I absolutely love it. It looks great, it performs well and it's CHEAP. Oh, and it's a NEXUS!

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.

So yes.

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.

Nexus 4 or Ascend P6 ?

Any Nexus 4 users who tried or switched to the Ascend P6, would recommend which one of these two phones should one buy ?

We have the Nexus 4 and I also have the P6. It all depends what you want - the Nexus 4 can now be had for £159 sim-free and the P6 is £239 sim-free. The Nexus is a bit faster & smoother, but the P6 just feels & looks much nicer. I wouldn't swap the P6 for a Nexus, but for £159 the Nexus is a hell of a phone....

That's a tough call. But i taught the P6 was pretty smart enough from reviews like this :

Besides the better working processor and NFC function, in what way would you say the Nexus is smarter ?

Im only just referring to the CPU and GPU which really favors the nexus, but the P6 is still decent on those department.

Yes that seems to be the common review that the P6 CPU and GPU performance is not as good as it is supposed to be specs wise. Would some firmware upgrades make it better or is it hardware problem ?
Im still confused about buying the P6. I was close to buying the Nexus 4 and then from yesterday im close to buying the P6. And today i have come across the Xperia ZR as another contender. ughhh :silly: The Xperia ZR seems to be its biggest competitor rather than the Nexus (except in terms of Nexus recent drop in price).
There is also talk of LTE version of Ascend P6 coming in last quarter of the year and makes me wonder if i should wait for that. Does LTE version imply hardware improvements ?

well its not really something you can call a "hardware problem" its just that the cpu and gup on the nexus 4 is faster, thats it.
im not really into heavy gaming in phones, so it really depends on what youre looking for.
i was looking for the slimmest, compact, premium feel and most "smart" smartphone out there and overall the p6 just fits the bill, atleast for me.

I have the N4 and P6 - I have the P6 as my daily driver. Both are great phone, but the P6 just feels and looks better than the N4. The only I missed about the N4 is the Google navigation. P6 have a quirky GPS and also doesn't have the Google Text-to-speech engine, so the voice navigation sounds awful.

Where is the nexus 4 at £159? IN the UK?
Thanks

I had to quickly go to an alternate store and get the white. The first store i went had only one black left. And besides their stocks were getting over in a week. Last week i went it was over too and so i had to wait another week.

[Q] Deciding on Tab3 8.0 or not

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!!!

never not giving you my p6

P6 instead of your N5 or using them side by side?

I was all for getting the nexus 5 when it came out after having the P6 a few months, but heard bad things about the battery. On a full charge I get 2 days easily, sometimes more. Doubt the nexus 5 could match that.
I eventually got a hold of one in a shop last week and I was impressed, but after getting used to the thinness of the P6 i think i'll stick with it!
roll on january and kitkat.

I maybe could, because the lack of custom stuff on the P6

How is the quality of the p6 does it feel it well made like the iPhone 5 ?

I received the P6, used it for couple of days, and I compared it to Nexus 5. So this is what I think. P6 is the Best looking and very high quality android phone right now. But it has some flaws with ergonomics. The sides feel very sharp and because of that it feels very uncomfortable in hands. I feel like I'm going to drop it all the time ( when trying to unlock the screen or take pictures). And the software looks interesting like mix of iOS and Android, but its slow very slow if I compared it to Nexus 5. I even updated the software to b111 and it got smoother but not that much, and I think right now if I wait for Huawei to upgrade the software to make it more smoother its still is going to have glitches. Something is wrong with the processor or the GPU. So I decides to return it . thank all of u for replying and answering some questions. But its better to own the device and use it yourself to know which is better for yourself.

Well clearly it wouldn't be as smooth as the Snapdragon 800 powering a kitkat, on the Nexus 5. The CPU and GPU are no comparison.
But compared to other launcher skins coming on devices of other brands, the launcher is impressive and smooth enough. The b111 rom you used was 3 months older and there was some newer roms that provide better speed, but nonetheless it wouldn't be equal as the Nexus 5 as of yet, although i haven't used a Nexus 5. Hopefully the Kitkat+emui 2.0 upgrade coming January would provide better performance in terms of UI and daily usage.

Theoretical question - Nexus 5X

A thought has just occurred to me.
The recent Nexus 5 rumours led me onto a thought train. According to some of the rumours we're seeing, the new Nexus 5 may well be, to all intents and purposes, a slightly different G4, with added fingerprint scanner and USB Type-C. The rumoured specs seem to show they share the same SoC (Snapdragon 808, Adreno 418), same RAM (3Gb), same camera sensor... etc.
Theoretically, if the new handset was to share these specifications and come with stock Android (as previous Nexus devices have done), would we be able to port that ROM across to our own devices, to essentially give us stock Android (obviously with work to unlock bootloaders, or a workaround)?

Nope! Not gonna happen. Nexus 5 x will be an affordable midrange device.

Except there was no nexus 5 port to lg g2. A nexus 5x ROM would make the g4 perfect though. If only we could keep the camera set up. Oh well. The 10N update helped alot with overall feel. So let's see what marshmallow does! Hopefully it's an improvement. If love to try a vanilla experience on here though. Imagine if that's what the marshmallow update was!!!? We don't need this skin LG.

I like the fact that the nexus5x is likely to have the snapdragon 808 as ours .. and marshmellow will lead to a good battery life with this processor! and i'm sure that battery improviment will be also on stock LG update

I don't want anything less than 5.5" screen. If it has that, I'll consider. Thinking about switching over to the larger Huawei Nexus.
