I heard the next nexus 7 will be coming out this year. If you have the time I think it would be better to wait and get the new one.

It would honestly depend on your budget. If you have $300 for a tablet, then I would wait for the n7 2016 but if you only want to spend 80-90 then go for the 32gb n7 2013 model. It runs most games ok but still stutters abit. ElementalX performance mode makes things better tho. Don't make the mistake of going 16gb just shell out that extra $10 and get the 32gb one.

I played and finished those games on a Nexus 7 2013. Here are my advises;
first thing, check for the touchscreen problems. As you probably know, some devices come with ghost touches which ruin a gamer's mood
Then, there still might be some ghost touches, fix them with the mod provided here on XDA.
Now you are good to go.
About the games, don't worry they all run. Dead Trigger 2 is not so good on the highest graphic settings and NOVA 3 is only lagging at the last couple chapters of the game. They are not big lags though. You have 2 choices here; either lower the resolution to 720p with root (believe me, there is no difference in a game) or give a slight OC to the GPU. Then there will be no lag. Both work. If you do both at the same time, you will probably survive 2017 games, which is also my plan too..
I am planning to stick with that screen size until Google stops replicating Apple and comes back to widescreens.
Guys i bought nexus 7 2013.. This the device info
I need to know is my tablet support 4g?

Look in the LTE developement section. Make sure any roms or mods you are gonna flash is for deb. flo is the wifi only model. looking at the screenshot it would appear you have the model with sim (deb).

Hmm, I guess there were no announcements and no new rumors from Google i/o regarding a new 7" Google Tablet. A 7" tablet is the optimal size for me. Still very happy with my N7 2013, but I wouldn't mind a speed, storage and screen resolution bump.
If they do come out with a 2016 model, I hope they include a freaking sd card slot!

Not gonna happen. Google considers the need for external storage not to be a necessity for any device with more than 8GB of memory. I'm not one to say never but I won't be holding my breath for any Nexus device with external storage. Even adaptable storage was made for lower tier phones where internal is expensive but external cheap.
All that being said I still use mine a lot and find it to be very snappy. If there's one thing stock Android does its run well on older hardware.

N7 is great even in 2016 with a but. You can play games with great graphics without lag on KitKat only. But if u go with Lollipop and Marshmallow (meaning that you must have the latest and greatest)... Then find a different tablet as those Android versions are not optimised at all for our tablet (Google just doesn't give a damn about it)

This probably won't matter too much to our American readers, but the 32GB version of the GSM Galaxy Nexus has been canceled according to Expansys and Negri Electronics. Initially the latest Nexus device was supposed to be sold in both 32 and 16 gigabyte varieties. But, for whatever reason, the larger capacity model never made it to market. Now, word is that it may never happen. A couple of importers are saying they've been notified by Samsung that handset has been discontinued, which is particularly bad news since the Gnex (as the cool kids are calling it) doesn't have a microSD slot. We hope you like streaming all your media.

Not that surprising, the 16gb version hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves.

And yes, it does look like the 32GB version has been cancelled. Apparently Expansys and Negri have already confirmed they are not getting the 32GB in stock.
Way to go google. Nexus was supposed to be the champion phone that helped break some of the chains of the carriers yet here we are chained to 16gb and possible data charges.
Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
Relatively small amount of storage is the only thing about my GNex I hate.
While this is pretty surprising I just don't think that high of a % of people really need more than 16gb of storage.
I might be a bit of a fringe case on the other side, but I've yet to use more than 5gb on my phone (including the OS). Been using the phone for a few weeks now and have 11.3gb free. Even if you're an app and music fanatic, there is no situation in which you'll need 15gb of media on the device at any given time.
I get having to remove things to sideload a movie or two is annoying, but who does that on a regular basis, really?
On devices like the iPhone that widely offer 16gb, 32gb and 64gb models I'd venture to guess somewhere in the 85% of sales are of the 16gb.
Oh well. Its a keeper till the SGS3.

I'm sure it works great for some people. But I found that when I'm out biking, streaming music is very unreliable on T-Mobile here in the Phoenix area, so I have to keep my music on my device. I also tend to download a lot of pod casts and videos, streaming just hasn't been reliable enough for me.
Regarding the 32GB GSM model being cancelled. Not surprised. The Nexus gets zero respect from hardware manufactures and carriers. Google seems to have pretty much no leverage and is already bending to their demands (Verizon apps and branding on a Nexus? Wow).
I hope Google goes with Motorola and has enough influence with their new purchase to do the next Nexus right. Galaxy Nexus is a good phone, I like it, but Samsung did half ass a few things and definitely is more interested in it's own Galaxy S line than this Nexus.

This. Most of my music is up on Amazon Cloud. I have 25GB available.
I feel for those that care about this, but I don't. I switch music out on my phone quite a bit and have many apps installed , half of them I could probably delete and not care. I still have around 3G free, which is plenty.

What about people who have a reason to minimize data usage or maximize battery life?
What about people who get spotty data coverage or no data coverage in locations?
The cloud is great iff you can access it.
I simply see no reason to use expensive and resource intensive networked resources when a little bit of cheap flash would do.

Then this is NOT the phone for them, "These are not the Droids you're looking for", as it were. Pretty simple really. Plenty of options out there. God forbid they would get a PMP for their media needs...
A phone is primarily a communication device first, at least for me.
lol i bought this phone because i wanted direct aosp support. i don't care about otas and 32gb storage. And have you people ever heard about OTG for your massive storage needs?
hope google does indeed success in buying motorola mobility though.

I thought the whole point of Nexus was that the phones would fall outside of the 18 month window to be better than the bastard carrier phones.
I'm wondering if lack of gnex support isn't because the kernel is limited to 3.0.x. If so, we'd need a talented Dev to come up with a newer kernel.

It's rumoured that 4.4 will run on a new, ram friendly, kernel. Been stuck at 3.0.x woudn't make porting 4.4 a problem?
Deleted. Reason = Double post.
This is shocking, to be honest. They even advertise that 4.4 will work with phones that have 512MB of RAM without issue yet the Gnex has a whole 1GB. And 18 month support window for a dual-core phone? That should have been extended to 3 years to compete with Windows Phone and iPhone, both of which still have similar or even lower specs than the Gnex on many handsets still in use.
Looks like Google doesn't care enough about customers to at least finish the 4.X series for them.
I should be buying a Nexus 5 anyway. It's been fun, guys.

It may be, but custom ROMs should work OK. If there are any kernel dependencies for 4.4 they shouldn't be so hard to port. Phone I had before GN, Xperia X8, has full, working 4.1 custom ROM on 2.6.29 kernel so it can be done

This is really disappointing.
I was thinking about replacing my gnex within few months with nexus 5, but now I don't think I'll do if Google abandons its customers like that.
The whole point of Android 4.4 is to give a better performance on low end devices, but if Google won't upgrade it's own devices, so which manufacture will???
iOS 7.0 was released to iPhone 4 that it's 3 years old - Galaxy Nexus is not even 2 years old!
It's really frustrating!
If I'm going to run hacked up ROMs, I might as well get a nice phone with a nice camera. Maybe 4.3" and removable battery and SD card. And blackjack and hookers.
Very crappy reason considering why people purchase Nexus phones... not that it will do anything, however be sure to to tweet your annoyance to @GoogleNexus @android @EricSchmidt @googleMobile
Fingers crossed for custom roms i guess then!

Hello!
So now that Nexus 5 is officially available...anyone jumping ship :laugh:
I am thinking but the bigger battery(also replaceable) and bigger screen are making me think twice.
Things going for Nexus 5 are the "updates" ....so thinking and waiting for reviews...
I don't care much for the faster hardware as i usually don't play games much and 16 GB would be enough for me as my usage never exceeds 5 GB.
p.s. just thinking loud and sharing my thoughts ...please don't go ballistic on me

I doubt that I will. There's just not a compelling enough reason, and I bought my LG OG Pro with all it's features and 32GB internal memory, etc. for far less than the N5 16GB model!
No, it's nice, but not worth it.
Nope.. Let's see when Nexus 6 is released.. For now OG Pro is perfect for me.
Dat 5.5" screen + 32gb internal + external SD slot is what's keeping me from the Nexus 5.. Same as with the Nexus 4 and LGOG. My internal is half full and about half of my 64gb card is half full so I definitely need the storage space lol.

I have the F420L, and it makes me sad that there are very few developers working on the OGP and fewer still want anything to do with the F420 variants. The Nexus 5 has great software support from google and the dev community, but its hardware isn't that much better than the OGP to justify purchasing it right away.
Not really. Had my white (unbranded) OGP for only a month and loving it (looks and speed). The N5 just looks too plain for my taste and in white it doesn't look any better; Zebra complex.

I really do miss the various roms I had on my S4. In addition, some kernels allow you to have 2 roms installed!
Mainly I miss development, and I sorta like how it looks (N5).

Well, I took G Pro for his big screen, perfect for watching tvshows and movies... so my answer is : no
Micro-SD slot is mandatory for me, or at least, 64gb internal memory !
I finally received my LG Optimus G Pro today, so all my previous comments have been based on speculation. I finally have had the chance to really use the device.
While I did enjoy the stock UI more than I anticipated, I ended up with CyanogenMod installed, which is what I had planned to do with the device. Coming from AMOLED devices in the past, I am extremely impressed with the LG's screen. I much prefer it, so for me, IPS is my new default standard. The color is far more balanced and reading on it (which I do quite a lot of) isn't as taxing on the eyes.
The sum of its parts makes the LG OG Pro the unsung gem in the smartphone world, IMO. I'm extremely pleased that I sold my S4 and even with the extras, such as the AT&T case that activates the phone when flipped open and sleeps the screen when closed (works fine on CM, btw) a dual USB car charger and some screen protectors, I still have $150 left over from the sale of my S4, and I doubled my internal storage capacity in the process.
If this device had a fully unlockable bootloader, I don't think I'd ever sell it. The S4 has cheap plastic trim, but it looks to me like the OG Pro has real metal. The camera shutter and flash works faster on the OG Pro than the S4.
All in all, there's not much compelling me to look at the N5. It costs more and gives me less of what I wanted.
Actually in my opinion there is no reason to jump to Nexus 5 until Dev support continues for this phone....saying that anyone has any estimates/predictions as how long will Cyanogen support will continue foe this nice phone? :highfive:

I don't see any reason why it would stop being supported. With Loki, we can continue to work around the bootloader, so I don't see any problem with future development, but there may be a major change in something that screws that up. If/when the bootloader is patched to prevent the Loki exploit from working, and if the bootloader is tied to major functions on the device, as it is in Samdung's S4, then we could have a problem.

No longer supporting devices past 18 months, pretty simple idea.
It would have been good if Google made a demonstration of how Kitkat is capable with the lower end device, e.g. Gnex or the NexS.

I fear that is the case already. I am not seeing a lot of movement on the 4.4 ROMs out there, the threads are not that active, and it appears that hardware (GPU) is blocking real progress in allowing 4.4 to be stable on the GNex. I rolled back to CM 10.1.3 which has been rock-stable with good battery life and strong signal for now, and am under contract until June before I can upgrade without penalty.

Point taken, but my comment wasn't about patience, it was about volume. The traffic just appears to be less than in the heady days of JB, for instance. Fewer posts IMHO means more people moving to other devices. I hope I'm wrong!

While KitKat is said to be able to run on lower-spec devices, this doesn't mean every phone ever made will begin to receive updates, nexus or otherwise. Will the HTC Hero receive KitKat? What about the Evo 4G? It has 512mb ram, and should run it just fine. This update was created to get rid of Gingerbread from the entry level devices being sold in developing countries.
I want to buy this tablet but I don't know how about everyday use(internet browsing, using games) and rooting. Is it easy to ROOT?
Thx for answers. Merry Christmas!
The 2013 Nexus 7 is a great tablet many reviews say its the best tablet available at this time. HOWEVER that is only if you can find one that doesn't have any touch screen problems (do a search).
As far as unlocking and rooting goes its a little more difficult then many other tablets but I would recommend using one of the 1 touch methods to make it more simple. I used the Skipsoft Nexus toolkit and it worked perfectly. It also makes it easy to make changes in the future or try different ROMS.
Best of Luck and Happy Holidays.

It's the easiest thing to unlock and root ever. It's a nexus, fastboot oem unlock is all that is needed. Others don't allow as easy a method as that

I just got mine today with a price match at best buy (practically got a 32gb for 200) and I personally think it's one of the best self-gift I got myself

nice, i have TWO im using now lol
both only the 16gb version , one is 3 weeks old i only paid 150cdn and one i got at launchday july 31 for 226cdn at staples
the 150 is perfect except for the very low sound stock, no reboots yet that i know off
my original launchday had killer reboots ever other day and i had to RMA it for bad speaker
I got mine on Saturday and I love it!
What's better than 1 nexus 7 FHD? 2 Nexus 7 FHDs My mom has the 16gb variant I'm using the 32gb device. These are wonderful devices that suits my needs as a student. An android workhorse that gets things done in style. The 16gb that I got from Staples on launch day occasionally reboots, however the 32gb I got from google play last month is perfect.

Really fast and easy root process. On my HTC One V is more difficult.
