Help me decide my next Android purchase

Hi guys. I have a Nexus S and I already posted this in the NS and N4 forums.
Now... I've been wanting a Nexus 7 ever since it was announced, but only now that I can afford one.
But now I see I've got a chance to buy a 16gb Nexus 4.
I was planning on continuing to use my Nexus S as it totally rocks running CM10.1 and using the Nexus 7 for browsing the web around the house and playing games.
If I would buy the Nexus 4 I would obviously not afford the Nexus 7 for a while. But the Nexus 4 is such a sexy piece of hardware and it has a much better camera than the Nexus S and I've got a baby on the way and I would love to be able to take good pictures and HD videos of my little ones.
Help me decide!
Nexus 7 + Nexus S
Or
Nexus 4 only
I´ll tell you one thing that might sway your opinion a bit...
I am in Iceland... A 16gb Nexus 4 is 99.900 ISK = 775 USD. A 32gb Nexus 7 is 59.900 ISK = 465 USD.

Well, speaking as a newer parent (22 month old daughter) in the long run you'll value your pictures far more than whatever hardware you get today. So if the phone will be your primary camera, get one with a good camera...and fast. My Evo 3D was so slow from button press to photo actually taken, I kept missing great shots...but I digress.
Those prices really suck though...makes me think there could be money being a technology mule. LOL

Nexus 7 + Nexus S.
Then wait for the next nexus phone or the 'rumoured' X-Phone by Motorola.

Nexus 4. Quality pictures of your baby will be more valuable. Later on you can get the new nexus 7 inch device.

Sounds like a tough pickle...if it wasn't for the pictures I would say go nexus s and nexus 7 that is about to be my combo when my nexus 7 comes in. I went with that option simply because I was tired of waiting to get a nexus 4 that and I am temporarily computerless.

Well if you get them shipped from america and paid american prices you could get both for the price you are paying for the N4.
There are companies you can use to buy them and ship them to you.

I recommend you the 7 & nS combo.
The 7 is a dream.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I would say you should get the Nexus 7 and keep the Nexus S. That is what I did, and I love it.

I would take the Nexus 7 cause i don't care about camera and the nexus s can do almost all things the nexus 4 can.It's just slower.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I'm actually swaying toward the NS+N7 combo.
I'm seeing a lot of threads about issues with the N4. I'm not the type who has to have the newest gadgets so I think I might just wait until most of the issues with it have been resolved and then it might have reduced in price a bit here in Iceland.

I have both the Nexus 7 and Nexus 4.
You should definitely get the n4. Why downgrade to a 2 year phone? I bought the n7 first then a month later i got the n4. It's been great so far. My only wish is that my n4 would be more battery efficient like my n7. I love my n7 because of the size, gaming performance is amazing, and did i mention battery life is superb?

My Nexus S can do pretty much anything the Nexus 4 can... Although a lot slower I am rooted, running CM10.1
I think a Nexus 7 will quench my thirst for a quicker device which can browse the web and play games around the house.

I have lived the nexus 7 since launch. if you need a phone as your main camera thenget a Samsung. I bought a nexus 4 sixteengig. sold out right away and bought notetwo. battery life wasn't that Good andno ability to swap batteries. the 3100 mah battery on this bad boy means you will never . miss a photo or video opportunity due to dead battery. internal plus a 64gig external means recording lots of hd video. I would hit eBay.

I was also considering a new phone, but got the 7 instead, and I'm so glad I did. Love it. Quite happy still using my galaxy s(1) for a while longer. The nexus 7 is something different than just another phone, when you already got a phone that you're still happy with.

So the general consensus is "screw the kid and your memories, get a tablet instead?" Nice... :what:

Get the N7. The Nexus 4 to me, just isn't worth it. Too many things led me to not buying one, and I instead stuck with my Gnex. 90% of users don't even use that Snapdragon CPU. The camera isn't that great. Front and back both glass which is a big no no for me.
Trust me, the N7 is well worth it.

It seems to me that with that difference in price, you could buy the N7 and then get a decent little point and shoot (or maybe even a super zoom) camera. Keep your S for a while and save, then buy the N4 if it's still what you want.

Possible Nexus 8

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
http://www.idigitaltimes.com/articles/18724/20130709/nexus-8-release-date-specs-price-rumors.htm

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

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...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I am surprised he didn't say Nexus 7s or something, but you can never be sure.

Well well never know for sure until we get some leaks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Actually you won't know for sure before the release. Leaks mean pretty much nothing.

I'm sure in nexus 7 2nd generation at october.
In Italy who know when

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.

Nexus 7

I was wondering if anyone is getting the new nexus 7 but is it worth it? I was thinking if I should wait for the nexus 10 are you guys getting the new nexus 7?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The nexus 10 and the 7 are complete different products to me.
The 7 is actually fits in my pockets and is a portable device. The ten inch tabs don't.
Also 10 inch app support still flat out sucks on android on top of that. A 7 inch tablet you can actually get away with a phone app on it. Even apps that are optimized for the 7 often have a different layout than the larger 10 inch.
I used to bluetooth tether to my 7 and use it basically in place of my phone when I had it with me.
Depends on what you want. The 7 may be to close to a phone for some and so on.

I'll be getting the nexus 7. I've been waiting, and I can finally buy it!

Here's a small sampling of the various rumor threads that have been started about the Nexus 5
nexus 5 based on moto x
Sony Google Nexus 5 Concept Phone
LG Nexus 5 is a comin
Moto Nexus 5 is coming
LG to make Nexus 5

What happens after next years Nexus 6?

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.

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.

Nexus prime. They should use that name officially for the next nexus.

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
