Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying the nexus 7. Came across this article that compares all the current tablets. Is the source accurate? Should I buy the 16gb or 8gb one?
Source
Specs look about right, except I think the Kindle fire has 1024x600.
For it's price and size the nexus 7 is the best. If you want full sized go for the transformer infinity.

Get the 16gb version asap. This device rocks. Very fast across the board.
there are a few not on the list dropping shortly. If you have 500 dollars i suggest Huawei media -pad 10 , 200, tegra 3 acer a110 similar nexus 7 less screen resolution but does has sd card slot and hdmi port. Might research more before you decide. and the nexus will get best support and development. so cant go wrong there either.
What do people think on how the n7 compares with Motorola xoom2 8.2 media edition which can be picked up for around 200 UK pounds...and will also receive the jb upgrade?

I was hoping that the 2011 tablets that haven't sold too well like the Xoom would drop to near fire sale prices because of the N7 but I guess not.

I think the xooms have dropped considerably in price...xoom.1 can be picked up for around 200..xoom 2 a little bit more

Given that you are asking on XDA...the Nexus 7 is guaranteed to have a massive development following. Other tablets are hit and miss. For example, the A500 has way more development than the A200, event though the A200 was one of the first ICS tablets on the market. What is especially weird is that the A200 has an unlockable bootloader and the A500 does not. But by the time the A200 came out, all the devs already had an A500. Acer tablets are very close to stock google, and they are pretty good about updates, but you never know where the development will be. So the A110 may be a great tablet...but given the massive presence the N7 has in the 7" tablet development world...I have my doubts.
It's just that i have purchased the n7 and not sure whether to keep or sell and get the xoom 2 media edition 8.2 which i can buy for a little more than the n7?

You are correct sir.
I have the Acer A100 and a Xoom. The A100 is good battery sucks so unless you can get one for around 100-120 don't waste your time get the N7. I can't really say anything bad about the Xoom is has reliable and will get a JB update. Now I think the 7inch screen is too small and personally I believe 8 is the perfect size. so I might try the Xoom 8.2 once they are cheap enough.

I just like 8 inches for a tablet not too big or small. For updates and support you can beat the N7.

That is $200 plus 24 times $ the amount you contracted to pay every month for two years. Not at all the same as owning a device out right.

Get 16G
I got the 16G, would have been happier if they had an 32G option like the Galaxy Nexus phone or an SD slot but 16G is usable, I wouldn't consider 8G given that it lacks an SD slot.
The performance of the Nexus 7 is very snappy and Jelly Bean is a real improvement over ICS so if you are going to get a 7 inch tablet the N7 is definitely the way to go.
I can't find a Xoom for any cheaper than $300 still. If it was like 150 or less, it'd be bought in a heartbeat.

Do you guys think the price might go down during the holidays for Nexus 7?
I don't think the price will go down soon with so many places being sold out and play store stop taking orders for the 16gb.
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.
:crying:

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 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.
Sent from my Nexus S
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?

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.

4, I love the phone and I sold my Note II for it. I'll probably keep it for the year unless the S4 or HTC M7 really catches my eye.
As soon as I get my Experia Z, I will keep it for what it was bought to be, a development phone I can play with.
4. Think I'll keep this thing till there are actual octacores otherwise there aren't any reasons to upgrade. So 3-4 years I'll keep it.

I still go back and forth between my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 4. I use the Galaxy Nexus when I'm snowboarding and for bar nights when I know things might get a little weird.
While I do still love the Galaxy Nexus, every time I pop the SIM card back into the Nexus 4 and turn it on I am instantly reminded of how much more solid the build quality and performance are on the Nexus 4. It really is an extremely noticeable difference.
For that reason I'll definitely be holding onto this phone for at least a year. At which point I'll probably get whatever the next Nexus is and use the Nexus 4 as the backup phone.

he said "actual octacore" as in 8 cores fire all at once. Samsung's new chip is 8 cores but it operates as a quad core. Only 4 cores are ever used at any point in time.

Waiting for the 32GB model; if not the price isn't going to go up anyway.
Currently using an iPhone 4s alongside my nexus 7, OK its nice to have best of both world type devices, but I would like to use my nexus to be able to use mighty text type apps so I think its time to grab another android phone, got an option locally a guy wants to swap his galaxy note, but I'm thinking this is pretty close in size, what would you recommend?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Galaxy Nexus all the way. The Nexus 4 is too fragile and not worth the hassle in my opinion. Sure it has a quad core processor and 2Gb of RAM, but honestly.. who uses that on a phone.
I would recommend the HTC One X, but seriously... After some of the stuff HTC have been doing nowadays, I struggle to recommend HTC.
I have an original GNote and can't imagine having any thing else. There is a bigger difference in size then you would think.
And remember "When you go Note, 4 inches is a joke".

I am finding N4 compliments N7 greatly. Basically you get some great raw power on both devices, but the tegra in the N7 give way for different, but complimentary usage. Tegra exclusive games run with great power, while N4 runs non tegra with even greater power.
Maybe it was a design decision so that both devices have equal usage. XD
Well screen size is also a factor. I am not so interested in watching video on the N4. Still I find myself using both devices at once a lot. N7 definitely being the couch/bed lazy movie viewing device.

Bought my N7 for £185. Sold it a month or so ago for £130 - before the announcement of a new N7 dented the resale value some more.
That's £50 to have a Nexus 7 for about a year which is a bargain.
Might buy a new N7, might not. My HTC One is fulfilling a lot of my app needs.
If I did buy another tablet it would probably be a 10" one.
I would sell it but not many people want the old one now that the new one has been released

Don't consider that option, just do it. The Nexus tablets are better in every way imaginable. Besides, you'll have money left over and can buy a keyboard case or an additional warranty on your Nexus 7. Or go out to dinner, lol.
