Hey, coming from an iPad 3 my hands are thanking me for the break! You wanna talk about heavy, that thing is a monster.
sore from refreshing email for conf.
If you think this is heavy, don't dare pick up any other tablet. Your hand might fall off.

Feels nice and light to me.
Very comfortable in the hand and easy to hold.
I'm sure when I get mine later today, it will be nothing compared to my Asus Transformer.
Go lift some weights. The thing is less than a pound.

people will do anything to create a new thread. i see the next one coming already:
"HELP, I got a splinter on my index finger opening my box, anyone else have this problem"
On a serious note, anyone who complains about the weight of the N7 needs to hit up the gym
No, it's not heavy. Go hold a Xoom for an hour, THAT is heavy.
Feels fine for me although I do have big hands.
Makes handling my One X even easier after using it.
I asked the same question, lol I didn't get the same responses..

I have pretty strong hands being a drummer and after about a 4 hours of playing this thing I do notice that my pinky is sore from holding it up. I've been using my pinkies to cradle it and its probably a bad idea.
I was caught off guard by the heft too once I received it. Its not heavy but the thing feels solid as hell. That said, I feel I need a case now cuz a drop on my stone floors would probably ruin it. The size feels perfect tho, never having used a tablet before.

I have an iPad and a Sony Tablet S, this at 340 grams will be replacing the 598 gram Sony monstrosity and hopefully make long reading sessions much much easier.
That's my thought anyway. 340 grams is also way less than my iPad's humongous and wrist breaking 652 grams.
The Nexus 7 feels heavy for its size; more than you'd expect especially considering the lack of bezel to grab on the sides.
I use my Nexus 7 with a digitalizer table, watch the video how:
bigbuda.blog.com
While this was pretty cool to see, when you said digitizer table I was expecting it to be like a coffee table surface that you could connect to and then it displays it onto like a huge touch screen surface.
I believe the proper name for what you used though is just tablet drawing surface.
I have the same Digitizer tablet. Which note taking app is that?
Also, when I use it the mouse shows up. But when I take the pen away from the graphics tablet, the cursor on the Nexus 7 disappears and wont come back.
Interesting. Would be cool if they had a transparent digitizer that could overlay overtop the Nexus screen to use the pen with a 1 for 1 touch input.
As it is, I can see having this in a flip case with both. Although by the time you invested in a N7 and a Wacom, you could just buy the damn Galaxy Note.

When i used the nexus 7 first i was sad that the screen isn't vibrant as the competition. They got everything right but the main thing wrong. Today i realized that they didnt get the screen wrong
I has a book for college in a pdf format. I decided to read it on the my cousins ipad 3 rather than my laptop thinking it will be cool bexause of the "RETINA" display. I read for 5 minutes then stopped. If i would have have carried on i would have gone blind. Then i thought hmmm let do in in the nexus. Reading book on laptop is pointless and boy was i amazed.
The screen was amazing for the book and didnt hurt my eyes at all and from now i am a Perfectly satisfied Nexus 7 Customer.
Google... You are Awesome
I read all the time on my iPad 3 and my eyes never hurt. Not sure how better calibrated colors are causing you problems reading PDF files.
I never really saw much of a huge difference between the vibrance of displays with the n7 vs other tablets... And this is coming from someone who's gets yearly for blindness tests. Glad to hear it works for you though!

I don't have much of a comparison to the ipad other then I know this is easier to hold, but I do know I read know more now than ever before in my life because of this thing. It's just so easy and comfortable.

Did you try changing the brightness of the ipad at all? I've read plenty on my ipad and never had a problem. The nexus has a good display but it does lacks little in contrast and colors. But it's good enough for what I use it for.

I agree. My big brother & his wife has a Ipad 1 (mom & me got for wife's bday), which I sometimes use when at their house. That thing is a PAIN. I much prefer my Nexus 7, much better to use and hold in hand. Now my big b uses my Nexus EVERYTIME I'm at his house.
Poor Ipad
I have used both and have no problems with either device. Was a tough decision to buy the nexus after using my friends ipad 3. In the end it came down to portability and price. I can fit my nexus in my big coat pocket and head off to Uni. Its great

N7 screen is great ，but Ipad 2 better than N7 .
Here's what many professional analysis results found regarding the Nexus 7.
The display "hardware" is exceptional!!! There is no debate there.
But the firmware display calibration is "lousy" and thus impacts the display negatively for those that are wanting a much better color match. So if Google fixed this in a future update, then the display would move to the forefront of the 7" pack.
Here's hoping that an update results the calibration issues and pushes this display to the top of the 7" pack.
I have a KFHD7 and N7 in hand right now. Side by side, they are almost comparable. The N7 auto brightness is very aggressive and keeps the screen very dimmed. If you adjust your own brightness, the colors on the N7 will come through, however the KFHD has more contrast creating slightly more vibrant colors and deeper blacks. Something like that could be fixed with color calibration software. I'm honestly liking the N7 over the KFHD. Yes, the KFHD has better colors and definitely better sound, but I like the size and thinness of the N7. Feels much lighter and less bulky.
I've noticed that the S3 and iPhone touch response is perfect, it sticks to your finger, feels perfectly fluid
The T is always slightly slower, like the screen has to catch up after a split second. You can move your finger nearly 1mm before the screen moves.
Does anyone know why this is? Is it hardware or software?
If it's software and can be changed, I'm pretty sure it would make the phone feel more of a premium product.

didn't notice it, but XT is lacking Touch Boost comapred to SGS3.
btw. why i think i know you from somewhere online? se-nse maybe?
Well I received my nexus 4 from carphone warehouse today, the box itself is very very simple but sleek. The box is pretty loose compared to the box of the nexus 7 which was pretty tight, when. You open the box you are presented with the shiny new monster and comes with USB cable, adapter and guidebook, I noticed straight away after a deep inspection that there is a small gap between the glass and the phone itself. This worries me as it seems easy to get dirt and dust dragged into it, which I have already noticed. The phone itself is very slippery when placed on open palm due to its glass finish. But when held the rubbery sides help enough to get a grip, the rubber is very smooth but its fine to grip! The pattern on the back isn't as obvious as I thought it would be. It only truly shines when held In a Direct source of light which makes it look so..... Futuristic. The UI itself is what you would expect. Stock android. The ability to add widgets to the lock screen is very nice, so is the quick access to the camera from swiping to the side.
Overall I am pleased with the design of the nexus 4, it. Looks really thin, despite not being a super thin smartphone, this is due to the awesome curves and design.
The camera is good enough. Not amazing but certainly better than other 8mp units. As for video capture it seems to catch very good detail. And the low frame rate is not too noticeable. Photo sphere is also great. But requires ALOT of effort if you want to get a perfect sphere.
The battery life so far is very reasonable. Enough to get through the day easy with moderate to heavy useage.
The keyboard is very very easy to use. The best if anything. Swipe input is fluid and never fails increasing typing speeds up to 25% faster.
The display is crisp. Although you will struggle to say it is better than the S3 from a normal distance. Videos and photos look great and shows great detail.
Overall this phone is the best I have ever had, and I have owned phones such as the S3, one X and xperia S. Although I did find multi touch to be faster on the S3. Benchmark scores are odd. I was expecting it to roast the competition. But it failed to do so, instead it was on par with the transformer prime on antutu. If you would like a video review too. Please let me know and hit the thanks button

Just waiting for the 32GB version this year otherwise I'll just get a GS4 next year.
in your opinion,best display on nexus 4 or one x?
Colours seem to have higher contrast on the one X but looks more crisp on nexus 4

Low frame rate was fixed in the latest 4.2 OTA. Have you updated yet? It should be a solid 30 fps now compared to 22 fps and randomly dropped frames before the final 4.2 update.
Yeah its a great display! And I did update. I still had a few dropped frames but it was very smooth. I said low frame rate as I guessed from reviews its been hammered into my head that it has low frame rate lol. Will look in more detail tomorrow at it

I would assume since he can add widgets to the lock screen, probably.

True, good point!
Hows the focus/shutter speed on the camera? Does it point & shoot well?
Focusing isn't a issue. The shutter is fast enough. Although not instant. You need to focus first otherwise you risk a blurry shot.

What do you mean by multi touch being slower than on the S3? Gestures like pinch to zoom?
Also how do you find the size and the aspect ratio of the display after using an S3?
+1 for the video review too .
Yeah pinch to zoom it seems to require more effort. And the device feels so much easier to hold! The aspect ratio is not as good. But that's just been a tad picky.

I think he means that touch sensitivity isnt as high in general. I'm coming from an s3 and have a n4 and I agree. Its very responsive when typing etc though!
