I saw this article yesterday but didn't know if it was true or not. Would you sell/trade you're current Nexus 4 for the Google Edition Samsung Galaxy S4? Will the Samsung Galaxy S4 be the exact same as the Nexus from a software perspective since it's pure Android?
I'm not a big fan of the Samsung build quality (ie plastic) but know there are a lot of nexus 4 owners that would like 32GB and a removable battery.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not. The Galaxy S4 supports AOSP. Those who want AOSP know what to do. That's just how I see it.
If it's unlocked and reasonably priced (maybe... like $400 for a 16gb model) I would absolutely jump ship for the S4. To me, a changeable battery and microSD card are killer features.
However, I don't anticipate it being much cheaper than a standard unlocked S4, so I probably won't be buying it.

Just wait for Google IO and see what is released
I miss my 32gbs of storage, however, I love the feel of my nexus....don't think I can go back to plastics. My batter lasts me all day even with heavy use believe it or not. I can't lie though sometimes it's close but it always comes through.

Oh god, please, just NO PLASTIC FOR GODS' SAKE.
I personally don't care which company makes the next Nexus, I just hope that it's not cheap plastic.

Well, not sure what to think of a google s4 version priced at $649 available at the google playstore soon.
If it becomes successful, that would definitely have a negative effect on the cheaper nexus devices.
Google I/O confirms this.
June 26, $649, 16GB only, ATT/TMobile with LTE support.
It's official just heard it on Google I/O 2013, 16GB with expandable storage, LTE, unlocked bootloader (works on AT&T and T-Mobile) and updates from Google for $649 on Google Play starting late June 26th. So who is getting it?
Seems rather pricey to me but I know people will buy it.

It's probably nice news for people who have a galaxy S4 on T mobile or att. Updates are almost guaranteed, as was the case with gs1 and nexus s.

They priced it high to increase the attractiveness of their TouchWiz S4. It's basic marketing strategies =)
Their goal is to obviously get people to use and be entrenched in the Touchwiz ecosystem.
In what could be a mighty Hoax or a controlled leak a new Nexus 7 has been "confirmed" by an Asus employee as having a better screen, rear camera and android 4.3

I call fake. How could the customer know the model number when it has not even been announced yet? Fake or its being leaked. But I'm edging towards fake.

Nothing on that actually confirms that it is the Nexus 7 II. Again, I am edging towards the conversation as being fake. The device that belongs to that model number is confirmed through the FCC, but is not confirmed through Asus officially.

I doubt it's fake. Asus already has a 7" tablet called Memopad HD7, doubt they'd make another one already plus the software name is unknown but indicates its running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Seems to good to be true. If this turns out to be true, I'll be damned cause I've just bought Nexus 7 3G a month ago
Who cares
Great, a camera I'll never use. Now Firefox will open .014 seconds faster
If you look through the FCC and Bluetooth Standard Records, you'd see Asus having a 7" tablet running 4.3 under the name "Nexus" being released soon. The specs are pretty spot on to what was posted here to what the FCC specs say.
So you have a new Asus 7" tablet with an S4 Pro under the name Nexus passing through FCC under the k009 Model Number, then someone at Asus posting the same details when asked.
This news is a few weeks old btw.
Like I said when I posted the screenshots "take it with a grain of salt" I really don't know why these tech websites are making it a big deal. It was just a conversation I had with Asus and I found it interesting so I posted it.
The representative could be right about everything or he could be wrong we'll know when the device is actually released.
I've just also had a chat with Asus and they said this:
Orville R.Hello xxxxx. How may I help you?
xx Hi I’m interested in buying the Asus k009? Do you know when it would be released to the public?
Orville R.The release date has not yet been determined however, hopefully by the starting of the 4th quarter of the year it maybe available to the public for purchase.

Isn't the supposed new battery smaller in size too?
ill be buying it the minute it's released. i need to replace this laggy nexus 7.
What about the yellow screen and terrible sound quality.
Oh, and the lags!.
The next gen nexus will fix all these issues, so IMO you were crazy to buy this tablet. Take it back to the shop and get a credit note. Then wait a few weeks.

Snapdragon 800 or GFTO. 600 will do in a pinch..
I have an 8gb WiFi model, and would like to upgrade.
I could get $55 from GameStop for it, although I will see if any friend would buy it for maybe $85.
Any ideas?
I will buy someones 8gb for $50 if its still in good shape. I have a feeling the price will plummet on the older versions once the new ones are released.
They are already selling for as low as $100 on swappa. I'd imagine they will drop further ones the 2nd gen is released.
Id def buy a 1st gen for $75 for my son to play with, to keep him off my 2nd gen of course. Our nook color isn't cutting it anymore.

I'm still on the fence about upgrading. I just bought my N7 about 2 weeks ago BNIB for pretty cheap so I'm a little late to the party.
Besides some QC issues the original N7 has been good to me so far

Phone is def priority, but if the N7 specs are true it will be a huge upgrade. Sure its still going to be vanilla android and do all the things your current N7 does, but it will be much much faster.
If I had a 1st gen I probably wouldn't upgrade either, besides a boast in specs, its not like the 2nd gen has any must have features over the 1st gen.

Given the price point, I'm liable to sell and upgrade.
Gonna keep, the n7 is so cheap you can't get much money for it.
if i sell my 32gb wifi i think i'll only get 120 euro's for it (payed 195 for it)
so if i upgrade (it's a big if, becausen i only got this one just a few months) i gonna give my old n7 away for free (proberly to my parents)
I have 2 I threw up for sale on Swappa last night

Any informations regarding the nexus 5 availability and pricing in Indonesia? Hope it doesn't cost an arm and leg, $450-500 for the 32gb model is quite fair, also i don't think the 16gb model will make it here just like it did with the n4 last year,

Never was this sad ever :'( Evleaks is always spot on. Well, I hope he is really wrong this time.... :'(
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

Nexus 5 (2014) ala Nexus 7 (2013) ?
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.

So what is all this big fuss about? Don't you think google has screwed us over and over again with these crapping phones. I've owed gnex, nexus 4 and nexus 5 and looking forward that they would improve their phones but bottom line is you get what you pay for!!!
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.
