Nexus7 Spotting

Hi everyone
I commute to work into the city every day.On the train I see the usual suspects iPhone/ iPad Samsung galaxy and a shed load of Kindle touches.
With Nexus selling loads why do I feel so lonely? I have yet to spot anther Nexus7 user.Have any of you spotted one yet?If so when and where?

I've seen several. A friends of mine has one. At places like chick fil a and Atlanta bread they r a frequent.
I live in Alabama though.
War Eagle.

I've never met anybody in person with a nexus anything. That's one reason why I love the nexus line. It's a lot more rare to me and not "trendy". It's not a social status symbol.

I have yet to see one too! Although every iPad user I see is interested in my awesome tablet! :laugh:

Most places are still sold out of Nexus 7 so many would-be Nexus 7 owners have not gotten theirs yet. With that said, other devices such as iPad or Kindle have been out much longer so it's not really a fair comparison either.

Someone I saw had one yesterday, and I heard someone else say to him 'wow, its like a mini ipad'

I take mine down to the pub regularly and someone always says "wow! What a big phone!" or words to that effect.

Also, when I have shown it to other people, nobody has had any idea what it is and has never heard of it either!!
The general reaction is "is that like an iPad then?"

mini ipad

Downtown Boston, McDonald's. He had the 8 gb and we swapped apps. It was cool to talk to another N7 user. Although he wasn't that tech savvy... He had no idea what "landscape" and "potrait" was :-/

In my area the nexus 7 is super rare because I'm the only one who ordered one from the only gamestop in my area! Plus the rep that gave me my tab told me to stop in and tell him how it is because he wants to trade his iPad in for it!

Finally saw one on the underground in the UK last weekend no case naked nexus *tut* *tut*

Mine is naked, I have a case coming from ebay. It has a screen protector though
I have to constantly explain to just about everyone why I have a nexus 7 instead of an ipad. Not only do I like it because it runs android and is a nexus devices, but am I the only one here who thinks that ipad is too big and heavy??
I know of only 1 person other than me with a nexus 7. Poor guy was harassed over questions about his 'mini ipad'

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...

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

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.

Moto Nexus 5 is coming

Well guys how do you feel about it I was hoping either HTC or moto got it this year. With that said I really do love the nexus 4 design I just hope the next nexus wows me. But I also loved the galaxy nexus too.

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

And I have to admit, when I saw the N4 on pictures, I knew I wanna have it.
But I am missing that feeling with the Moto X

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.

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.
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.

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

If OnePlus One is successful would you vote for a Nexus version?

Imagine the OnePlus Two, if the One has as good build quality as its specs, do you think the Nexus of 2015 should be produced by OnePlus? I definitely think so!

I'd personally prefer Moto/Lenovo not making one since they're pretty much there with their own devices, and apparently will be moving forward as well. Also, doesn't sound like this Oneplus device is amazing, but this is just one guy. Plus, he's referring a lot of his complaints around the software which the Nexus would replace anyway. That being said, I don't think I have seen any negative reviews about phones like the Moto X or the Nexus 5 so only time will tell how well Oneplus does.

There's plenty negative reviews on our speaker quality. That's pretty much the major flaw of this phone. Besides that the Nexus 5 is pretty solid if you didn't get a bad model. This is my first Nexus device and I enjoy it fully. Hoping the OnePlus One lives up to the hype. Oppo is known for its quality so I have really high hopes on that aspect.

Speculating about whether some new OEM should get the next Nexus doesn't have anything to do with this phone.
