I have an iPad 3 but don't really use it too much anymore. I only really use if for iDraw, but apparently there's a good alternative for Android.
I have a Nexus 4.
I really like the size of a 7" tablet, and I don't like the mini - only reason I'd get one is to transfer my iPad apps across.
So, should I buy a Nexus 7 or wait another month? Will a 2nd gen Nexus 7 be coming out soon, or should I just go for the current model?
Wait for second model. Should be out come June or July.
I say wait. The second generation will probably be out before November.
You could consider the Hisense-Sero 7 Pro also. Spec-wise similar to the Nexus 7 but has microSD and microHDMI ports but only 8G of memory but only $150. Something to consider if you really want a device now instead of buying a device at the end of its sales cycle. There are a few threads here on XDA about the Hisense device.

I got mine last week. Unless you want to wait on a rumor, I think the current Nexus 7 is pretty great.
Just wait for the nexus 7 2g

The current Nexus is pretty great but if you are going to spend your money, why not wait a couple weeks and see what's up. The OP has a iPad 3, so he isn't out a tab. Plus he has a Nexus 4 to play with.
If the situation was different I'd say otherwise but currently you're best to wait.

I'd wait for Second.
The nexus 7 is still a great device but the New Nexus 7 will be out soon.
like i say evrytime, just wait patiently.

I'm waiting. But not for the new N7. I'm waiting for the Asus MeMO. All this for $129?
Hi, yesterday I went to Staples to buy the Nexus 7 32gb for $169. I asked the Staples employee if the Nexus 7 discontinued? He said yes we are getting the Nexus 8. So I don't know if there is truth to that, but he answered pretty sure. And it felt like they already have some stock for the release date. Is it possible we can get a Nexus 8 instead of 7. I asked 7 or 8 he answered Nexus 8.
I found this also

Could be a nexus 8 at october. But is possible also a nexus 7.

I dont know. Maybe they have stock? I asked him that( so the nexus 7 is discontinued? Becuse you guys getting the newer model? And he responded yes Nexus 8) thats all. He might be stupid and just guess if its 7 then the new model is 8? I dont know.

Yes, I bought mine almost 2 weeks early at Staples.
Just a thought but, Maybe he was confused and assumed that the new one would be called Nexus 8 because it comes after 7. I think it's safe to say with all the leaks that 7" is what is replacing it. I honestly don't think they'd do a 7" AND 8". That would be a VERY bad idea and would cause confusion and kill sales. I think it's cafe to say that Google will keep the 3 Device setup but try out a couple of others (rumors of Game console (like OUYA) and a watch have been floated).
I think Google would keep this information more private and request it not be shared with employees. Like said, it is probably the Nexus 7 Second Generation.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
You should go back to the same guy and ask if he has any idea when its coming out.
He probably didn't realize the 7 meant a 7 inch screen size and thought the 8 was the second generation like iPhone 4,4s,5...

Yeah we've had some "leaks" but still don't know a thing.
I've heard some many "involved" people say August. Retailers wouldn't be clearing stock months in advanced. iDevices don't sale until another one is announced, give or take a week.
Apple is at least more structured with their release dates. Google makes it hard. Nexus phones can be released anywhere from September to December.

Afraid of what CPU they'd put in it. If its Qualcomm, there might be problems with it being open with the Nexus 7 2013 fiasco with JBQ leaving AOSP etc.
I would think either a snap 800 or something like the moto x and the features become standard android in key lime. The funny thing is I hated leaving amoled now I dread going back.

Thats the thing, I want a Snapdragon 800 but I don't want it if the factory images aren't going to be released as well as the GPU drivers. Thats the reason why Nexus 7 still doesn't have factory images available (or binaries).

Its not a true Nexus device if those files are missing. Yeah... I really do like the IPS screen. I think they're going back to Super AMOLED if its amde by Motorola. Its a bummer that LG G2 isn't the base of the Nexus 5. LG screens are amazing.
Maybe a LG G2 Google Play Edition inbound?
I think I see what Google is doing the moto x will probably be almost free on contract by the time nexus 5 is out and new nexus will probably be rock solid design and since everyone is fine paying 600 dollars for Google play editions phones new nexus will probably be 499 or 450

No I want the LG nexus. Really liked LG G2 specs
Title of this thread is wrong. If Motorola is making a Nexus phone it would be based on their 4 inch screens thus it would be the new Nexus 4 (not Nexus 5). I could see LG making a Nexus 5 based on the G2 and perhaps Motorola making a Nexus 4 based on the Moto X.

Me too. There must be some prototypes already since there ain't so many months left for the proposed release. They can't just make up something in short period of time.
My money is on Motorola, sadly. They have now that thing going on with their manufacturing plants and everything so logistics and all would be so much easier in US.
Still, LG with G2 specs would have been much better choice.

Um no? The nexus device is usually a international unlocked phone so their factory is strictly for the moto x since it is a us exclusive plus it cost more to make it here so the phone should cost more. The lg G2 is nice but it's not all about specs

No way we get two nexus phones and that doesn't make sense one phone to lead the direction of android. Seeing the moto x features and key lime pie around the way I this all makes sense. Now what probably will still do is sell the nexus 4 from lg and maybe 250 for a 16gb. Its not like nexus specs are even dated yet.

Qualcom hopefully release the drivers and follow lg nexus with the manufacture of five.
So, the Nexus 5 is out
And next year the Nexus 6 will be out, I guess...
but what will happen then? Google can't release a Nexus 7, since they already have it...
What do you think will be their solution?

It won't be Nexus 6, just like this year's Nexus 7 wasn't called Nexus 8. We are going to be looking at a Nexus 5 2014 or "the New Nexus 5".
i think it is named NEXUS 5 because of the nearly 5" Screen.
The next NEXUS will probably be named the NEW NEXUS 5

The number is an indicator of it's screen size, not generation. There has already been 2 Nexus 7s. It's called Nexus 7 (2013).
Nexus5V2
At some point I think it'd just be "Nexus."
My guess is that it will either be called Nexus 5 (2014) or they will just come up with a new name.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well a bunch of people already said it but I'll say it again.
Its based on screen size. We will most likely get 'The New Nexus 4/5" or "Nexus 4/5 20xx Edition" they might make a nexus 6 depending on how well people like the Galaxy Note line up and other 5.5in+ screened phones.

Or they might go to letters though that's less likely. Like maybe they say the nexus g or nexus z, etc. Maybe they'll say something like nexus x like the moto x though none have the same ring to them. I like what you said about nexus prime though I think that's too flashy for them

Roman numerals.
this crap again? nobody knows for sure if the N5 was named such because of the 5th gen Nexus phone, or the 5" screen size (although the N4's 4.7" was much closer to 5" than 4")
lets all just enjoy the Nexus 5 for what it is and stop this retarded speculation of a phone that is a year away from being produced (if it gets made at all, since there is no guarantee in the first place)
They cannot use the "Nexus 6" name whatsoever.
Blade Runner and co. own the rights.

Pull a Final Fantasy. Obviously the best idea.
Nexus V-2.
They could name it after the major Android release. Like they could have called the Nexus 5 "The Nexus KitKat" and then next year could be "The Nexus Licorice, or Lemondrop, or whatever they are going to call it." Or so it doesn't sound so silly, they could just use the letter. Nexus K, Nexus L, etc...
They'll start calling it Google 1

Sad day, at least I have the last of its kind...
what a sad day.. now we wait for the silver program
Nothing wrong with silver other than maybe higher priced phones...... Hopefully it's not GPe phones that just turn into silver....
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
i still believe there will be a n6..probably the last one
As sad as i am about this news, in a way i am also happy. I think the Silver line will get better support (fixing important issues quicker) and overall the phones will have less compromises (build quality etc..), and better availability (especially for people outside the US and select EU countries).
The movie blade runner owns the name Nexus 6 so the next Nexus phone will be called something else

Silver lining for $200 more probably... There's no way carriers/manufacturers would be OK with google selling a $300 phone next to their $600 phones.

This is plausible, there might not be a Nexus 6 but instead a Nexus device with a different name (probably with the word Nexus in it).
If this were the case then @evleaks would not have emphasized the term silver lining

This just means that Google is terminating the Nexus program early since the Android Silver program is not being accelerated to replace it. I wonder what their motivation for doing so is. Also, what does this mean for the Nexus 8?
Last year evleaks said that D820 is not the new nexus, but a CDMA G2 variant. He was wrong, lol.

I will never buy another google phone ever and as a matter of fact, I will buy anything that headlines or competes directly with the nexus such as the OnePlus One the nexus killer!!!

Imo..the Nexus line is more alive than ever....
A lot of new accessories...
A lot of Google+ posts. From nexus celebrating the evolution of Nexus and from Google employees showing N5 photos all around the world.
A lot of new Countries with the Play Store's "Devices" branch.
However...there will always be a replacement......A reference device (or devices) for Android....called Nexus or not.
