I'm basically in no matter the specs as long as it's below $250.
I just sold my galaxy tab 10.1 for lack of a development community.....

Yeah the cheap price point is good, I'm debating on giving up on my a500 but i do want a smaller device, a ten inch tablet is a little uncomfortable most of the time

The gtab has AOKP. That's all you need
Tegra 3 + IPS Display with decent build quality and around $200 is what's making it easy to pull the trigger. I have to pull it though because it's running Jelly Bean, and will be up-to-date in comparison to any other tablet.
I might be selling my gtab 2 with omap4460 chipset and wolfson 1811 sound chip soon.
...
Pretty sure I'm in. Only question is whether or not to sell my xoom.

I *want* to be in because I like my GNex phone so much. But I'm not sure about the whole 7" thing. If I want real portability I'll use my phone. I'd rather have a 10+ inch display on a tablet which makes magazines, newspapers, Google Reader more enjoyable. I'm not sure I get the whole 7" tablet idea (for any manufacturer). Seems like just a big phone that starts to limit the things you can do with it.
What bag can you carry a 7" tablet in that you can't carry 10"? Do people really look at a 10" tablet and think they will have trouble carrying it around compared to a 7"? (serious question).
Not sure about the 7 inch form factor...i do know that the ten inch felt too big to me on the galaxy tab.
I'm also not convinced about the utility of a tablet.between my wife and myself we have 3 laptops,2 chromebooks, 2 newish Android phones (gn+gs2) and a kindle.
I just don't understand what a tablet does better than the rest of that.
BUT,i love geeking out with the roms, etc...so I'm in on the nexus7...

Any ideas if the little fella will come with a sim slot for mobile data?
That'll be the deciding factor for me.

I probably will buy it. But I Love the form factor of my galaxy tab 8.9 it is large enough to get more information on the screen, but not to big where you might as well have a laptop. I think that's the best tablet size IMO.
I was really interested but I'm not so sure I can justify it. I already have two "bastard" android Tablets. An hp zeen with no market or apps (7"), and an HP touchpad where most games are blocked or don't work (10", 3:2). I would really like something a bit bigger than 7" or something with an amoled screen, but it will be nice to have something with better support.

Depending on the screen resolution I'll pull the trigger on one. Even though my hp touchpad is running strong. :thumbup:

Give me a nexus tab 10.1 for $300 and I'm sold.
For sure I plan on one... not sure though if I'll unload the Xoom or not though, it's been good to me
Hi guys
Sorry if a bit off topic, but I was looking for sometime for a 7 to 8 inch device that can double as a phone and a tablet, and the best I found till now was the galaxy tab 7.7
The only problem is that the tab 7.7 has an outdated hardware. Has anyone come across a new device that is inline with what I just mentioned or knows of a new device that will be released soon
P.s. I have the seen the tab 2 7.0 and it has an even more outdated hardware than the tab 7.7
Thanks
Nexus7 would be my choice
on xda for android and mistyping like a boss
Not phone

Galaxy note is "best of both" I believe its a 5" screen its a phone/tablet hybrid so to speak.

Why do you want a 7" phone? Your best bet is to wait for the new Galaxy Note 2 rumoured to have a 5.5" screen or get the original Note.
Or get a 7" tablet like the Nexus and use a smart phone to tether to it?
The G-Tab 7.7 with the AMOLED display can be used as a phone. So can the G-Tab 2 7”. The 3G international versions of course. Samsung is absolutely pitiful at updating their tablets though. Every tablet they've sold before the 2's were released are still stuck on HC.
Oh well. I just don't see samsung as something worth buying if you've already come across another brand

Yes
Reduced weight and width are easier to hold
Increased resolution makes reading small text easier
32gb, wireless charging and HDMI out capabilities
Noticeably faster and more responsive
Screen is more fingerprint resistant
All in comparison to my old 16gb Nexus 7

You saved me some typing. ^
I'll also add, it fits nicely in the ol' pants pocket.
Love at first touch!
My first Nexus device and I'm really liking it do far. I must admit I do miss some of the functionality of Touch Wiz. But this tablet is a beast and a feast for the eyes. Really looking testing the multimedia capabilities of the tab.
Yep.
Nice price.
Looks cool.
Its google. It'll get updates as long as it can run them.
Dev support is likely to be off the hook until the next one is released if not longer.
No. Never with any device will I ever be satisfied because I love to tweak. I will always need just a few more MHz, or a touch faster I/O, or Tablet UI. But this is a Very nice tablet for it's form factor

You'll get plenty of tweaking opportunities soon if this is anything like the first generation.

Sorry to be a little off topic, but can someone give their personal opinion compared to the ipad3? I've been using the ipad3 for a while now and its very responsive in a lot of ways, especially when using chrome. My galaxy s4 seem a tad bit slower on the touch in chrome, so I'm hoping the nexus 7 would be as good as the ipad while using chrome or other browsers.

Hey guys,
I've been thinking about the 8 inch version of this tablet for about a month. Bought one in Australia for my Mum and she loves the pants off it (her first tablet).
There's a special on at the moment in NL which brings it down to 200 euros which is a fairly decent price, but I also have the option of picking up a 2012 Nexus 7 new for 170. I've read some really terrible things about the 2013 nexus 7 and a fair few complaints about build quality on the 2012 version. I'm a student and if I buy something, it needs to genuinely last for a good two years (preferably more) to be worth the cost. Have you guys been happy with the quality of your devices?
I have noticed that there isn't much development for this device. Is this just because root has only recently been found? Or is there not much interest because of the Nexus family? I've always focused on development in buying devices and it's helped me squeeze four years out of my HTC Desire bravo and three years out of a friend's Galaxy S i9000.
So essentially what I'm asking is, does it seem like development might pick up in the future, and if not, is the quality of the device high enough that it would be worth trading off development potential? Sorry to ask such a general question, but I'm tearing my hair out trying to make a decision while the nexus 7 2012 is still in stock.
Thanks in advance!
I'm looking for a 8inch tablet too trying to decide between the LG g pad or the tab 8.0 the LG has much better hd screen and a quad core processor

same here. I got the Tab 3 8.0 and I love it. But now I want the LG 8.3. I already have a plan to give my tab to my daughter since she plays with ti and get the LG. But I'll wait for a sale on it.
ROMs Available
Are there ANY roms other than AOSP? I can't even find a Cyanogenmod or AOKP for this device :/
I see that some customers are complain about screen brightness on the LG is dull. Compare to Samsung

I had the Nexus 7 2012 and currently have the GTab 3 8.0. I had no problems whatsoever with the Nexus. It was a good tablet. I just found the screen dark and cramped. I love the GTab 3 8.0. So it's not "retina". Big deal. The screen is crisp and bright and looks great to me. The tablet runs smooth and fast.
Honestly between those two models it's between screen size and whether having an SD slot is important to you. They are both great tablets.
Would you change your tab 3 8.0 for a LG pad?

You know why? Because we can't just bring up a new ROM for every device that comes out we need to build that if You cant wait do it by yourself otherwise just wait!!!

I have a Galaxy S4 and finally broke down and bought the Nexus 7 last week. Just love it. I can now actually read all the pdf files I need for work without massively squinting. It's an excellent size, fast, and no stinking bloatware.

I thought the same thing until I started to realize that for quick browsing and media consumption, a tablet is more convenient and battery efficient (I have the wifi N7) than either a smartphone or laptop (and I own both, with the S3 as the phone). Plus, if I want to bring the bigger screen out and about with me, it's so easy to do so.

I use my 7 tethered to my 5 to browse. Its a good solution to saving battery on the 5 because the screen isn't being used. I can browse for hours on the 7 and still have over 60% battery on the 5 before my day is over.

I have a Note 3 and still love my Nexus 7. My N7 is used mostly for games and web when I'm at home. My kids use it when I let them (they have to earn it) so its nice to not let them use my phone. There is definitely a difference when using a Note 3 and N7. Though the phone has a large screen, I still love my N7.
Its also nice to have a 2nd device if one is charging or has a dead battery.
The only thing I wish my N7 had was a pen like the Note 3. I bought my Nexus 7 before the Galaxy Note 8 came out and would probably still buy the Nexus 7 because of the price. Normal capacitive styluses just aren't as good as the S-Pen.
I have a note 2 and have tether on 24/7 w/ my N7 2013 now. I read everything on the N7 and don't really do all that much on the Note2 except quick texts (even though I text through the N7 as well using google voice).
I'm kind of thinking that I now want a very slim candybar like HD screen phone about 2.5 - 3.5 inches that is primarily for HD videos (like youtube) and phone calls. I use voice dictation so I don't care all that much for keyboard size...
I have a Note 2 and the 1st Gen Nexus 7 (until later today) and I like the combo. At home or in a cafe, I use the Nexus 7.
If I'm out running errands I will take the phone. The 5" size means I don't feel the need to take my Nexus 7 everywhere, and the 5 inches is very usable for anything I'm likely to do when out and about.

I have a galaxy note and a N7, I intend to sell the note and go for something a little smaller like the Moto G as all the note is used for now is quick browsing when out and about and calls and texts, and lastly as an mp3 player when walking. I keep the N7 in the car for anything else when I am out and about.
