Asus Google Nexus 7 - User Reviews

  • Get an OTG cable and connect a normal PC keyboard.

  • nexus root tool kit Unblock and use it again but for better peformance root and do custom update to 8.1 (a very complicated process)

  • You can´t

  • still got a nexus 7 but not using it, its already 7 years since i bought it, any suggestions for me to love and use it again?

  • How do you up grade to 6.0?

  • How do I find the upgrade to get rid of the 5.1 lag. Please and thank you!

  • I don't believe they ever officially released a Marshmallow update for the 2012 Nexus 7 (seperate from the 2013 version, which did receive an official Marshmallow update), although this doesn't stop you from unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom Marshmallow ROM.

  • Point is, they released Marshmallow for it officially. 5.1.1 was just the original planed max.

  • Bad tegra 3 gpu,low colors screen,great sensors,1gb ram good,good cpu 1,3ghz quad core...

  • That 1.3 MP camera. Ouch!

  • this device only can go up to 5.1.1 on stock....... I don't what you are trying to point saying it's on Marshmallow....

  • Peculiar that you can, somehow, lose the keyboard and consequently get shut out of your Nexus! Any suggestions?

  • could allow go of somebody I cherished, to take on wild adventures I’d certainly not get to get in serious lifetime, to get nightly vacations in the course facebook

  • 5 years and this device is still working like a champ. Baterry life is still decent. I have not even rooted or anything, it is running on MM 6.0. Only complains are: Touch input fails sometimes The microusb port doesn't work as intended. I can't charge the device when is on or connect it to a PC. From what I've read it is an issue in the port that needs to be replaced. Overall I think this is one of the most durable hardware ever.

  • in my experince it cannot connect to an N network such as 5GhZ wifi only 2,4GhZ

  • It's a really fast and HD tablet. It's my 3rd android tablet and the quickest and best. Would totally recommend it. I replaced my IPad with this and no regrets.

  • Would you suggest me to upgrade it to Nougat

  • I'm testing it using BaseMark X, will share results. I tested on Medium (i don't think that matters), score was 4700 on BaseMark X I closed all programs and disconnected the internet before starting the test

  • hey budd, could you like tell me all the possible links that i will need to upgrade this, believe me im completely aloof to these things. i would really appreciate it thanks

  • There is a thread on XDA developers for running upgrading this tablet to Android N 7.1.2. This unofficial upgrade eliminated the lag from 5.x and made my Nexus a happy, useful tablet again 😀

  • Will it supports netsetter

  • Yes, the batteries are available on-line. If you shop, you can find a very reasonable price. Google: "Nexus 7 replacement battery suppliers". Since you apparently haven't done this before, I suggest you buy one of the "replacement kits" with the tools included. You will find especially helpful the plastic "prying tools" which enable you to separate the front and rear case halves without breaking the rear one. Consult YouTube vids for step-by-step how-to instructions. Most are very good. ONE CAVEAT: The original Nexus 7 battery comes with a temperature sensor built into the battery. This is useful to the battery charging circuitry in determining the fastest rate to charge the battery without damaging it. Many low-cost (Chinese) after-market suppliers supply replacement batteries without a battery temperature sensor, and the circuitry from the battery indicating a hard-wired constant temperature. Try to select a battery/manufacturer/supplier which supplies a real Nexus 7 battery containing active an active temperature sensor. On the other hand, if you find yourself with a replacement battery which tells you the battery is always the same temperature, it's not the end of the world. The battery may charge slightly (SLIGHTLY) slower, or the replacement battery's lifetime may not be quite as long. Either way, you have a tablet that will work again for at least a couple of years.

  • I agree with you. My death nexus 7 came back to live last night after months of upgrading. Don't through it away. It's reuseable

  • Why won't the battery charge?!?! It was working well for a year. Read in comments below the battery is removable. Is the battery available other than online?

  • Indeed. Please try SlimKat with Nano GApps package. I found no heating issue.

  • On this weekend I played around with my death Nexus 7. Last time it's lag pretty bad with lollipop and charging doesn't went well. Now it's brought back to life. I re-soldered the 2 of micro USB pins to GPIO (POGO connector on the side) and connect using small cables. Basically it's will charge to the POGO pin via micro USB connector. And wow, it's charge pretty much speedy. Let's say around 2 hours from 0%-90% (thanks to XDA Forum for the tips, DIWYOR). For the OS, I downgraded from Lollipop to SlimKat; the sluggish thing is now gone. It's still incomparable with latest devices, but it's works pretty well.

  • Because it's a nexus device. it IS a google device, just ASUS builds it.

  • Make it less laggy by downloading and using arrow launcher instead of the default launcher

  • Why using the google name and confusing the consumer.

  • DONOT UPGRADE OS TO LOLIPOP LAGS AND FREEZES.Currently using pacman rom(4.4.4). One thing concerns me though device is hot while using cpu temp is around (idle)46c-75c(load) is this normal.

  • NRT Nexus Root toolkit can downgrade to 4.2 android etc .... if you still need to do it

  • Can i put whatsapp on google nexus7

  • how did u downgrade the operating system back to kit kat. like you mentioned the tablet is lagging horribly after "upgrading:(" to 5.1.1" thanks for you're input

  • One of my half-a-dozen short-lived Android devices. The Nexus upgrade to 5.x was a total disaster and rolling back to 4.x was a nightmare. Well, this deviced DID get one proper upgrade before going useless. Samsung Tab 4 never got one single upgrade and probably never will. HTC and Sony only got one and are still in 2.x. Never again ANY Androids. Period.

  • downgraded to kitkat and it works fast and fine. dont need to upgrade the os. the point was to buy a nexus to ensure OS upgrade compatibility but i was told the HW could not carry over to the next OS ergo they made the 2013 version or 2nd gen nexus 7 with beefier specs.

  • Ever since I upgraded to Marshmallow, this tab has been giving me headaches. A very annoying lag when selecting an app, battery life greatly reduced, charging time greatly increased. Finally I reverted to back Kit Kat, and the tab is behaving beautifully again. However, now I had this annoying reminder that there was an update, that I didn't want, and I couldn't find out how to make it go away. So, I installed Slimkat 4.44 Rom, and so now my Nexus 7 2012 and I are happy for the immediate future again.

  • You paid that amount for the first generation Nexus, sorry but you were ripped off.

  • Exact the same situation with mine...

  • jump start battery works every time vids on youtube

  • Four years old, away from home use for about 4 months per year. Frequent poor performance. Recently unable to switch on when fully charged and now seems will not charge or switch on. Tried lots of on line advice to no good effect. In my opinion a waste of £189. So much for all the marvellous things said when it was launched.

  • Is battery is in fact, removable. you can buy a new one on Amazon for about $10

  • If the battery is too low so that when I connect cheger is not charging what can I do since it has non removable battery

  • You can try on aliexxpres.com, but be carefure to order the same numbers that are on flat cable.

  • where can i buy a touchscreen for a Nexus 7 in Durban, Kzn< S. Africa

  • Hello Petkovic, screen can be found on aliexpress, just be sure what is the correct name of the model, because the placement of the screws. Separation of touchscreen from LCD and frame is very hard, so I advise you to look for replacement for whole front (LCD+digitizer+front frame).

  • I want to know how to get a new screen for it

  • just i want to know how to replace screen on tablet

  • Recently my Nexus 7 got silly..it play Videos at all . Tried everything in Vain..any help?

  • I purchased it recently ( though a second hand ) It works fine.. One suggestion.. if its got Jelly Bean android verson.. try not upgrade to kitkat or lolipop.. it will slow down... Keep it the way its... I find it cool..

  • My one Is Catching wifi So Slow

  • I still have my Grouper. Combination of "pure Nexus 6.0.1 ROM" + "f2fs file system" + "Greenify app" + "SkyNet mod" and using light apps instead of heavy ones (like facebook mobile site on opera mini instead of that crappy facebook app) makes Grouper usable again.

  • can anyone tell me the dimensions of the battery?

  • I bought a nexus 7 about 3 years ago, but last year it seemed to pack up. In the last couple of days my son seemed to get it going, so I thought a good idea would be to revert to factory settings and start anew. Now it is unable to recognise my wifi, so will not do anything. any ideas out there.

  • I bought the 2012 Nexus 7 in 2014, so far had zip problems with it. Upgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1 when it came out and it lagged and froze like crazy. Eventually after reading many blogs and days of pondering, i eventually huffed and puffed and did a factory reset. Works just as good as new. That said, I am thinking of the 2013 version now, any recommendations?

  • Just like any android device........if you hold power button and direction down, it will take a screen shot.

  • Batteries are available. Ease theback off reolace battery, stick it down, close up case.

  • Itz upgradable to android version 6.0.1

  • The Micro-USB port is flimsy. The port on my Nexus 7 broke after the metal got bent over time (2 years). Software-wise, while it can install newer versions of Android, I wouldn't really recommend it. It runs faster with Jellybean than with newer versions.

  • It is possible to update this tablet to Android 6.0.1

  • I appreciate your "enthusiasm", Raju......but, since there were about 700,000 Android apps on record way back in 2012.....I kinda doubt you have loaded almost ALL of them! :-) Keep up the good work though!!

  • I appreciate your "enthusiasm", Raju......but, since there are about 53 MILLION Android apps.....I kinda doubt you have loaded almost ALL of them! :-)

  • Why do you call it a "phone"? It's a tablet.....not a phone. See specs: "No cell connectivity".

  • no screen shots facilities in this phone other features and touch great

  • wonderful device.I bought in 2012 December and is running even now. I use it for four hours a day. Battery lasts for two days. Very reliable. I have loaded almost all apps. I do not use this for photos Highly recommended

  • It is easy fix, you can try to factory reset. 1. Turn off the Nexus 2. Press and hold Volume Down and then press and hold Power until the tablet turns on. You should see the word “start” 3. Press Volume Down twice to highlight Recovery Mode. Press Power to confirm your selection 4. Hold down the Power button and press and release the Volume Up button once 5. Press Volume Down twice to highlight Wipe Data / Factory Reset and press Power to confirm 6. Press Volume Down seven times to highlight Yes - Erase All User Data. Once again, press Power to confirm 7. After the reset is finished, reboot your device. or you can reflash the firmware to fix it, you can check youtube for more in deep guides.

  • i made the unfortunate mistake of purchasing this device for $700 when the device first came out. the device went into a google bootloop five days after i purchased it and google , nexus and asus handballed all my enquires/warrenty related questions between each other. over 200 emails and one year later they finally replied with your device is now out of warrenty , we will look at the device for $300. that was just to look at it to fix any faults would incur further charges. i asked for an estimate and was told that i could expect to be charged between $500 and $600. i had my receipt and box and the device was in perfect condition still with the plastic on the screen and that is how they treated a paying customer. jump on safari and look up google nexus 7 bootloop complaints or anything of that nature and you will see hundreds of thousands of customers who experience exactly the same treatment i received. anyone that purchases a google nexus or asus device after reading this or doing some research then i feel sorry for you . google asus nexus you are discraceful!!!!!!!

  • Yeah, just don't try to multi-task if you DO upgrade to 5.1 or it'll choke to death switching between tasks!

  • long hold the file

  • which it is a circle with a diagonal bar?

  • How do I delete old downloads I do not have operators manual

  • Go to the tablet security settings and enable installation of apps from unknown sources then go to your chrome browser and do the following: 1. Go to whatsapp.com 2. Tap the chrome menu and select "request desktop site". This will show you the desktop version of the WhatsApp website 3. Go to download WhatsApp, select Android then download. It will download the WhatsApp app to your tablet as an apk file. 4. Tap the apk and install it once it is done downloading Now you have WhatsApp installed. Next is getting it to work: 1. After opening WhatsApp, It will ask you for your phone number. Put in the number and make sure the number is on so that you get the sms 2. Since there is automatic verification, you will have to wait for the app to give up waiting for the message to come through the tablet. There should be a timer. When it has given up, it will ask whether you'd like call verification and it opens up the field for you to input the code manually. Since you got the code via sms on your phone, just put it in and viola! You have WhatsApp up and running!

  • in play store it would say your device isn't compatible with this version . but you have to go to chrome and download whatsapp in any website . it will work . :)

  • Same experience here. LP 5.1.1. messed up my N7 2012, but with KK 4.4.4 it is OK again. This worked for me...

  • Running 5.1.1 and it's velvety smooth and responsive

  • Hello using nexus 7 with android 5 is bad,downgrade to 4.4.4 and now is fast like new.

  • Yep, do a factory reset, or install a custom ROM. Google screwed over this device with all latest versions of android. Or look to get the new X1 device they release next week.

  • 5. Android is bad on 2012 nexus 7. Drop back to kit kat 4.4.4 runs like it did when it was new.

  • Hi, everybody, I have nexus 7 with 32 gb but after re-installing of the software it has now 6 gb! How can I use its full capacity? ? Please, help! Thanks, Stefan

  • How did you reinstall kit kat?

  • I've noticed both in my HTC One and my Asus Nexus 7 (Android 5.1.1), that the devices become very slow when the internal memory left is scarce, in my case around 2 to 3 GBytes. For my phone I just deleted a few gigs of old photos to have 5 GBytes available and now it's as fast as before. For my tablet Nexus 7, which I use mostly for reading, I did a full reset and it is now also running as a champ.

  • Flash CM 12 it workes 10 times better

  • Just reverted back to kitkat 4.4.4, rooted, instlled xposed instller, softmoded... just like new with a bit of flavor :)

  • After upgrading to lollipop, experience slow browsing. so I have no choice but to downgrade to kitkat. it becomes responsive again.

  • Just downgrade to Kitkat. The tablet will become responsive again.

  • After the Lollipop update, this tablet is just toooo slow. I have to delete the cache partial all the time:(. I need an update to M fast with fixed improvements.. I am nearly close to running this tablet over with my car........ I use to love it, until the update came out now I try not to use it much because I'm stuck on the page loading all day. Whatever you do DON'T UPDATE TO LOLLIPOP or you will REGRET IT! Mark my words.

  • great tab before upgradingafter upgrade get very slow

  • The battery gives problem, once fully discharged it does not charge.

  • This tables is great!!! , if you upgrade to Lollipop you may to downgrade to Android 4.4. Visit foros to do it, its very easy using official ROM dowloding for google web.

  • I got one of these for christmas, was fantastic til the software upgrade. Now the tablet is totally non fuctional. Definitely buying an iPad next time.

  • I loved this tablet when I bought it. The upgrade was a disaster and the tablet is marginally functional now. Yes, I've done the factory reset and jumped through the hoops. It's still lousy. My next table will probably be Windows based.

  • It's always messing up chrome not responding or UI system not responding it gets me all stressed out, I would not have another if they were giving them away.

  • Best tablet to nwork for more than more years with newest updates 5.1.1 And people who talks that is slow after upgrade all I have done is factory reset after upgrade and don't install Facebook app it messes everything up I have seen a big improvement after uninstalling FB at performance also omn battery.

  • JBL Charge 2 is the solution :-)

  • If Google sort out lollypop 5.1 , They will prove better than Apple , so Google sort it out I throw down the gauntlet, prove people wrong . Fix these problems on these devices . Or do an Apple and wash your hands and lose the sales, your choice . Use common sense

  • To solve problems after update just ( perform Factry Reset.)

  • Just flashed 5.1 image it's soo smooth guys omg

  • updated lolipop with my nexus7 2012 model.it looks great and smooth. .thanks google

  • yes, it slows the tablet, turned off while watching a movie even it is fully charged. i have called their customer service and my last option is to have it reversed to kitkat.

  • While the device is switched on hold the power button until the screen goes black wait one minute and switch the device back on hope this helps too

  • This tablet is great you are all stupid thinking lollipop slows it down but if anything it has enhanced my tablets stability and performance consider getting your software wiped cleaned and restored it may work better. Hope this helps

  • Hey guys and gals; i cussed and tore my nails out for days trying to get lollipop to work as anything other than a paperweight.....then the cure. This artice is very thorough and very much what the uninformed need. I was unaware of :how complex the new version is; the difference between the three methods of one getting the "upgrade" ; the reasons for the battery gripes; the reason for the security issues during the update and most of all the permutations an combinations of both the nexus settings and the google settings combined....if you're still hanging on check it out. I was about ready to put a bullet into mine! Nexus 7 wifi front cam only 1gig ram 16 gig storage and better than ever. Edburd@gmail

  • DO NOT UPGRADE TO THE NEW OS...it will kill or strongly damage your NEXUS 7 I own the Nexus 7 II and it asked me to upgrade to the new software....Lollipop first it slowed it down and after two days to keeps rebooting and turning itself off and now nothing happens. Google said the warranty is over and I am out of luck....I guess this is one way to make people throw away their good units and go buy a new one...well I think I go buy an Apple now!

  • guys don't just complain about the L update, just try to figure it out. I've flashed cm12 and overclocked it. & the nexus 7 is running flawlessly. overclocking really improves the performance

  • Maybe you shouldn't have updated. Just because an OS is new doesn't mean it's great.

  • I have finally throw my nexus in disgust after upgrading to 5.02. I couldn't get anything to load within 5 minutes and then apps would crash if they weren't running un-usably slowly. I can't stand ipads but 5.02 made my nexus unworkable and no apparent upgrade on the horizon (well no info from google anyway) I think I might have to go for ipad

  • Updated my Nexus and it responds so slowly since the update is there a way to revert back to the previous update

  • in my experience, kitkat is far better and hassle-free than 5.0.2, which has slowed down and erased the games loaded, without any apparant good at all. so, be warned

  • auto upgrade to 5.0.2 ,directly from 4.4.2, gave a very bad and complicated performance, and sucked my wi-fi usage bill ,heavily, with no good

  • The latest updates made me think of buying a new tablet. A different brand. The start screen calls for sweeping from bottom to top instead of left to right. I like Facebook, and my connection drops without warning. This did not happen before the updates. All apps load much slower, if at all. I'm growing to hate my tablet, but I know the problem is the updates and not the tablet.

  • I nave the same problem toi! Plecase help!

  • My Nexus 7 updated this week. The four coloured dots go round and round and round it is so slow loading. Then suddenly a padlock has appeared which has to be swiped why? It is so unresponsive that I swipe it over twenty times to open it. Why is this padlock here and if I don't touch the tablet for a short while the padlock reappears. Please, please do something about it.

  • I have the nexus 7 there was a system update that had to be done and now everything takes long to open. please fix .....this thing is slower than my grand-mother

  • Hope that there will be update soon. This lollipop only slows my tablet, apps dont respond..

  • how can I install 5.0.2 on my Nexus 7? Please help

  • Don't mix up 2012 Nexus7 with the latest one! There was no 5.0 and 5.1 upgrade for 2012 Nexus 7 and it directly go to 5.02 instead.2012 Nexus 7 come with one front camera only and it will be slow down after upgrading to Lollipop 5.02 because of hardware limitation!Those happy with tne new OS should have the new Nexus 7( not 2012 model).Hope this may help!

  • Lollipop 5.02 the best it boost the device significantly. Those who are complaining that 5.02 only slows or freezes their device, maybe you do not know how to use it or your device needs repair

  • in my case I installed 5.0.2 and it works well, it's so smooth

  • in my case I installed 5.0.2 and it works well, it's so smooth

  • do not upgrade to android 5.0.2 lollipop it will hang your tablet especially on facebook, google please check this new OS it hangs and very slow response when opening website :(

  • Can you tell me if you have the 2014 nexus 7?

  • Just reinstall using nexus root kit....takes ten minutes...easy peasy.

  • Can someone tell me how to downgrade from Lollipop to Kit Kat (4.4.4)? I just don't like the latest version (5.0.2). Thanks in advance.

  • i have nexus 7 but it battery is not charging any one knows?

  • same here, it's SLOW and games won't load. DO NOT UPGRADE to 5.0.2

  • Well lucky you guys. I've just upgraded my Nexus 7 tablet to 5.0.2 and I am relly dissapointed in the performance, even after a factory reset. As I searched on the internet looks like I'm not the only one, but a lot of guys complain about this update. I will downgrade to 4.4.4.

  • Got the 5.0.2 update and I am really happy it's speed got an boost and now it would be my daily driver tab earlier it was ipad air

  • Today I received lollipop 5.0.2 update . Great experience

  • Just received android lollipop in India. Very nice experience

  • U can install WhatsApp. Just download WhatsApp apk file and transfer into internal memory via PC then install it. While installing WhatsApp verify ur number via voice call.

  • I Want to buy this tablet but I read comments for some users in other site complain that this tablet does not accept applications like whatsapp , tango ,line etc. is this right ? and if so is there a solution ? thanks

  • Not yet received 5.0 update!!! Any one pls help!

  • Very simple: the only existing camera is placed in the front and not on the back of the device.

  • how video calling can be done without presence of secondary camera ?

  • Anybody got lollipop 5.0.2 OTA ?

  • Thanks a lot for helping me out. I thought only my n7 2012 hasnt received OTA update due to some problem... as 2 of my colleagues already have android 5.0 in their n7..so I was worried... they might have flashed the rom on their own, I guess, if asus hasnt released OTA... Also sir, I would like to ask you one more question..how much screen on time you get for the battery to drain from 100% to 5%? I get close to 3hours and 15 mins screen on time on gaming and surfing. Is this normal?

  • I too have the Nexus 7 2012 And also I'm running 4.4.4. I think the wisest course of action is for us to wait until Asus has the build properly attuned to our tablets rather than jump the gun, and install the factory build and find out that we just have to undo it later. Though it always is nice to know that one has the latest operating system, truth be told, we probably would have a hard time telling the difference. If Asus has not yet released lollipop over the air, is probably because there is a good reason that they are fine tuning it to make sure that we don't end up with problems someone in another comment here mentioned about how it is slow down his tablet he had to reinstall Kit Kat. There is no more important virtue nor quality of character that we can cultivate and which we must master then patience

  • yes i am from India i bought Google nexus 7 from eBay at the time it was running jelly bean and just last week i wanted to update lollipop but all i could update is until kit Kat! I feel your confusion but do not worry sometimes certain Asian countries do not receive the latest updates,just be patient and wait.

  • Unfortunately,this tablet has only front camera.

  • I am from india and my nexus 7 2012 has not still received lollipop OTA. My device is running 4.4.4 and it shows the latest software is already installed. Anyone else facing this problem in India? Please help I am quite worried :(

  • Upgraded from an ipod touch 4g. Browsing is faster,yes, but gifs load very slowly. Flash is pretty slow too but fluid once started. Must turn wifi off with bluetooth headphones (same issue on ipod) or playback is intermittent. Good battery life. Can last 4 days with minimal use. Gaming is flawless. Screen makes funny sounds when pressed but good construction nonetheless. Do not recommend lollipop, i downgraded to kitkat too. Charges reaaaly slowly. Don't think the asus charger provides more than 800ma, though it's rated at 2A. Best bargain at 130 usd! New nexus is far more fragile and scratches easily.

  • Great tablet although I had to roll back from lollipop it completely slowed and spoiled my tablet, it's not hard to re-flash back to kitkat and then it's back to being fast again.

  • I upgraded mine to lollipop, works very good. After using the device two years I made sure to factory reset.

  • I bought the Nexus 7 exactly a year ago. And it NEVER worked 100%!! TOUCHPANEL SUCKS! This is truly a LOW END product! BR LaZr

  • My Nexus 7 2012 is now an aggravating piece of junk since lollipop, even after a factory reset. Every system, process, or app has screwed up consistently. Time for a new tablet. (Or was that the plan all along?) Does it work on new tablets?

  • Has anyone else experienced microphone issues after the lollipop update? My mic isn't working anymore :(

  • Same here except I just updated all apps and deleted the guest profile. Didn't even wipe the cache ... Smooth as butter ! Finally lollipop is good as they say. Batter life seems to have improved.will update information later after a few days :)

  • Hi guys ! I updated my nexus 7 to lollipop when the ota update cane. Just as everyone else my tab got stuck and was very slow. Finally I have found the solution to get back the old smooth kit kat like experience. These are the steps I followed. 1.uninstall all the aops I don't use regularly. 2.update all the apps via Googleplay store. 3. Hold the power button for around 15 sevs where the device will automatically shut down and restart. Another thing to absolutely follow is IF you open a guest profile close it as soon as you finish using it as it slows the tab a lot. As soon as I closed my guest profile !y tab was back to usual performence. I read after backing up the data doing a factory reset also helped some users but so far the above !method has

  • Yh you can google nexus 7 factory images

  • Sorry if you update to lollipop can not go back to kitcat my friend.....Google it good luck or root and use a custom rom or don't update to lollipop!!!!

  • Had the same sluggishness problem that others reported on lollipop. After the update I did the following operations: Deleted the second user on tablet Performed a cache wipe Performed a factory reset After these the tablet works as fast as it did on kitkat. I performed the last two operations from recovery boot.

  • I am planning to update the nexus 7 2013 32gb WiFi only device to 5.0 lolipop. Did your update go smoothly please advise.

  • This lolipop is sucks .my tablet can't work properly after this update. Can anybody tell me how tow to get back kit kat or jelly bean.lolipop ruined my Asus google nexus7

  • downloaded the latest Android 5 and I�m having loads of problems. Will do the reset and clearing cache and- keeping the fingers crossed, hope that I will get my tablet up and running again

  • Xmodgames can use in this device?

  • Mxplayer now supports android 5.0. Those who are facing issues after lollipop upgrade can see noticeable improvement after factory reset the tablet and wipe cache partition. I did both the things and improvements are there.

  • Guys don't ever buy an Asus product , My nexus 7 (2012) touch got broken , I called Asus service center , after so many tries they finally picked up the phone , When I asked about how much Will it cost to change the touch and they said cost Will be around Rs 9000 . Really , for a tablet that was launched for a price of 16000 and now is of 10000 has touch costing 9000 . Are really all other parts LCD , MB , CPU , Battery and all that cost only 1000.

  • Although the Nexus7 has received all sorts of plaudits in online reviews don't expect any help from ASUS if you get a problem with one. I have so far had two (the original unit and a store replacement) that didn't work properly (the first one the screen pixilated, the second one the charger connection didn't work).This was followed two repairs done by ASUS which have failed to solve problems with the microphone. I am now waiting for my 5th replacement/repair. The real problem, though, is with the terrible service from ASUS. I have received positively the worst service I have ever had with any product in my entire life - and I'm not young. Hours on the basic service phone line, hours more to speak to a supervisor, a six-week long exchange of dozens of emails using ASUS's online "escalation" approach with someone who simply does not understand the English language. Repair turnaround times are advertised at 5 - 7 business days but actually take in excess of a month. The escalation process which promises responses within 48 hours takes 5 - 7 days to get a response and questions are never answered directly, if at all. Requests for my unit to be replaced with a new unit have been denied (not their policy). Even a request for a reconditioned replacement unit has been denied. I'd love to get my money back but that, of course, has been denied too. ASUS does not deserve to stay in business with this kind of customer aftercare.

  • is u r device is fast or ant slaginess and errors are occuring sir please tell me

  • wer u from india sir

  • Try now. Yesterday morning only i got the update. But my advice if u gonna watch movie. U have to download the nice player also. MX player wont support in Android 5.

  • I update nexus 7 in Macedonia. The dervice is very slow with android 5.0. There are problems with facebook and with some games. The start up and the shuting down are very slow.

  • Updated to 5.0 lollipop a few days ago. No Wifi problems as other users report, battery life is the same as with 4.4 but the systems goes slow as hell.

  • I officially updated my Nexus 7 2012 device two days ago in Israel. My experience with it is horrible. The device is very slow. It reboots every now and then. The system crushes and i have already sent like 50 crush reports. Different apps are not responding. My clock widget shows the minutes and then the hours (instead of 13:52 it shows 52:13). My advice to anyone owning a Nexus 7 2012 model to wait with your Android 5 update. You will regret updating it. I know that there are ways to reverse the damage by going back to Android 4.4 but i have no idea and no time to make the necessary jailbreaks or roots or whatever...

  • yesterday night updated my nexus 7 thru ota update was about 311mb and for installion it took around 30 mins ui is smooth and i think battery life has improved a bit

  • Yesterday night i.e. on 19th Nov, 2014, India time GMT+5.30, on 1.15 am, i got notification that the 5.0 system update is available. It takes 20mins for 400MB download. And then it finalize the applying update takes too much time like around 1hr. After update, the ui is awesome. MXplayer is not compatible, so need to uninstall reboot the tab and reload mxplayer again. then only it works. Chrome is alos not working. I am using Chrome Beta version. One good thing is battery. It is now 6hrs after charged fully my tab.My wifi is on for 6 hrs and i m browsing for around 2 hrs. Updating around 18 apps which is showing outdated after lollipop update. Still it is 91%. Will post more review.

  • I have Nexus 7 and where i live there is no WIFI is there an option for SIM card. Kindly advice.

  • I am using this tablet since 10 months. But the problem is even if I full charge the device i get 3.5-4 hours of screen on time. Is it normal? Is anyone else facing the same issue or should i get my tab replaced?

  • Even given free -- NO no no no

  • S but first u have to root it and install ppp widget

  • First of all a big thumps up for Asus for making this tablet. They did an awesome job. The tab is super good in performance. Afteral it is powered by an Nvedia quadcore chip set and an Tegra GPU. The display is superb they had given a gorilla glass for protection and the screen is an HD IPS display so watching movies is a great pleasure of time. Another important thing is the battery, its got powerful battery so its can last longer. The down side is that no memory expansion and also its an WiFi only device

  • Can Asus Nexus 7 WiFi support a Micromax 3G usb dongle SIM holder to achieve internet connection?

  • Can Asus Nexus 7 WiFi support a Micromax 3G usb dongle SIM holder to achieve internet connection?

  • It's been an year since I bought this tablet, and I continue to love it with all my heart. I have Cyanogenmod 11 Milestone 9 running at present, and I observe no lag, even as I am typing this with SwiftKey. I use it to read ebooks, play Nova 3 or Temple Run 2 occasionally and I must comment that it works very, very well, even without considering the age of the device or the meager price at which I bought it.

  • As i have one, i thinks it's good idea to say what i think if the tab. I got it brand new in 2012, it was one of the best for performance and features, however, as time went by problem started to arise, the first was software issues and battery issues, but google fixed them. At only half a year old, i had to send it back, this problem started as what looked like software as it would not load app icons or even apps and widgets, so i thought I would restart it to try and correct the problem, this made thing worse, as it was turning on it kept getting stuck on the google load screen before yet again restarting, the boot loader wouldn't even load, but google were very good with it's repair, had it back within 2 weeks! The problem the motherboard/mainboard has broke. But after that, no problems since, apart from the signs of age with performance.

  • Its not even a year old so its no big deal, this tab is 2 and a half years old but still gets updates and owns even the Galaxy Tab 4 when it comes to perfomence.

  • yeah my Samsung galaxy tab 3 have also 4.4.4

  • yeah my Samsung galaxy tab 3 have also 4.4.4

  • Don't believe those apple fan boys they just came to lie or are jellous

  • I had Kit Kat 4.4.4 fast enough

  • Full specs! No, it is not. Why state full specs även it is not?!?!

  • Do u have to b on contract to get this

  • Well Asus is being very slack in fixing the bluetooth issues that have plagued us since the 4.4.w update. After the 4.4.4 update, still nothing. Check the complaints, they are so many i was scolling through hundreds of complaint threads. I still cannot use my b/t keyboard.

  • good perfomance , i am using from october 2013, still in good condition and good working Thank you google

  • How do I download applications on my nexus 7

  • My N7 2012 received the 4.4.3 update... Not everybody will receive it at the same time obviously... google it and you'll find the factory image, or you can just wait

  • Google probably ditched the old Nexus 7 since it was released two years back. All newer nexuses (the nexus 4, nexus 5, and the new nexus 7), GPe devices, and even Motorola devices (Moto X, G, and E) have received 4.4.3 update. Nexus 7 2012 is the only device left out.

  • When it will be release for my nexus 7 2012 android 4.4.3 , how to update please help

  • You've messed up the software reset it and I'll be all good

  • Video screen is great, size perfect, weight good, Google Play sucks. Had winamp streaming radio, worked perfectly. Something happened and it would not play one of my favorite channels. Uninstalled winamp, tried to re-install, and could not, instead being pushed through Google Play, promising the same experience, except it costs $11.00/ month instead of $0.00. :( Not cool. I'm scrapping this piece for something with integrity behind it. FOGA

  • I always use a local (Malaysian) dongle can I attach this to the nexus asus 7

  • bought an asus nexus 7 online thru staples just before Christmas 2013. battery failed before march 1st. sent it in for repairs. rep confirms that they did not actually repair or replace my battery. (just wasted my time.) now I have to do everything again thru asus. I will send it back again, as asus tries to run out the warranty clock. I cannot get a refund. cannot get them to fix it. I definitely would not buy this piece of garbage again. my son wanted it, but I should have insisted on an apple mini ipad. don't buy this stuff until they fix the battery. the battery problem has been known since at least 2012. I consider myself a victim of fraud because they knowingly sold me a device with an unfixable battery.

  • This is a cost effective gadget. In term of web browsing, there is no problem whatsoever. It performance only gets better after every update. It no longer support verygraphic intense games, but no affecting my day to day use. As compared to my friends tablet (samsung tab, asus transformer) at same age, I am still proud user of google nexus 7 2012.

  • I own a nexus 7 (late 2012) and I can tell you it has become a bit laggier after the update to kitkat . I recommend getting an iPad mini . it is much smoother and has a bit more screen

  • I'm still using my G1 (2012) Asus Nexus 7. During the lifetime I've owned this tablet I've experienced a period (2 weeks approximately) when the tablet refuse to power on. Early this year there were times when the device couldn't detect a wireless signal. Other than that, the tablet is running smoothly.

  • This is the poorest product and customer service experience I have ever had. I purchased two tablets 13 months ago for my two boys Christmas presents. They have both been sent back for repair with the same fault (problem turning the tablet on and freezing) The hassle I had in trying to return the product was unbelievable. We have had them back for 3 months and one of them has now got the same fault. This time Asus have refused to repair as the tablet is a month out of warranty, despite it being the same fault. I have repeatedly requested from the idiot in customer service the contact details of the customer service director but they have refused. I would strongly recommend AGAINST purchasing this product

  • Instagram video &#10004; Wechat video call &#10004; Line video call &#10004; ...but havent tried skype.

  • I have got 4.4.2 just now. I think all bugs will be gone.

  • Yeah it suports skype .pvz and insta.. Its very good and fast.. It has also 3g .

  • Google didnt tell us that we can use sd card on n7 12 in kitkat. I tried to open camera and camera said that-'insert sd card or the camera will not work' Can anybody tell me where to put sd card? Verrrry funny? Help!!!!

  • Not sure about instagram, but skype video works, so does PvZ2. :)

  • wtf!! i charge my n7 2013 when the battery is about 10% or less and i charge it for about 2hrs and 30mints. to get full. i think mine is doing good for about 3weeks of using it. lets take care our battery :D

  • Hello is this support skype videocall, instagram and plants vs zombie 2 ? Please thank you.

  • as of now i dont have any problem with my n7 2013 using 4.3JB version. so might update mine when i got some lags or some problem. :D maybe you too.

  • I have got ktkt . ktkt is full of lagging .I have solved some major problems. Now battary stands 5 hour if I play asphalt or NFS.in jb that was 4hour 20-30minut. So I would say ktkt is better than jb . but not better than 4.1(the first one). I want 4.1.

  • are you using Android Kitkat? I already found a workaround for this. In settings > Sounds, disable the Touch sounds option. This will fix the weird sound problem in bluetooth streaming audio.

  • Buy Nexus 7 2013 version, it's the best tablet for a cheap price. On the iPad you can't do alot of stuff, you don't have the freedom that Google gives you.

  • No...bro no Bluetooth problems yet ,, I regularly use my Bluetooth speaker 1 to 2 he's every day.... Nexus 7 2012

  • Has anyone who have upgraded their Nexus 7 to Kitkat experienced any problem with bluetooth audio? I'm having problem with it. I'm encountering weird stuttering sound everytime I press the home button while playing a music via bluetooth. Anyone who also knows how to fix it? Thanks!

  • could any one help me to chose between Apple- ipad 4 and nexus 7 ???

  • Hi All, I bought my Nexus 7(2nd generation) tablet from US. I reside in India and still I am yet to get the Android 4.4 OTA update. Kindly tell me when I would be getting it. Many of them have started receiving them.

  • anybdy plz tell me hw to update this tab from 4.2-4.4......

  • Nexus 7 has a lot of problem in Kitkat. 1. When i try to add widgets to home screen there on the top is written ((app info)). Then i throw that widget up and get back to home i see the ((app info)) on search bar. 2.i plugged my headphone and rise the volume up.then i again try to control volume.the volume was not rising or going down.

  • In my tab, It was only showing that downloading update of 182 Mb but the progress of downloading 4.4 update was not showing but after few minutes it suddenly pop up that your device will restart in 10 seconds then new update was installed after restart of tab. If still it is not working then please try to connect the tab to wifi which is having good internet bandwidth

  • Yes it is working but it is nor downloading showing waiting for download via wifi till 26 nov..i dont know when it will start downloading tell me

  • Does any dongle work with this tab...????

  • Thanks a lot

  • Those who didn't get Android Version 4.4 Kitkat update on their Nexus 7 can try this thing. Goto "Settings" then "Apps" Then click on "All" then goto "Google Framework Services" then click on "Clear Data" and Click on"Force Stop". Now goto "About Tablet" from "Settings" and click on "System Updates" and press on "Check now" button. You might get newer version. I got it with this trick.

  • Did any of the people using the Nexus 7 2012 in Israel got the update for Android 4.4?

  • No update yet

  • Hello All, if you didnt got the kitkat update then you can try this trick.. goto settings then goto google framework servicethen click on clear data and force stop and again goto software update and then check for latest update. You might get nee version notification. This trick worked for me. You can give it a try. Thanks

  • yet dint got any update for KITKAT on my nexus 7 india? wat was an issue? thanks in Advance

  • I changed the charger now it is okk. Thanxxx

  • Hi Danish, I too faced the same problem. The issue is with the charger provided by ebay while shipping. If you had directly bought from US stores like wallmart,bestbuy or staples, then you wouldn't have faced this charging problem. I would suggest you buy a charger cable locally(this charger wire should be hardly 5-6 meters in length max,coz the minimum distance between the plug point to the Nexus 7 USD charging point, the better and quicker charge the device will get). Also, charge your Nexus 7 by turning the device off and once Nexus 7 is fully charged, turn it on. First 2 weeks full battery drain and then charging it full is very vital for the device's battery performance to do better in the long run. I always charge my Nexus 7 only after the battery indicator shows 4%. Good luck with the method I suggested above and do let me know your feedback.

  • not really:

  • the supplied charger is high current at 2 amps. be sure to use one with a USB lead that can handle this current as well.

  • 4.4 for nexus 4 & 7 rolling out today

  • I bought my nexus 7 16 gb from eBay. It is a US modeal . it is taking around 9 hour for full charging. What should I do plsss anyone help me...

  • The easiest way to transfer files from my nexus to the computer was I thought using "software data cable".

  • Anyone got android kitKat ? Pls reply me

  • The Nexus(2012) has a system-on-chip(SOC) made by Nvidia and called the Tegra 3. The SOC is something like a motherboard in a computer where all the different componenets like CPU, controllers etc are plugged in. This SOC contains all the components like CPU(quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 1.2ghz), GPU (12-core GeForce ULP), memory controller etc build into it.

  • does it support usb otg i mean can i connect usb flash drive to it

  • For the money its fantastic great battery life it should be 300 dollars

  • google nexus 7 or samsung tab3 8.0

  • I have a 2012 model with 32gb, no sim.

  • for gaming this is best . it's got nvedia tegra

  • 32GB is Nexus 7 (2013), the 2nd generation of Nexus 7. 8/16GB is 1st generation of Nexus 7.

  • I am having trouble accessing the internet using my 3g reliance sim . have tried manually entering the APN settings but don't help.any suggestions?

  • That is fine but please tell whether these wi-fi versions support USB data cards of reliance and photon???

  • WHAT?? Internal 8/16!!! Did You Know That I Have The Nexus 7 With 32GB???

  • Does the wifi 16 GB version support USB data cards of reliance and photon??

  • can it be used with any sim for calling purposes?

  • the problem is your connection.

  • the problem is your connection.

  • I have a Samsung Tab 2. 7 , it is working nicely with games and slow in surfing with wIfi.

  • You should first activate your Sim

  • Nexus 7

  • Nexus 7 is best for gaming and in all aspects. go for it

  • which one of this tablets is the best for hardcore gaming and surfing the net.. 1 samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 2 samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 3 nexus 7

  • go with samsung galaxy tab 2 but if you can increase your budget then better go for samsung galaxy tab 3 it is just awesome...and its price is around Rs.16-17,000 in india...

  • I think it is not having calling facility. I am looking for a tab with calling facility. Which one is better. My budget is 15000/-

  • Owner of the "old" nexus 7 and I still Love it!

  • it is still a good tablet

  • the old version is good why buy that new model heck its expensive and when you have already a cellphone that is considered a smart phone unless your using an analog device phone.. the new one is just similar that of the okd they just add a cam on its back but you have a cellphone already that can take picture or maybe a dslr or a still camera.. you can also root the old one and make it new if you are a freaking tech geek..

  • Dear friend. I use nexus 7 WiFi which can use sim. Can anyone help me how to use net setter or dongle in tat . I tried many way but I was failed. .

  • I love the Nexus 7.2 but I will not be buying it .....micro sd slot would.have made it a very attractive purchase but I do not want things sticking.out of micro usb fitting.Google might like me to go the way of CLOUD ... but I do not think so....I would rather be.old fashioned for a little bit longer and store stuff on hard drives and micro sd cards etc.SO GOOGLE HAS LOST ONE CUSTOMER...and there are quite a few million people like me who are.not ready for CLOUD ...so Google should think of them also....and consider their needs.So it seems like I will be looking elsewhere for my small tablet...and that makes me sad because I really was looking forward to a Nexus 7......maybe next year .....a Nexus 7.3....but only if the micro sd slot is on board and also microusb and an hdmi port...and an even slimmer ..almost edge to edge screen.....and if possible a removable battery

  • Guys- as the New Nexus 7 is about to arrive (Cellular one), but do you think still the Old one a good one to continue? I am planning to buy one, but New One (Cellular Model) is too expensive in local market, where the Old one is very economic as per me.

  • Install VNC app - why?

  • Does it have dongle support? Someone please give me the correct answer.

  • Dude, I recently came back from Hong Kong. Yes Nexus 7 is available in HK and Macau. But I recommend you to take Nexus 10 if your budget suits. I bought my Nexus 7 in December-2012 from Toronto, Canada and it works awesome. I am very much satisfied with the product, now I wish I might have taken a 10 instead of 7. Now it's your call.

  • don't purchase this tablet one of the worst and bad tablet. i n my tablet 5 month old few days before LCD screen was scratch automatically. after I search Google some people was faced the same problem. only left side corner of the screen. don't waste money.

  • Install VNC app.

  • Hi, I am from Indonesia, I have no idea if the new nexus 7 will be available in my country or not (and when?). By any chance, at the end of this month I have a trip to Macau, HK and Thailand, does anybody know if the new nexus 7 has already been available in one of those places, what price? and where is the place I can buy it? Thanks.

  • Can/Does it play all video formats specifically .mkv??

  • for india buy from amazon.in as 16gb Wifi version is 12000INR & 32gb Wifi is 16000INR

  • Thanks, have done so, and so far having no issue with it. 8-)

  • Do it... 4.3 is most advanced

  • yeah u should go ahead with the installation..when i update mine it improves performance alot :)

  • yes u shud update

  • can u sim card for calls or does it have a slot for sim cards

  • I have just purchased Nexus 7 (2012) 32Gb wifi. The built-in OS is Android 4.2. When I first activated/ran the Nexus, it automatically downloaded OS update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Should I go ahead and install 4.3? Any known downside to this version?

  • why do i care?

  • Updated OTA. It takes about 5 minutes.

  • OTA

  • Updated on OTA

  • Updated to 4.3 in India

  • Did you get it OTA or on a rooted N7?

  • Nothing here as yet.

  • 4.3 OTA update(158MB) done, using 'Force Stop' in Google Services Framework under Apps. Takes approx. 6 attempts.

  • You can update to 4.3 by using Force Stop in Google Services Framework. It takes around 6 attempts.

  • updated my nexus 7 to android 4.3 today. :)

  • Yes,updated just now to 4.3 in UK.Found advice somewhere:clear - download manager,downloads and google framework services, then restart.Check for update again.If doesn't work do it again.On mine Nexus 7 i had to try 3 times and move on.

  • Here you can see the most complete review of the new Google Nexus 7 FHD Tablet & Also the cheapest prices @ :

  • Hey Guyz I got the update today in Pakistan.

  • i have got the 4.3jb update today. i found no change in interface. everything is same. now i have to experience the perefomance

  • Guys still waiting if anyone knows or gets it please notify us.

  • accually not.i'm stil waiting

  • did anyone able to update their asus google nexus 7 to android 4.3, i can't seem to update mine, can someone pls tell me why cant i update my tablet.thanks :)

  • anyone got the update to 4.3

  • Wtf where's front camera???

  • This is an completely unrelevant comment. This is about Google Translate being a f*cking annoying app. This is not something buyers should be aware of. And google isn't going to see your comment so neither would they edit their app because of this.

  • Do factory setting restore....

  • I have bought this 32GB-WiFi Only version for nearly 6 months and I really really love it in almost every aspects. Although the functionality is impaired by only owning a WiFi only version, I can get everything done smoothly like watching HD movies, playing hardcore games, and reading ebooks. Sure I wish I could own the next gen of this tablet or nexus 5 for an exchange.

  • Use Original Charger. then only the charging will last. else this will make the battery DRAIN. use only original Google Nexus charger. they make a fast charging and even the tablet last for 7 long hours even watching to videos. FOr me I watch 2 movies on a full charge and 10 % still remains.

  • lack of extra storage space is no longer a problem, you can now get a OTG micro usb connection kit (cable) and plug your usb stick to it. Not as convenient as having a micro usb inside but it works. Watch movies direct from your usb stick on your nexux 7 device. Same cable works for smartphones and others using a micro usb.

  • an amazing tablet and it also has amazing battery life!!!

  • no its just fine i had it 4 over a year and its running perfect

  • no its just fine i had it 4 over a year and its running perfect

  • THE GOOD : Relatively cheap; great quad-core CPU and GPU performance for mobile gaming THE BAD: Lacking a memory expansion slot...WHY??? Overall: Good as a mobile gaming device, but not as a "storage" device. 32GB may sound quite large, but if you have a large collection of songs/pictures/videos/games, that size still is not enough.

  • i dont think so...so far i use this tablet it is completly fine , no problem

  • No it does not unless you download plenty apps And u have an 8 gb

  • Hello friends I have heard that this tablet becomes laggy after 9-10 months use is this true??

  • Will Nexus 7 not function without Google on my main computer with WiFi?

  • this device is not working Google translate properly also cannot listen how to pronounce the word so please let me know is there any solution

  • It doesnt have a proximity sensor it has ambient light sensor

  • The best tab!!!

  • It has front facing camera, so Skype video calls should work on a good wifi network

  • yes

  • I have one and the battery drain so fast what can i do ??

  • please tell me this tab support wifi video calling on skype.

  • please tell me this tab support wifi video calling on skype.

  • Are the mailing, Chatting with the GF or making Calls, bad things? They are the added features. If the priority is for gaming, Nexus 7 is preferable or as a Tab, Tab 2 is good. In short, other than the speed, Tab2= Nexus 7 + Camera + 3G + Extra memory + superior H/W. Intel don't make OS for their PCs. Similarly it is not bad that Galaxy uses Android and we don't expect Samsung to develop their Samdroid.

  • Who needs a camera on this device. Most of the cameras in phones and tablets take lousy to average quality photos anyway. A cheap digital camera can take better photos than any tablet or phone.

  • Personally, the absence of a rear camera is nothing. Should a picture be desired use a proper camera for a proper image. Next thing will be the must - have - all customers will want a hand basin version so they can wash their hands!

  • Of course is worth buying it for that price, i think the asus nexus 7 is very good with prformance and features, if i was looking for tablet i would buy this one!

  • Its great i bought a 32 gb version and i have like 20 awesome games and i cant fill its memory there is an app called nexus importer where you can watch videos and listen to music from your usb or external hdd.it never frizes even when i multitask its worth evry coin

  • i loved the nexus 7 it was great for heavy gaming however the screen would break without reason and there was no back camera are my 2 complaints

  • are you nut's ? ...nexus 7 3G already out for years...

  • are you nut's ? ...nexus 7 3G already out for years...

  • lol

  • Of course, you can have "video calling"

  • mehas good noodle for good price

  • How about usb conection? Is it there.

  • NO radio and no sim makes this tablet weak

  • No memory card slot and no video calling support makes the tab weak to buy ( gsm is not a prob )

  • not a like this price a model is not good

  • Yes because the tablet is with quad-core processor not with dual-core like iPad and the tablet has 1 GB RAM memory and you have to play more games with multitasking and of course the Nvidia and GeForce ULP should give to you better graphics

  • Yes, i liked it

  • You don't buy a tablet for the camera features do you?

  • Is it worth of buying it?

  • how about camara man. ? ? ? extreamly dispointed with, 1.3 mgpxl

  • I have the GN7 for about 6 months now. Its beautifully built and the overall experience is awesome. Can't find another better tab when it comes to price point. If you're into movies, songs and games the 16gb is just about enough. But it is advisable to take the 32gb. Or if you can wait then rumours has it that a new GN7 is coming in Q3 or early Q4. And yes I will buy the new GN7 because of the Nexus experience. So to sum it up the GN7 is phabletlous.

  • Hi, i have a question. Is 16 gb enough if youwant to fill it with movies songs and heavy games? or do you prefer 32 gb?

  • superb tab...

  • Is google going to release a new nexus 7 and if so should I wait till then or can I just get the old nexus 7?

  • dude its a prduct of google and asus .... nexus series products will updates directly frm google so they get the updates first when compared to other products... fastest updates and new updates will first come to nexus products only

  • Yup upgradeable to 4.2.2 mmm using it now.

  • Will the nexus 7 get all the android updates?

  • I have read most of the people opinion over here regarding NEXUS 7...1st of all for all buyers let me inform that its ( GOOGLE NEXUS 7 ,wifi 32GB model ) avble on Shopcluse for approx. RS.18000/- and on Snapdeal for RS.17600/- and offcourse on GOOGLE.playstore for RS.18999/- i was not able to find cheaper in market than these prices.. so i purchased from Snapdeal ( with 7 days replacemnt warranty) NOw if we talk about performance.. dont even think about comparing it to samsung TAB 2.. ASUS hardwares quality are on diffrnt league then of samsung....feels like u comparing apple ipads tablets with a micromax :p this is purily made for entertainment purpose..( hardcore gamers, and smooth display movies) NOT FOR YOUR EMAILS CHECK OR TALKING WITH YOUR GFs in night...so forget sim slots.. and 1 Basic things all people forgets that ANDROID is basically designed by GOOGLE... in short samsung is using GOOGLE OS...on thr tablet after modifying ...where as in NEXUS devices....GOOGLE HAS BEst hardware with there own made softwares... resulting to BEST performance to any other tablet device USING ANDROID... chaoooo... close of unnecessary fightingg.. peace OUT :p

  • Not yet !

  • is there any new update (after 4.2.2)?

  • Its a great compact tablet, i have the 16gb model. This tablet is awesome when it comes to performance. And you cant find a great tablet like this in its price point.quad core is just so fast and smooth, if you want a tablet with GSM and calling capability then go for the asus fonepad, its available already. The metal body is nice plus the rear camera and intel processors inside it.

  • Thanks guys...I'll opt for Nexus 7 for sure. :)

  • Say who..Einstein Jr ? ...1.0 dual core with crappy sgx540 GPU I don't think it's a reasonable in terms of "The Best".

  • If your propriety are for GSM call only I suggest don't ever to bother spamming here..nexus are for hardcore gaming fan. End.

  • Dude tab 2 can't do heavy gaming like nexus 7...before buy you must think first..you can't get powerful tablet+GSM call+camera rear with cheaper price...either you're samy fanboy or kids.

  • Highly recommended!

  • You must go for nexus 7

  • Please someone guide me who have use the following both tablets..Which one to go for in term of performance?..I don't care about camera! 1. SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 2 7.0 P3100 2. Asus Google nexus 7

  • I think u get it wrong, this think is a TABLET, not a phone.

  • Sim Calling System is not available thats a Big Drawback in this Great Phone. i have not buying this due to only this lack

  • guys don't go for it 'coz it's not having rear cam, calls facility and Asus is providing better version phonepad so just check it out or else go for tab 2.

  • ithapathy enaku onume theryadu apram na enatha solla

  • Its awesum amzing wonderful fantaic marvellousst

  • whether it is worth to buy this nexus 7 will it be better than samsung and HCl tabs. Kindly answer me

  • How many Asus Google Nexus 7 device was been realease in the market in terms of its Processor? i got a 1.3Mhz (Dual Core) who got first a quad core or a dual core?

  • Galaxy tab 2 is the best:-)

  • can we use usb modem or dongle plzz answer me

  • The only thing the Nexus cannot do without Wifi is access the internet. All non-dependent apps will function just fine. In fact turning off Wifi when you don't need it adds a couple of hours to your battery life.

  • Takes notes in some reason android blocked .apk sharing via bluetooth... Just rename the .apk into .zip or etc

  • Why does the N7 cant recieve any .apk files via samsung? pls help

  • N7 has 4.2.2 . plz fix it. Or update it when 4.3 opende

  • will nexus operate without wifi....someone plz reply...

  • Well you are the pathetic one here. Nexus 7 are made for heavy gaming and not for lite or simple tap-tap game or angry birds . If you regret because it made for gaming then why you buying it ?

  • He said micro sim slot, not sdcard slot. No nexus 7 device will have a sdcard slot.

  • Don't panic. You got the cellular version that comes with 32gb internal, that's all.

  • That's the cellular version, comes with 32gb internal memory.

  • User is talking about the micro-sim slot.The 32 GB Nexus 7 has a micro sim slot.

  • What do you mean by "It has nothing"? If your device has no apps, probably you need to download some from Google Play.

  • It must be fake. Mine doesn't have an SD card slot and I bought it directly from google.

  • dafaq ?! ... i have the nexus 7 and it does have a micro sim car slot i use a high speed gsm 25MBPS ...

  • from what site it is??

  • Are you sure that this phone contains gorilla protection?

  • Yup I downloaded all those game for free but not from play store. I've got them from other sites.

  • did u download all these games on play store for free?please tell me

  • Pathetic devise, please don't buy. I paid 17590 for this piece of shit. Its maybe only for games. I am not quite a gamer. Nothing in here that I have notice has impressed me. On contrary,a lot many lacunas has disappointed. Complete waste of money as far as I am concerned.

  • IN CASE THAT THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ANYONE.Recently my Kid damage the USB. So my Nexus 7 simply won't charge by USB. So after a month of not being able to use it. I decide to buy the ASSUS DOCK STATION. And to my surprise the tablet was dead. It did not turn ON and the screen looks like it was water damage PIXELS DISTORTION. So i discover that if you let your nexus 7 discharge completly it won't charge or turn ON. No matter what you do. It will keep repeting the cycle of turn it on and turn it off over and over.. So how to fix this...SIMPLY let it charge for a hour or so and PRESS POWER AND VOLUME UP & DOWN...ACCESS TO THE RECOVERY MODE...And press ONE TIME ONLY on the VOLUME DOWN. Just in case that just like me the screen is not showing you anything. and then press the POWER BOTTOM. That way you will shut it off. PLUG IT IN to the DOCK STATION in my case and you will see the baterry ICON and it will charge. It seems this is a NEXUS 7 FLAW... I RECOMEND THE DOC STAION from ASSUS it will charge by the POGO PINS and is the best options for those Tablet that won't charge by USB.

  • My nuxus 7 doesnt charge with a charger but only when i plug on the my desktop. Please help

  • Nexus 7 is a good device and cheap, real value for the money. But they built it for a disposable device, The screen material is very poor. I have nexus 7 for 2 weeks, and after that, the screen suddenly cracked, it can't withstand pressure, even other chinese tablets able to withstand some pressure. And when I asked for screen replacement, Asus charge me $205 for only a screen, while a brand new unit cost about $376! If you want to buy Nexus 7, go ahead, but be careful with the screen, as they built it with a disposable purpose just like a tampon, "use and discard".

  • thank u i read it but it s an old article 2010 i understood some stuff from it but it s different right now the touch screens improved the stylus tech improved and the apps too so i guess all i have to do is wait for the next nexus

  • if anyone here is from egypt i want to know the date when the first nexus available in egypt because mostly the next one wil be around the same date

  • It depends if your are sketching on your tablet or writing. Here is a link that may explain the difference on the various types of screens and what type would fulfill what you are looking to do.

  • thats like joke of the century lol

  • Then no more Asus products for you then.

  • then you should use nexus10. its awesome.

  • i m an architect and i m waitting for the next n7 the question is : anyone used for taking notes with a stylus and for drawing is the 7 inch screen enough or i have to get the 10 inch tablets ??? please help

  • best tab ever

  • the best 7" tablet I've ever used fast , very responsive the quad core CPU is more than excellent for the tablet the display is great and the best of all.... its a nexus device!!!!

  • Dude it is available since 04/04/2013 on play store, you will get the delivery within 4-5 days if you dont stay in Interiors

  • best tablet on the planet, light powerful, good battery life.

  • Yes you can use skpe and other apps who use front facing camera

  • Best Tablet from Google....!!!

  • Its not better than samsung p 2 3100

  • how is the screen in the direct sunlight?

  • This tablet is good i purchased it from usa even before it launched here in india i got the 32gb one and you can increase the space by installing nexus media importer without root but only read capability. And we can connect 1tb harddisk also via usb otg but does not work properly when battery is low. And we can also connect usb dongle to this via a widget called ppp widget but this requires root access

  • It is a tablet, not a phone... of course it has no SIM slot. I do agree on the expandable microSD memory though.

  • A very poorly made product. What is even worse is the lack of concern from service. The screen breaks very easily and there is no consideration by the company. I highly recommend that NO ONE buys this product. I will never purchase another product from this company.

  • Yes u can, I have a Nexus 7 and I can. with skype and also other webcam enabled services.

  • Umm first of all this is not a phone, it's a tablet computer, second u don't need a camera with a 7 inch tablet, it's hard to taking photos with that size, third yes a micro-sd card slot would be really good but you have ability to buy the 32 gb version for $250 and that's an enough storage believe me..

  • This is good phone to play game but no camera at back and no sim card and micro sd card slot this is bAd thing

  • what? 1.2 front camera only??

  • The next nexus 7 still rumors although Google claim released HD display variant with same spec and S4 pro for nexus 7 variant are not gonna happen as nexus generation's always giving the cheaper price..keep in your mind android OS are buggy and 1ghz dual core samsung tab 2 with lower performance then nexus 7 quad core without laggy are just bluff.

  • In the spes, gsmarena says camera: Primary 1.2 MP Features: Video-calling so my ques is, can I make video calls through WiFi?? or can I use "Skype/viber/fring" on this device?? ( or even I use headphones for this apps)" plzzz reply. I want to buy this device.

  • As on 11/4/1013 , Croma stores (in Bangalore) don't know anything about availability of Nexus 7. I went to Asus sales store and they informed me of its availability in their stores in 7 days from now.

  • how to access google wallet i have nexus n still dont know how help ^.^ please

  • there is a WIFI +3g version of this if you want to send sms and mms. or better yet go get yourself a nokia if all you are yapping about is SMS and MMS

  • This page needs to be updated. Google and ASUS India have already launched the better versions here in India. Google has the 16GB on its Play store and ASUS has the 32 GB via retailers like Croma. The device has 3G and wi-fi flavours. I have personally used the 32GB and it rocks. NFS Most wanted is the game to play on this HD screen. Chao.

  • I've nexus 7 32gb from last three months and it's the best thing I have ever owned. And 7' inch is perfect for gaming which is my first requirement. I have played most of the HD games like GTA 3,GTA VICE CITY,TDKR,NFS MOST WANTED,NOVA 3,MODERN COMBAT 4,MAX PAYNE MOBILE,ASPHAT 7,WILD BLOOD,HORN so on...and all the games are pretty smooth on ma nexus 7. So guys if you are game lover then it is 'must have tablet' for you.

  • Look I didn't say that Nexus 7 is bad! I know it is great! But I'm going with Tab 2 coz my elder brother owns a Tab 2, and its performance is very good, and yeah I'm buying these atleast after 6 months and when I'm gonna buy tab then the updated version of Nexus 7 will be available with Snapdragon S4 pro cpu! Lets see what happens! BTW didn't knew about the performance issues; thanks for that; but I didn't face any major problems with my brother's Tab 2!

  • Want more camera with low price from Asus ? Say who ? Your mama ? ...nexus 7 made for gaming not for the photographer...want more pixel go buy Camera or smartphone.

  • Err sir did you know tab 2 7inch performance more worse then tab 7+, 7.7, 8.9 ? As informed by Samsung their lack of source to continue making their tab...that's why tab 2 price released with affordable price compare to early of their tab product..so how come quad core nvidia performance can't win the Samsung tab 2 even though in antutu nexus 7 beats all 7inch tablet ?

  • Nope can't agree with you..so far nexus 7 the cheapest quad core reliable product compare to others...less cost price equipped with Display led ips and corning gorilla protection power by nvidia quad core manufacturer by Asus...Nexus 7 are made for hardcore user and not for going people.

  • this is ridiculous, having a video calling spec but there is only a 1.2 mp primary cam and no secondary cam.

  • I would rather choose Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3110 (No SIM) instead of Nexus 7! For my moderate usage Dual Core CPU is more than enough! Yeah; I love Nexus phones and tabs but this time Tab 2 will be my choice!

  • at digital trends. there where reported a lot of nexus 7 isues.are these true

  • Nice and constructive comment!

  • Nexus 7 have a nice display!!, applications are responded very fast!!!, compact in hand, games are playing smoothly!!!. However it is not supporting GSM call facility :( which is the biggest disadvantage to reach indian customers. so it may not competate with samsung tab 2. They should release call facility upgrade for existing model to fulfill in India....

  • Asus has launched the 32GB variant of Google Nexus 7 tablet in India.This new version of the tablet comes in Wi-Fi as well as Wi-Fi+3G variants, whereas the model being sold via Google Play Store does not support mobile data.Asus has priced the Wi-Fi-only variant of Nexus 7 at Rs 18,999, while the Wi-Fi+3G model costs Rs 21,999..

  • i thought nexus 7 was very nic tab... bt it was not receved the sim card its bad nd...we r not sending sms nd mms its very bad... :-(

  • nexus 7 lacks nly rear camera. odrwise ths wud b best buy for all d gamng freaks.

  • I fully agree with you.

  • I think its the best gaming tab !! and its much cheaper than galaxy tab 2......

  • I want to Buy This Brand New Nexus 7. Shall i buy It ? Please Friends Help Me Out.

  • Just launched in India. Galaxy Tab 2 with dual core and calling facility is avaiable for 14999. So I think the only advantage that's the Quad core will not help much.

  • There is any sim card option in nexus 7 tablet bec of i had read there is no any sin card features

  • I think widout calling functionality dat 'll not work against samsung tab 2

  • My Nexus 7 is currently running 4.2.2. I'm pretty sure Google released the update for the 7 a few weeks ago, that needs to be changed.

  • Secondary Camera should be there ....

  • no secondary camera???? dat will b a disaster for this device....

  • The Nexus 7 is honestly the only tablet I have ever used. And I do not regret my decision to get the 32GB WiFi version at all. With a screen protector and an OTG keyboard and XBOX 360 controller, along with my kernel (not public yet) and PA, this tablet can beat the crap out of even the Nexus 10 in terms of portability, functionality and durability. Best money can buy, honestly.

  • Depends on what u use for ? ...to me iPad mini with no retina display and without corning gorilla and dual core 1Ghz 512mb RAM I rather choose nexus 7 for gaming and sosial use with no single $ for application and no jailbreak afraid void of warranty.

  • Satisfied with the nexus 7....cheap price and worthy to grab, Asus+nvidia sure hell awesome graphic effect, less charging more hours using(adorable tablet charging with ASUS logo)...JB 4.2.2 with no lag and multitasking 2GB uncompress + 5 tab of surfing using chrome + 1GB download...28GB full of game install and heavy application and 600mb RAM free...I won't regret with my beloved nexus7!

  • camera is poor only 1.2 MP

  • say what? fragile duh...

  • Wish it had would work with a USIM. that would make this the perfect "to buy" device.

  • is it necessary to have a screen protector for the nexus 7?..heard that its surface is supposedly scratch resistance..pls advice..

  • The best tablet. I like it's IPS display and quad core processor interesting! Value for MONEY

  • The best tablet I've ever used great in almost everything!!!!

  • im waiting for the 2nd generation nexus 7.hope they fix the issue of the glass being very fragile.

  • there will be 2nd generation nexus 7 and expected announcement will be on may. google it.

  • There is this cheaper tablet called the Zeki. Sure it lacks the top notch resolution but has a dual core 1.5 processor, 1 GB RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. It even has a microsd card slot that supports up to 32 GB! Downside is that Google Play is not installed and it won't let you sideload it. There is a way to root it, however...then using root explorer, it can be pushed to the system/app.

  • what to buy nexus 7 or iPad mini plz advise

  • Absolutly no phone support.

  • I have a ASUS Google Nexus 7 and if it is used very little the battery can last 8 days.

  • Duh device nowadays can't play flash type game unless was made for apk...

  • Read more before comment... Tablet nowadays have unremovable battery and iPad still on top although more annoying.

  • Non-removable Li-Ion 4325 mAh battery, means non-replaceable battery this is even more stupid than not including a micro sd slot.

  • Google "android flash player", and choose e.g.

  • I tried to play a game on Facebook but it says needs the latest flash..n I can't seem to play even after installing flash..any advice?

  • I have a nexus 7 also. Install Firefox browser 1st (from google store). To install flash from Adobe site. You need to go to settings --security and enable unknown sources Then install flash see link below.

  • Current jellybean already have flash player. try using chrome or dolphin browser...some site may can't be opened as smartphone nowadays not support flash player like PC.

  • have it usb on the go? please somone answer. i read somwhere that it has...!!!

  • Pls someone help me..need advice installing flash player,can't seem to get it..

  • Actually current nexus 7 already support video 1080p full HD as 1280×800..also the display is Led IPS LCD 780° is not bad as you think..if the rumor are true the only different in the variant are their density display and 720p front camera only with the price $249 from current $199..nah I rather waiting for nvidia 4 quad core version.

  • hey pls any body let me know how to install 3g dongle on nexus 7... it will be a get help to me...

  • I am also considering buying a tablet in near future. Some said that there will probably be the next 7" nexus with high definition resolution. Probably for anticipating the next Retina-display iPad mini. As for now, i think this nexus (32GB variant) is kinda affordable and worth the money and it's indeed in my top list. However, i truly in dilemma for choosing tablet for my partner in studying medicine. I heard Samsung note 8" is coming soon. Do you think I should buy this Nexus or wait until the Note come out? I'm afraid the Note will be expensive even for the 16GB Wifi variant.. Anybody, any suggestion?

  • Nah bad idea..making nexus 7 gsm calling capabilities will decreased their performance as Samsung tab nowadays.. Always hang..apple know about this that's why no such things iPad for calling.

  • Nah I don't think will be new nexus 7 variant tablet as current nvidia quad core with Led Ips LCD 219ppi Display Corning Gorilla Glass already the best cheaper budget for nexus(octa core nvidia will be ridiculous in terms of low budget ranged)..but for Asus yes for sure..also Google not interested making nexus variant in same title..next will be nexus 8 or 9 which is for tablet of course.

  • Yes can support otg and pendrive..just install nexus file transfer and buy OTG cable

  • Is Nexus 7 still available at Widget City in the Philippines? Anyone, because when I go there, the Nexus 7 might be sold out at Widget City?

  • I'm looking to buy a tablet in the near future, so please suggest whether it's fine to buy the Nexus 7 or I should wait for any other 'value for money' or a new nexus tab coming up. If you could elaborate as much as possible on your comments that would be great.

  • just install adobe flash player and your good to go... ive been using it for 4 months now with my nexus 7... even chrome has a built in player that can play flash videos...

  • This is great tab ...its feel me smooth faster no hang at all. But one thing disopiont me no adobe flashplayer,Good for gaming and latest google updates

  • In Asus Google Nexus 7 can i plug pendrive

  • if it will have sim calling.then its wondeful

  • My nexus 7 feels very good and fluent...no hangs....thumbs up for Asus

  • Yes that's just the dual core no need to worry

  • this nexus 7 realy cant use sim card ha ???

  • Grats!...if hot I think u used it inside high temperature room ?(I suggest play inside cold room) Or maybe ur tablet having hardware issued..my nexus 7 temperature are normal even tho I'm playing HD games for long period of time.

  • i just got my nexus 7 yesterday and im loving it. its cheap and very smooth to use compare to the crappy 7.0 tab by samsung. i just notice that the back heat up very fast im not using heavy application just utube n browsing

  • Good tablet, fast and good quality

  • Where is 64GB?

  • Nah...nexus 7(Asus) are tablet unless Samsung(still rolled tab 7.0 tho) or LG will take new version nexus 7(gsm variant) or nexus 8(8.9tab)...to me nexus 7 going for gsm variant are bad idea in terms of price!

  • Try Umobile 3G dongle or low yat center or u can just use WiFi tethering from any smartphone support.

  • Well in terms of price I suggest nexus 7 better then annoying tab 8.9 or tab 2 10.1 which is more lag and ugly camera also display.

  • No specification differences, just storage

  • It's the major drawback of the device it doesn't support any network i.e don't have a sim card provision.

  • I recommend you to wait for a new one as this one don't have a camera and sim card, Might be these will be available on next version.

  • No bro, As it don't have a sim card option

  • does it have calling facility?

  • Yeah I think you should get it as its really good tablet the screen is great the processor is fast! And it gets the latest update from and OS as iit's made by Google. By the way I am using Google Now to write what I am writing

  • Should I get the nexus 7 or wait for the new one

  • Can nexus 7 dock be inserted with a broadband modem? Cause mine is the 16 GB WiFi version

  • With the 32gb you have the option of going for WiFi only or WiFi + 3G.

  • I tried that dozens of times and it never worked.

  • No idea why I couldn't update. Once I started playing around with the nexus 7 toolkit and then clicked on update, it finally worked. Asus then called me to organise the tablet to be sent for repair but that wasn't necessary as it has now been fixed. Now I enjoy my tablet more than ever.

  • I am just wondering about the 16 GB and 32 GB versions. Is there any other specification difference except storage space ?

  • Should I reduce from opening any app on the Nexus 7 to avoid crash?

  • actually it's upgradable to android 4.2.2(which is the latest android in market)

  • Is the 16gb WiFi model supports 3g single?from Malaysia

  • Anyone here from Malaysia?rite now I'm using nexus 7 WiFi version...can this version use portable 3g dongle and where to buy?

  • Click settings then click all apps..find google services framework hit the clear data button..just make sure you're wifi connected

  • Brilliant device for an amazing price! I got the 32 GB version for 250 Euros. Its running android 4.2.2 and I have to say that it runs smoothly :-) I reccomend to any android user PS:seven inches is not a problem in fact it fits just nicely in your hands and is perfect for gaming experience... :-)

  • How come! my nexus got the update by itself about 10 days ago or more.No problem at all. my PC broke so this tablet is my only tool for browsing internet. I love it good job Asus.

  • When I first used this tablet I was impressed at how smooth it operates and how affordable it is. One thing that did disappoint me was the fact that I could not upgrade past 4.1.2. After a certain period of time stressing over the update issues I was presented with a solution to update using the nexus 7 toolkit. Now I have finally updated to 4.2.2 and my tablet is working perfectly. Although I have not noticed many changes with the update, I still believe that this is one of the best tablets money can buy.

  • Would've been wonderfull if the 16gb had 3g support too.But I also bought a 3G TENDA G150B(portable 3g router).Put it in ur pocket and there u have a 3g 16 gb Nexus 7.Also the Tenda is pretty cheap 30-40$ ;)

  • Never happened to me, regardless how many apps were opened.

  • As someone believes me to buy Nexus 7 next month, sometimes there is a problem of the following: -If I open a lot of apps, the Nexus 7 can cause crashed. Is there a way on how to fix and solve those crashes on Nexus 7?

  • There is now Nexus 7 3g that has the facility of sim.

  • Theres nexus 7 cellular

  • Please update the specifications. 3G model is out here.

  • Hey guys .. plz suggest me Nexus 7 / Amaze 4G ... I like both but really confuse ... Big prblm is nexus 7 has no sim card option ... That's why m confuse ... Should I buy nexus 7?

  • haha like!

  • 64gb, 2gb ram, wifi and sim enable

  • No viber, whatsapp, Ch@tON etc. not support. Why?

  • Got it. The JB4.2.2. And this is what the Nexus is all about. Latest updates in days and not weeks or months. Below are the list of features. 1) Quick settings toggles. 2) New download notifications. 3) New sounds. To those contemplating buying a GN7, well what are you waiting for? Highly recommended.

  • CDR King ungas. 30 pesos.

  • Jb 4.2.2 update out now! ;)

  • Where can I buy a keyboard connector and USB connector on Nexus 7 here in the Philippines? Anyone?

  • no, u got to buy it seperately.

  • Are USB connector, which allows you to use USB on the tablet, and keyboard connector accessories available on the Nexus 7? Anyone?

  • Are Your from Philippines?? What city?

  • There's a way for you, you can use TP-LINK 3G/3.75G portable broadband Wi-Fi router TL-MR3040 and connect your dongle/hspa/usb stick to it and it will act like a wifi connection for your tablet.

  • bought mine 32gb wifi only at gamextreme for Php12200.. check onlyn for the list of their branches..

  • Where do you live?? You can buy at CMK at quezon ave P13490 32gb wifi version P16500 32gb wifi + 3g or Widgetcity at Pedro Gil P13300 32gb wifi as i remember. P16500 32gb wifi + 3g. or you can check nearest malls on your area.. on my area at SM Fairview currently sale P13500 32gb wifi version

  • I live in the Philippines. As you said I choose Nexus 7 than SGT 2 7.0, I will get Nexus 7 next month. And where can I buy Nexus 7 32GB in stores here in the Philippines that is available?

  • Go for google nexus dude

  • Googe Nexus 7 FTW.blv me its the best tablet in the market today.

  • honestly, the samsung galaxy tab 2 got no good at all, bad processor, very slow.

  • You can't really choose between those two, better relying on your carrier is promoting. You need to ask which carriers is the best and what brand do they promoting to have a best result to your choice.

  • Can't decide between google nexus, or samsung tab 7? Go for the google nexus...The screen is 1280x800, compared to the galaxy 1024x600. Google runs on 4.1 jelly bean, and the samsung runs on ice-cream sandwich 4.0 which is slower.

  • Asus Nexus 7 has got much better graphs, and processor. It's faster than Samsung. And for about 300 dollar, you can have Nexus with cellular and 32 gb.

  • buy Asus Memo Pad ME172V if you want to use a 3G dongle for internet, there also got bluetooth and video calling.

  • Maybe you did not you use the genuine charger provided by Google which is rated 2 Amps instead much less for common micro USB plugs. With the 2Amp plug it takes less than 4 hours.

  • What am I supposed to buy a tablet? Asus Google Nexus 7 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0?

  • I am a student and I decided to buy a tablet next month. What tablet am I going to buy next month? Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 or Asus Google Nexus 7? Please advise me what to buy.

  • Undecided on whether to buy the Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 which one is better??? Btw I really am not looking for a device with dual camera. Rather which one is more durable and user friendly.

  • I'm in SA and the 3G works fine on Vodacom, you need a micro SIM card though.

  • mifi on the go

  • sure u can plug any usb, use usb on the go, but it won't detect ur modem, because android does not support the OS

  • Asus Memo Pad ME172V

  • I am a student and I'm confused on which tab should I get I read and tested the I pad and 2 me it was nonsense the galaxy was good but pockets aren't that Deep so my attention was caught by this amazing device but I'm 4rm south africa and I don't know whether here our wifi or 3g links support that my question is what do yall do with internet or connection or whether is it is a Good Tablet or plz give me other tabs 2 look 4

  • Wow. 12hours to fully charged? That is just way too long. I suggest you go to 'manage application' to clear some cache/data before you begin to charge your tablet. Clear those apps that you don't quite use frequently. 4 hours 30 minutes is the maximum for me to charge from 0 to 100%.

  • Can I use dongle modem in it?? I mean can I plug in any usb modem to use internet??

  • I have one! awesome stuff. High spec apps have no hard time running. You'll have to love it with its quad cores. Get the 32gb with 3G for only 299$. Great value. Much love.

  • It does take a long time to charge, yes. But the nexus 7 lasts for ages once fully charged.

  • My nexus 7 takes 12 hrs to charge from 12% to 100%

  • I got it 32GB WIFI @USD300 but I heard it price is USD250

  • You mean tether the Nexus 7 to your mobile so you can use its 3G internet? Set the option from your phone to act as a WiFi hotspot and connect your Nexus 7 to that from its WiFi settings

  • forgot to tell ya ppl, page rendering just takes 1 to 2 secs. blazing fast

  • 1gb ram is enough for nexus. 600 mb ram always available,no lags at all. snappy performance. nothing to bother about. its a awesome device. in my concern 1 gb is enough till android releases 3 new versions

  • how to connect internet with Bluetooth option via mobile phone? or there is only one option WIFI to connect internet. please help me out.

  • Well i thought to buy one i thought to replace my phone with it but i didn't know that this one doesn't has a sim slot,the price is really good and the performance too.

  • of course you must choose nexus 7 coz its quadcore better than tab 2 dual core only.

  • Go for Google Nexus 7 if you want hard gaming tough

  • Good one but only 1GB RAM. What a pity?

  • i am confused as to buy the nexus 7 or tab2?please help....and wht is the user space available in 16gb version?

  • The color is a bit 'wash out' on some of the movies/videos but you can't complain because this is a 'cheap' tablet. And BTW I tried the app Dice Player and it is as good as MX Player. On another topic I am waiting for the Galaxy Note8. Again happy tabbing.

  • does the pad work as phone and pad both

  • Oh, i see, how about the color in MX player? Does it have vibrant color or only average?

  • No worries mate...

  • Thanks dude. It saves my time searching the play store.I definitely will try it. Once again thank you.

  • Or dice player... Free and has floating video...

  • Oh and BTW watching videos/movies is as good as it gets. I advise you to download the app MX player from the play store. This is IMHO the best player if you love watching movies. Cheers.

  • I have been using the GN7 for more than two months now. I love this tab for its simplicity, speed and overall user experience. The flickering issue that you said will be gone once you upgrade to JB4.2.1. So relax and happy tabbing.

  • Does the ver 4.2.1 still have the flicker issue?and does the screen have a washed out color during video playback? I love watching videos.. And im very concerned abt the experience in watching videos..

  • I like the Google Nexus 7 my only problem I have is since I never owned one that there is nothing explaining how to use it or how to make YAHOO your main page.. Can someone PLEASE give me any advise????

  • What is the difference between this two models Asus NEXUS7-1B076A and Asus NEXUS7-1B075A

  • Root your device and get a USB otg cable to connect a USB memory drive using the stickmount app

  • No. you can't there is no usb port only WiFi

  • Can I trace my lost nexus 7

  • give me all way to get extra momery or connect external mass storage

  • I dont.

  • Is anyone here having problems with battery draining fast on the nexus 7 on android 4.2.1?

  • Yes with Android 4.2.1 upgrade the screen rotation issue seems to have been resolved..I can now browse in landscape as well as portrait mode...

  • how much is the user storage for aplications?its divided wd media for pics and video ryt

  • yes it does

  • Does it's screen rotate at thetime of browsing ? plz anyone me.....

  • Does it's screen rotate at thetime of browsing ? plz anyone me.....

  • May I ask how long it takes to charge from 0% to 100%. Mine takes about 4 hours. And is your tablet JB4.2.1 out of the box? I totally agree with you that this is a very good tablet. Good day to you.

  • I've been running this tablet since Christmas. it is truely amazing. its light and quick. the battery has a good life time cycle. i use it heavily as a multi-platform emulator. in fact it does this so well i ended up selling my xbox and psp hardware. it has even found its way into replacing my netbook as my primary travel computer. Unlike some past android devices, i have been able to configure both zip file and samba access without needing to root the device. Add to the fact that Ubuntu is developing a stable distro for the kernels. core testing is very stable and a full blown tablet ubuntu is close at hand. i am happy to resolve that i will be using this dervice for years to come, and develop a hardy linux tablet. Thank you Google for finally releasing this grade of hardware. The Nexus 7 is a really big little tablet

  • I was about to buy it, but noticed it is for about 370$ in India(16 gb, WiFi). why? Asus should do something about that.

  • Been using it since 2 weeks and I'm loving it. Its fast, has good battery back up and excellent for gaming and browsing. I hate chrome browser on this. Tried Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, UCWeb Browser, Puffin and Dolphin browsers. Dolphin is the fastest and does good flash playback.

  • no, it doesnt dude

  • Oh I've returned it n they had none left so got somethin else

  • Oh no.! Only wiifi,I want have this tablet,but in indonesia wiifi is't not to much more.

  • What you said is quite true. My GN7 is 'dead' after the JB4.2.1 update. When to service centre for repair which took them 13 days to fix the problem. They told me that they changed the 'motherboard'. Now it works flawlessly. I have to tell you that JB4.2.1 is the best. Can't wait for the next update and this is what the GN7 is all about. Cheers.

  • Maybe that is why I cannot download it. Oh well it is still running well on 4.1 so I think I will leave it. Thanks for the advice.

  • are you sure? mine is running with android 4.2.1 for almost 2months now... hahhaha. your unit is defective, try returning it for replacement...

  • do not update to 4.2.1 as it may kill your n7 once the battery dies and you try to charge it again as its happend to me and many others

  • Don't do it, its killed mine I'm havin to take it back

  • Great tablet but cannot upgrade to android 4.2.1. Update will start running after the restart and eventually comes up with the android with an exclamation mark in a red triangle. please help.

  • if anybody has tried connecting tata photon plus using usb then plz tell me whether it got connected or it does not support it.plz its urgent....

  • Oooh I've not come across any minor problems as yet I agree its flawless and it seems as fast as HTC one x+

  • I mean that 4.2.1 is working flawless with Google Nexus 7, except some minor occasions like scrolling web images !

  • Almost? I've just got mine and got the update straight away

  • No ..U cant ...

  • Excellent tablet ! I have been using it for a while and I have to say that I enjoy every moment ! You will never regret if you own one... It's proved again, that Asus can make quality devices, and is proved now, that Google is moving towards to the right path ( version 4.2.1 is working almost excellent in nexus 7).

  • Hi guys pls tell me how to access 3G internet on Nexus 7 tab? Can i connect with 3g USB modem?

  • I recently bought nexus 7 ,its the best tab ever used with an affordable price ,its gifted with long life battery as compare to others,due to having quad core processor you even don't think of to be hanged by playing games n apps smoothly without ups and downs,I like my nexus allot ,I used Samsung tab 2 as well but didn't take any place in my heart due to so many blah, blah, like my nexus HD LED screen too,

  • I used the Google nexus 7 for a month .. No problems every thing is smooth and great. In my opinion this tablet beats iPad mini very badly.

  • check this link

  • nexus 7 does not support dongle. somebody says like huawei dongle is working.

  • Can we run a netconnect dongle or a sim based 3gdongle in nexus 7???? plzz reply

  • There is no rear camera. It has front camera (1.3 mp) only.

  • front, you can use the camera by downloading an app from the store

  • I just wanna know where is the camera?? is it in front or back?? I dont see any camera on the back. But the the specs says there is no secondary camera...I'm totally confused...help me anyone...

  • bought in on 26-11-12, like the latest software, speed fast, but the display ordinary only, soso and battery used up very fast. Then after 3 weeks, found it dead, no able to power on. Send for repair last week and still waiting. Spend holiday and Christmas without my tablet, how sad. Still thinking whether i made wrong decision, should buy tab2 or ipad.

  • does viber work on this tablet?

  • yes. it has bluetooth.

  • We have had it for about 5 weeks, with the 16G memory. No complaints. Had one minor glitch initially when trying to read an e-book, the screen would flicker. Then I asked my 10 year old son what other screens/apps he had open. There were like 4 to 5, closed them out of "recent applications", and then the e-reader ran perfectly. Battery life is more like 3-4 hours if using wifi to stream videos and such, we turn off wifi if just playing games to extend battery. No complaints. My kids ages 8 and 10 can use it easily, and quite intuitively. Runs very fast and very responsive to touch. Tons of free games from GooglePlay, and downloading books from local library was pretty easy as well. Good job ASUS-Google.

  • will gmate works on this??

  • aninol poor battery life,dont run smooth

  • why you people wanna check of other tablet? Nexus is a brand with no bloat,and it is very affordable and extremely fast. Maybe some other company could offer their tablet with much lesser price, But it's NEXUS.

  • I buy ps3 controller and connect it to my nexus 7.. Just plug and play with OTG cable.. Ive enjoyed playing dead trigger,shadowgun, fpse all ps1 games with my emulator :-) the problem is draining the battery because the nexus supplying power to the controller :( But no problem so far on my nexus 7.

  • this is amazing tablet. and just works wonders. i love it. who needs a ipad anyway. the screen on this is as good. i mean i seen 1080p video on it. and ipad 3. no difference. so why twice the price for the same device.

  • One of the first Resellers of the Novo 7 Venus is a site called TabletSprint - which also offers $25 quality in Bonus Apps; as well as Free 3G/4G Connection -- worth checking out Android devices TabletSprint offers...

  • hey people form KSA its time for happiness bcoz nexus 7 3g version is coming on jarir very soon checkout jarir current offers

  • really good.. and amazing graphics, i want to tell something. i have play cod zombies and vice city. grate graphics ever i have see in tablet. but when i playing modern combat 4. its running lower frame rate. (19/20 FPS) . i think tegra 3 not fully supported with modern combat series. ... specially compare with nexus 4 nexus 4 have better graphic optimization . because in nexus 4 46 FPS. but nexus 7 gave better graphics, and high detail of water and textures . in nexus 4 medium graphics quality and gamer recommended smoothness. whatever i think nexus 7 can open your playground. thank you

  • There is no doubt that Google Nexus 7 is great. However,Google Nexus 7 also has a few drawbacks,like the storage space is not expandable and only one camera. Why not try Ainol Novo 7 Venus? Ainol Novo 7 Venus is a great alternative in my opinion. It is also powered by Quad Core CPU ACT-ATM7029 based on Cortex A9 that runs up to 1.5GHz,it has dual cameras,features the same 7 inch 1280X800 IPS screen as Google Nexus 7. One drawback of Ainol Novo 7 Venus is that it has 8GB Nand Flash,but expandable to 32GB - this is very important and matters,I like this.It's sold at $149.99 only from JSXL Technology. I share this just because I think the more choices of Tablet PCs,the better for us.

  • nexus 7 as it has 1.2 ghz dual core cpu with nvidia tegra 3 over tab 2 vich has 1 ghz with 4430 chipsets .only if u cam compromise gsm and back cam,but how often we use bak cam.il advise to go for gooogle nexus 7 cellular.both r running jelly beans.in the end it depends on ur usebility prefrences.but nexus 7 is a great mixture of best hardware and software.

  • Tab 2 or nexus 7 plz advise ASAP fb name neil manna

  • When you examine the specifications, capabilities, and build quality... Yes, there is a marked difference between a Nexus 7 and an Ainos Flame. The Ainos flame tablet cannot run most online streaming video services, for example, due to lacking the hardware codecs. It also has lower specifications, and a more shoddy build quality. Also, it has very little onboard storage (as suggested by the SD slot). The Nexus 7 is well worth the extra $40.

  • Is there an availabke sim card slot for asus nexus 7??..i mean is it still compatible if we opt to use our 3g on this device just like on a normal phone,say samsung galaxy note??

  • Is there an availabke sim card slot for asus nexus 7??..i mean is it still compatible if we opt to use our 3g on this device just like on a normal phone,say samsung galaxy note??

  • Activate the rotation. Or if you are still on 4.1, update it to 4.2.1.

  • Is Nexus 7 still available in the Philippines after the Christmas and New Year?

  • May peace be upon u all PLZZZ HELP.....i need a suggestion.is any one there who is using both nexus 7 and ainol (flame,venus).is there a marked difference bw both,or just the brand conscious psyche that compel us to buy a tab wid more price i.e nexus 7 when v can get same thing wid less price i.e ainol.actualy am planning to buy 1.i used samsung gt p100..but disapointed wen after a year its started stucking badly and other bulshits etc.and ultimately sold it.so as far my experience dis is just brand consciousness.urs opinion?

  • Thanks for the info. But sadly the Ainol tab doesn't make calls. I have the GN7 but I also want to buy another quad core tab preferably 7" which can make calls. Doesn't seem to have anything like that in the market right now.

  • Nice Tab...

  • As you can read clearly on top of the specification page it says clearly that it does not have a SIM slot so I guess you got your answer ! No you cannot use it as a mobile phone !

  • Wanna ask u sth bobz..is there a place for a sim card?? And can u install whatsapp on it?? And can u get telephone calls on it ?? Thanks in advance

  • I think what he meant was Galaxy Note 2..

  • i just bought nexus 7 at octagon sm cebu city. i got the 32gb, when i open it at play with and check the about phone in settings i found out that it has already pre installed 4.2.1 out of the box.. it's been 2 days now. i'm playing with.. i hardly notice any lag's with nexus 7. it's so smooth... i played games, so luv it.. i can never asked for more... loving my nexus 7... and battery last long.... so luv it....

  • Only about 6gb left. Yes, OTG is supported with flash drives without rooting. For external hard drives, you need to root it.

  • which galaxy?

  • Not better against galaxy

  • Yes. Agree with you. After the GN7, I also planning to buy the GN4. Cheers.

  • My chrome stops suddenly when I'm downloading an item.

  • I just got mine today 16gb model for 200 euro. Very good, super smooth, amazing screen! and of course android 4.2.1!! Real value for money!

  • it still depends on what you need/purpose, the n7 doesnt have a camera which some people would love having, but if you wont need it, go for n7.

  • I had mine for a week now, got a 32gb and its not full yet :D it's fast and smooth. :) very powerful for gaming too :)

  • hey guyz, Is a 7 inch tablet good for making documents, watching movies, gaming, etc. or is a 10 inch tablet more better??...

  • No sim card - therefore No calling facility

  • nexus 7 already released ?? there are none at indonesia,,

  • can it work with CDMA network

  • I love this tablet and the battery life is amazing. I really like 4.2.1 and no complaints about build quality unlike some of the horror stories I've heard. The determining factor for buying this tablet over the other contenders was the in-hand feel in which the Nexus won hands down due to the width. Dead Trigger also looks amazing on this thing!

  • Can one use an USB 3G Adapter?

  • yes every nexus 7 variant is having bluetooth

  • @meena u can do everything in this tablet except the calling or sim features as u are not having any sim availability in this tablet.

  • All Nexus 7 with 32gb has bluetooth?

  • Is Nexus 7's keyboard accessory also available in the Philippines with or without Bluetooth wireless? Anyone?

  • in this tab, can we able to view online videos on web?

  • hi guys does this tab support external USB modem for internet access ? please tell me...

  • N7 will be my first tablet. Just ordered it and will be arrived in front of my door next week. It's kinda hard to get N7 in this part of the world, or the 3G model-hopeless! the wifi version is the only available in the online local store currently - thou I do really want to have the 3G version. So, a solution to get net access at any time any place: get a mifi. :) a decent mifi with dual mode GSM/CDMA option even better! And yeah, if you want to make call or text or take photo you don't have to buy a tablet. Get a phone and camera instead.

  • Of course you should get the GN7. You will never regret it. Proud owner here. I am waiting for the Google Nexus 4 as well.

  • it depends on what u nid. if you need power go for n7. if u need cam go for gTab.

  • does this tab have calling facility? does it support sim card atleast for 3G net service?

  • Aside from phone call functionality, U shall adopt Nexus 7.

  • It now has 4.2.1 available.

  • What should i get Asus Google Nexus 7 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3110?

  • yes.

  • Yes what can you get for the same price class thats this awesome except for a Kindle Fire

  • Love the device... This device is actually what changed my mind about Android. As a developer, I *will* indeed want to build custom ROM for it some time in the future... But for now, I'm overjoyed with pure Android delivered with this device out of the box.

  • Is this product is worth for that price

  • On my Lumia, notified that when tethering 3G connection it's will drainage U'r battery (can't find similar notification on my SGSIII). IMO handset and/or battery will be hotter and damaged faster. I think it's OK to tether it for a little while; for a longer use my advice is using cheap portable router (like as TP Link TL-MR3040) if U already hv a 3G dongle.

  • Some months ago sum1 talked about it. One of them said that he'll try to make it work. I guess it's not easy; as modem need a correct driver to work. Despite of your idea, will U sacrifice your battery lifetime? As based on my experience, flash disk made my N7 batt runout rather quickly. I believe USB modem will use more mAh.

  • how much wAS it ?

  • I don't know your answer but I know a general solution for connect non-3G tabs to 3G internet : turn your android phone into a wifi-hotspot and connect to it with your pad. always you will have 3G.

  • Congrats! Don't forget to buy USB powered adapter first to connect your external devices. Is it jst my exp, but why my N7 batt drained quickly when a USB flash device attached (using Corsair Voyager USB3.0 32GiB):S

  • I love my nexus 7.. Using for a week, its great :-) I am planning to buy usb on the go to connect external drives like flash drive,card readers,etc.. Also planning to connect ps3 controller to this :-) I bought mine at villman sm north philippines..16gb only

  • Does anybody know if this tablet can be used with a 3G USB to surf the internet as I read its specs and learnt it has a USB slot? Thanks!

  • Electroworld in park square and avant in greenbelt 3... Both in makati...

  • I bought nexus 7 mainly for pdf viewing. When i tried to read a doc from portrait to landscape, the doc doesn't rotate. I thought the gyro is supposed to do this? Or is it not a feature of this product?

  • When is the 3G-enabled Nexus 7 available in the Philippines? Anyone?

  • I have never commented on anything before but thought I would this time. I have the 32 gig 3g version. I have had this for a couple of weeks now and can't believe how handy this thing is. I am semi-retired and don't leave the house without this tablet. I'm not a phone person so I can get by with an app or two to keep me in contact if need be. My experience was great, ordered the tablet from Google, had it in 5 days and it arrived in perfect shape ready to go. I'm not one to say what I have is better than what you have, but this tablet is just amazing, if you're thinking about a tablet this size, get it, you won't regret it.

  • you can also check in PCHUB and Kimstore

  • i saw a 32gb wifi unit at octagon, try to see it there...

  • Is Nexus 7 now powered by 4.2 or 4.2.1 with bugs fix?

  • Is anyone where can I buy a Nexus 7 in the Philippines aside from VillMan?

  • Been using my nexus 7 for 5 days now and its great! So smooth, fast and very good resolution. The only problem is it lacks basic apps like, camera, notes, and the like. Good thing google play store has lots of free apps. :D

  • because it has better chipset and extended effects on tegra which ios users wish a lot of getting it , hd resultion , android is far better , same apps, way cheaper!

  • of course nexus 7 is the best!

  • Hi gamer, u should buy a pc with a high end graphic card for play games.

  • N7 is almost 1/2 of the price of ipad mini! Which is better? you tell me.

  • you are not alone amigo, same here in Malaysia. All rip off here.

  • u r sure? good luck then rich man.

  • first, N7 cheaper, second N7 cpu better, 3rd, ipad mini no GPS, want to hear more..?

  • Tried the iPad mini, and the screen is pixelated when looking at smaller text on web pages, to a point where it just isn't pleasant to use. The nexus 7 with its higher resolution is a much nicer place to be when surfing. Also, the iPad I tried, seemed very hit-and-miss when trying to tap on smaller buttons on websites.

  • Keep using all these android devices!!! Later on you will realize that it too cumbersome to keep them because google keeps upgrading there OS.. And time will come that you can no longer use your nexus because it will not be compatible with the current OS come the next 2 years.. Not like apple where you can keep using your device up until the device breaks which would happen at a minimum of 5 years...and they have a lot of app. support. Been using apple devices for a long time and i can say that the price is well past worth it.

  • Nexus 7 16GB is for Rs 20000 in India...available at Chroma... If you get it from Ebay, You will get 32GB for that price with International Warranty...

  • Hi zoka. Could u please explain more? Why do u say ur friend's nexus is better than ur iPad mini ? Tell me please

  • you shuld buy google nexus!!!it is just better device..i have ipad mini and my friends nexus 7 is much better!!! and it is cheaper!!!

  • Excuse me sir, why the duck you should choose ipad mini? Has less ram, costs more, and many other minuses.

  • ipad mini even lame than this nexus 7

  • yeah google nexus is excellent than ipad mini.. it's an downgrade version of ipad. Major drawbacks of ipad mini are- -low pixel density -no flash. Nexus also do have a major draw back with no calling option.

  • How long Nexus7 users here take to recharge ur tablet?Mine quite long,more than 4 hours!!

  • Nexus 7 is awesome!

  • my suggestion is a ipad mini

  • Hi. I wanna buy a tablet but I don't know which one to buy between iPad mini and nexus 7. Could u please help ? I know nexus hardwares r better ( CPU,GPU) but my cellphone is android device and I might wanna test something new. Help me

  • nexus 7 is superior in more ways than 1

  • nexus 7 16gb wifi model is available in google play store uk for 159 pounds... is nexus 7 better than samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch one?is it better overall and for gaming? can anyone please help?

  • There is now an HSPA+ version, but is it really worth the extra $50? You can turn a smartphone into a Wi-Fi access point and surf the Web through that. Plus, many smartphones use LTE connectivity, so it would be much faster to use them as access points to surf the Web.

  • Why would you possibly need an extra 64gb if you buy the 32gb version? You can use dropbox-like services through the Wi-Fi connection, and the on board memory is more than enough. (I have 3 seasons of Breaking Bad on my 16gb Samsung Galaxy S II) . Remember that it is a tablet. You will mainly use it when you're not at home, and when you're at home you can set up a WLAN network that allows you to access everything on your computer hard drive via local Wi-Fi. This tablet is all about providing the bare necessities for a great experience at a fraction of the cost of highly overpriced tablets like the iPad mini.

  • Just download a different Web browser (like Dolphin Browser) that supports plug-ins. Then download Adobe Flash 11 from the Play store. Unfortunately it will be a while before html5 will completely replace Adobe Flash. On the positive side, Flash is a lot better than it used to be.

  • It is already in South Africa. I saw the 32gb version at Incredible Connection for R3500.

  • No, bro!

  • Yes and yes, although you'll have to find the we chat APK file yourself.

  • Yes and its great... Playing 1080p movies rocks on this device...

  • Can we use whats app in ths tablet...and can v play 1080p movies??..pls giv me quick reply..

  • do we know the SAR level of this tablet?

  • yeah right apple fan boy!!!!!! most high graphic sites run flash contents!!!

  • Right, compare to ipad mini, ipad mini buyers look like xxxxx.

  • Like sd slot? Go to buy a tablet with sd slots, simple.

  • A gamer? Tablet? R u serious?

  • LOL read it "This is not a GSM device, it will not work on any GSM network worldwide." its a tablet, noob

  • supports psp and ps2 games with playstation emulator

  • In electroworld in park square 1 in makati... i got mine last tuesday... wifi 32 gig for 14k... its a beast of a tablet and running android 4.2...

  • Who on earth still uses flash? If you can't do Xmas shopping without flash, you're doing something wrong. Of course you could always buy a tablet that accepts flash, and have half the battery life with a thousand security risks - up to you though...

  • will Nexus 7 work in india if i buy from USA.does it work in any gsm network of india

  • it is already available on all villman branches.i have been to their megamall branch and they have stocks there.only they said they run out-of-stock because many are buying.

  • yup.google nexus 7 doesn't cost that much. the newly-released nexus 7 32 gb costs ony P13,9999.00 just the price of an earlier 16gb.i have read the reviews for this so am planning to buy next month.

  • Yes, it plays android apps.

  • Compared right next to my moms ipad, autobrightness seems to be set dimmer. Max brightness slightly dimmer too. However I find the settings bright enough for me normally, Only issues is in direct sunlight

  • are you serious????????? its a nexus... by google, do the math

  • Does it support Android games like, Fruit ninja and Angry birds?

  • how about the brightness, sumeone told that the display is not bright enough...

  • when will it be available in india...?

  • I live in ethiopia and From my experiance nexus7 is good tablet but it could have been bater if it has sim card and sd support and also if the wallpaper could change the menu background.plus google play book,play movie,and other best application are not available in ethiopia this actually suck insted ipad is best choice.

  • Yeehaa... got it today. It is so smooth and fast. There is a reason why GN7 is selling like hotcakes. Its a beauty and its also a beast. At the moment I don`t have any complain. Planning to buy the Google Nexus 4 as well. I guess it all runs in the Nexus family. Ha.. ha..

  • is the tablet good in battery back up ?

  • before I bought it on mid-March 2013

  • I don't think that Nexus 7 in the Phil. will get a low price.

  • The 1.2mp camera is for web cam duh

  • it is good in gaming. tegrazone games.

  • Officially asus will sell nexus 7 32GB in indonesia for $299. The lazada confirm the update product spec to 32GB with same price

  • I just purchased mine last month and do love it, until today. Christmas shopping online is impossible. I can,t open pictures or videos of products, because I have to download adobe - flash player and nexus 7 does not support adobe downloads. Really bummed about this.

  • Good news to all pinoys out there, ASUS has officially released the 32GB nexus 7 here in the philippines for 14k php, thats a very good deal. I believe it is now available in all ASUS partner stores like electroworld, villman, etc.

  • Wait, Is Nexus 7 32GB Wi-Fi only now available on ASUS Philippines authorized dealers?

  • AFAIK 3G version will be released in the first week of December here in the philippines. If you can no longer wait, buy a gmate. It works just fine. Just got my Nexus 7 16gb at Game Extreme (Glorietta 3) and used my old Gmate+ it works great :)

  • i like the specifications of this device!! too good wiz the Quad Core and GPU!! but the camera wiz 1.2mp, wiLL not giVe a better experience than the new SONY XPERIA TABLET S!!

  • It's not 16GB, it's 32GB in official by ASUS Philippines to be sold in local market. I wish to buy Nexus 7 32GB Wi-Fi only because 3G version is expensive. Where can I find Nexus 7 32GB here in the Philippines?

  • um... the price is totally different. they wanted to make a low cost tablet.
