Hey guys,
Just bought a Nexus 7 (32 GB wifi) for $250 ($230+$20 tax), but I still have the option of returning it. I read up somewhere that the Nexus 7 2nd gen is coming in march, and may be cheaper?? Do you guys think it is worth the wait? If it will be cheaper and have some noticeable improvements, I don't mind waiting for a couple months. Hope it will be cheaper too.
What do you guys know about Google's second iteration? Are you going to wait or did you snag one for Christmas?
I would wait because it will mostly have a tegra 4 of s4 pro so just wait for it and when all these Ppl have nexus7 1st gen you have the newest nexus 7 2nd gen and then u laugh at them and that's how it works lol

why not wait for the third, or forth generation. they will surely out perform the second generation

I only want to get the second generation because I am buying a Nexus already late in the game (and close to the 2nd gen coming out, apparently). I'm not going to wait for the 3rd one just when the 2nd one comes out, that's silly. But if a better Nexus 7 is coming out within a few months for cheaper, I know I'll regret buying this one.
I would suggest just keep nexus 7, but it's your choice.
I personally think that one cannot buy any electronic devices by waiting for the next new stuff, because a lot of new stuffs are gonna keep coming out.

Okay, well do we know anything about the 2nd gen model yet? That will certainly be a deciding factor.

Of course I'm going to be flamed for people thinking that I always want the next and better thing. I only was going to wait because of a rumor of it coming in another month or two, and cheaper. With that logic who wouldn't wait a month for a cheaper, better Nexus 7? If it's true it would be a waste to buy one now. I am not saying that I want to hop onto the upgrade bandwagon.

I didn't even know 2nd generation of nexus 7 is coming out until I read this thread, so I know nothing of it.
No second Gen nexus 7 will come out. Google won't replace this hotshot
If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
There is a rumor about low-end Nexus 7 ($ 99) in this quarter, but I don't know if that is what you are talking about. Maybe I'm the only one that don't know about 2nd generation. I really don't care about new stuff personally... I bought PSP-1005 one week before SONY release PSP-2005, and I never really think about returning it for change or regret about my purchase. I bought my Nexus 7 32gb 3 weeks ago, and even if 2nd generation came out this February, I don't think I will care for it.
If you really want the 2nd generation (I think you do), just return it before you regret it.

I have heard no rumors of a second generation Nexus 7.
It will happen eventually, but I would expect press rumors first.

I say just stick with your nexus 7
from everything i've seen on the internet, this "2nd generation" nexus 7 is just a rumor denied by Asus and Google. Even if it is a real tablet, the rumors have stated that it's a lesser-spec model. i dont know why you would even want that.
WHERE did you read that the Gen 2 N7 was coming out in a month or two?

It isn't, next one will be Tegra 4 and that's not ready yet.
The nexus 7 was announced at Google I/O last year. This year I/O is scheduled for May 15. If they announce a new model it would be then. However, I very much doubt a new, upgraded Nexus 7. Most likely a new $99 low end model if anything. Upgraded 2nd gen at the end of the year with the other nexus devices.

I figured many users may want to express what they feel about the new Nexus 4.
Well, in my opinion - It surely is a beast - I don't like the look of it though - The back looks stunning but the front is kind of weird.
THE BEST PART - The price is INSANE! 349 for 16GB GSM - Getting a 2G, Quad Core BEAST is INSANE!
Sorry for caps but it's just amazing! I'm trying to sell out my Nexus to get the N4.
The thing I don't like - It's not SuperAmoled - But it's not Pentile either.
Android 4.2 features are amazing, it looks smooth! I love that they finally included quick settings and the sphere camera thing is epic.
Let's get this thread going
the phone is very cheap for the hardware, but i think if it won´t offer a better batterylife i can wait. the nexus itself is awesome and very fast, there´s no need for me atm for more power xD
i hate the fact that google is gonna take the way of apple, getting money (50€/$) for 8gb extra internal storage... and the 8gb version makes not much sense. if u own such a device, you´d like to play games, that take benefits from the hardware and such games are 1gb+. all in all i can wait for the moment. in 2months i can get a new phone, because my contract is gonna expire
i´d always prefer a nexus, but hd display, with only 16gb storage sucks if u want to watch hd videos :/ so i might take an s3 or nexus tablet for that and stick to the nexus as mainphone, we´ll see.
I allready found some1 that want to buy my GNex but i wait until the release... I can't waiiiiiiiiiittttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_< damn 350$ 16bg???? so so so cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i paid 400$ for my GNex gsm 16Gb... but i really love my GNex (is the only phone that remeaind in my pocket for 8-9 months ) i usually sell my phone every 2-3 months

Doesn't matter! You'll still get all the updates in time! The Gnex development department is AMAZING. Get your hands on the Nexus 10 instead - That thing is beast! LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION
I get everyone's gripe about internal storage being insufficient and only HSPA+ device. Lack of LTE doesn't bother me. Apparently HSPA+ is a slouch on a couch to everyone. Society is now on the go, go, go age.

I got mine on 10/5, so about 3 weeks ago. Does anyone know anyway to convince Google to take it as a return? I see they have 15 days only on their website, which is honestly a joke... Except for big ticket items (cars, homes, etc.) the standard should really be 30 days and I'd even say up to 90. Anyway, any guidance is helpful, if there isn't any, no big deal.

How the hell Google is taking way of apple when Google is selling their flagship phone for $300-$350? Apple charges $700 for the unlocked iPhone 5. At this price I don't think there is any room to complain.
Sent from my Nexus 7
I am seriously considering getting one of these babies at launch. The specs look fantastic and I have grown to love stock android since getting my Nexus 7. I'm hoping I can set my 6 month old One X about £270-280 so that it will cover this purchase. The only downgrade will be the storage space but considering I only use about 4gb of the available space on my One X it won't be an issue.
I understand for some 16gb won't be enough. But if you look at what Google has done with the Nexus 7 I wouldn't be surprised to see a 32gb model released a few months down the line.
I'd like to see a screen comparison between the One X and the Nexus 4. I LOVE the screen on my One X and if the Nexus 4 screen isn't at a similar level it could make me decide to stick with what I have.

Undoubtedly! The Nexus 4 is SO cheap! I can literally sell my Galaxy Nexus right now for the same price of the Nexus 4.
At this point it may be difficult to sell the GNex at New pricing, unless you literally ordered it before it was removed from Play or you use convincing-enough wording when listing it on Amazon.

I'm going to buy direct from Google and switch to GiffGaff. It runs on o2's network so the signal will be the same. They have a variety of very low priced offers. Check it out: http://giffgaff.com/
I've cancelled my contract with Vodafone. Contracts are just too expensive in the long run. This phone will be around £25-30 for 2 years. That makes a total price of £600-720. Buying direct and using GiffGaffs £10 a month offer after two years it is £520
hi guys!!!
I was wondering if is better to buy the nexus 7 in the month of March 2013 or wait for the next releases of 2013? (sorry for my English)
Entirely up to you how you spend your money. If there's another device you're looking forward to.. I don't know, wait? Entirely up to you.

Thanks guys for your help!!!!
If someone wants to put their opinion, go head that will help me a lot to choose!!!!
As has already been said, it's totally up to you how you spend your money BUT I honestly think that if you wait around for the 'next best thing' you'll always be disappointed.
The Nexus 7 is an amazing device and is even better because of the pretty cheap price. Yes there's always a chance that a new version could be released if you decide to buy one now, but there's no guarantee that it will.
Don't play the waiting game because there is always going to be something better around the corner. It makes sense with non-nexuses because you have to worry about OS upgrades, but with nexuses you know Google will take care of you with OS updates. Plus the nexus is only $200, if Google releases something awesome that you absolutely must have, sell the nexus for 100 on craigslist and by the new one.
Depends on where you stay and how much you are willing to spend though... For me i stay in Singapore so there is no official playstore that sells the nexus 7 i have to wait for ASUS to import it here so the prices are quite high even now. 16GB wifi version averages out at SGD350 and it took months before it reached here. So if i where to wait for the new one then im out of luck .. Very likely that it will reach here only next year == So im not waiting and getting it this weekend Thats my story
I agree that waiting around is useless in most cases but Nexus devices get updated yearly and it is almost time for a new model.
I personally think a higher resolution 7" model will be a waste of resources since the N7 already has such a high DPI. If the current screen is "retina" type where individual pixels aren't visible to the naked eye, then why upgrade further?
The N7 is a fantastic device and I can't recommend any other 7" tablets. Seriously, the N7 is cheap enough at $200 and you can sell it or repurpose it if you ever want to upgrade.
May is several months away and who knows when the actual release date will be. I'd buy one now. At $200, it is better then being without one for who knows how long.

Like others have said, if you always wait for the next device which will be better, you'll always be waiting because every new device will be better.
BUT, since I/O is just 2 months away, I would recommend you wait IF you can live without a tablet for a while. But if you desperately need a tablet now and don't wish to wait, you won't regret getting the current N7. I have it and am very happy with it i.e. won't be upgrading to the newer model.
Its 200 bucks m8. You barely feel it over the budget. ehehe, and to be honest, its a brilliant piece of device, it isnt perfect but believe me when i tell you that its very very close to perfection, and its pretty, slim and accurate (and most of the N7 will agree with me on this one ). That question though is subjective because in the N7 case, Google ordered asus to make a TOP OF THE FOOD-CHAIN device of THE tablet's jungle, with the price of a Jungle Fly lol, (and they got the formula right since its the top seller for tablets atm). Now lets put it another way, obviously Google will order some new piece of tech even more raw than N7, but raw-ness costs money, imagine that a N7 II comes out with an outstanding octa-core? It will not cost 200 i tell you that much.
The more time you waste dueling on the should or should not, the more time you loose with the Nexus 7, go with the odds, N7 isnt the best of THE best only because of the low budget factor.
P.s. As much as i wanted to, i do not work for Google or asus, ehehe.

Just want to get this off my chest. I purchased an 8 gig nexus 7 online immediately after it was released. Being an iPhone user and having little to no experience with android products I fell in love. Good bye iOS. A few weeks ago I forgot that my nexus 7 was in my back pocket and got into my truck and cracked the hell out of the screen. I was not a happy camper. $200 and a trip to Staples later and I replaced my 8 gig with a 16. Wonderful. With the exception of the fact that the same day I bought my replacement and I was flipping through flipboard I read that Google is probably releasing a second gen nexus 7 this summer. Now I wish I would have waited for the latest and greatest for the same price. Only question now is should I return this unit and then go back in couple months for the second gen?

I think that you should keep it, 1st gen nexus 7 is a nice powerful device, off course 2nd gen will perform better, and I want to say that if you can live without it for 3 months, why not? But am afraid of the availability of the 2nd gen and also afraid of first batch...

Early adopters gonna adopt... early
I ordered the Nexus 7 16gb from Google the day preorders became available and I was one of the lucky ones that received mine on time and didn't have any of the issues that came along with many of the first run of devices like the screen separation or bad flicker or screen washout. So with that being said, I wouldn't count on being that lucky again. I'm going to hold onto mine until I see what all is going to go wrong with the first runs of the 2nd gen N7's because if I had had as many problems as others had with theirs I would definitely not be a repeat customer.

I'd say return it and wait, if they do announce the 2nd gen Nexus 7 it is most likely to be released a month after it's announcement, therefore it would be out by next month, Google I/O is only a few days away now, if there's no such thing and it was all rumors you can just buy the Nexus 7 again.
Don't wait for any new generation models. Simply enjoy what you currently have. If you keep waiting for the next best device you will never end up enjoying anything.
Say the 2nd generation Nexus comes out, and just a month later a better tablet in the same price range comes out from another manufacturer. What then? Just buy what you want and enjoy it and stop worrying over products which don't even exist yet.

Here's a list of specs of the next N7. I wouldn't call that jaw-droping. It just isn't impressive enough for me to ditch my current N7. But if by some reasons you want a rear camera and a Qualcomm chip then you should wait for it.
I do believe in getting as much as you can for your dollar.
I would use the N7 as long as you can before your return period. The I/O conference is this Wednesday. Well know more then.
But for $200, do you want this years model or last years?
I have a N7 and its wonderful. Typically on Nexus devices, you can easy get 2 years out of them before wanting to upgrade.
If you own a current N7, upgrading doesn't make sense. But if you are new and have the option of one or the other, I'd say the new one.
Faster processor, rear camera (which is useless on a tab IMO), higher resolution screen, Qi wireless charging, newer Android, an extra year of official support, more ram, etc.
I'm picking one up for lots of reasons.
1. Support the Nexus project.
2. New toy
3. Pass off the first gen as a gift to family member
4. Above items

No, because you will never be happy. Technology moves on, the Nexus 7 has been around for a year, a refresh is possible (but still not confirmed), and Apple are no different in this respect.
Call it a Nexus7s and you see that there is NEVER a right time to buy. Be happy that you have a unit that has refined production process with none of the niggles that early units sometimes had...
The Nexus7 is a great device, worth every penny, and it holds it's resale value well. Enjoy it for what it is, and don't try and surf the bleeding edge way, you will always be frustrated...
If you always wait for the next model, you'll never buy anything.
Its worth the upgrade. The tegra 3 was just about a year old the time the N7 came out. The S4 Pro isn't nearly as old, so it has a more current gen CPU this time around. Its a relatively inexpensive device.. its not like its 500$ every year.. whats 200$ nowadays? I've had my N7 since launch.. and the Next gen is going to be a first day buy for me. Im currently selling my N7 and will use those funds for the next gen. As one brought out.. use it as long as your return period allows you and return it for full price.. save the money and get the next gen.
And please ignore all the , "Wait for next years!" crap.. with that logic.. you'll keep waiting.. Next year they'll say the same thing.
I guess it depends if you bought it because you really wanted to do something with it or because you just wanted to check it out. If you just need a toy and you feel like you can wait, then you should.
You know what renews an old device? A shiny new update software can only go so far though.

+1 THIS!
And now some new rumors suggest that the new gen of Nexus 7 will be revealed on June 10.
Even if you wait till then getting the hands on the device might add a few weeks more as i'm pretty sure the first shipment will be gone in a day.
In short, keep your Nexus 7 and wait until you see the specs and availability before deciding to sell your Nexus 7.
Well if it was anything like last year, Staples and other local outlets will have them. I didn't have a problem finding one at all locally. Eventually the 16gb's started to become rare but there were plenty of 8gbs. And the 32gb version I bought at OfficeMax before it was even supposed to be released and didn't have a problem. They had a "skid" of them, they said.
I agree that trying to order one on Google Play will be tight though... but I've always had relief in buying one locally so that if there was a problem, I could just take it back and get my money back or exchange it on the spot. Shipments through Google Play last year were pretty horrendous with shipments lasting weeks.

But, I kind of want to wait for the Nexus 5 just because it may offer better specs. It's just so hard to pass this deal up because it's being sold at such an amazing price.
Am I the only one in this predicament?

Are you happy with your current phone? If so, wait for the Nexus 4 (2013).
(Side note: Why does everyone insist on calling the next Nexus phone the Nexus 5? The number refers to the screen size, not the iteration; observe "Nexus 7 (2013)" instead of "Nexus 8", and with Google having stuck to the same phone screen size for 2 generations straight and then reaffirmed their affinity for this screen size with the Moto X, I'm pretty sure that the next Nexus won't be 5", and it won't be called the Nexus 5.)
Even if you decide at that point that you'd still want a N4 instead of a N4-2013, the market at that point will be flooded by people selling their N4s as they upgrade to N4-2013s.

Ooo please don't go there, we're all sick of those naming discussions that lead to nowhere, every f-ing thread is spammed with that stupid debate.

I just wish other OEMs would follow suit with such low off contract prices.
Looking at you Moto X.
I'm actually really sad about this. I was in the works for trading my phone for a note 2 to try the screen size. The other party just gave me the finger I hope this means a new nexus will debut soon I've had this phone the longest of all my phones 9 month and now I'm starting to get that new smartphone itch.

Thought about selling it to get a newer one while there is still value. But my main concern is the issues with the 2013 nexus 7. But at the same time i wanted a larger tablet but dont at the same time. Plus my 2012 nexus is just reliable for me. Never failing. Not sure if i should trade a reliable tab then buy something that may not be as reliable.

Even if you buy the 2013 version you've still got your warranty to back you, in most cases you should get an exchange or refund if the device is brand new and only a few days old
Might be worth while buying the 2013 then selling the 2012 when you're happy

In all honesty what do you guys think I can get my 2012 for. Its in mint condition with a full zagg body shield.(hey gotta love zagg never had an issue). I was thinking of putting it on eBay or in a glass glass for future generations to be able to gaze on the technology that made the world.... Well world of tablets.

I don't know. The development section for the 2012 Nexus 7 is alive and well and everything is stable since its been out much longer, why not just save cash and wait until the 2013 Nexus 7 becomes more stable and reliable not to mention cheaper. You really aren't missing out on any exclusives as I'm sure Kitkat 4.4 will be on both the Nexus 2012 and 2013.
Besides, after the Nexus 7 got 4.3 that pesky fstrim problem went away so now you don't really get that terrible lag after a while. I'm running Slimbean night lies with the default stock kernel and lay out and I'm happy to present its very stable and very smooth and the battery life is above average at default voltages/gov/io.
TL;DR : If it ain't broken, TRY not to fix it.
