nexus 7; galaxy tab 2; moto xoom 2. select the one which fits your budget and interests

What's your budget? What size?
I'd say get an asus padfone or transformer prime, if you're on a budget get a nexus 7!
Have read frequently about screen separation issues on the 7 so do your research.

I want a 10 inch tablet. I don't know the specs of Nexus 7. Would anyone enlighten me, please?

Just rumors but Google may release another tablet by the end of this year speculated to be around 10 inches with 3g. So either you could wait or just get your self e.g. a galaxy tab 2

Try the Galaxy Note 10.1, or wait a bit for the Microsoft Surface tablet
And if you don't know the specs of Nexus 7...... You are probably living under a digital rock

I'd say go with the Nexus 7. Best bang for your buck.

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.

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 is Galaxy Nexus so far?

This is my original post about how my N1 died.
Farewell to Nexus One
I am looking for new phone, and I am interested with Galaxy Nexus, as I am a Nexus fanboy.
So, how is Galaxy Nexus so far? How big the upgrade if compared to N1? I don't read any reviews about it yet, and I want to hear some small opinion or review from xda members.
Thanks a lot.
A giant upgrade!

Use the search feature and read existing reviews with 10+ pages. Its a lot more efficient than starting a thread.
You'll get a lot of biased posts as well since...well..you are in the Galaxy Nexus forum.
Its $350 without a contract. I think that's a steal. Get it.

I had the nexus one and loved it, but switching to the galaxy nexus was the best thing, don't know how I used the screen on the nexus one its tiny, plus you get faster radios, way better camera, a ffc and you can actually play games without the multi touch crapping out or being limited by the Adreno 200 GPU. And last but not least you get [email protected][email protected]!.
Get the galaxy nexus and you won't look back.

Nexus gives you wings?
.. but yeah, N1 to a GN is a HUGE upgrade. Any phone of this generation will be a huge upgrade. A caution of word though, after using Galaxy Nexus... your N1 screen will look like a joke. At least that's what GN did to me to any phone with a screen smaller than 4.5"
Hell, I went from the HTC One X to the GNex and it felt like a massive upgrade. I couldn't imagine going from N1 to GN. Do eeeet.
Get the GN and no mistake.
I'd changed my GN only with the next GN.
A big upgrade that's for sure.

Just use the open VPN for android off the market and you don't need to worry about tun. Just import your openvpn profile. Its nice app as you don't need root. It works on stock.

Why are you asking us? Let's be honest, you're going to do what you want in the end no matter what we recommend. And this being the nexus forum you already know what your going to hear.

I had the one s. Had a desire HD then got excited and got the s
Hardware wise great.
Screen felt small. Its way to thin. Development is nowhere near the x or older HTC devices.
I have had the x also in between though I had a nexus. Traded in for an x.
Now back on the nexus lol
Be honest its your choice but if your trading go for the x

I wouldn't trade my Gnex for nothing out except the Next Nexus!
I was at the club the other day and my friend was there with his friend! He has an HTC one s, we swapped phones and "played" with them for a few moments. I've ready played with the one S before but his reactions to how smooth and fast my nexus was, was priceless! He also mention how he liked the on screen buttons and size of the phone itself...
Just my little story, if I were EVER Trade for a one S, it would be 250.00 + mint condition One S for my mint condition White nexus....yes I know. Overkill. Lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Answer for these "should I trade" threads are same. Yes. Why? Well we all are Gnex users and we're Gnex users for a reason. Because we love it and it is a best phone in our opinion.
What does that mean? You will get a pretty biased answer, I'm gonna be honest with you.
You should really do a research on the phone and see if you think it'll really fit your life more than Gnex you know? Everyone's opinion is different.
Hell no, after coming from a Nexus you will see all pixels on the One S. I compared my nexus to my friend's one s and noticed all pixels, and see pixels every time now.

Don't get me wrong, I think Xiaomi makes great phones, but I would rather buy something that is officially sold in the US & Europe, because that kind of ensures that there will be developers who speak at least english.
I would not want to go through the hassle of finding my way through a chinese forum where no one speaks english and I have to use the godawful Google Translate to even get a glimpse at what is being said.
I wouldn't waste my time. You are used to a certain level of polish and dev support since you use a nexus. Regardless of what specs this xiaomi has it will still not be on the level of stability and overall usability of the nexus.
how much n where?
Just get it and sell it for more over here?

Not much of an upgrade....save your money for the NX5/Moto X
The N4's glass back will give you heaps of worries
If I had fully working gnex perhaps I would wait until n5 or maybe go for s4 or HTC one. But since it died and I didn't had unlimited funds I went for n4...and I am really happy, I would never downgrade. It's blazing fast, screen is awesome. Even voice quality (in call) seems higher. Of course it has its flaws, but which device hasn't? Wifi and data signal are as weak as on gnexus. Yeah glass back but that's what cases are for. Maybe it's not a huge upgrade in terms if camera (still very average) but it is a noticeable difference overall . For me N4 feels like Gnex on steroids. Exactly what I was looking for and I don't need much more.

Hey man. I recommend you keep your current phone and wait for the next Nexus. The N4 has a problem registering touches and can be frustrating. A lot of owners will deny it, but if you have someone else try it out they will notice.

If you want to buy a device which really makes a difference and shows even more ambition in supporting custom roms, have a look at the oppo find 5.

I've had the GalNex for about a year and I recently jumped to the N4. I can tell you that you WILL notice a performance jump. I'm not sure why but GN lags when it's running 4.2.
If you can stand the GN, keep it. If you can't, get the N4.
