Nexus 10 rumors have begun, are you going to buy the 7 now or wait for a "10"?
This article mentions Google may have a 10 inch tablet in the works.
So what will you do now? Will you order that 7, or hold out for a "10"?
I usually wait 30-90 days after a device is released to buy anyway. So I'm waiting for the moment to see if maybe I'll like the 10 if it comes.
Update: 10/9//2012: Looks like Google will partner with Samsung on a high-end 10" Nexus tablet, with pixel depth higher than the 3rd generation iPad.
Personally, I already got myself a Transformer Infinity (TF700T), really like it.
Update 10/12/2012: Coming first half of 2013.
Update 10/25/2012: Nexus 10 manual appears.
Nexus 10 official announcement likely to come October 29.
Update 10/26/2012: This is Google’s Nexus 10 by Samsung With Android 4.2
Update 11/2/2012: For the few who live under a rock and didn't know: http://google.com/nexus/10/
I'm still getting the 7" version. This is my first Android device and I'm not yet willing to shell out as much as for ipads. The 10" tablet probably costs as much as an ipad 2. Plus, ipads are already too heavy and clunky for me.

Damn, sir. You sure got some patience.
My life for Aiur
10 is too big and inconvenient for portability. 7 is perfect :thumbup:
Long live the One X
I wanted this since I wanted a 7 inch. So i won't really care if a 10 inch comes out. It's the 7inch form factor that attracted me.
I'm thinking they want to go after "The new iPad", which should have been named the "iPad 3". It has multiple versions at multiple prices.
From the iPad price page for reference.
Wi-Fi
• $499.00 16GB
• $599.00 32GB
• $699.00 64GB
Wi-Fi + Cellular
• $629.00 16GB
• $729.00 32GB
• $829.00 64GB

If Google makes a Nexus 10 with price points and versions like that. I'll probably just get a 16GB Wi-Fi only. I'm hoping a Nexus 10 has a lot of other nice added features as well. If they make a Nexus 10 that is simply the same inside as the Nexus 7, I'd just get a Nexus 7 and be done with it.
I guess I'll own both eventually then.
Both sizes suit me for different purposes.

I prefer 10 inch over 7 inch.
10 inch tablet with Wi-Fi ,16GB storage and rear camera for 350$-400$, will be a great deal.
still don't understand the want for a rear camera...especially on a 10" tab

Real estate agents LOVE that kind of thing. And plenty of other people in various professions where they need a handy quality camera and already use a tablet device.

It is great for Augmented Reality applications development.
I found the ipad too big to be properly portable, so I'll be sticking with the 7.
I prefer 7" for all kind of usage even out door......for a 10" i prefer to use my macbook 13".
Wonder if the glass from Nexus 7 is 10in including the bezel, that would make more sense.

7 inch is perfect for me, had a transformer and never used it cause taking it anywhere was a pain.

A much as I want the 10 inch rumour to be true. I don't think Google will do it as they would really screw their partners over in a big way.
The 7 inch market other than the Tab2 is no-name Chinese tablets who Google don't care about. Samsung has more on-board capabilities in their 7in Tablets hence no MHL or micro-sd slot in the Nexus as not to piss off Samsung.
However the 10 inch market is more mainstream if they come in at cost again, are ASUS going to sell as many Transformers for 50% to 100% more or Samsung sell as many TABs. No way, so thats why I think the Nexus 10 is a pipe dream or it will be as crippled as the 7 (still ordered though)
I have an iPad 2 (which will be my last Apple device at least until the lawsuits stop) so I have a ten inch tablet already. I really preferred reading on my Nook Tablet, which I made the mistake of selling for a Galaxy Tab 8.9 (decent tablet but too long/wide). I think that for me 7" really is the sweet spot for reading, and everything else is just a bonus. I am hoping that it satisfies by tablet needs so I can ebay my iPad and start saving for the next Nexus phone.
I made an impulse purchase of the 7" the day it was available.
Would probably regret it if a 10" came out in the near future. Until then though ...
I've been wanting a good, fast 7 inch tab for a while. Nexus branding gives me pure google experience and the weight and size is perfect for reading books on the go (I have a very big ebook library, most of which are advanced math and physics books). I've never been interested in 10 inch tabs.

I completely agree. I think this 7" will suit my needs perfectly. I have no desire for another 10" tablet right now.
I ask this because I need a tablet for my 1 month summer vacation soon, and I'm not sure if I can buy a Nexus 7 at that point yet.
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 actually costs the same, or even cheaper than Nexus 7 right now. Tab 7.7 will also be only slightly more expensive, because the Nexus 7 will be sold at a higher price in my country after tax and so on.
So, disregarding the price, would 7.0 or 7.7 be a good choice too?
7.0 is very affordable, but i think the resolution isn't as good as the Nexus or 7.7?
7.7- I love the hardware, it's slim, AMOLED screen, and the battery life is great. I've heard about lagging though. However, I will probably root and use a stock android rom.. or use a launcher that replaces samsung's crap.
Both the samsung tablets also have sd card support. They do lack the development scene of the Nexus though.. but I am not someone who messes around with the custom rom a lot. I just need one simple clean one, then I'm good.
Would you choose the samsung tabs if they all cost the same price? why or why not?
Bought this tablet and gave my GTab 2 7" to my girlfriend and couldn't be happier. This thing is miles ahead of it.
This is the best 7in. Out there period. In terms of power and quality. Nothing even remotely comes close to touching the power this device has. Or at least below the 10 in. Range. Get one asap! Lol. So happy to have one.
Samsung tab in 7in. Range sucks, spec wise. Not worth the extra cost to pay for a lower spec device. Samsung smiled screen good but nexus 7 has an excellent display also. Actually aside from infinity pad, nexus 7 has the highest dpi of any android tablet out. So the resolution looks even better and sharper. If we go by the way apple rates their screens, nexus 7 has a retina display. Nexus 7 has like 216 dpi. New ipad3 has 250 or something close to that. So the screen quality on nexus 7 is top notch for a tablet, especially an android one.
Isn't this the only 7 inch running quad core at the moment?
I had the GTab 7.7, it was the best sub-10" tablet, before the Nexus 7 came out (or if you must have 3G).
However, JB on it sucked due to wifi problem. Samsung is not exactly know if fast when it comes to OS updates.
Don't even have mine yet but I've been shafted by enough devices that I don't think I'll ever buy anything except official Nexus devices from here on out.
It's so smooth and fast' nothing lags' even web browsing is a great experience. My wife is extremely jealous...

Yes, its the only quad core (really 5) tegra3 7in. Tablet out now. Plus its the only one that can play all tegra3 optimized apps n games. Plus its the only 7in. To have really fast ddr3 ram. Then aside from infinity pad, it has the highest dpi of any android tablet. Really making it have the best display for this size factor. Then its the only android tablet period running official jellybean firmware.
BUTTERY SMOOTH...very fast! Plain n simple it works great. I will likely buy my woman one also.
Nexus 7 hands down.
I actually looked at the Galaxy 2 7" last night to see how it compares. The hardware across the board is grossly inferior. From the CPU, to the GPU to the resolution, to the DPI, etc.
The Samsung does have some added features (ie: gorilla glass, sd card, etc.), but it hurts where it counts.
If you disregard the price the new Toshiba 7.7 (AMOLED screen) is better as general hardware and construction, no question here.I think right now is th best 7" tablet you can buy. But it cost more than double which I can not justify (it is better but it's not "twice" as good).
My relative have one of these and, having set it up for her, it feels very nice in the hand and the few apps I loaded seemed really quick. Reviewers tend to be in agreement that this is, not just the best budget tablet, but the best Android tablet - period.
there is ZERO reason to buy any other ~7" android tablet, whether taking into account pricing or not.
I sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to buy the Nexus 7 and I absolutely do NOT regret doing it. I love it. Best selling decision I ever made.
And the original Tab line is BETTER than the Tab 2 line (look it up, they cut a lot of stuff to make it cheaper and the performance of the Tab 10.1 actually BESTED the Tab 2 line)
So bottom line, I can't see why anyone who choose the Tab 2 7 or 7.7 over the Nexus.
I have the nex7 and the gtab 7.7, disregarding price the gtab is better.

Well he doesn't really have to. The 7.7 is a beast. Don't even think about how other Gakaxy Tabs stack up with the Nexus 7. That is like comparing the Galaxy Ace to the Galaxy Nexus, of course the Nexus wins that. The tab 7.7 however, is a different story. It is pretty much the Galaxy S3 of tablets.
The thing maybe a year old but it is still a beast.
-Super Amoled plus display at 197 ppi, not that much lower than the 215 ppi of the Nexus 7. Exact same resolution actually but a bigger screen on the 7.7
- lightest tablet ever
- one of the thinnest tablets ever, a lot thiner than the Nexus 7
- perfect size and form factor. Aluminum build but still feather light
- Best battery life out of any tablet including the iPad 2
- Exynos processor (dated now but insane a year ago)
Pretty much can go down the list. It is a premium device.
Now the Nexus 7 has some pretty big advantages, especially price, CPU, GPU, and Jelly Bean, it is still hard to decide somewhat.
You are comparing an older high end car to a newer consumer car. Not as clear cut as some people make it out to be. If I were to ballpark it, the tab 7.7 would be a 2010 Acura TSX and the Nexus 7 would be a 2012 Civic SI. I would probably go with the Civic myself but some might go for the TSX.
My first experience with a 7-inch tablet was an Acer A-100. I was never really satisfied with it and ended up selling it. I don't know what made me decide to pick up the N7, but I'm very happy with it. For $250, the building quality it outstanding and it's very fast.

For someone who was against getting a 7 inch because I thought it was going to be useless since I had a 10 inch.. I would have never thought how much I hate having my transformer this whole time. Thing is amazing. Just too bad my device is defective.

Don't have any larger tablet to compare but honestly my screen is only on par with the nook tablet. Pretty sad... mine is defective. This thing is supposed to have good saturation, viewing angles and black levels. Mine has good viewing angles but there's a little light bleed and other than pitch blacks, the gray scale is awful. To top it off mine stutters and has an unresponsive screen. Hope my RMA tag comes in soon. Ascetically its the best hands down.

I actually have both, and though I love the Nexus, the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 has a special place - I love it. It proved to me that specs didn't matter that much when it comes to every day use (had many tablets, including the biggest disappointment of all time - the Transformer Prime).
It was embarrassing that my Tab 2 was more enjoyable to use than the Prime, but it was, that is simply a fact. Browsing is what I do most on a tablet, and the Prime was laggy as hell. Though I love Chrome as a browser (the only one I use on PC), Chrome on the Nexus is simply not good. Still behind the stock browser (IMHO), so overall, I find browsing more enjoyable on my Tab 2 7.0.
I can't wait for the Tab 2 to get JB (if it does).
If you had to pick one though,go with the Nexus 7. For the Price, unbeatable.
ok this thread is not to bash i-anything. this is not a rant but a wonder. please do not post any apple-offence here this is strictly equal-sided debate.
now ive been wondering this since i got my nexus and began the usual web-crawl for info on my new device. and what i find the most one sites such as youtube? well.....the thing is its REALLY getting my on extremities is......
why are there so many people comparing the nexus 7 to the i-pad 3?
like i really dont get it,.. i mean how can anyone justify comparing a 7 inch tab to a 10 inch tab? like lets be honest you wont see any of these same people comparing the nexus 10 vs the ipad mini would you?
like ipad mini vs nexus 7 i would see the point as they are in the same class....but this is like we put forward.....our medium rate device in the fight....apple bangs straight in with theyre best ever......and we still give them a slapping so how can this be a comparability of performance?
it just really grind my gears how these "vs" matches are just stupid as any techy would think the same way no?
peace:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
You could look at it another way: People are comparing the Nexus 7 to the iPad 3 because it punches above it's weight
Either way, my boss is unwrapping his new iPad mini opposite me right now, so I'll compare it with my bought-2-days-ago Nexus 7.

As Mickey says, if you compare the ipad mini against the Nexus, the Nexus will win. There appears to be a media bias towards Apple in many quarters, so if they compare it against the iPad 3, they can maybe make the Nexus lose.
Look at it as a compliment.... a bit like if someone compared me to Brad Pitt.... though obviously I'd win easy.... much like the Nexus

err......what?
I see all the comparisons between the Nexus 7 and the i-pad3 as being there was no mini out at the time, and if you are going to compare might as well go at the king of pad. I for one did fine some of those comparisons very good but only as far as durability went. If you think about it you can not even compare the 7 to the mini as they are not on the same os, for a true comparison you would need same os for speed and other things.
I for one was going to give a I-device a try, I admit that I am a big I-hater and mostly fueled by the price, I had heard that the mini they were going to change that..... Then I saw the msrp and went out and bought the nexus.

It depends, on what you want, really...
You could even argue that N7 doesn't have a better screen, as resolution isn't the only thing that matters.
Google have updated their mobile N5 page today.

Seems like they're going to continue selling it alongside the new N6 and N9 maybe...
Dig the new wallpaper BTW.

Yeah, a little surprised.
But the page has been updated to tout Lollipop.
Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 gone, but Nexus 5 still there.
I think they will release a phone in that size range be it Nexus 6 mini or Nexus 5 2014/15 or perhaps a new name.
Which is why they continue to support Nexus 5. Kind of like what Samsung does with the 's' and 'note' series.
Is the Nexus 7 still being sold?
---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------
Nexus 7 is officially EOL so my guess is N5 is here to stay for a while
Nexus 5 looks sexy on that page. Can't wait for mine to look similar
I think they will keep selling the Nexus 5 for quite some time. Signs are all there. The updated page. The updated screenshots with Lollipop, etc.
The Nexus 6 is nice, but it is WAY too big and WAY too expensive for a lot of the people that bought the Nexus 5.
To me, the real interesting question to consider is what will they do next year?
Will it be Motorola again? And will it be yet another 6" size phone? What will happen to 5"? Will the current LG Nexus 5 be the last of its kind?
Will there be a 2015 Nexus 6 by Motorola (since they usually get two opportunities) and another OEM making a 2015 Nexus 5 (please someone say Sony)?
I hate to jump the gun, but it's something interesting to ponder.
Let oppo make a nexus phone it'll be the best.

In my understandings, Google will keep selling nexus 5 as a smaller variant, because lets face it, a lot of people dont want phablet and they know it. Also price is little high (now its top end hardware there, no cut offs like on nexus 5 so thats normal). But how long they will keep selling n5, i dont know, but i would dare to say until next october.

What do you mean usually? Six phones (counting the upcoming) and five tablets (counting the upcoming and the Transformer Prime) is hardly a relevant sample size.
I still think an Apple made (but spec'd internals like an Android flagship) 5in screen Nexus would be amasing.
On the N5 page it says: "5 Made for what matters". This is exactly perfect. The N5's specs are still good and will continue to be "enough" for a while. A phone that just "works".
With this move, Google effectively covered 2 market segments.

Yeah. I don't feel like I need to upgrade to Nexus 6 and I'm happy with that.
But, I still think they shouldn't make 6" Nexus. Instead, they should make an upgrade version of Nexus 7...
Would make perfect sense to keep the nexus 5 available because the snapdragon 800 is easy good enough I wouldn't upgrade to a phone with say a snapdragon 801 my nexus 5 flies compared to my wife's g3 and that's no slouch also I heard the snapdragon 805 is just another incremental upgrade from the 801.

To me Google made the best possible move this year, also with minimal effort. They already had the iPhone6 counterpart on the market with the Nexus 5, at pretty much half the price or less, so now they also have the 6+ counterpart, also for a much lesser price (still not cheap, but way cheaper). They effectively covered all size ranges right now, with both smartphones and tablets. Sure the N7 may have needed a small bump in specs, but for what it is, a cheap entry level mini tablet, it's more than enough for the kind of consumer looking for something in that range.
aye, I'm buying a 32g black updated one, just as a back up..
I'm not going anywhere from the nexus 5..
I got my phone last month and I'm perfectly happy with it and don't really want the nexus 6. So yeah, they should keep selling the nexus 5 along with the 6 and maybe refresh it next year as a nexus 5 2015 model.

Yes. The Nexus 4 was my first Android phone. I bought one sight unseen and loved it. I ordered a 5 the day it went on sale. For the first time in two years I'm not sure I'll buy the new model. Even ignoring the higher price, I don't know if I want a phone that big. Fortunately the Nexus 5 remains a powerful phone and I can see it carrying me through another year to see if Google rolls out something a bit smaller for 2015.
I'm so happy hearing such good news,because when other manufacturers discontinue support for their products after 18 months Google decided to keep supporting Nexus 5,even beside that it's almost 1 year old now.
That's why now I'm feeling even happier owning such a wonderful device.And really proud of Google's decision.
WELL DONE GOOGLE!
Maybe next year there will be a 5.2" 64bit version of the Nexus 5. After seeing the price of the N6, I decided to buy the N5. (again)
I wish Google wasn't being so quiet regarding their inventory. Was going to get a 16gig model for my wife and was hoping for a price drop. While the price drop seems unlikely now I would at least like to know when more will be coming in.
Anybody notice the Yellow Nexus 5 in the background of the pictures for the Nexus 9 keyboard case??
So what do y'all think? I love my Nexus 6 for its shear size, I personally would LOVE to see another huge Nexus like this one! Thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I really don't think it would ever happen again. I like the size of my Nexus 6 but, I really think that 5.7 in would better suit me for my next phone. Basically, I'm not on the whale phone bandwagon but, I'm not in the 5 in phone camp either.
My greatest desire from the next Nexus is something around 5 inches that I can easily use with one hand and doesn't swing around like giant brick in my pocket that hits me in the nuts every time I take a step. My last 3 phones have all been huge (5.7 inches or larger), so I'm ready for a change.
If they make two Nexuses (or is it Nexii?) again this year, hopefully they'll be of equal specs instead of a huge premium device and a small budget/midrange device.
Yeah agree, even the OP3 felt and looked small in comparison to the 6 inch Nexus i had. Do miss the bigger screen sometimes though when watching youtube, video`s and pics
For me a 5.2 inch screen would be perfect. I had the LG G2 before my nexus 6 and that was for me the perfect size.

I can understand that. But 6" size compared to 5,7" is not much. For me it's the back of the N6. It's round and should be flat. Just for easier fitting in car kit and belt cases.
Secondly an option to choose dark themes for system and G-apps.
The round back I can agree with, if you've never wanted your Nexus 6 to slide off of a flat table, guess what? Too bad! Lol @Face_Plant it's racking you? Jesus! Never had that issue brother LOL I'm a sucker for a huge display, the size of this phone was a HUGE factor in purchasing it, icing on the cake that it was a Nexus, stock Android and a HUGE dev scene!

I like my Nexus 6, but its to wide for me. Something like Nexus 6p, Xperia Z3 perfect for my hand and its easy to use with one hand. Before buying I know that phone is really big, but I bought it because its Nexus and I never buy again other brand than Nexus.
Arguments about the screen size would be different, when the Nexus phones would be exactly the same (inside) and the only difference would be the screen size.

It's true, I mean, the 6p is more powerful than the 6, but that small bit of screen to me is wonderful. I like how wide the 6 is! The 6p is strangely long to me.
me, being 5'7", with average sized hands, would absolutely LOVE for the next nexus to be 6".. but i have a feeling that it wont happen
I had 2 Nexus 6Ps and on both the bezel bent at the volume rocker. Sold them both instantly and bought (another) White 64gb Nexus 6 sealed in the box for 350. Best phone I've ever had. Still waiting for something worth upgrading to, because obviously the 6P was a FAIL
I love the size of my 6" Nexus 6, but I think it will be easier to use a 5.7" in VR headsets, at least the ones that are available now.

The use of 5,7" would be OK as long apps including G-apps does not use the higher resolution.
Or do I see it wrong?

I was thinking more of the physical size being able to fit into VR headsets. Even with my case off, my Nexus 6 barely fits and even then it's hard to keep the power and volume buttons from getting hit.
Another reason to accept the newer/smaller size on a new Nexus is for the upcoming Daydream, Tango, and Valve.
