im tempted to go buy a nexus 7 today in town for £190
do you guys think its worth its money ? i have a galaxy s2 on cm10.1 jellybean 4.2 so i guess its just a bigger version of my phone
have you been dissappointed with the nexus 7 when you bought it or do you think you have got a goot tablet?
cheers guys!
I bought it for christmas for my wife.
I have a Desire HD and she has a Incredible S as smartphones.
I have a Samsung Tab 10.1.
So as mobile tab or for ebooks it's the best one I think.
And it's a very good price. For a tablet in 10.1 inch you pay 400 £.
If you want to invest 400 £ buy a Galaxy Tab 10.1 otherwise a Nexus.
You wont't be wront.

I have been surprisingly impressed with my nexus 7. I bought it at launch, and I was already heavily involved with the HTC rezound and the Transformer prime tablet. I had also had two iPads so I thought I knew all I needed to know about tablets. Had my local staples not had one in stock aftrer launch or had it been more expensive I wouldn't have tried it.
But I'm so glad I did, because the 7 inch size surprisingly makes it feel, completely different from a 10 inch, and its so handy and convenient. My favorite part is the development. I set my tablet aside for a few weeks, and when I came back to it development had increased instead of slowed, so I get to flash and help work on toms of stuff.
If you have any more questions send them on but I highly recommend trying it.

I only have to say go head and buy it.
It's worth every dollar/euro/pound.

Asking this question in a forum full of people who already own the device seems a bad idea as far as getting unbiased opinions goes.
I suppose your right but I wasn't going to ask it in the galaxy s3 forum or anything else haha

You'll be glad you bought it! I had a 10" Transformer that I could never get on with let alone take anywhere! For portability nothing beats it and you will appreciate the pure Android experience for sure. I also thought I'd miss the extra few inches but in fact I prefer it because it makes typing and playing games much easier as your not stretching to use the controls all the time nor are you fed up of how heavy it gets in your hands although I appreciate that depends on what 10" you have.
Enjoy it!
I'd say go for it. The Nexus 7 is easily my most used gadget I own.

Galaxy tab2 10.1 is only £230'ish and the note 10.1 only £320'ish
Anywho, N7 is the best bang for buck on the market. Yes it has its flaws (well some do) but it's still a tidy, fast machine.

As a guy who has owned probably half a dozen different android tablets, this guy has said most of what I would have about the n7. At home I use it more than both my laptop and Nexus phone. Out and about I'll always take it with me in preference to my laptop as it's small enough to be very portable yet still large enough to be much more comfortable to use than my phone.

These 'should I buy' threads always make me laugh.
Why not go ask in an ipad mini forum if you should buy a 7 over a mini.
I'm sure they'll all say a 7 :what:

OK how about this just compare all the other tablets to the n7. Then look at what you get for your money. Hands down the n7 is underpriced for what's inside. The only thing that it lacks is a SD slot.
Seriously why did we get the n7. Sure its a nexus but we got it because of the price its cheap and gives you the most bang for your buck.

Here is a good article giving reasons for switching from an iPhone to the Nexus 4.
Nice write up, and SPOT ON.

He couldn't live with the Galaxy S3 but he's suddenly in love with the Nexus 4?
That's the part I'm failing to understand.

Lots of people find Touchwiz horrible
Touch wiz is more comparable to iOS than stock android is I would say. Plus, all of the must have apps that he mentions are also available on the S3.
As a new iPhone 5 owner, I actually agree with him - Jellybean is the best mobile OS - but the difference between the S3 and Nexus 4 is negligible, in my opinion.

I can't stand touchwiz. The core android functionally is there on the S3, but I can see why he likes the N4. Simple is beautiful.
You should post this article on some iPhone forum, and not on a Nexus 4 forum. There you might be able to convert some people. We know that the Nexus 4 is streets ahead.

The only difference between s3 and nexus is come may and we will be rocking key lime Poe and S3 users will have to wait for 3-4 months for it.. By Dec we will have another update for us where as s3 users won't know if they'll get it or not since s4 would be release by then.

Im in the same boat, i have a iphone 4s and a iphone 5, and still uses the nexus 4 daily... Ios became boring just plain boring... And the lack of integration in the os just makes me sick... I still love my iphones , but prefer the N4 for now...
Sent from my Nexus 4
Android os is better but an iPhone is a better phone overall. Battery and screen are amazing. Nexus 4 screen is nothing brag about. The price is the main bragging point.

Taking about GN being a great phone with great Dev support. I am finding my self skipping two generations of android phone with out any regrets, namely s3 now to be s4, and nexus 4.
Anyone waiting for the Nexus5 before thinking about upgrading?

seriously? ICS was laggy as hell.
It depends on a screen size (and free funds to spend of course ). If the screen size is 5" or bigger I will consider N4 of HTC One.

Really liking the design of that phone. The s4 just seems way too big for me and I would rather have a longer phone than a wider phone

Here here....current galaxy nexus owner and future nexus owner. I have a sprint gnex and a nexus 7 and I hope sprint gets the 5. My wife has an I pad and an iPhone 5. Swear not because I own android but I think as far as development and hacking go, apple doesn't come close

My upgrade is in September so I still have some time to go. If Google comes out with a vastly improved nexus without a recycled design from another device. By vastly improved I'm talking about Camera quality, LTE, full HD screen and battery life. Sure I'll go for the nexus 5 but if they don't improve all those than I'm going to contemplate jumping ship.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Hmmmm...Nexus 5. If you'll note, the current nexus lineup are all named according to the display size. For Google to add a 4th nexus device to the lineup is unlikely (to much to manage), so the best guess is a refresh of the nexus 4, possibly by another manufacturer, and probably later in the year. What we can expect for I/O is a refresh on the nexus 7 (with the same name), and possibly a non-nexus device from Motorola that runs stock Android.

I think we could expect a new phone as well. Considering that key lime pie is a major update, there is bound to be new features for phones not just tablets. So they will be probably need another device to show off the new features of the new build. I'm doubting they will use a nexus 4 as a demo device, its already fairly old news.

Yea but they first launched jellybean on the gnex when it was already 8 months old at the time instead of bringing out a new phone to launch jellybean with.

Didn't they launch jellybean on the Nexus 7?
i will buy a new phone after 2 days and i think to buy note 1 n7000
can any one explain what the problems that faces this phone
is it laggy ?
some peoples say the s2 better than the note !! i want to know is it real
I auggest go for canvas 4 instead of note 1.
Canvas 4 can easily beat note 1 in daily use performance.
U will see many people over here talking about benchmarks and an tu tu tu which frankly hardly makes any difference in daily usage.
Note 1 with JB is laggy and nobody can prove this wrong.
N same is the case with S2.
Canvas 4 less costly, many features are same except PEN. You will have smart stay, smart pause etc etc.
Go for nexus phone... Samsung nexus or nexus 4...

I loved my Note 2 but it was just to big. Using it everyday was fine but having somewhere to put it was a pain. Go to a game and try to put it in your front pocket and set down was impossible. I found myself holding it all the time which sucked. The S4 has been the perfect size to use it in the real world if you're active. Just my two cents...
I love my S4 but am also do for an upgrade and will be getting Note 3 when it drops.

Came from the S3 to the S4 too. Loved my S3 and the S4 is just the next step up. Great phone, perfect size, awesome screen. The note 3 is a pretty sweet phone too. It's up to you if the hugeness of the note is an issue or not.

And the increase in size will make it feel newer longer

I am staying with my s4 waiting on s5 so whatever the note 3 has now will be the past and old by the time the new galaxy s5 comes out anyways its part of marketing scheme new features better hardware etc..
Also don't want to bigger then this 5inch screen its just right for me but everyone has there own preference. Battery life is great on stock kernel with custom roms.
