breaker for you
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I would say it really would come down to price of what you could get the 10.1 vs what it will cost you to upgrade to the note 2. I would guess you would be paying close to if not full retail being you just got the gs3? The hardware specs between the note 2 and the gs3 are not what i would consider significant, certainly not when compared with the difference between the gs3 and 10.1 tab. As far as the phablet potential goes, there are pleanty of options on the gs3 on the custom rom side of things that would be pretty similar to the note 2. If it were me i would keep the gs3 and go with the tablet, which is going to be more conveinient in a school setting. Just my 2 cents.

I love s3 but I could be a wrong but I believe the note 2us variant has 2 gigs of ram and works with lte with the quad core processor, where the s3 is qualcomm dual core 2 gigs but if u want a phablet/big phone and don't want a regular tablet that would be my pick. But if u have a tablet or are getting one the s3 is big enough for this year lol.

I had same problem ,which one too choose. I went with gs3 its amazing. Like everything. And its still feels like a phone on your hand. I watch a lot of movies on it . Screen is amazing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

My two cents - I chose the Galaxy S3 because the Note 2 just seemed to be trapped between two worlds to me. I don't even feel comfortable on my Tab 2 7.0 because it's too small to really get anything done on, though it's great as a reader or media player.
They're all great devices, but I feel like my phone and tablet are better off separated.

In my opinion the note is just to big. I would go with the s3 and try to pick up a note 10.1 tab. I love having my phone and a tab so if I want the extra screen size I can switch on over to my tab. But at that same time I can't take it every where as for the note phone you could.
Hope this helps, Dev

Honestly not bad at all, but except CPU changes and induction charging, what are the better points compared to the GNEX ?

Unless a Verizon version launches later (like always seems to happen with Sprint Nexus devices), I'll be hanging onto my LTE Gnex until the next Nexus comes out late next year. I like my LTE, I like 32 GB of storage, and let's face it, Verizon has the best network in the country. That's pretty much indisputable.

Eh. I'm sorry, but after getting 4G LTE on my nexus I will not buy another phone without it. I'll get 4.2 on my current nexus and that will hold me over until a better device comes out. I really kinda hate LG. . .

The new device looks awesome. I think I'm jealous of the camera and new version of Android. Oh yeah. And that quad core S4. Lol. We still have a cool phone. We will have 4.2 soon enough.

Other than the big brother spec bump, bringing nexus hardware back to relevancy, Lifespan, is probably the main, albeit undersold, reward in buying the new nexus. Will the gnex still be adequate by the time nexus 5 rolls around? Maybe. But whatever the life of this phone, the 4 will far exceed it. And longevity is one of the key reasons Joe phone user purchases the nexus.

Amen to that.
Right now I'm going stir crazy without a 10" tablet! I sold my old Nexus S and my LTE Motorola Xoom so I could have the cash to buy a Nexus 10. Since they aren't available until November 13, I'm going to go crazy without it! That Nexus 7 is great for reading in bed, but for doing anything productive, I needs me a 10" tablet. My laptop is going to get more use the next two weeks than it has in 2 months!

There's no comparison. Not even close. N4 is the best spec'd phone available on almost every component and costs the same as the Galaxy Nexus. If you bought a GN in the last 29 days, return it immediately. With all that said, the Galaxy Nexus is still an excellent phone.

That is basically always the point. Also, considering the nexus s still gets updates I doubt we will stop getting them for a while. Also, the galaxy nexus can play whatever games I want it to, and it has the same GPU as the nexus s ( I am talking nova 3 , NBA 2k13( which stutters a little bit), and dead trigger on high).

I'll wait until I see the screen to decide that. After two Samsung Nexus in a row I'm ready for someone else and even a different screen tech.

The camera will be the main selling point for me. Absolutely love my GNex, but I find it funny whenever I see apologists try to act as if the camera isn't sub par.
Wireless charging, even though I like it, is only a gimmick (much like the curved screen of the GNex to be fair).
I have no plans on upgrading; that being said I also don't have insurance on my phone. If I had to replace it, I'd definitely spring for the N4 if I was going brand new instead of eBay/ CL.

Yeah. I'm just comparing between the LED screen on the Galaxy Nexus and the IPS display on the Nexus 7. That IPS display is no slouch, but it's no LED.

Unless my gnex breaks, Ill wait, however I'm sure others are very excited about this device. Its definitely a deal. Quad core s4 for the price of the gnex u bought from the play store yesterday
Being on prepaid wireless, I couldnt give two ***** about LTE. Gnex in NYC gets over 10mbps down on tmobiles network.

The battery life on the note is why I kept it. I like everything else Berger on the gnex but that is worthless if I can't use it. I hung on to the Nexus to for ubuntu. Can't wait to try that out.

Well the Nexus will be around for a while. The Note 2 probably won't see many more updates. So in a year, the Galaxy Nexus would still be hip and cool and hanging in there with the latest features of Android while the Note 2 was left behind.
While the idea of a Note (10") with pen features sound great, every time I go into a store to play with one, it sucks. The Pen feature is pretty far behind the actual stylus and while it works well, it doesn't work as good as it shows in the commercials (what does though). To me, the PEN is awesome even if just for a quick doodle or note once in a while... but the Note is just too small to really utilize the pen to its full potential and limits it to just small notes.
The 10.1" Note is cool but it feels sluggish and laggy for some reason. Perhaps it is loaded down with junk like all displays... or it is just sluggish. Personally a 5" is too small and a 10" is too big. If they had a 7" at an attractive price point, we'd probably be talking.

Usually threads like this make me smh, but since I am very curious about the Note2 (I want one) I went ahead and decided to see what you have to say..
I am disappoint.
What the hell was the point OP?!

I would have stayed with the note 2 until the next nexus comes out end of 2013, note 2 is clearly a better phone compared to the gnex, that would have been the most logical thing to do but each to their own.

So you're saying that the Note 2 (which ships with 4.1 in case you forgot) won't get any updates? Let's not forget that the GS3 is coming up on a year old in a few months here and got Jelly Bean recently while the Note 2 was released less than 4 months ago. Both the GS3 and Note 2 are their best selling devices by a long shot, I find it hard to believe that they'd abandon updating it within a year, even with newer devices on the horizon.

Well at least with Verizon you'd be waiting 6 months for updates.

For most consumers I'm sure it's hardly a thought. There's no question that it's not at it's end of updates but even if it is, such a popular device is going to get community support. I mean, the Verizon GNote2 has been out for less than 2 months and it's already got a slew of roms and a good amount of development behind it.
Yes, it will eventually lose official support from Samsung/Verizon much like the Gnex will, but where would XDA be if Android wasn't the masterpiece it is today?

If the Note 2 was cheaper, I'd have it, as long as ROMs are chugging out for it.

What was going through your mind when you decided to switch back? Sure updates are nice but the last 2 updates have broken features on my nexus. I'd much rather have amazing battery life, quad core processor and a large screen/Spen.

I bought it as a tablet replacement and it is simply too small, so I found myself carrying a tablet and a 5.5in phone which seemed crazy. The battery life will be missed, but a fresh nexus is just as snappy 99% of the time.

I have my Note 2 overclocked to either 1.8 or 1.92 and still get over 48 hours per charge and have had 8 hours screen time more than once even with moderate use over the 48+ hours.
Oh yeah, a little birdie told me Codeworx just ordered his today thanks to some nice people that gave him some healthy donations. Its funny that is the first device where people aren't going crazy waiting for AOKP or a pure AOSP ROM because they don't want to lose features.. that being said, there are some great 3rd party apps to take the place of SPad etc.

Upgrade to GNex or?

Hello Gnex owners!
I've been using my Nexus S for some time now and I believe it's time for upgrade. I was thinking Gnex because it is cheap but I need your opinion. If there are any previous Nexus S users here, you do know that after Jelly Bean arrived, NS became too laggy to support it and it was terrible. People reverted to ICS.
So,
1. How fast is your phone today on 4.2.2, how often does it lag, crash and so on...
2. How fast is it compared to Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3?
Selling my Nexus S and adding not a lot of money does get me Galaxy Nexus, so I'm pretty excited. Or get Galaxy S2/Note 1? Thank you!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

1.Phone is as fast as i need it to be. It lags occasionally if i play a game like gta iii, but I'm not a big gamer.. Doesn't ever seem to crash, unless i'm experimenting.
2.As far as side-by-side comparisons, The nexus 4 is only about 4 months old; the galaxy siii is about 11 or twelve months old, and the gnex is about 16 months old; Things change quickly in the phone world. So you have to keep in mind the time frames.
If you're seriously considering a galaxy sii, I'd go for the galaxy nexus. Why haven't you mentioned something like the htc one x, etc.?
All in all, I think I'll be quite happy with this phone for another year or so.

No lags on a daily normal usage for me. Even when there is lag while running a lot of apps it‘s nothing that‘ll make you crazy.
None of the games like NFSMW or GTA III lag or slowdown noticably.
If I were you, coming from the Nexus S I‘d have upgraded to the Nexus 4 than the GSIII or even the Galaxy Nexus.

for the right price def do it!

I made the switch from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus because of the JB lag you mentioned, and I couldn't be happier. I never even considered getting a Nexus 4 because my phone works so well.

Former ns4g user here. I was in the exact same situation as you and made the leap back in December. Speed and smoothness are fine for me (don't play games). I think for the money/android experience, there's no better way to play it than to annually upgrade to 1-gen old nexus devices. I'm generally happy, but must say that I thought the ns was the ideal form factor. I even went back to my ns4g on a slimmed down Rom for a while before finally deciding to sell it. I just use web,email, maps, and a few apps, so the larger screen didn't add much to my user experience. Whatever though, I digress ... if you get the gnex, you'll be happy with 4.2.2

I'll be honest and say that i do miss my Nexus solely for development purposes. You'll always be ahead in the game with the Nexus. I have a S3 now and the only complaints I have are development community, I wish it was bigger. There is a ton of pros and cons though so you have to go with what suits your needs not everyone else's. My main reasons for getting rid of it were camera and no external SD card but I should have kept it around to mess with. All around it was an awesome phone though and if for some reason my S3 broke and that's the only phone I could go for I would be just fine with it.
Sent From My Galaxy SIII

I like the phone so much I just bought an used one for the wife.

personally my opinion is that if you plan to keep the phone for about 2 years or so, spend extra 100 and get a Nexus 4. The reason is that while the Galaxy Nexus is fast enough, with new software update, it can bring it down a little bit. I have used Galaxy Nexus and feel it is a bit slower than the newer Snapdragon S4 based phones due to the CPU. In addition, the Nexus 1GB RAM is fine now but with next round of OS update, it may not be.
It is no doubt that Nexus 4 should support the upcoming Key Lime Pie (or whatever is called) and probably so would the Galaxy Nexus. While Galaxy Nexus will run KLP fine, I think you may possibly ended up feeling that it is a bit too slow once the software hits while the Nexus 4 won't. In addition, with N4, you would also be able to keep it a bit longer and enjoy the future software updates.

if you're on verizon, gnex is a good bet to switch. i was in verizon yesterday and none of the phones they have interested me. if you're looking for a gsm phone, nexus 4. i'm on verizon so nexus 4 is not in my future, but i'm very happy with my gnex being over a year old already.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I got my phone around November 2012 for free with Verizon. Though a year old I have to say that it is still blazing fast. If your looking for a great looking phone, this is it. There is a bunch of phones that are much faster than the Galaxy Nexus but don't let this deter you. It runs 4.2.2 super smooth under clocked. I'm sure it will run the next update just as fast. The nexus 4 is a great phone but depending on what you do, the extra speed is a little overkill.

Nope, I'm in Europe, so I'm one of those who have to buy unlocked phones, no contracts or anything. Personally, my Nexus S is pretty fast, but after using my sister's S3 for a while the screen became to small, the phone itself became too small. I gave it a thought and I don't think speed will bother me that much on it. I won't play any games except Temple Run or something like that, I use Nexus 7 for high quality games like Real Racing or Deadzone.
I can sell Nexus S for 150€ and get new Galaxy Nexus for 260€. Nexus 4 is only sold by retailers here, and you can imagine how big the price is. At least 400-450€, Note 2 and S3 are cheaper! Evil retailers. Second hand Galaxy Nexus is no more than 220€.
So yes, thank you all for replying!
