Asus Google Nexus 7 (2013) - User Reviews

  • Mine just fell 2m and smashed the screen. Don't judge! I am sorely tempted to replace the screen, as it is a straightforward job and this excellent tool was otherwise still rocking after more than five years. The USB port had stopped working in 2019 and I couldn't find the fault, but luckily it has wireless charging, so on we marched. When the port stopped I panicked and checked the Kindle Fire 7. Despite its age, the N7 remains the better machine.

  • A gem device which can be used for working on the cloud given with such a great resolution and still up to standard until this year.

  • Super and the only tablet (wi-fi version) for Ubuntu Touch. Given the age of the device, it's a very good piece of technology. Definitely worth the price (especially after so many years since the premiere).

  • Using it for 4.5 years and I have no problems with it. It's awesome.

  • I thought the screen was 720p all this time, guess I'm wrong

  • No

  • Wow. After 4 years, I'm still using and liking my Asus Nexus 7 (2013). It self-upgraded to Android Marshmallow 6. I also own a newer Samsung Tab 10" and 7" - But Nexus has a sharper image, better sound, and it seemes to run a little faster than my Samsung.

  • Same issue with touch. Fixed by opening the back cover then reset and make sure the flat cables are firmly fitted. You may put some tapes to hold the cables firmly.

  • Been great to work with, great pic, fast, still running strong after 4yrs! Great Xmas gift from my family, can't say anything bad, except no sd slot, still have plenty of room so really not that big of deal :)

  • Same here - 5 years without problems. Screen is still outstanding - pixel density equal to iPhone 6. Small enough to hold in one hand or slip in a jacket pocket.

  • it is a nice tablet. I have been using for a year and half No no brokage . very smart. I support the manufacturer

  • Yep, still running this puppy as a daily driver nearly five years later. Great tablet. Sloppy fit on the USB charging port now, but otherwise no complaints.

  • 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

  • Posting this in 2018 and have to say that this is one of the (if not THE) best tablets i've seen, sure it has it's flaws but only if you're a nitpicker. Installed Lineage OS 14.1 (Nougat 7.1.2) & enjoying a nice piece of hardware. Thanks ASUS!!

  • It's 2018 and this tablet is still in use. I flashed the latest lineage firmware and root booster and it became snappy and o get back the security updates as soon as they are released from Google.

  • Im still using this tablet over 4years old and everything of this part as still ok, battery life still good 100%. So far software ok run with os 6.0.1 . And all of aplication is still good working :) THANKS TO ASUS FOR BUILD THIS TABLET

  • Yoy will see the triangel saying 3G or 4G on the top right corner A 4G without a sim card inserted ays "No SIM Card" message when booted at the top left corner

  • still using mine, if you want to maximize its potential, stay on android 4.4.4 seach google for custom rom, i'm using Android omni, still kicks others tablet/phone's as$! haha

  • How can I tell the WiFi version from the 4G version?

  • i had the same issue, try hard knock the device from the back, it will make it work :) mine did :)

  • Mine does that sometimes when the battery is totally used up. I plug it in to my laptop via usb port and it will reboot from there. May need to charge for a few minutes first.

  • Mine is frozen on the google screen and won't reboot by pressing power button and volume down button. Was working fine then went frozen . Tempted to try and open it up. Can't do anything else with it.

  • How do you repace it?

  • My Nexus 7- 2013 just went black and won't reboot. This is my second Nexus 7, had a 2012 and it became a brick also. About ready to forget Nexus. Any suggest?

  • Is it tablet have fast charge????

  • I am using one and I'm not having any problem with phantom 4pro

  • Thx

  • You will need to pry it open. In your book, even the screen would be replaceable...

  • This phone is in DJI phantom 4 list as been compatible with their drones but after buying one the video is breaking up and lagging ,far too slow ! Far too slow to be used with drones, my old Samsung Galaxy 4 works perfect with the drone

  • It would make sense for the LTE version to have vibration, but mine (no LTE) does not.

  • when I'm reading the specs I also notice it says the battery is not removed that is not true it is removable and replaceable

  • The Nexus 7 tablet does not have vibration nor does the second generation tablet

  • All off the sudden after update the tab used to get heated and later it got hanged, so I tried restarting it, But it was stuck at Google logo, I have tries to reset/wipe data, but that didn't worked out. Later I took it to service center, they said they could not solve that issue, and the only solution is to get the board replaced. Google and Asus are only responsible of pushing that update with bugs that caused this problem.

  • Dearest ones.Is it not amazing that this Asus Made google supported tablet made in 2013 still gets constant updates and upgrades with. $125 price now ,while now in 2017 some models of alias brands start with the kitkat and ends with kitkat!!!?It must be marshmallow nowadays!!Nevertheless its complete review still useful!!Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.

  • 1 yr. user report: Does everything I want it to do and more. Bought on sale for about 1/3 list price, what a deal! I don't waste time with games on this unit. I have a PC for that. So no issues with touch sensitivity in games. Good camera, fantastic screen, decent storage. A 3 yr. old design that still holds up well. Two thumbs up!

  • not good enough, what the high specs do if the touch screen sensor issue can't fix by ASUS. yes, It is gold into our eyes the superb specs of this device, but for me a pro player of high end games we need accuracy of controlling and graphics. this unit touch screen going crazy while you're using it. don't if you haven't notice it yet. try to play a big boys games first person games, second, third, whatever.. don't play baby games you will not going to notice it.

  • I have the same issue on touch screen sensors, while playing my games WWR & world of tanks blitz, it rotates like crazy.. I've seen this issue on the other review site that this unit has an internal issue on touch screen sensor. Now it bothers me too much because I mostly lose to competition. So compare it to a lower specs apple tab, man.. I can't believe on my findings, apple still the best on games and graphics and accuracy on touch screen.

  • I am now using my unit for a year, first 3 months with full upgrade firmware not found any issue. First day I both this i played my favorite games WWR & world of tanks blitz, i notice its touch sensor is malfunctioning. So i thought it was in firmware upgrade because i searched it too how to fix it. Now using this unit for a year I still experiencing this annoying malfunctioning touch screen like it rotate like crazy.. I've done a hard reset, check all its configuration and settings, all are ok no fault found. Until I found on the reviews long ago that this unit someone experienced that it malfunctioning touch screen sensor issue in ASUS NEXUS 7 2013 cellular & wifi. well it sucks for me because I believed in this device. recommendation: DO NOT BUY THIS. Get the branded one, Apple, Samsung, LG, Lenovo

  • Lovely tablet......Still holds its own even with the latest tablets

  • Definitely one of the best tablet ever made. After three years, his performances are still top, fast as hell, excellent battery, a beautiful display of warm colors and excellent resolution...

  • I had the same issue. got me a small external battery pack/ jump starter

  • the best tablet ever made, glorious screen, awesome battery life, blazing fast performance even by today's standards. running DU 6.01 + elementalx kernel, 3 years later it's still a premium unbeatable tablet

  • Does anyone have an issue with this tablet, where it turns on fine, but when you turn it off, and then try to turn it on again, it doesn't start up? Have to plug into wall charger then press Power button to get it to start. Can't always do that when your out and about.

  • The SOC is too slow for today's apps.

  • lol! This tablet hasn't existed for 5 years

  • Excellent tablet.......still holds its own, even by today's standards. Just goes to show the quality.

  • mine also nexus 7 works well. i am using it since 5 years .no damage .but little slow.it is awsome

  • My tablet with this model is 3yrs. old. Still works great. Sometimes touch sensor goes crazy but it you will just have to press power button once. It is a 3yrs old tablet after all. All negative comments I think are liars

  • Touch is not working now. Terrible device for such a big amoutn of money.

  • The touch completely failed on mine. Using it with a mouse. #ThugLife

  • Device is nice but the sensors are terrible and especially the accelerometer. The touch screen also sometimes temporarily stops working until you tap the back or reboot.

  • how your experience on marshmallow using web browser and doing games.. does it lag alot? overheating? tnx

  • just bought one from lazada ph for $100 brand new.. hope its worth it:)

  • Awesome tablet using from last three years....brilliant performance with high quality...features latest android always till Android nougat....

  • Sounds like you may have had a dud. I've used two of the 2013 models (one personal, one for work) and never had any issues. Though, I've also seen a 2012 that worked great and another one that was super slow and glitchy.

  • for overheating and other problems, flash cyanogenmod 13. check download cyanogenmo.org/ flo or deb

  • Worst tablet ever. Glitching from day one, unexpectedly reloading by itself, freezing even you only surfing internet.

  • it's been 3days since i updated my nexus... everytime i play it becomes hot and worst.it feels like i t will explode in anytime. twice than normal. 37degrees is normal. mine have 60-70degrees while playing games. it's so annoying thats why i'm waiting for the next mini update.please help me. im using my tab for 3mos. already

  • It is over 3 years old, usually you only get update if you lucky for 2 years.

  • Why is it not listed for Android 7 (Nougat) ?

  • yes you could use your external USB/Hardrive if Lollipop or higher version installed on any android device

  • yes

  • Yes, it does.

  • can i use external hard drive in this tab

  • Yes

  • Does it have a microphone?

  • While Qualcomm named the CPU used on the nexus 7 2013 as Snapdragon S4 Pro, in reality is the APQ8064T, the same CPU used on the Galaxy S4 9505, they just downclocked it to 1.50GHz to match the specs of the previous Snapdragon S4 based on the APQ8064 used on the Nexus 4. The APQ8064T has a revised Krait architecture which allows slightly better INT performance and considerable FPU performance gains compared to the APQ8064.

  • I forgot password for my Asus Nexus iPad. Pl let me know how to recover pass word

  • Yes, you need an otg câble and some software (total commander and I forgot thé name'of the other)

  • Can I access my Files from an External Hard Drive in this tablet?

  • Guys, anyone of you try to charge your unit in WiFi charger? This is Qi ready.

  • Mine is working fine after upgrading it to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and another patch update happen it seems looks well. I have silicon protective case with cover and I don't have any problem. Not sure about your case, mmm.. is there any case that you drop your unit? Or expose it in magnetic metal detector?

  • Hard reset

  • Yeah i stumbled across the tap the back trick when i trying to fix mine - works a treat. doesnt seem to freeze now i have it caseless - also clear the cache frequently

  • I updated my nexus 7 2013 to 6.0.1 and it start to freeze everytime I keep it inside my bag, inside a tablet cover case or even inside my pant's pockets. Please anybody tell me why this happen, thanks.

  • I had the same issue with my nexus 2 times b4 u have to consider 1.the micro USB socket from over use become not tight with charger just when u c the led below blinking keep the charger in that position and try not to move. 2.use original charger 3.don't leave it to be fully uncharged to let u know if it charge or not when the device is on.

  • it is a very stupid solution, but while turning it on, tap the back of your tablet with your palm very frequently. trust me It works :D

  • Thank you chintoo. it's ok. It updated successfully to lollipop. And I also upgraded my unit to Marshmallow 6.0.1 which is now available in auto update in settings. so far all software and hardware works fine. Overall upgrade test and experience from Jelly Bean to Marshmallow 6.0.1: Jelly Bean (4.1–4.3.1) - no issue KitKat (4.4.4) - no issue Lollipop (5.0–5.1.1) - no issue Marshmallow (6.0–6.0.1) - no issue but please take note that i have NO application install to my unit and only 1 high-end game and it installed from google play and not custom install(.apk). Hope this findings helps.

  • You can try installing Cyanogen mod 12.1, if you want to use a custom ROM based on Android Lollipop 5.1. Yes, you will have to wait until Android releases 6.0 for your device.

  • You can try to unlock it by using your Google password. Do reply to this post if this helps.

  • Guys, I updated my unit to last version of KitKat 4.4.4 so far no issue. Now I am downloading the Lollipop 5.0, but i am hesitating to install it because I am reading some user has a bad experience in Lollipop. I am actually planning to go forward to Marshmallow that is why I am updating my OS but I am hearing that there is no Marshmallow yet auto update in Nexus settings. I mean to be able to update your unit in Marshmallow you need to manual install it which is I hate doing it. Is this true? Thanks!

  • @Aleselva, I also encounter to my unit on part of "Trying to turn the unit on, but unfortunately its still black and only behavior unit showing is a white LED light below blinking". Can you please try to charge your unit for about 1 hour using its original charger, then after 1 hour, try to power-on the device while its still charging. But if you already done this part, have you tried to replace your charger at least branded charger (Samsung, apple, etc.) and not just cheap charger. Because cheap charger don't have auto power-cut when unit is in full battery charged. I am sorry for asking too much but who knows maybe this works. :) Let me know what is the status after this. Thanks!

  • @anonymous, 4hours in playing games and I still have 11%. That's all I observed. Btw, my settings are 30% on brightness, 50% Volume. Also consider this, that I don't have any application downloaded. Only my 1 High-end game. Hope this helps. Thanks!

  • how long its battery last from full charge to discharge when you are playing games straight'

  • I have had a Nexus 7 for many years. My first one fell and the screen broke. I bought a new refurbished one that has been working fine for about 1 1/2 yrs. Today, it was out of battery, I set it to charge and now it doesn't want to turn on. I press the on/off button for a few seconds, a black screen that says Google and a lock comes up. I try to unlock the lock by swiping it but no luck, a white led light comes up and then the screen goes into stand by mode. What can I do? How can I turn it on? How can I unlock the lock?

  • ok, based on the previous review about updating the OS, From Jelly Bean to; KitKat (4.4–4.4.4, 4.4W–4.4W.2) Lollipop (5.0–5.1.1) Marshmallow (6.0–6.0.1) some are good and negative feedback. I guest i'll stay in Jelly Bean for now. Because, I am not encountering any problem or issues in battery life, GPS, or any sensors. :) For Jelly Bean feedback from me, it is good, battery life is good, other features are functioning well. Sounds is good. I got 1 heavy graphics game (World Of Tanks Blitz) and 1 medium graphics game (Super Robot Wars). :)

  • I am now, thinking to upgrade this unit (ASUS NEXUS 7 2nd gen 16GB wi-fi) from Jelly bean to KitKat. Any comments about this part? Is it worth it to upgrade to KitKat? Any issues? thanks!

  • its ok now, I updated my google playstore.

  • Side loading the official from isn't the issue - there have been well documented issues regarding bootloops if you disable google apps. Marshmallow will be the last major update it receives.

  • Have u tried downloading apks?

  • Guys, My ASUS NEXUS 7 2nd gen 16gb wifi, can't install some games in google store. error message: "Your Device is not compatible to this version".. any solutions?

  • well, now it turned on. lucky me. :) but I didn't check carefully what I've ordered.. I thought this is Wi-Fi + Cellular. It's only Wi-Fi.. now my problem is, how can I sneak this in to my office where Wi-Fi tablet is prohibited. Only WiFi + cellular are allowed. hu-hu-hu. I will test now my games World Of Tanks Blitz! and Super Robot Wars (GUNDAM)! YooHooo!

  • Today I got my ordered ASUS NEXUS 7" 16GB Wi-Fi, first, excited, 2nd, worried. Unit is not powering on even I press the power button more than 1minute. So what I did is, I plugged in the charger to the unit and saw a blinking white LED on top of the micro UBS port. It blinks 3-4 times then nothing.. I tried to power it on and do the same procedure unfortunately it still not turning on. Now, I am searching for other user opinion about this.. Right now I am charging my unit for about 30 minutes.. I will wait till it gets 60 minutes.. hopefully it turn on.. :S

  • Why do you side-load any newer Android OS? I bought my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet new in the box from a local retailer. I have gotten every single Android update including Marshmallow 6.0 + the latest update which came out before Christmas which is Marshmallow 6.1. You should be getting these updates right from Google since your using an official device. People are completely wrong about this equipment not being able to run the latest Android OS Updates as Google claims the 2013 version of the Nexus 7 will accept their OS Updates for several more year's and maybe even longer. I would contact Google of you continue to have to sideload updates. Everything works perfectly fine for me, running Marshmallow 6.1.

  • When bought (Nexus 7 II 16GB WiFi), I was happy with it. But after some time, accelerometer and gyroscope passed away and later on it exited entirely (fortunately data backuped). Now I moved to cheaper K007 and all's fine so far (about half a year).

  • Since flashing to Marshmallow I also have rotation issues, also had to reset it a couple of times due to bootloop - stuck on logo/app optimisation. Its an old tablet now - these new updates are no longer designed for these models!

  • I had to enter recovery mode, clear the cache and factory reset mine... I was NOT impressed as I lost all of my data and had to re-install and configure all of my apps again. It seems there's a bug in that if you have disabled ANY Google apps prior to the update, you'll end up stuck in a boot loop.

  • how? I got bricked at the time of OTA update. at the time of OPTIMAZATION and it was 68 MB. Now its dead.

  • Now fully updated my N72013 to 6.0.1; I am totally proud and fond of this 'pretty young thing'...

  • My Nexus 7 (2013) is LTE-enabled but it is for broadband data only, so I can't make calls in the same way as a cell phone. I do, however, call people's phones using the Skype app and that is just as good. I think you can do that with Google Hangouts. too.

  • Today my nexus 7c 32gb got 6.0.1 update

  • Alejo 007: Yes. Android 6.0.0 installed on my son's Nexus 7 (2013) 32 Gb version, bought it about 2,5 yrs ago. Nexus is simply a great device.

  • Can nexus 7 2013 update to android M or 6.0 ?

  • Can we call with nexus 7. Micro sim written in specs Plz clarify

  • *Best Battery Life device ever!!* Im getting up to 9hr on screen battery life from 100% to 20%! Still running CM11(Kitkat) and after 2 years usage battery life is still rocking solid!

  • It has been working excellent for the last 2 years and then the battery just died!

  • I wish Google didn't stop making the Nexus 7 line, it's probably the best tablet in the market. Perfect size for 2 hazded gaming, perfect size for reading, and web surfing. I think 7 inches is the sweet spot when it comes to tablets. I just hope Google makes a 2016 edition with a 4k screen and snapdragon 820 processor, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

  • Great piece of kit, have it 2 years and hasn't failed me! I also game on it.

  • The same thing happened with me. Solution- just flash the factory image again

  • 6.0 Marshmallow update crashed my tablet. Now it stays frozen on the Google logo during boot up. Contacted Asus, was told it would cost $201.75 just for them to look at it. Only had it 2 years and 3 months, very disappointed! >:/

  • Got my update 6.0 via OTA, WOW, the battery draining problem is gone :-), the tablet is faster

  • 6.0 for two days... Impressive battery improvement.

  • Dank marshmallow tho... I have this and it is amazing! Only complaint would be that the camera apps are a bit slow to load (camera takes about 2-3 seconds)

  • i got 6.0 update by OTA 3 days ago

  • Same :-(

  • Why flash it if Google announced that the nexus 7 will be getting android 6.0 marshmallow as well as the nexus 6 and 5

  • flash it to 6.0 there is major battery improvements

  • Does anyone else have rotation problem? Also does anyone else feel their nexus taking while to charge..

  • I use a Nexus 7 for Air Nav Pro in flight, the only problem is the battery life when using GPS and air maps. The battery life is then reduced to three hours. I have a plug in two amp battery pack which extends the life of the battery to five hours but both units get very warm, the screen resolution is A 1 any ideas ?

  • You won't get an OTA update. You have to install it manually by downloading the rom from android developer's website.

  • I flashed it. Not OTA. It runs like a machamp!!! 😁

  • I haven't got it yet.

  • Flash it. It has beautiful performance.

  • Anyone got Marshmallow OTA update?

  • bhai battery backup very very good

  • I mean "should have been great if there were no battery issues".

  • Me, me, me.. But i think even before 5.1.1, i already experienced it

  • I bought mine last march 2014. Its system is up to date. But now, when it is fully charged, it can only run for about 4 hrs even on moderate usage (i.e. brightness below 50%, low volume, etc.) This tablet is great if not for its battery performance... So frustrating...

  • Mine is already 5.1.1 but still having charging/draining problems. What could be tbe problem? Software? Hardware?

  • I use my Nexus 7 with air map and Gps in my aeroplane, it works very well, however the battery life on GPS and map is around three hours, I have tried various chargers ie, 2 1/2 amp cigar lighter usb ect nothing seems to make a difference, any suggestions ?

  • Its a notification light.

  • what does the white light means? Thanks, Lex

  • Yes the 32 gb 2013 costs about 100 bucks Canadian more.

  • Can you use this tablet as a cellphone (gsm, 3g), talking, browsing, receiving sms?

  • It's wrong. It's the S4 Pro.

  • I there any big difference between Google nexus 7 2013 (Wifi+32GB) and Google nexus 7 2013(WiFi+16GB).As on flipkart price of Google nexus 7 2013 (Wifi+32GB)=15999 and Google nexus 7 2013(WiFi+16GB)=15889 ?????

  • According to Cpu-Z, the processor is a Snapdragon 600, upto 1.5GHz.

  • Great Tab. Bought a used one last week and I wish I had bought a nexus 7 earlier. I used to think a 7" tab was too small but it is actually quite ok.

  • for the people who have charging/drainig problems draining with lollipop: the problem is fixt verry well in version 5.1 charging: i had a cabel from samsung galaxys s4 and it works waaayyyyy beter than the one you get = dubbel as fast (tested)

  • Got my n7 5.1 from Ebay, battery draining really fast, charged since 07:00 with 100%, at 13:00 only 28% left of the battery, just downgrade to 4.4.4 last night, charged with 68% and right now, after playing a lot, 2 videocall from Google Hangouts and i still have 25% of the battery and playing Shadow Fight 2. :-), if you wish to downgrade just follow this tutorial

  • I was updated to Android 5.1.1 Since then WiFi has failed to connect. Is this a hardware problem or an OS problem. The WiFi detects my router but will progress No Further! If i do a factory reset will I lose all my installed aps and data? AlexAB

  • 5.1.1. Touch issues while lying flat. Anybody has the same shit??

  • i just recently updated to android lollipop 5.1.1 with my nexus 7 2013 via OTA.. the update just fix some bugs and only sized 20mb.. i use my nexus for years and i didnt seen any problem even my battery is good after years.. i only play nba2k15 and it runs well and playable, others apps works great too without force closing.. its a great device and always get updated firmware and android version on 2 years contract.. but i heard that they were stop making nexus 7 2013.. i hope that google create more device like this with other selected manufacturer or asus.. just take care of its battery and always close all recent apps that are not in use. Tegra sucks.. i also have nexus 7 2012. it lags like hell after months to years of using it. go for qualcomm and adreno :)

  • Smart Solution for shutdown and Google logo hang! Shut it down and power it on while it is stuck at google logo take a napkin and start cleaning backside of nexus 7, exert a light pressure while rubbing and there are 98% chances it will start up!I have been having boot up logo for last two months what I did, completely erase all data files etc and start afresfh. It will lower chance of hanging and even if you still get Google Logo Stuck up simple use some tissue paper napkin and while it is stuck at logo start rubbing and cleaning backside! It may sound absurd but I found this the only solution so far. If it works let others know!

  • Updated my Nexus7 (2013) from 5.0.2 to 5.2 three days ago. Ran perfectly. Today unexpected shutdown. Restart attempts show Google logo, nothing else. Love the device - Lollipop is a Loser.

  • Since the recent update, my nexus kept turning off on occasion. Decided to try and do a factory reset. The device stays stuck on the "erasing data" screen, and no solution from google. i could hand it on the wall now maybe as a piece of art :/

  • I got 5.1. It works perfectly. But there is not much difference between the new one and the old one.

  • After hearing all the reports of bricked devices after updating I was nervous as heck when I saw the notification to update to 5.1 but I took a chance and I've successfuly updated to 5.1

  • yaaa very nice in this model.

  • Anyone upgraded to 5.1 ? Plz tell us about it n should I upgrade to it ?

  • Nexus (ASUS manufactured) models stuck on Google screen Nexus 7 3G 32GB 2012 Model My device is working fine till yesterday (19th April 2015) from the date of purchase (3rd October 2013). I am using this device for around 18 months without any issues. Recently (one week before) I have updated it to Android 5.1. Yesterday (19th April 2015) afternoon I have plugged in for charging the device. After hours while removing it from the charger I have noticed that it is in nexus logo screen. I thought that the device would have restarted, so i have kept it for a while. After 2 to 3 hours it is still in nexus logo screen without any change. I have switched off the device and switched on. Then the device is not booting after Google & nexus logo screen. I have tried switch off and switch on for 4 to 5 times but there is no progress. Device is not booting after Google & nexus logo screen. Today (20th April 2015) morning, I have contacted ASUS Customer support team; they have asked me to do the wipe data/factory reset. After doing the wipe data/factory reset, the device is behaving wired like switching on, Google logo screen comes and switching off repeatedly (rebooting again and again but not going beyond Google logo screen). Then I have taken my device to ASUS service center, registered the issue and raised an RMA. Now I am waiting for the repair cost quotation from ASUS service center. Today (20th April 2015) evening, I have checked in Google to know how many devices are affected with the same issue and shocked that most of the Nexus 7 devices are affected. Agitated users have also taken to Twitter to post complains about their bricked Nexus devices with the hashtag - #NEXUS7BRICKED Please post these issues in various media until Google or ASUS is responding to this issue and fixing the affected device with free of cost.

  • I want to find out this asus google nexus 7 it is. Compare to tab s, it has great multitasking and nvidia shield, its all about gaming processor. Now im glad to be an android fan just have need to have experience on the bezel and screen to be my affordable and excitement. I havent decide yet about smartphone but between, 3 tablets that are the best can be get. I dont which one to choose. But i hope I just need sturdy kind of elegance as mine multi-functional..

  • I did factory reset and still charges in 8 hours wat can I do ?? BTW when I bought it charged in 3 hours normally then it became in 8 hours suddenly

  • Mine never exceed 6 he's screen on before charge

  • Question for all folks...how much exactly do you get of on-screen time when 50% auto brightness?? Mine never exceeds 5 hrs. Is it normal. I have the WiFi version. 5.0.2

  • Battery full charge is near 3 hours. That's all.

  • U must do factory reset.... Simple.

  • Must! The latest update for N7 is 5.0.2 Lollipop. Very stable.

  • I just updates to 5.0.2 Lollipop! It is very stable and good performance. 😂😂😂

  • I updated to 5.o.2 everything is fine but the battery charges in 8 hours anyone has the same problem or can help me ??

  • Yes of cource.. Update. I have updated allready at 11/2014 and its better than ever now.

  • Its great in performance, speed ,design but it has one side down is the battery though I get about 6 he's of screen on

  • Have bought a new nexus 7 2013 should I update to lollipop or not ... please help

  • No, not yet.

  • Does anyone get 5.1 lollipop update ??

  • Correction: there is no vibration on this model.

  • Have owned the Nexus 7 for over a year now. One of the best 7" tablets out, was the absolute best for under $250 when I bought it a year ago. Runs everything no problem, display is beautiful and sturdy(has survived many falls crack-free). Android 5.0 cut into the battery life however, it lasts ~70% as long compared to KitKat. But its nice getting all the android updates before anyone else. +1 would definitely recommend

  • Yes. I have nexus 7 2013 and i rooted it with nexus root toolkit (or something like that). Watch on youtube

  • Yes

  • Best 7" tablet until now

  • could anyone be kind to tell me wether this device could be rooted? i want to use just xmod... and it can be rooted. mind giving me the link and etc pls?

  • very nice but the most affordable is samsung galaxy tab and ipad mini

  • after updating lollipop I can't play mc4 in tab

  • after updating lollipop I can not play mc4 in my mobile

  • is android 5.0.2 lollipop avilable in all countries ??

  • For web browsing, videos and games the battery life is 5-6 hours with android 5,0,2. Dipens and from the brightnes. Mine is at 60-70%.

  • Please tell me how is the battery life after getting lollipop 5.0 . My main priority is to do web browsing heavily, watching videos and some casual gaming

  • but many people who updated theirs say it sucks

  • OF course you should keep the newest version of android.

  • i ve just bought nexus 7 16 gb version and it basically comes wz 4.3 android version . should i update to lollipop version ?? plz hlp me guys

  • Quick note: The Lollipop update has been released for the Nexus 7, I just noticed the specs still state "...planned upgrade to v5.0 (Lollipop)".

  • Perhaps you should specify why you don't like the update.. I'm loving 5.0.2 on my N7, face-unlock doesn't work, but everything else is way faster and smoother than it was on 4.4.4.

  • I have recently updated the system and I must admit lollipop indeed sucks... I highly recommend anyone who is tempted to update to stick with KitKat

  • I am planning to buy Nexus 7 2013 3G..Please give me suggestion can buy this or Can i go with Huawei MediaPad X1..Please Help me which is good one... can we use whatsApp in Nexus 7....

  • You might have tried everything already, but I restored to factory settings and mine is working again. Doesn't rollback it back though. You can read how to do that if you need to.

  • Lollipop basically bricked my original Nexus 7 & my son's Nexus 4. Not sure what it will do to the 2013 Nexus 7,but I would recommend staying with Kitkat.

  • You can go to and log in using your son's Google account. The device will show its gps location on the map if the thief hasn't signed out of the account. If he has, I'm afraid you have lost your tablet!

  • Lollipop update for N7 2013 LTE is now available OTA, it's 5.0.2 version. BTW I'm from the Philippines . Currently downloading, been waiting for this for a loooong time. Hope it's worth the wait.

  • Lollipop sucks, my n7 is slower now, Kit Kat is the best OS for this tablet. You should wait until google releases 5.1 update, cause 5.0 (5.0.1 and 5.0.2 too)have a lot of bugs, ram issues and there is no much good stock android experience, all of the smoothness somewhere has gone!

  • so, it's not better than ipad mini..

  • My husband bought one of these for his our son. It was stolen from his backpack and I am wondering if there is a Gps chip in it to hopefully track it. Can anyone help me with useful information abt this specific device if any and how it works..Pleezzz.Thank you

  • can anyone who get 5.0.2 update tell us about its experience espicially the battery changes plz ??

  • Had it for a while and have lollipop it is good and useful 😺

  • can anyone who installed lollipop tell us about it like its pros & cons and if we should install it or wait till another update ????

  • Fed of Google's negligence for Lollipop update for N7 2013 LTE, installed Cyanogen Mod 12 (device code name deb). Easy Quick Steps 1) Unlock Bootloader (Nexus Root Toolkit) 2) Install Clockwork Mod (Nexus Root Toolkit) 3) Make Nandroid Backup from your new recovery for safety. 4) Download CM12 Nightly(deb) and GAPPS keep it on your device. 5) Boot into recovery, wipe cache n all 6) Install zip - first CM12 nightly (should be very quick) 7) Install zip - then Gapps 8) Reboot and done :) With CM12 - everything's working but GPS. Cellular with LTE working :)

  • Yep just install lustrious lollipop ROM. Google isn't worried about updating the N7 2013 LTE. If you want lollipop you'll need to root, twrp recovery and install the LL 5.0.1 ROM for codename deb. Also be sure to flash the "flo" 4.04 boot loader before flashing the ROM. We don't even have factory lollipop for the N7 2013 LTE in the USA. Google doesn't give a flying f***!

  • Do not install lolipop. My tablet became imposible to use, browsers crash, battery drains like crazy, it takes around 2 seconds for the screen to start, etc. Got 5.0.2 yesterday and some problems are gone, but better wait for 5.1

  • Why my nexus 7 2 16gb wifi still not yet receive Lollipop update ? stuck in 4.4.4 . UK version

  • Just install es file explorer, with it u can not only access ur usb drive etc, plus u can read/write without rooting ur device. But plz make sure to enable usb debugging in the developer section and ur good to go.

  • Hi, Any idea when the lollipop update will be coming to the LTE version..It's been too long.

  • I had the same problem, but then I installed it from factory images. Go and do this.. it's so simple :)

  • When did u get Lollipop update? I bought Nexus 7 2013 32gb wifi last month, still dint receive lollipop!! :(

  • I'm using this device from few months. This is one of the best tablets in terms of display clarity, performance and battery life. I'm on lollipop 5.0.1 recently(downloaded factory image from google developers website, and they also provided flashing instructions). The new lollipop is great as it gives additional 3 hours of battery more than previous versions and the ui os also great. I mainly got this tab to read ebooks, and it gives over 15 hours battery on moon reader, like 2 days. you could turn on battery saver to add extra hours usage(which i usually do, with brightness slightly increased). But video recording is not that great due to low frame rates, not good enough video stabilization and auto focus. no complaints about photos though.

  • I am still waiting for lollipop update for my Nexus 7 2013 LTE (Cellular) in India...any one using LTE got the update?

  • i intend to buy it this month and am worried about battery.. plz explain wat is the problem wz the battery as how long it lasts and wats ur usage ???

  • Awesome tablet. Got it since it was released, and it still works really well! It costs really little money, but it is one of the best 7" tablets. The only problems are the overheating and battery life. Overall it is worth more than its price.

  • Can this beast use as WiFi hotspot?

  • Thank You :)

  • Thank You :)

  • Thank You :)

  • I have this device already...and yas device works with cable otg without any problems :)

  • Yes it does. However you might want a custom ROM. Since the native way you won't support it out of the box you'll need some app like stickmount whereas with a custom ROM you'll be find

  • Yes, it is supported but you need to buy nexus media importer to make it works

  • Anyone, please help me ! Is the nexus 7(2013) support OTG. I want to use flash disk OTG for expand capacity. I need the answer before i buy an OTG flash disk. Thank you

  • never buy a pad/phone that doesnt have card slot and removable battery, or uses proprietary connectors and other junk. eliminate these as "options". absolutely no reason not to put standard equipment in a device except to purposely create inferior products in order to sell "superior" products. and where are cost facts labels on all products so we can decide ourselves what is moderate acceptable profit?

  • I am using it currently, it charges pretty fast with the original charger say about 2.5-3 hours max, from about 10% to 100%. And with moderate usuage,wifi on, it easily lasts me over a day. The stand by is also really good.

  • nexus 7 is better than the apple ipad air mini!!. the best tab i have ever experienced but, the problem is the battery life. it takes long time to charge, and we can use it for shorter period! the battery life should be more than 4300 mAh. other thing is the tab getting heated very soon!!!

  • the battery suck

  • It depends on your carrier.

  • is your n7 wifi??

  • I got my Lollipop update 1 week ago. after updating it. the glitch,hang, sometimes the keyboard is not showing up, need to shutdown before the keyboard is working properly again. I've been using N7 2013 for 1 year and 2 months already and i havnt experience those problem when im using kitkat os. :< so i would not suggest to update your N7 2013. i need next update!

  • what about Lollipop update for Nexus 7 2013 LTE (Cellular)? WHEN???!!! Nexus 7 2012 wi-fi allready got the 5.0.2 Lollipop update.. come on Google, you did again

  • I've already got it.

  • no it's not just you....

  • Is Android 5.0 Lollipop update available for Asus Nexus 7(2013)??

  • I recently bought Nexus 7 2013 16gig WiFi from Amazon.com. I'm using it in Singapore but I guess since I bought it from Amazon.com it'll follow the US update schedule. I still haven't received the OTA for lollipop. Is it just me? Any update when will I get it?

  • the only issue now is heating problem, the top side (front camera) becoms hot while surfing, movie watching, especially with games. this was not the issue with K.K 4.4.4 (even with mid-heavy usage)

  • after factory reset lollipop is performing a lot better, there is negligible to zero lag now,

  • Hi, I've got the latest update 5.0.1 (lollipop)... however since then, I've a problem with the keybord. in fact I have no keybord at all. Anyone have the same? And what to do in this regard? thanks in advance for your help.

  • I bought a nexus 7(2013) 32gb WiFi model 2 days back. I have a problem connecting it to my PC. It installs the driver properly but doesn't show my device. Tried updating the drivers, nothing happened. Please help anyone.... :(

  • I recently bought Nexus 7 2013 16gig WiFi from Amazon.com. I'm using it in Singapore but I guess since I bought it from Amazon.com it'll follow the US update schedule. I still haven't received the OTA for lollipop. Is it just me? Any update when will I get it?

  • HI Venky but I haven't got it yet. please advise specific procedure, if any thanks in advance

  • The Nexus 7 cannot be used as a phone unless you use apps like Viber or Skype. The purpose of the optional sim card version is mainly for data use.

  • Can I use my nexus 7 (2013) as normal phone with sim card?

  • I have just received OTA updates for 5.0.1 in Pakistan. Many issues have been resolved and the battery timings have improved, facing no issues at all. I would suggest to Clear your Cache by going to Settings > Storage > Clear apps Cache. This will help a lot.

  • After lollipop, games starting to show glitch\lagg, e.g beach buggy racing and godfire was used as benchmark. Previously both of these were lag free 100% on kitkai with ART enabled in developer option

  • mine about 3-4 hours charge and working on batter a whole day.. make sure u using the original charger..

  • How many hours charge n7?? Because may n7 charge a whole day.. Not full charge :(

  • Got 5.0.1 update today morning :)

  • I think N7(2013) is not a Gorilla Glass, because I dropped my N7 a knee-high and it breaks then started to have a more serious ghost touch problem.:( btw, I'm from Philippines.

  • Buy this one! The Samsung will lag a lot and it's not that good.

  • hwy did anybody got Lollipop update in their nexus7 bought from HongKong? Still no updates here

  • Just receive update Loli 5.0.1 in Malaysia

  • Juz received lollipop 5.0.1 update in India

  • I received the lollipop update today and friend the update is a disaste don't bother to update

  • download google now launcher

  • I just recived Android 5.0.1 update on the tablet , I am from Romania but it is not what I expected ... I am disappointed because the animations from Nexus 5 and 6 are not present on this tab , in fact a lot of animations are missing from the other Nexus devices .

  • No sign of lollypop.... Yet, All this waiting, hope its worth it.

  • i still didn't get update 5.0 india. any one got it?

  • is there any changes after lollipop update ?? espicially to battery

  • Still didn't get lollipop. Anyone? &#128533;

  • no I also have not got

  • I've got one, had it for nearly a year now and it is still going strong. I like its speed and responsiveness. Battery life is excellent it normally lasts the whole day with normal use. Movies look great, and best of all it fits in my pocket. Syncs with Chromecast for HD TV watching and takes good snapshots(although could be better with a flash) Non expandable memory is not a problem, would recommend getting the 32G instead of the 16G version though. All in all I'm very happy with it and still think its one of the best even a year later.

  • I am glad you are happy with your tablet I am also happy with it

  • Get it I have one and it's awesome

  • Get the asus 7 2013

  • guys i need your help i don't know what to buy this asus 7 2013 or the galaxy tab4"7"?

  • I have purchased Nexus 7C 2014 with bill from filipkart anybody cleared the specification. I am not found any result When I search as Nexus 7C 2014. My tab specification is similar to Nexus 7 2013 with wifi & 3 G service.

  • I prefer tab pro, I have had both, when rooting tab pro I didn't have to delete all of my stuff.

  • tahnks but tab pro 8.4 or nexus ? wat u think ??

  • I love this device. I don't use it as much as my nexus 10, but for games that work better with the device in your hands, this is unbeatable. I flashed Slimkat ROM, and have it tweaked to perfection. The wireless charging is a novelty, but prevents the usb port from wearing. I have it mounted on a tripod with a special attachment. No regrets.

  • Got android L update ota last night for my nexus 7 2013. Works well, easy to get used to.

  • It will tick all you boxes & then some. Buy it you will not be sorry

  • 500MB +/- goes to system functions right off the top. It's a 2GB tablet.

  • I had nexus 7 for only 6 months and finally with huge disappointment I scratch the touch screen I never imagine was so fragile, but now it is dead ...the top part does not work any more the button still alive, but it is very difficult to use..I ask for replace the screen ...it costs more than buy a new one. No any more nexus what a point everything so good quality but the most important thing to protect the screen it was about completely uncared. I must say I had a rubber cover but i did not help. anyone has the same experience??My friend borrow me a wacky tablet unknown, costs only 50 euro but It has more protection on the screen than nexus 7...i am so upset...any good tablet with high quality or extra screen protection thanks

  • Dear users. I have an issue. From few days my Tablet can't be charged when is swiched ON...But when I swich it OFF it becomes to charge. Can anybody tell what should I do? Is there any Setting or something. I did't do anything special.

  • Mine around 3 hours

  • Hy guys how much time nexus 7 (2013) is taking to fully charge from 5% to 100

  • hi, to all user of Asus nexus 7 2nd gen. I bought last 5months brand new Asus nexus 7 2nd gen. its work alone that's why I sell it. last month I buy brand new it's work alone also the keyboard and etc. bulshit that's the sick of Asus nexus 7 2nd gen.

  • Hi, fully charged you can last 9-10 hrs depending on websites you visit. For gaming, I cannot really tell about it because I only tried a few such as Plant Vs Zombies and the Nexus 7 performs well. The back is a little bit warm but not too warm you'll be able to put it on your knees if you need. I recommend to flash the stock ROM by one cleaned from Google services. Doing that I gained almost 1 hour of autonomy and temperatures significantly dropped as well.

  • Dear users. I have an issue. From few days my Tablet can't be charged when is swiched ON...But when I swich it OFF it becomes to charge. Can anybody tell what should I do? Is there any Setting or something. I did't do anything special.

  • I bought it from UK but now am fedup because I couldn't make voice call & when I make cellular calls the device isn't responding. Pls help me

  • I'm using the Nexus 7 2013 LTE since 20 days. It has very nice build up quality. At front the display is totally black with 1.2mp front facing camera and a notification light which is not noticeable if not blinking. At the back it has matte finish back panel which has very good grip and a 5mp decent camera which gives good images at daylights and average at night. Now, the speakers are at top and bottom of the tablet which has clear but not very much loud. The video quality is very good. 1080p videos are smooth like butter. The gaming experience is awesome. I'm playing heavy games like FIFA 14 NOVA 3 ,GTA SAN ANDREAS, REAL RACING, ASPHALT 8 AIRBORNE, etc. Without any lags. The UI is quite smooth. I haven't found any lag till now. I have used approx. 1.2gb of ram and only 800mb(approx) is left. Then also it's quite smooth. Playing very much games and regular WiFi enable then also it gives a good battery backup of 10-12 hrs of almost continuous use. The conclusion is that, it is a best tablet for entertainment purpose and for surfing internet too. I'm happy with my Nexus.&#128513;&#128513;&#128522;&am­p;#128522;&#128522;&#9786;&#9786;

  • The battery life os great! It's an awesome tablet!

  • I intend to buy it but I wanna know how is its battery life ???

  • i have both models of nexus and i must say you are way off on this opinion. The 2013 is way faster and has much more better graphics. Tested over and over again, on every level, the 2013 has improved features. Both of them work perfectly for over a year now

  • I have had this machine for about three weeks. Its pretty awesome; very fast and smooth. But it restarts somewhat often. How faces this issue and who knows a way out ? Thanks

  • I owned this for 8months & using headset on my nexus 7 2013 is working very well. i would suggest you to go where you bought that asap for device checking.

  • I've been had my 2013 Nexus 7 for a few months now and I have to say that I liked the 2012 version much better.. They say that the speakers are much louder but they are not.. They say that the screen is better which it is not.. My 2013 freezes up on me a lot.. I reset it and thought that would help but it didn't.. When I have my headphones attached and I try to watch Netflix or listen to Pandora, the Google Talk Command keeps popping up without me doing a thing to the tablet.. They say that the 2013 version is much faster than the 2012 version which it runs about the same.. I feel like I really wasted my money on this one.. If I could get a refund I would.. I love the Nexus 7 brand but this 2013 Nexus 7 is a joke.! #UnsatisfiedCustomer

  • For my device, headphone is not working (no sound). Anyone face similiar type of issue? How you resolve the problem?

  • Yes, I know as I have 2 devices with 444, and it´s on the way to my xperia z as well. but sounds weird, that my sony gets official 444 update earlier, than google´s own device...

  • android 444 no bees knees - we have 444 on one of our nongoogle non nexus devicess.. no noticeable change from 443.

  • So damn awesome. The best Android device I have had to date. Extremely fast and guaranteed upgrades. Android L is being optimised for Nexus 7.

  • It´s just unbelievable: no 4.4.4 update so far for the LTE. Bought in the same store (MediaMarkt Austria, west europe), but my Nexus 5 received this update many many weeks ago... Even the cyanogenmod on my SGS2 updated itself to this version. Can´t find words, this was the top of the line tablet when I bought it. I had 2, the regular, only wifi version was up to date all the times. Thinkin´about rooting all my devices and flashing CM. They are more professional, than the google guys.

  • no but its one of the best ever. it doesnt ghave a flash too

  • Can you use whatsup etc

  • The Nexus 7 3G cannot make phone calls. You can receive SMS but cannot reply. Despite these limitations it is still one of the best 7 inch tablets on this planet and I would use no other tablet. I have had four of them, so I know what I am talking about! (Currently on a 32GB 2013 LTE).

  • can this LTE version devices make a phonecalls or video call?

  • I have been using this for a month. I can't explain how good is this tab. This is the best tab, you can buy at this price.

  • This is the best tablet for this price and OS support from google!!!

  • It's the best tablet out there but I just sold it. I recommend you get something else unless you don't mind if the premium slim build will creak after a few months like mine did. It's all over the webs. I aint the one having this issue.

  • Hy everybdy i want to know if these device is worth of buying or not? If not than suggest any other tablet worth buying?

  • u nid to root device for usb OTG

  • no 444 update for nexus 7 2013 lte model yet .. stuck on 443 ..lags by a few seocnds on each tap ..

  • Hi, I didnt notice it supports OTG! I tried to make it read my ext hdd and mouse, bt it didnt. Wat cud be d prob? The same OTG cable was used in my XperiaM and it worked.

  • Great price/performance ratio, excellent display. very good for browsing, playing, watching videos, basically for everything. I use it mainly for software testing. Very useful device for me, never disappointed me after 1 year of usage. Main disadvantage is the lack of SD card slot, but it supports USB-OTG, so it's possible to use it with external storage.

  • just updated 4.4.4!!! its awesome... :D :D

  • You can watch videos on other browser except croome i dont know the other browser such as mozilla etc.. :D i'm using Dolphine browser & it's working.

  • I m just unable to update my nexus 7 c 2013 model from 4.3.1 to 4.4.2... Just can't see any progress in the download bar. Please someone help.

  • Flash has been dropped from Android and iOS. We're on the crevice of flash being phased out of the market. Be glad for that. It's insecure and taxing on the cpu(battery).

  • You can, though it's in .apk form only, and will not work with Chrome. Other browsers will play nice with it, Firefox in particular.

  • Can you guys tell me please does it have flash player?

  • I've been using this tab for 9 months. and I havnt experience slowdown,unresponsive & so on.The performance of this tab is really awesome & reliable. except of its design. :D i would recommend this tab to those people cant afford to have highend tab. :D

  • I love this tab, it works perfectly as I want it. From the graphics to its speed and being handy. Small concern though is about the speaker, it's a lil bit low and not giving a good base or premium crisp sound. :)

  • After a successful hard reset of my Nexus 7 2013 (LTE), I stuck at Wi-Fi setup screen. I have no Wi-Fi option currently but my sim inside has active internet. Is it mandatory to start up the device first time with internet? Any offline option?

  • It support wireless charging however you need to buy wireless charger first.

  • I'm sorry to hear that, what version of Nexus 7 2013 do you have? Is it wifi only or with cellular data with simcard itself? If with simcard, try these. 1. remove the simcard,OFF & ON the Mobile data, swith your network mode to wcdma/3G/4G. just dont choose GSM only. 2. OFF the Roaming data service, 3. Check the APN settings (if you dont know,kindly call your network provider who provide internet to your device. 4. Try to transfer your simcard to other device that capable to access internet. just to check if the simcard has internet. 5. check if you have Signal indicator besides signal bar. you should see E,H,3G,LTE,4G to access internet. IF WIFI ONLY. 1. OFF Roaming service, 2. just connect your N7 to the wifi provider near you. ofcourse you need to know the password & on the wifi status you should see "Connected" where you join. Good'day friend.^_^

  • Why the antutu of xperia sp is higher than nexus 7 2013? Even its quad core

  • I have had this tablet for a couple of months now. The only thing I noticed is the touch is not so good when I first got it. It took a couple of weeks to get warmed up and now is working better than when I first got it. I have the tablet on a payment plan from my carrier. I use to have a 2012 wifi version I bought for Christmas for myself. I ended up giving it to my Mother for her birthday. This is the first device I have owned that uses LTE on my carrier. I may ended up buying an Samsung S3 just to have LTE on a phone on my carrier.

  • Try to Compare the Specifications of Nexus 7 2013 to any IPAD, once you see the same specifications then look for the PRICE, Comments/hands-on. I went to Apple store with $350 US dollar and look for ipad, and i was looking for ipad that enough for my money unfurtunetly, i saw Apple iPad Wi-Fi cost $ 349 US dollar with very low spec. i know that the quality is in their however. that spec is really low. so i chosed to buy Nexus 7 costing $350 US dollars. rather than Ipad. what im trying to say is ITS EXPENSIVE to have IPAD with high spec like Nexus 7 :D. & until now im still using this tab without any problem with its quality. :D

  • Hey, as far as my experience goes, Apple products have always been better in gaming. The display and details in games as compared to Android tabs/phones is amazing. So, if your looking for a pure gaming tab, go for iPad. However, if you want a complete portable workstation, go for the Nexus.

  • Why the the antutu of xperia sp is higher than nexus 7 2013?

  • IOS only

  • I want to purchase a Tab for gaming..which one I should purchase Nexus 7(2013) or iPad mini.. Please suggest

  • Yes :-( I hope the producer make a game for Non-Tegra

  • Thank you.I hope the producers of the game to make upgrades for devices like Nexus 7...The tablet is still the best

  • Hi popino you can't play that game because its for only tegra 4 devices :-)

  • Hi friends.Does anybody know how to run half-life 2 on nexus 7.Is there any upgrade to the chip set, so it can play tetra 4 video games.Thanks in advance :-) :-) :-)

  • Thank you for answering my question! Ill go for nexus!! Because im not calling im too young for that LOL But I see the antutu of XSP is higher than nexus 7 2013

  • Xperia sp bec nexus 7 doesnt have calling feature unlike xperia n looks wise also xperia sp is sexy and better built quality but it doesnt nexus7 is bad, its good for gaming, browsing etc with 7 inches screen of high resolution. Its just not for calling,

  • Guys! What is better to buy? Xperia sp or nexus 7 2013? And why?

  • Can it connect to wpa2-enterprise type wifi?

  • Hi friends.Does anybody knows how to run half-life 2 on nexus 7.Is there any upgrade to the chip set, so it can play tetra 4 video games.Thanks in advance :-) :-) :-)

  • it doesnt have call option and u can check it by urself as in the specification there are no alert types for calling like tones and vibrations and also its written with cellular with 3g/4g support if it had call option company with promote it with call feature not just 3g/4g support.

  • NEXUS 7 2013- WIFI direct transfer function does not work

  • Oh. okay. do you have 3G/4G version of this tab? have you tried to make a call? i'm not really sure if this tab has a function to make a call or recieve. and its better for us to know it actually by testing the call functions. coz when i bought my tab with wifi version only, the personel didn't allow me to ON the device, i dont think so if the other store would allow you to test. :D

  • Then I have to compare with another nexus 7 ...&#128546;&#128546;

  • No u cant make calls but only data calls means just 2g, 3 g and 4 g data calls in other words jst internet n sms facility but no calling whether its dailing or recieving.

  • Yes. Kindly read the previous comments. :D

  • do nexus 7 (2013)32 gb version hav a sim card slot,,so that i can use it where wi fi is not avilable...

  • Hi, Yes you can use on Wifi only and no need to insert sim.

  • Yes , it works with wi-fi alone. If you put a SIM card and enable data you may use it where wi-fi is not available. Have tried it out and it really works

  • Hi to all, Yesterday i bought the asus nexus 7 (2013) 4G and i would like to ask if i could use it only with wi-fi or i must insert a sim card??? Many thanks

  • For me, regarding with its sounds, hmm. its fine since i can hear the sounds 3meters away from the N7, maybe it depends to people how they hear. :D

  • Everything is OK....not only OK but just awesome.... But one disappointing feature is external speaker volume is too low...while comparing with other tablets like galaxy tab 2..... I'm I only facing this problem,or all nexus 7 tabs or like mine only?????????

  • You can choose 1.Asus Google Nexus 7 2 Cellular with 3G/4G support (if you choose this i think you CAN make a calls,text,data ofc since you can insert simcard.) or its better for you to go to store to ask about this on actual. :D 2.Asus Google Nexus 7 2 with no cellular network support(if you choose this you CANNOT make calls,text,data since it has NO simcard slot.) & and anyway im using this tab, WITH NO CELLULAR network, i can only use wifi connection. I hope this give you info. :D i recommend this tab. :D

  • This is best 7 inch tablet. I am enjoying WIFI version 16 GB nexus 7. It is the perfect device, till now, I am not getting any problems. This full hd display, I can not imagine, such a good quality pictures and really good for playing games. I dont think we can get any better tablet with this price.

  • a question, is nexus 7 has 2g,3g and 4g network with calling feature or nexus 7 2?.. actually i want a tablet with calling feature with 3g atleast with wifi. and pls tell me about the battery back-up?

  • 16GB wifi only. No Sim card slot :) 32GB 3G/LTE

  • Guys im planning to buy this in june but everyone is talking about screen and rebooy issues? Should I switch to hp slate 8 pro or slate 7 extreme?

  • cant you read, it says micro sim card

  • no you don't need to root the tab you can download whats app from torrent but it will work on one device with one number if you buy the sim version it will support 3g and if you buy WiFi version it will not support any network

  • does this tablet has a sim slot

  • Does this tablet has a port for sim card

  • Does this tablet has a slot for a SIM card?

  • A few Q abt Asus Nexus 7 (2013): 1) Is there any software to install for this phone to receive a normal sms (msg) like the normal phone? Call in or out not a priority. 2) Whatsapp-Others friend told me the phone need to root 1st before we can install the app...is it true? Thanks &#128522;

  • NO

  • does the 16gb nexus 7 has 3g support?

  • does the 16gb has 3G support

  • does the 16gb has 2g option?

  • I own one of these and I love it. I wanted a tablet; but didn't want a iPad (1. I already own a iOS device, which is a iPod Touch 5th Generation. 2. I didn't really fancy a iPad.), so when I found this nice little tablet, I thought "This looks nice" and got it for Christmas. So, was it the money? INDEED. It is a powerful power-horse to get me through the day and it rarely needs charging (I don't know if this is a glitch, but for some reason when I uploaded a video I took on the N7 to YouTube, I found out it had uploaded to 4K QUAILTY. I know, and the camera doesn't even record 4K!). It handles webpages well, and there is almost no lag. I have played some games on it and the performance is great, hardly any lag or stutters. The camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels, the same my iPod Touch 5G has. Pictures have good colour, they look sharp, and are great all together. One thing I question about the device is the screen. A lot of the bottom of the front panel is wasted, and the notification LED could of been moved to the top to make space for more screen size. But I' am happy with 7" to use. The tablet runs Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat, the latest Android OS. It is, in a sort of way, better than iOS. That is because iOS is a tightly controlled OS, while Android is more open-source, so more modifications can be made on the device. So if you need a cheap tablet, but not something low end, and iOS free, this is a tablet for you.

  • nexus

  • Try using nail scissors or iPhone sim extraction tool

  • Well , i own a nexus 7 2013 and i really really love it . So , if you want a tablet that fits in almost every pocket and by the same time packs enough power for everyday use you should go for the nexus , besides you'll be always up to date since it's a nexus device (premium) . However , if you want a more comfortable tablet you should take the g pad . But when it comes to performance , they are both equal so don't worry about this one .

  • Which one is better Asus Google Nexus 7 (2013) Or LG G Pad 8.3 ??? Please reply...........

  • I have list d sim ejection tool and now I hav to insert d sim. Please tell how to insert it fo nexus 7 2013

  • I need to know if it still the best 7inch Android tablet that money can buy

  • Is there any new information about this product performance

  • Adding to my praise I have to mention the only downside I've found. While charging and listening to music and browsing with maximum brightness the battery will DRAIN 1% every 10 minutes instead of filling. So if you're down to 5% and plug it in, you can only surf for an hour before it dies. Take this into consideration, or let it charge in peace.

  • Bought this for indoor AND outdoors use and got a 256kbps 3G for 2,9�/mo with no limits for it. The screen IS visible in direct sunlight, Spotify works fine with the mentioned speed like do all the apps I use. And the stereo speakers are really good, even with a hint of bass. Pure Kitt Katt experience is also awesome. I can now go anywhere to annoy people with my music taste and write to the cloud, this had Google Drive pre-installed. Also, I downloaded a 6.6GB 1080p.mkv to this and it took it in and played it nicely making use of the FHD screen, so no 2GB file size limit that have plagued me in the past. So don't think, just buy.

  • You probably had your tab set to Auto Update the Apps. They will run in the background without your consent and obviously drain your battery. :)

  • Please help!!

  • If nexus 7c has a micro-sim slot but does not have a Voice calling facility then what is the sim needed for? Can the sim be used for internet browsing only?

  • Did someone here experience draining battery? Like ive experience.. I have fully charge my nexus 7 2013 12am..but when i woke up 9am.. Im surprised that my battery becomes 50%, my tab is just in sleep mode like me :)

  • The nexus 7 is one of the most amazing budget tabs of the year. It has a fast s4 pro chipset and amazing HD display. The graphics are also amazing. I would recommend this tab to all my friends and everyone else.&#9786;

  • The tab isn't over a year old yet.

  • It's a tablet, not a phone, you receive and send data. Need a phone add a SIP phone.

  • Not true at all (8 months using the tablet). But be careful: the screen i fragile.

  • Hi guys, does n7 access internet in 2g network with a 2g sim? May I recharge my sim using easy recharge? And is anyone using this tab for more than 1 year and faceing any hardware problems? Please help me......

  • Not really, because the touches are accurate and I read that there is going to be a new update which is 4.4.3 which fixes some more bugs. Still no flaws/lags on the nexus 7 I love it and for me it's one of the best.

  • Hey anyone I heard that z nexus 7 2013 is going to be unresponsive because of the screen issues after about a couple months and then it will not work properly , is that true?

  • My name is Ruchi Jain. I have bought google nexus 7 2013 32gb for 25000/- and I am completely annoyed as even 2 months haven't completed yet and i have to visit service center thrice due to Touch, Battery and screen issue. Asus have new idea to sell its defective pieces for same price that when you'll order one they'll sent you defective device and when you'll get issue they'll force you to get it repair and keep it with you. I HATE ASUS A LOT :(

  • please help

  • i really enjoyed my nexus7 2013 it for around 2months,then cracks on the screen started to appear and the screen do not function well anymore. i did not drop it banged it on, the hairline cracks just appeared one day. i went to the store where i bought my nexus and told them about the problem, after few days they told me that ASUS is not liable and will not cover it for warranty,but the worst thing is,to my surprise,they will charge me 8,500 pesos for repair of the screen. i am very sad and dissapointed

  • Nexus 7 it great device according to specification but looks like asus is not a good manufacturer because other nexus product are doing great only asus manufacturer are givving problems Also if you are going to buy nexus 7 2013 i will wish you a luck because if you are lucky you will get the good piece im using nexus 7 2013 its doing fine not that great it heat up while playing some games also it heat ups fast while using camera and one i got touch issues but got it fixed after turning off and on one again wish you luck hope after lollipop update all will be fixed

  • I had bought GOOGLE NEXUS 7 32 GB 2013 for 25000/- on 24th Jan 2014. Yet 2 months haven't completed but I have to visit service station thrice due to issues of Touch, Battery and screen. They have a new policy to sell their defective device on same price of fresh device. Now when you'll order one Ist they'll deliver you a defective device and when you'll start having issues they'll force you to get it repair and keep it with you so that their defective devices get sell too. I have wasted my money for this Asus and I really HATE THEM very much.

  • I've been using Nexus 7 2013 for 6 months and all i can say is still good,smooth,fantastic. Really worth it to buy.

  • Re the bluetooth issue I raised the other day, has anyone else lost their bluetooth connectivity since updating their 2013 Nexus 7's?

  • I have had this for a while now and I can confidently say that this tablet is perfect! It does everything you need and more, work, play, games.. Anything and everything, this tablet can do easily. Its fast, lasting battery and great display. Good for installing ROMs too, camera can be questioned but to be honest, who really uses a camera on a tablet anyway. At the moment for 32 gb , jbhifi (Australia) has it for $199... I have no reason to but I would definitely by another, they are just the best!

  • No

  • Can you install Blackberry Messenger on this?

  • In this buget among all the tablet this is the best TABLET.

  • What else do you want....its quite enough my dear........

  • We've got 3 (!) in our household, 2 of which are for our kids. They initially used them with Wii remotes when playing SNES emulators but since a system update the Nexus 7 won't pair with the Wii controllers or my bluetooth headphones. Does anyone have any advice to help resolve this?

  • Compare to Google Nexus Tablet that is nothing but a trash.......!!!

  • I must say that I've been converted. Been using the ipad for almost tow years now and it's not really for hacker types who love to fiddle. Yes, if you're some kind of professional, you'll be able to find good apps for your job in the iOS ecosystem. But those apps would probably be available on the Android platform too. The Nexus 7 also allows Firefox, I hate not having Adblock plus on iOS. Nicer form factor, and lighter than my iPad 3. I can easily put it my suit's lining.

  • U can buy micromax canvas tab

  • I ball slide

  • Don't buy nexus 7 2013 it has many complains also my experience with nexus 7 2013 is not that great like I expected I would say go for Samsung instead if nexus 7 2013 I was nexus fan before i bought this tablet but this product is great due to specification but got lots of problems.

  • yes, it does support OTG (ON THE GO)cable! :D

  • You have a one year warranty which allows servicng of the unit based on your s/n

  • Does this tablet's OTG supports USB HDD (hardisk drives)????

  • I won mine in the Kit Kat competition in South Africa, how does the warranty work if something goes wrong?

  • Yes it supports USB OTG. But if you wish to connect flash drives, have nexus media importer installed first

  • Pls help ! How do I load airtime (nexus 7)

  • Does this tablet support USB on the go? Please answer me

  • Wooaaaa!!!. Its working now, the adobe flash player,, wtf, thank you so much.

  • Adobe flash player works with dolphin browser with dolphin jetpack.

  • do this tablet have phone calls option??

  • How to extend your Nexus 7 (2013)'s battery life: 1. Do not use any power saving apps as most of the time, they don't really work. This also includes task killers. When I uninstalled Battery Doctor, the battery life got better, same thing with Task Killers. If you're going to install a Task Killer, make sure you do not let it run in the background, do not schedule a task, etc, and do not auto-kill apps in the background as most of the apps it kills, will just start again and again, draining your battery. Just kill the tasks or open apps manually, if possible. I do this especially when I'm playing games so there's no a lot of apps running in the background giving me more RAM. 2. As much as possible, avoid automatic brightness. I think it really is draining my battery a lot. When I adjust it manually, I get more juice for my battery. I just make it brighter manually when I'm outdoor. 3. Do not put a lot of widgets on the homescreens. Only use widgets that you really need. In my case, I only use a 3rd party calendar widget, Play Book widget for easy access to my e-books, Any.do widget and Google Keep. The rest are app shortcuts which doesn't really run in the background. 4. Do not use live wallpapers. Well, I only use the one preinstalled in the tablet but most of the time, I just use static wallpapers. A darker one would also help save battery life. Most 3rd party live wallpapers drain the battery fast! 5. Always check the Battery under Settings to find out which app/s really drain/s the battery. Before, the Google Play Services was the culprit so I've disabled some of its services and it worked. That's it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the Nexus 7 (2013) but there are times, I'm having issue with the keyboard which acts up once in a while so I can't type properly. Sometimes, when you type P, the letter R will come up, though these 2 letters are far apart from each other.

  • Does it have wifi tethering?

  • Ohh, it works for dolphine browser only but thats ok than none. I'll check that. Thanks in advance buddy!

  • That is absolutely normal as the cpu and gpu are running at higher frequencies. The screen uses the most battery. To keep your battery healthy you should never plug in your charger whilst playing games.

  • hey got my nexus 7 2 here. seems like im having a problem on my batt, it drains fast. i can only use it for 5-6hrs of gaming. is it normal? what can i do to extend the batt life? Thank you.

  • hey i got my nexus 7 2 here. seems like the battery has a problem. it drains fast. can only use it for 5-6 hrs, more on gaming. is it normal?

  • Guide how to play Adobe Flash video on any Android 4.4, including Nexus 7 2013:

  • I've never experienced any lags when playing games even those games that require advanced graphics. The 7 inch size is also perfect for playing games especially in landscape mode when you have to hold the tablet with two hands.

  • can sms and call or not???

  • i own N7 and i love it. no lags nothing. its way better than galaxy 8. Go for N7 :D

  • Got this in December and it's fantastic. There are a lot off bad comments about build quickly but they are of a high quickly much better than a unnamed cheep tablet off eBay and build quality as good as apple can cum up with. It feels light and robust to hold that being said it's the same as all tablet's and smart phones if you drop it it will break the screen. All in all it's a brilliant tablet. Faster and smoother than my HTC One X

  • im still thinking about buying this tablet but many people have reported touch screen issues, ghosting , rebooting etc. Is anyone experiencing these issues often or currently ?

  • How can I use the build-in guide from Asus Google Nexus 7 ? Thank you in advance. Can I really use it as a phone ?

  • It sucks on a laptop, but on a small tablet i is ok! Android is not perfect either!

  • Good luck with that crapy OS

  • Nexus 7 2013 have to many problems because of ASUS bad build quality, so I will probably buy my first Windows 8.1 tablet, "Acer Iconia W4-821 8" HD Atom Z3740, 64GB SSD, Office Home and Student 2013, 3G, Windows 8.1, 2GB RAM, GPS, 18.6 Wh, Micro-SD".

  • Agree...Have to visit the service center once becuse of this f**king prob...lost all data....ASUS Suck

  • Of course Mini

  • Get the latest .apk file of whatsapp or viber install on the device and register the phone number for which you want to use whatsapp. I have registered my landline number.

  • I really wanted to buy this tablet, it has the best specs of all tablets, but unfortunatly it is made by Asus and that is the same as having extremly bad buildquality!

  • how are you running whatsapp on this tablet with on wifi model you using? can you guide?

  • Thanks man.I hope it works. I also wnat to ask everybody.Why this game 9MM dos not work with Nexus 7, or I can't find better torrent and APK.has anybody wordek this out>

  • Its an awesome device with HD display. In the wifi only edition I am running whatsapp and viber and its running flawlessly.

  • hi, can we use 3g usb device for nternet on it attached by on this tab....????plz teell me.

  • Hi, I am from India and I would like to know if we can use 2g/3g sim card on this Tab? I understand making and receiving calls does not work but does the internet work via 2g/3g sim?

  • are you still having those phantom touches?

  • just nexus 7 2 it's very nice

  • ipad mini or nexus 7 2nd gen?

  • ASUS Nexus 7 is anyones dream.... I have just recieved mine it has a month since I recieved it.... The device is just High-Tech... I am glad that the company created this....

  • Nexus-es are budget devices unlike iPads

  • Nexus-es Ares budget devices unlike iPhones

  • I have this tablet for 4 months now and I haven't had any problem so far. It works great with all games I ever tried no lags at all and I played full hd videos without any problem. A very good option for an Android tablet without doubt.

  • This tablet is very good but main drawback is inspite of sim card we cannot receive or make calls.

  • Dont touch these with a barge pole . They have a common fault which Asus have yet to rectify. The device locks out and will not turn on again so you have to loose all your apps etc. This happened to me 3 times after xmas 2013 and was sent back. On further research it appears this is a common fault which Asus are not to quick in finding software to rectify Your choice

  • here is flashplayer and its working:

  • I've been playing with my Nexus 7 (2013) for about two weeks now and overall, I'm very satisfied with my tablet except for some issues: 1. The screen isn't too bright under the sun, I always have to change the wallpaper to a bright one just to be able to see the screen much better. Nevertheless, it's great indoors. Using live wallpapers doesn't drain batteries either. 2. I also encounter problems with the touch screen especially when pressing the space key, I always end up correcting the word as I will realize there was no space. Inconvenient. It happens both in landscape and portrait mode. 3. It restarts when using some apps. Well, the only app I can remember that makes the tablet reboots is Snapseed (photo editing app) whenever the I convert the image to Black & White. Other than that, the screen resolution is amazing. Can't help but to always stare at the screen's retina display! So far, it's the best device I've used and changed my perception of Android which I thought is all lag but you can't say the same thing to Google Nexus devices. Cheers.

  • Used it, not impressed. I play some games and the device is very hot, which is not nice. Battery gone down quickly. I have iPad and Nexus 7. Ipad is way better than this one. Kinda disappointed.

  • sorry dude, but we have too many reason why we chose. N7. not just for gaming and also we want to make a txt and more features on android. not just for play and especially its handy. can u bring PS4 or xbox w/ T.V anywhere? :D

  • I must say this device is amazing.. The only thing u might b worried about is that it has touch screen issues.. Has bad quality control in that department.. Google this issue and u ll knkw better.. Other wise this device is beautiful and adorable., there are times when i cant stop adoring its design and display.. Good luck

  • Why don't you just buy a PS4 or xbox one if you're just going to buy a tablet for gaming?

  • Good jop asus

  • Why are u guys even going for n7 instead of purchasing a n7 for 21k inr add more 4k to it and go for the full windows tablets like lenovo mixx2 ,dell venue8 pro ,acer iconia w4 or toshiba encore and enjoy playing call of duty or need for speed in them instead of playing cod and nfs like games (nova3 ,dead trigger or asphalt shit in n7)......research......compare.....think......an­d then spend your hard earned money .......

  • Get the bigger one Samsung Google Nexus 10 and see if it supports Adobe Flash, because it's very important.I blame my self that I did't check about that in my Nexus 7...Asus please make something.

  • I will buy this tab in my birthday

  • Yeah!it doesnt support adobe flash!

  • Everything OK, but why Nexus 7 does not support Adobe flash, please Asus upgrade it, this will JAM:-) :-) :-)

  • I love my nexus 7, after this device im fun of nexus devices and the only way i will sell this tablet is to buy nexus 8

  • I been using this tab for about 3months already. all i can say is cool,worth it, awesome! I recommend this!

  • THIS THING IS AMAZING!!! up until last week, I had the Galaxy 7 and had no issues with it. After taking it in to check a blinking screen issue, they upgraded me to the latest Nexus 7. I was playing Injustice Gods Among Us and all I kept saying was "DAMN!". Everything looks amazing on it and it is FAST. If you are in the market for a 7 inch tablet, PICK THIS UP!

  • Having this tablet make me one of the asus' fan now. It has light weight body with nice sleek design, also with latest OS update, no lag issues as of now having it within 2weeks of buying it.highly recommended for its price and specs. For the Win!

  • The more I use my Nexus 7 (2013), the more I fall in love it. Bought this device after a thorough research of about a month or so. But I must say whatever I had heard about this device in the reviews that it is the best 7 inch tablet, were all true. There isn't any tiny fault in this. It always excels my expectations from it and has no any comparison what so ever in its class. I love you, Nexus 7.

  • I must say this is the best ever purchase in my life.I have used almost every big brand device out there. This is the best so far in performance (even in mobile section) i hate note 3 because of ita touch wiz and no snapdragon in india galaxy tabs are useless(not the PRO series afcourse) ipad mini 2 is good but lack of customization and costly too i bought 32gb for 20k(330$) apprpx Screen 10(Best screen ever seen loved it) design 9.5( only because buttons are not easy to press ) Performance 10 no lag for sure price 9(because its cheaper in us 269$ for 32gb) battery 9(even you turn off wifi it will eat ur battery so use airplane mode) found some bug in rom but those will be fine in further updates as it ia google. just report them. Nexus devices worth investing.

  • it does but only for mouse and keyboard, for storage devices u may need to download a paid app called nexus media importer, or u can root ur device and use the stickmount app for full otg support, i believe it can be fixed thru updates but that will dpens on google i guess, 4.4.2 still doen't allow full otg access

  • Do I guess its worth buying one ?

  • So I guess its eight buying ib

  • My predictions for the next nexus 7 Snapdragon 805 2.5GHz krait 450 3GB ram 16GB/32GB storage Dimensions : (7.65X4.35X0.30) 8MP camera no flash front 2.1MP 2560X1600 resolution Adreno 420 GPU Non removable 4000-4500 mAh battery 249$-269$ price tag for 16GB 279$-299$ for 32GB model Of my predictions are true my first generation iPad mini will get a replacement

  • what is the nexus 7 ( 2013 ) price

  • please somebody tell me, does the tablet supporting USB OTG?

  • is it sim in it???

  • got mine 2 weeks ago 32g, superb i would say for a 7 incher, just a minor software issue on otg which can be fixed with future updates

  • I use these tablet 3weeks and I'm very satisfacted. Very good multi touch for plying piano :) Exelent for reading ebooks with big zoom, very good resolution

  • u can also buy @ sm north edsa. its only 12,350(1000 discount)

  • Just bought my Nexus 7 16GB yesterday and so far I'm very satisfied with it. I bought it at SM Megamall here in the Philippines. First impression, it was stunning. THe display's superb. I tried other tablets first before buying this, even considered the ASUS MemoPad as it's much more affordable but comparing the 2 displays, the Nexus 7 is the clear winner. I am also a big fan of the vanila Android and that's the only reason I would buy an Android phone or tablet - if it's a Nexus device. I like the matte finish of the back and the all glass display in front. The performance is unquestionable. I tried teh ASUS MemoPad and there were some hiccups when srolling through pages and swiping on the screen but I rarely get this issue with my Nexus. I know it's only the second day so it's too early to judge but I have this feeling that I will be enjoying this tablet for a long time. I am a big fan of Windows Phone and when I got my Lumia before, I told myself never to go back to Android as my experience with WP was really great. It was just a smooth OS. But the Nexus line changed the perception that Android is just a lagging OS. It certainly is not with the right number of RAM and core processors. I just hope it has a microSD card slot and HDMI. I will be back commenting after a week or 2 and will post my experience with the Nexus 7 and I hope the my positive view of this tablet won't change. Cheers from the Philippines. Gerald

  • what model can i use for browsing and at the same time for calling/messaging?

  • I use these tablet 3weeks and I'm very satisfacted. Very good multi touch for plying piano :) Exelent for reading ebooks with big zoom, very good resolution

  • Thank you for your comment.

  • Thank you for replying.

  • hi everyone! i'm planning to buy a nexus 7! However I have a question, i hope you(nexus 7 users) don't mind me asking. Can i use projector using this tablet? I hope you could assist me. thanks in advance!

  • Yes you can, and you can with the first generation as well. Another remark: currently, the first gen. of Nexus 7 is the most supported tablet by custom roms and applications. This will be on same level soon too, I'm sure. So, besides the performance, it's highly recommended those who ever want change the rom.

  • I've been using the tablet for several weeks and I must say that it's good and I'm very satisfied :-)

  • No. It is working flawlessly. Bought it on launch and have nothing to complain.

  • Awesome tablet that I never seen !!!

  • Has a anybody been using this for 2-3months ? How is the performance? Any issues with touch screen sensitivity,screen ghosting,reboots etc ? Thanks

  • can we use USB OTG cable to conect an USB 3G to Nexus 7 2013?

  • Buy a USB OTG cable and download the Nexus Media Importer. You can then copy files from USB flash drives to the Nexus 7. Copying files directly from PC to Nexus 7 is straightforward. From my Mac, I use Android file transfer - a free software to transfer files

  • how many hours does the 2013 nexus 7 charge?

  • Can we transfer files/docs from our pc to nexus via usb?

  • were can i download USB-driver?

  • You just need to buy another usb cable. It can be even a samsung one.

  • just got mine 2 weeks ago, i would say its the best one out there for a 7 incher, just a minor issue with otg

  • I got mini usb cable now what next????

  • Go a head and sell note 2 and buy Nexus 7

  • The best Tab i have ever tested. With 2GB of RAM, it is the fastest yet. The display is stunning. It is sleek yet a monster. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

  • Guys i bought this tablet yesterday and since then it keeps on rebooting on its own. If any of you know the solution to the problem then please tell me.

  • no

  • Nexus 7 2 one of the most anticipated 7 Inch tablet. I have used most of the premium devices, and in its category three main competitors I.e. iPad mini 2, note 8.0 and nexus 7 2. IPad mini 2 is best amongst all of its kinds in hardware software and battery performance and overall usability, note 8 is most affordable in its kind as it has 8 inch HD screen even it is non retina but still very crisp clear, very powerful speakers, stylus pen, Heavy processor with 2 GB ram. in short, IPad mini 2 is best in these three for its best battery life confirmed 10 plus hours, best camera for True 1080p at true 30fps, most beautiful super HD screen and PPI and advantageous iOS with Jailbreak available now. Only draw back is lack of memory card and expensive memory expansion. Nexus 7 is best affordable tablet, powerful device. Most importantly it has best mobility portability capabilities, it fits easily in any pocket. It has very nice image quality but video recording has one draw back it is true 1080p but at 20fps not the quoted 30fps. It is bit disappointing for me. No GPS issues or screen touch missing after updating to android 4.4.2. In Pakistan 32gb WiFi only cost 33000, around 300$. Note 8 despite its merits, has relatively low battery life, around 6hours if iPad mini is 10hours. Camera is huge disappointment, 720p at 24fps but quality is choppy and lack details. Verdict--- best 8inch tablet in design, performance and battery is iPad mini 2 if u can afford 450$ for 16gb WiFi only, best budget tablet is nexus 7 2 for $300 for 32gb, And finally note is most powerful device with all functionalities like stylus pen, card slot, heavy speakers for $300 16gb WiFi and $410 phone capable 16gb. First check your budget then your main required features. For business people and family usage I advise note 8, for professionals like doctors engineers authors entrepreneurs I recommend iPad mini 2, for students journalist gamers budget conscious people I recommend nexus 7 2 32gb. Don't buy any other tablet without using and extensively researching at least for 2 days. These are the best available options so far. This is Muhammad Kashif from baghbanpura.

  • for them it is a crap...you know why...??? because they are samsung fans...

  • We bought 2 of these new tablets for our kids at xmas; one is fine, but the battery pigeon the other is awful. It was rubbish before I updated to Kit Kst and following the software update it's just as poor. Has anyone else experienced this issue? We're thinking of seeking an exchange from the vendor :-(

  • Thank you! I have previous version of nexus and it's the same.

  • I shouldn't be asking such foolish questions, but my curiosity forces me to... Is the Nexus 7 durable? I mean if someone drops their Nexus 7, will it die?

  • Thanks everyone. I'm sure I want to buy a Nexus 7 now, no matter what. Thanks again for helping me out. :)

  • You can't go wrong with the new nexus 7 best buy ! I think only the 1st batch has the touchscreen issue... Mine was manufactured on 9/2013.you can see in the box when it was made.

  • Mustafa, yar I have been using this Tab for almost 5 months now (bought it Mid of August), and so far for me the only issues I have encountered include random reboots, but that issue got away with the KitKat 4.4 update. Of-course there are defective pieces but those are one in thousands. As for the comparison between Nexus 7, and Galaxy Tabs, believe me Nexus 7 is far superior than the Tab 2 and Tab 3.

  • No dude.. No voice call service supported. Only data support. we can't send SMS but we can receive SMS to sim number.... In fact this is the first tab from nexus with sim support'.. am using it and loving it. :-)

  • I have been using this device for a week now and all I can say is this device is awesome !! Best resolution and touch.2 GB RAM ..no lag while playing high end graphic games...:) light weight and slim..:) Go for it guys u wont regret. Best nexus tablet so far and I can even say best tablet in the market till date :)

  • You should ask this from someone who's used it. I myself want to buy it if and only if it is free of touchscreen issues.

  • Does 3G-LTE version support voice communication, sms &mms? tnx

  • so are you saying i shouldn't buy it? :/

  • I know that the tablet is great at the beginning but within a couple of months, the screen becomes unresponsive. I love this tablet but I hate its maker, ASUS. I'm really confused as in done websites, all the comments are positive about this and in others, all the comments are negative. I mean how are the comments diametrically opposed? Guys please share your experience with the Nexus 7 especially if you've used it long enough.

  • Go ahead and buy the tablet,I'm using my lte version for 1 week now and I didn't found any issues.I strongly recommend the purchase of this tablet instead of Samsung's.I was a Samsung fan until now.Best regards and a "HAPPY NEW YEAR !".

  • Does it Has Calling And watsapp works?And It is fast and good for Gaming?What Is it cost in Indian Rupees?

  • Does it need screenguard?

  • Guys, please help me out... I want to buy this tablet but I can't because people say it's got screen issues. If any of you have experienced any screen problems or anything like that, do let me know as soon as possible. Also suggest me a tablet among: Nexus 7, Galaxy tab 3 7.0, Galaxy tab 2 7.0. Thanks in anticipation. :)

  • I been using this tab for 2months, i havnt experience any problem with its application also the screen. the only thing that i found out is when i used front camera and turn it into night-mode the camera was not working anymore. :D but i just back&restore it.to work again.

  • I searched the whole web for a good 7" inch tablet for about a month and I found this Google Nexus 7 as the best tablet. But then to my surprise, I found some really bad stuff about it saying that it has got some serious screen issues: miss presses, ghost presses, freezing, not responding to touch and even screen crack. I had made up my mind but now I'm very confused as many people are satisfied by their Nexus 7 but many others say it's a piece of crap. Somebody please help me. Is this tablet good enough and all the bad stuff is nothing more than a rumor??

  • Yes, you can already with the Nexus 7II model/version.

  • Nexus 7II is a cellular/phone abled model already + 3G and 4G supported. Just look for the latest version in the market.

  • No, you can't do phone calls through the nexus 7

  • Can we make gsm voice calls using this nexus 7 ??

  • thanx Sam...

  • This is too good tablet pc,

  • Yes, you can. It supports otg.

  • front camera is really better for skype calling,rear camera is also good.It's just really awesome tablet

  • OTG support is available or not..??? can i use my pen drive with it???

  • I just want to know how come everyone's enjoying there's nexus 7, while i' m stuck with this tablet and it has some bugs like the screen just doesn't respond and reset and back up doesn't do any good, any word of advise? Thanks.

  • Very good tablet,very affordable price and worth the money,very fast and superb screen quality..for using a flash player use the dolphin browser and if you like transparent notification bar like the nexus 5 use nova launcher available on Playstore :) Hapi Holidays Everyone.. Godbless.. i recommend this.. i am very satisfied with asus google tandem :) i also owned the 1st gen, i sell it for 2nd gen. Worth the upgrade cause the 1st is so laggy..

  • Yes! You can read the description of instagram on playstore it says compatible on tablets...

  • Android takes up 6GB so u need the 32gb version otherwise your working with 10gb for everything. Love this. Works great. Has all the store apps available and this tablet also great for gaming. Very smooth. Love it. Very comfortable tablet to hold.

  • So you can take picture, filter it and upload photos on instagram ? Please.

  • There's no problem about instagram and Skype you can see well and working fine.. The shooter is good in well lighted background...

  • I have had nexus 7 2nd gen for over a month now and I find it an excellent tablet. It's quick and smooth, not to mention how brilliant the display is (could give Apple's retina display a run for its money). My only minor complaints are: 1. The volume rocker and power buttons are awkwardly positioned and 2. Speakers are somewhat weak. Io have had problems with the glass developing cracks or that the screen doesn't seem responsive. It's really a brilliant tablet all around!

  • Hello. I just want to ask If I can used espier launcher or Parallax launcher for this

  • Thank you for your response. What about instagram also its cam clarity for taking picture and skype videocall is it ok ? Thank you.

  • Might be his rom

  • Nope, i have wifi version only. and it doesnt support USB stick to connect to the internet. i only use wifi to connect to the internet. and it works fine for about 2months of using it. really awesome on playing games and browsing on the internet. :D

  • Yo, i got a question regarding this. I'm intrested in buying the WI-FI only version and I'm wondering if i can hook up a portable internet USB stick to it. A friend has some other WI-FI tablet and that's what he does with his and it works. Does this work on the NEXUS 7 too?

  • Thanks!

  • Hello. Would you mind If ask some questions: 1.my phone is Nokia 701 I just want to know If I can do file sharinhg between my phone to asus nexus 7 ? 2. Also if Instagram is available ? 3. how is the camera quality of rear and front facing ? 4. Lastly, is skype videocall camera quality good enough ? Please. I want to know the answer please, I honestly want to buy this tab as soon as I know. Thank you and have a great day ahead to us.

  • 16Gb or 32Gb it doesn't matter i plug my 1TB hard disk or my 32 flash memory and it works fine.

  • Yes, if you want a few high-end games on it and some apps, but If you want to put some music and movies on it also, I recommend the 32gb version, I ordered mine :). I hope this helps. Happy holidays.

  • The Nexus 7 is a great tablet, especially for the price

  • I'm using nexus 7 32 GB.I think 32 GB is better,because it has no memory card slot.

  • Seriously awesome.Its the best tab u can find.Try it.

  • I'm planning to buy this tablet. But, is 16gb enough? Thanks!

  • Hi guys tell me how is the service ?

  • hi guys please... guide me how is nexus 7 teb

  • Which apps will require to use internet via modem on nexus 7 2013? Can i use Skype through modem? Please help me ?

  • and that means the camera didn't improve? and whats your opinion on the camera? does it pretty well or something?

  • I believe the camera is firmware and because of that the Megapixels quantity will not change when the software OS is updated. Therefore, no; I don't think upgrading to the latest version of Android 4.4.2 will do anything to the camera itself.

  • I don't think so.

  • I would suggest you buy ASUS fonepad ME372CG with call facility.

  • Fantastic device Great performance ..nice display ..neat build quality There is a minor drawback that the camera may take poor photos in poor lighting conditions but all in all that is a great tab that delivers damn-good android experience :)

  • does the camera quality changed when upgraaded to kitkat?

  • I have a question. Does the camera quality has changed if it has been upgraded to kitkat? someone please answer me

  • To expand on what I said before, I don't know if it's a good idea to purchase the Nexus 7 (Generation 2) now. Is Asus coming out with a superior version of this device the Summer of 2014? If so, then purchasing the 2013 would be pointless.

  • is it true that LTE version, Whatsapp and WeChat not available on Playstore??

  • Mine has gone 11 1/2 hours before requesting a recharge. OK, it's only a couple of months old.

  • ** Important Question** Will Google be releasing new versions of the Asus Nexus 7 tablet, year after year?

  • I made this update and everything goes perfect. Now the tab is faster and easier to use.

  • fanBoy Tegra note is better...!! ^__^

  • I don't have the 3G version and Its not compatible with mine.

  • yhh...its not gonna cause any problem... am using 4.42 now...so don't be scared

  • Yeahh Tegra is faster but it also heat fast ^__^and it will affect the quality and its life. and kindly check all features of nexus7 2nd gen and xolo before saying xolo is better. :D

  • Thanks for your feedback.

  • xolo play tegra note is much better.... fr 18k it has beast inside it tegra 4...! the resolution of tegra note is 720p so fps are more better in games....! one downside is 1gb ram..! nd i think nvidia will throw ota updates..! but google product will hav update 1st..... tegra 4 it will blow snapdragon s4 pro with adreno 320.... ! sry fans but this is the truth...! in many benchmarks tegra 4 has beaten snapdragon 800 so S4 pro chip is farr behind..! tegra note has nvidia directstylus too.! ;)

  • any feedback there for those who update their nexus 7 to 4.4.2 , any problem found? cause im afraid to update my nexus 7

  • Yes it is worth it to upgrade because it is a much faster tablet and has a high resolution display at 1920x1080. Everything will look a lot more crisp and clear on this tablet with that resolution. Even small letters you will have no problems reading/seeing it. High resolution display for a tablet is very important. Much better for your eyes. Less needed for zooming in and out.

  • Still using my Asus Google Nexus 7 (Generation 1 - 2012). The tablet is running Android KitKat 4.4.2. Is it worth upgrading to the 2013 version?

  • Your question/query has been answered million times before in these comments

  • Does Asus google nexus 7 have a facility of phone call and wassapp?

  • aahahahhah +100% to Asus Google Nexus 7 2013 try to compare the specs. you will see the big difference. :DD . really good for gaming and browsing thing :D

  • really confuse. xolo note or nexus 7 2..?????

  • Found Bug with its frontcamera. "DONT USE ANY MODE which are (night mode, day mode, etc) it will malfunction your front camera and it will affect the backcamera aswell. || "how to fix? just backup&restore ||

  • Is this tab makes call? And what about it's battery life?

  • Not all the games have OBB files. Heavy games either go to the directory /Android/Data/com.. or to /Android/Obb/com..

  • Its a very affordable and amazing tablet, blazing fast and superb screen resolution even i applied it with clear screen protector.. Battery improved compare to 1st gen.. 6hrs screen on for browsing, 4hrs when i played with games.. My only problem is i am afraid of screen, i think its easy to break.. So i handle it with tender loving care :)

  • Yes whatsapp works with it.. I use the LTE version and I have been able to install whatsapp on mine and it is working very fine. When ever you go to the play store to search for whatsapp with your nexus device you would not be able to find it there so you have to download it from the websites. If you don't have any website to go to,you can go to www.mobile9.com you would find whatsapp there. Download it into your device and install it.. Good luck bro.

  • I have this awesome device for a month and i can only say that you aint going to find anything bether than this, in this price range.

  • Please I want to know where the obb files of games are in nexus 7. Its not in android/obb/. I want to copy them to pc so that I don't have to download them again. I am running out of internal memory as I have 16GB. Any answer would be grateful.

  • is whatsapp available for nexus 7 3G version??how 2 download it?

  • Don't charge it while downloading big apps or games it heat up.

  • Hmm. yeah, i though soo.

  • Is there significant battery life difference between the WiFi and LTE versions......?????

  • Or wait for the next update. I got 4.4.2 today

  • hmm, yeah,, i already tap the option of front camera. but it's blank screen. but when i choose back camera. it is working. ^__^. may i should backup & restore it. :D

  • yes sim and 2g 3g 4g

  • there an asus care center in nigeria

  • Since u have updated to 4.4, I guess its because the front camera menu doesn't show up if u just tap and hold on screen. There is a button next to Capture button on the camera screen, and it gives u the front camera option.

  • cau you use a sim with this product to call and send messages?

  • hMmmm! im having a problem with my front camera. it is not working anymore. :( anyone having a problem with this tab? "lets share what we experience on this tab."

  • Charge it till it shows battery full, after that you can put it on and start using it.. good luck bro.

  • Guys, how long do I need to charge it before I turn it on? I just bought one but have not turned on yet. please tell me as soon as possible. I can't help myself.....

  • Wooa! just finished updating my n7 to 4.3JB and after a week i got 4.4kitkat! woaa!! tnx to Google for being good provider of this tab!. ^_____^ i always got update

  • for 1month of using this tab(wifi only) nothing wrong with its screen and the performance is really nice till now. it has LTE 32GB that can do calls & sms.

  • if nexus 7 2nd gen already available on cellular? it is already available the 3G/4G version here at TAIWAN?

  • Isn't able to make calls.

  • im plannin to buy ths tab. does t hav callin facility? is it worth to buy? if not pls giv me a reason n suggest me sme other tab wid callin facility

  • Can anybody tell me, is the 32 gb lte version is able to call? Is it calling tab?

  • I bought a nexus 7 2013 this monday. I have used it with extreme care. Earlyer this day I put it down on my desk to upload some files on it. I pick it up and out of nowhere there is a hairline crack in the screen just the same way as you describe it with yours. Everything inside does not work. What a dissappointment

  • Your screen cracked automatically? How? Automatically?

  • Worst tablet ever,screen cracks automatically due to design flaw

  • Try resetting the password using Google Android Device manager It worked fine for me for resetting the password. You may have to set permissions (as Device Administrator) for the Android Device manager in Settings of your Tab/Phone.

  • ahahahah!!! you didnt put 2nd password when the tab forgot your password which is (pin or pattern)

  • I have forgot my face recognition password.... How can i reset it........? I can open my tab cz it can recognize me. But i want to disable it. For this i need to enter the password again. What can o do.....? Is there any other option than factory reset? Plz help

  • can dere be calling using n7???

  • They have to be first downloaded in your computer, and then side-loaded to your Nexus. Google Play store doesn't show these apps in its store for tablets.

  • When is N7 cmg into market for purchase.

  • Hi, Can someone confirm if WhatsApp / Viber can be installed straight out of the box on Nexus 7 (3G) with 3G SIM card?

  • hi, can we use whatsapp or wechat on nexus 7(LTE)..???

  • Wooaa!! really? hmm pretty good then. but my n7 2013 doesnt has an update for kitkat until now. maybe coz i just updated after a day that i bought it to 4.3JB. so till now no update ^__^ but now im a bit excited to update it. tnx for those information..

  • How can I use what'sapp in N7 16 GB plzzz helppp mee

  • To use Whatsapp: Install Go SMS Pro app from Google Play Store, and after that install Whatsapp. Whatsapp will ask for your country and mobile number, insert your mobile number in the space provided(like I use a Nokia 101 and a Nexus 7, my sim is in my Nokia and I provided whatsapp with the number that I was using in my Nokia). You will receive a verification code on the number you provided(your other phone). Enter the code on whatsapp and BOOM

  • Performance with Kit kat is a bit better than Jelly Beans. Apps load a bit faster (I feel that) and the battery has been optimized. With JB I got around 1 day with normal usage (by normal usage I mean playing games twice/thrice a day, use viber,whatsapp, do some browsing, play songs for three to four hours) but with KitKat the battery life is enhanced, Im getting around day plus 10 to 15 hours(normal usage). Now I don't have to charge my N7 everyday. Plus the Google Experience Launcher with transparent nav and status bars is too awesome. Without the Launcher, you won't notice much differences (visual wise) b/w JB and KK. Finally, I had some issues with random reboots (almost once or twice a day) with JB, which have resolved in Kit Kat.

  • Is GPS issue resolved?

  • How can I use what'sapp in N7 16 GB plzzz helppp mee

  • I have used copy file transfer via Bluetooth, no problem. Just pair devises. Can be a bit slow going from cell to my.

  • ohh.. Hmm, i'll download MX player then. anyway aneef are you using kitkat version now? how's the performance? and the battery aswell. i heard to much negative comments about kitkat. so 4.3 is better that 4.4 XD

  • What is the difference between nexus 7 second gen 32GB dbgadget and 7 second gen 32gb nexus of drug widgetcity why put micro-sim nexus 7 second gen dbgadget why the widget can put the micro-sim also the same price 13,500

  • What is the difference between nexus 7 second gen 32GB dbgadget and 7 second gen 32gb nexus of drug widgetcity why put micro-sim nexus 7 second gen dbgadget why the widget can put the micro-sim also the same price 13,500

  • Yes MX player supports every video format. It doesn't play the audio from the video files that need DTS codec, but that problem can be solved easily by manually loading the codec from XDA website. Just Google DTS codec for MX player.

  • It supports USB OTG with "USB OTG DISK EXPLORER PRO" application, which is available in Play Store. It doesn't even need rooting your tablet.

  • for 2 weeks of using this tab. its good when browsing and gaming. really fast. i play for about 6hours and its feel hot but when i make a break for about 1min the heat easly gone. :D

  • 32GB N7 2nd is enough, the speed and the performance of N7 2nd is better. however the N7 2nd gen doesnt have a case for now. :DDDDD. wtf. thats the only problem that i hate the most. no case for this tab!! :D

  • Woaahh!! really? good thing i bought wifi only.^__^ just for game and browsing. i can play game and browse aswell. :D

  • There is no bug indeed, it actually doesn't support USB OTG. Since Google doesn't want external memory in stock android, they doesn't offer OTG on nexus devices. But after rooting, you can access OTG by XDA MODS.

  • No it doesn't have cellular voice call facility.

  • Which tab? N7.2 for $179 or Asus Memo HD7 for $119? Bought both but can't decide. N7 has better screen and is quicker. Memo feels better in hand, has softer colors, and has 32GB mem slot.

  • Bought this tab yesterday. Excellent display, fast processing speed, good for video calling and gaming. Best Buy.. Go for it. 9.5 out of 10.

  • i am thinking to buying this asus google nexus 7 2013,but i want to know that is this tab really coming with calling facility like samsung tab2?

  • Pros: Display is sweet. High res makes every detail visible. Sharpest display with awesome viewing angle. Sound quality is also great to meet its display. Cons: No mobile call facility. No expandable memory. Bezels should have been slimmer.

  • I am planning to bye this tablet but I am concern only about one thing in some reviews it is mentioned that it supports USB OTG (or USB Host) but in some it is mentioned that it dose not support OTG, I have even found some user's review saying that there is BUG in the device due to which it dose not read external storage devices i.e. pen drives etc., Please I want reply from the actual user of the device and not from some one just reading the review of experts and commenting on others query after that.

  • does this device come with Glonass?

  • Thank u.

  • Does the lte 32gb version works with europeans sim-cards? i mean the version google sells for 349$ ????

  • Don't buy the 3G/LTE version, you will lose your money. it hasn't phone dialer, and you only can receive sms. till the moment i can't use the internet using my sim card even i adjust the internet setting with the customer support more than once.

  • ahmm.. i dont have MX Player yet for Videos. Does MX player support VLC and other player of movies? unfortunetly im not using android kitkat as of now. i havnt recieve update for 4.4(kitkat) :D just 4.3. and i dont want update it coz i dont wanna drain more battery even the performance will be maximize. :D

  • ohh ok.. ohh i thought i can charge my tab for about 1km. XD.. if that so. no need to buy a wireless charger. it would be useless.

  • VLC movie mode is doing issues in Kitkat 4.4, use MX Player for Videos, it has got the immersion mode integration of Kitkat

  • The orb Qi Wireless Charger costs around 70$ while the other one costs around 16-20$, see Amazon for the prices and other details. You have to put your phone/tab on the charger. ­

  • i need help guys :), my rooted nexus 7 2nd gen updated to android 4.4 krt16s successfully, then i tried to open my super su but its not working anymore, i installed a root checker app in playstore and the app says that i have no root access anymore, does it mean that my device isn't rooted anymore? if its so how can i completely remove super su from my N7?

  • No you can't. The LTE variant is only available in 32 GB

  • You can choose either LTE version of 16gb and 32gb that you can insert sim ex.(2G or 3G or LTE sim) just dont higher than LTE coz the LTE is higher signal for this tab.

  • im a heavy gamer too. and im playing plant vs zombies 2 for about 5-6hours then charge it again for about 3hours to get 100%. you can't remove the battery on it.

  • can I use a 3G or 2G micro SIM card in the one that comes with 16 GB storage ($229)..???? pls someone ans me as soon as possible.

  • M planning to buy this tab but I wana know the battery performance of this tab. Can someone please share the battery life of this tab? M a heavy gamer. Can we remove the battery?

  • Yes you can. I'm doing exactly that now.

  • Yes, you can.

  • Can I use my Galaxy S2 tethering option to tether my 3G internet into the Nexus 7? I hope you understand what I mean. Thank you :)

  • I've been using asus google nexus 7 2013 2nd gen for about 2weeks from now. hmm nothing wrong with the touch, it's charging well and about apk hmm. i'd play VLC movie mode. it is not working. i dont know the other. but i'll let you know as soon as possible about video. :D I can play maximum of 5hours of plant vs zombie 2 with the normal brigthness with maximum sound effect.

  • Hi All I am planning buy a tab and i almost decided to buy N7 2013, but then i came to know about the various issues with this tablet like.. touch, charging and apk (some apps are not supported on this device)..is it resolved now with the update or still there? I see that some of you are using this for some time now, please let me know your inputs.

  • No

  • navotech from malaysia

  • If you read carefully, you'll find that it has a front facing camera which means it supports video calling. Yes it supports instagram too and the LTE version is bound to have a sim card slot. Hope that helps :)

  • Do you have any idea about the cost of Wireless Qi Compatible Charger. and can you explain to me how far can i charge my tab using wireless charger? thanks in advance.

  • Buy a Wireless Qi Compatible Charger, Turn NFC on in ur Tab and place ur Tab on the charger.

  • there is an LTE Version

  • I didnt try to use skype yet. but it has secondary camera 1.2MP. it has also bluetooth. about the simcard. if you want to insert sim. choose LTE version that support simcard slot. (wifi only = no simcard slot (USD 200) and LTE version has slot for simcard (USD 230) ^__^

  • Dose this 4g Model of nexus 7 Supports call facility???

  • You can use it to share a Bluetooth PAN connection.

  • I have noticed that WiFi-hotspot is available in the settings in the non-cellular nexus 7(2013) 16GB Model. This is however useless since hotspotting requires the wifi antenna, giving the tablet no way to get internet No idea why it has it.

  • Hello. I just want to know if this tablet support skype videocalling, instagram, bluetooth file sharing from tablet to smartphone and simcard slot for 3g ? Thank you.

  • Yes! all kind of signal is already in LTE Signal. it means it is already INCLUDED.just not above LTE or else you cant...

  • how can i use "wireless charging" of this tab? i didnt see Wireless charging application :(

  • This device negative comments: about the battery of this tab is kinda fast on draining, specially when i play pvz2. :DD. but not really discourage. Positive comments: I got my Nexus 7 2nd gen (32GB 2GB RAM) few days ago and i really like it coz its really fast and smooth when it comes on playing games. im playing Descp 2 and plant vs zombie2. +1 for this tab.

  • The update to Android 4.4 Kit-Kat updated overnight, and i think it's better then ever; enjoy!

  • It is officially out on the Google Play store, you can buy it from there. OR You can buy it from eBay India.

  • Hell lot better then any tablet in its price group I compared this with the tab 3 7.0 that thing Lagged hell lot and this,this was hell smooth it was as fast an iPad 4 not as fast as the air or 2nd mini but pretty close remember everything for just 199$ for 16GB I'd recommend the 32GB cuz that's just 239$ now I will only get the nexus 7 3rd gen if it has the following specs Quad core 2.5GHz krait 450 snapdragon 805 3GB ram Adreno 420 Demonsions (7.74X4.44X0.29) 285 grams 7.2 inch screen 1600X2560 res 249$ 16GB

  • No, that version supports data connectivity through SIM card, but not cellular call. -As per my conversation with Google Nexus Support Team.

  • I use Sygic Navigation for that. As I have WiFi only version, and no LTE data.

  • The Nexus 7 2013 (2nd Gen) has a RAM of 2 GB. That shopkeeper doesn't know sh**.

  • Just got the KitKat update this morning for my 2013 LTE Nexus 7. Still waiting for my 2012 WiFi Nexus 7 to receive the update.

  • Yes it does.

  • Please friends its very urgent.. does the new nexus 7 LTE version support 3G sim card browsing, because in my country we don't have 4G network. Please reply friends, thank you very much as you do..

  • I went from a store yesterday here in the phillipines and i asked them if they have asus google nexus 7 2nd gen. with 2gb ram, but sad to say they told me that 2gb ram is not exsisting. only 1Gb ram. asus doesnt has a 2g ram for this tab?

  • Does this device has turn to turn voice guided navigation..???

  • Problem connecting bluetooth android 4.3-4.3.1. keep on disconnecting my bluetooth keyboard.

  • there are different versions available in the market in particular 3 versions (in india don't know about other country markets) 2 are wifi only and one is with calling option (which is the costliest one) so you can bye accordingly.

  • This is a tablet, not a smartphone! The borders should be this way because there are a lot of people with big hands, that have to hold the device. This is pure functionality.

  • Very thick border around the display. This is where Samsung is best. Their devices are very small. Asus should learn.

  • Every game can be played on this Tab. I've tested from Angry Birds to Modern Combat 4 and N.O.V.A 3, and every game works flawlessly, zero lags.

  • No u can't. The only option is to buy a USB portable charger. U can't change its battery

  • i have a question about games application. how can i know if the game is right for nexus 7 2013? is there any requirements to play those game on this tab? im just newbie with this tab.

  • Hi, is there anyway to change its battery or upgrade it to a better one. i want this tab. but i dont like the battery of it any advice with this concern?

  • Yes, with an OTG cable, preferably one which simultaneously accepts power. With Power: Without Power:

  • No

  • No

  • Can this device play HD video captured on Note 3 or any other high end device? Would appreciate some feedback on this. And also what about other video formats like Divx, WMV formats? Would Nexus 7 play those format as well?

  • can we make phone calls through cellular network in nexus 7

  • Is call facility available on lte version?

  • Can I use usb dongles with nexus 7, please reply ?

  • Battery life in KitKat 4.4 (idle mode) in N7 is awful. With Jelly beans, my Nexus 7 2013 in idle mode lost only 4-5% of charge over the night, with Kitkat it loses around 20%. WTH! May be that's because I am using Google Experience Launcher. Will try using the stock launcher..

  • I didn't have the issue of Phantom touch with Jelly beans 4.3.1, but the issue of Phantom touch occurred once with Kitkat, but restarting the tab solved the problem. The random reboot issue I was facing in Jelly beans is resolved in Kitkat!

  • Any problem you guys encountered with this tab? any positve or negative comments please. Your answer would be highly appreciated. thanks

  • Can Someone tell me if Nexus 7 screen problem solved in 4.4 KitKat or not? Thanks before

  • Google it. There's lots of websites you can buy it from, duh.

  • where did i get please reply me?

  • Argh! i've been trying more than 1 week figuring how to let my nexus 7(2013) shows the mouse pointer. I was able to use my bt mouse at the 1st time connected to N7 but after disconnect and reconnect it again, it does not works anymore. i have try to unpair and pair it again several times, restart my device, it did paired with N7 but it doesn't shows the pointer on the screen. i am sure my bt mouse works well, i am able to use it on my pc and SGS 3 but not my N7 after disconnect it. Anyone having this issue too?

  • Which model are you talking about??? please can you mention the site where i can find it?

  • Asus Google Nexus 7 2 Cellular, best tab so far..

  • Asus Nexus 7 3 my opinion about the specs 1600X2560 resolution Quad core 2.5 GHz krait 500(?) 3GB ram LPDDR4 ram Adreno 420GPU(?) Demonsions (7.64X0.30X4.31) Weight:268G LTE : 272G Android 5.0/4.5 249$ for 16GB 279$ for 32GB 359$ for LTE + 32GB model If these specs become true I'll surely ditch my iPad mini retina display

  • yes....kitkat update solved mine

  • you can use USB cable to connect your nexus to laptop or use AirDroid app in your nexus and will connect via wifi to laptop. download it at google play and use this sofware.this is a best software for transfering and full access between Pc and Android device.

  • how can i data transfer from laptop to nexus 7??? I try but i fail. Please help me.

  • Obviously nexus 7 can't use gsm connections, so if bigger screen and no 2g is not a problem, then u should definitely get it. And please don't compare an apple to an orange. Both are devices of different categories. I had an HTC sensation xe before my nexus and believe me nexus 7 is worth every buck of its price. It even fits Ur jeans' pocket. Games are lag free, display is stunning. Final call is urs.

  • I have galaxy s III and i want to buy nexus 7 2013 but i don't know buy it or not.because my phone feature are best even cpu of galaxy s iii is better than nexus 7 2013. help me and get your opinion for buy or not. thanks alot

  • Installed the OTA update of 4.4 kitkat. Not much visual changes as my expectations were quite high. No transparent status and navigation bars either. Side loaded Google search and Google experience launcher apks from android police website and now the status and navigation bars are transparent as well as the menu. Also the hotword OK Google starts Google now from the home screen after installing the apks. Overall the experience is smooth. Let's see as time goes by.

  • "We Need Portability....Not Hassles". Until you are sitting watching your pictures, videos, FLASH video, you tube and games on your huge flat screen TV all running off of your DOMO Slate X3G 4th - you can't understand how amazing this tablet is for, less than, half the cost of some of the others.

  • Me neither got the update

  • Check out this blog.

  • This device does have Wi-Fi direct on it. Setting->Wi-Fi->options (3 verticle dots)->Wi-Fi Direct

  • Sound quality is average through headphones. Depends mostly on the headphones being used. When I used this Tab with Beats Solo HD, sound was extremely good! But with my Sony earphones, it's just average.

  • Did anyone get the KitKat 4.4 OTA update yet on their Nexus 7? No updates yet in Pakistan

  • Yes you can use USB modem with Its OTG cable

  • yes it supports USB otg....

  • never update OS. try to satisify with what you have. because if you update OS, it will become unstable and the device wont listen to you.

  • yes the latest nexus 7 2013 has HDMI port....which is same as charging port. all u need to do is buy a HDMi cable

  • How is the sound quality thru headphones?

  • guys.....can i use internet via USB modem on the nexus 7 WiFi version?

  • yeah by connecting it via bluetooth with android phone and an app required for this is tablet talk..download it on both devices

  • hi to all, i want to know how much memory left for storage after system and programs have been installed could any one help me with his ????

  • is it possible to receive call on nexus 7 2013..??? Plz answer me...

  • Nexus 7 is a good one for you,but you could wait for the new nexus 10 wich will be released soon. You could also think for the samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition wich is great for documents and editing or the ipad mini 2 wich isn't so god for documents but is great for skype,browsing and gaming,and it really is cheap

  • On another website it says that the nexus 7 has an HDMI port. Is it true?

  • Not yet!

  • Are GPS & display(touch) problems solved?

  • Is this supported of usb otg and usb flash drive. Bluetooth to send and received files?

  • no sir thats not possible but still this piece of equipment is the best available for the given price

  • Can we make call on this tablet without wifi...?? i.e. cellular calls.... please help bec i cant see an earpiece

  • I am owning this Tab and this is one of the best tab out there in the market for a less bang on pocket. It has the highest hardware and an excellent design and best part is it directly comes from Google.

  • Yes possible require latest flash player should be download, tnx

  • High resolution, lightweight, fast processing, and a good battery, this is the perfect 7-inch tablet...

  • Is the OS up-gradable to 4.4 Kitkat??

  • Yes, of course you can use 3g sim cards for it.

  • Go for samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition...

  • Hi gays,can posible wach stream videos on tablet, example - streamhunter sport game live mach ? Thanks !

  • can someone help me please with my new nexus 7, i cant used the google play application, the message is RETRY, its like no internet connection. but thats imposible because i can browse using the google chrome, watch youtube. so internet connection is not the problem.

  • YOu have to have 3g model

  • can u make a phone call,use whats app with asus google nexus 7 pls reply

  • I'm eagerly waiting for a stylus like Samsung galaxy note 3 to use it on my nexus tablet but wonder if the pointed stylus like this may work flawlessly..?

  • I just reinstall the nexus media viewer & voila ! It's working perfectly. Thanks.

  • Can i use Bluetooth headset to make calls in LTE version or making calls is impossible as the function is not exist?

  • umm... can this one do 'video call'??

  • most likely...there's even hotspot settings on wifi version though it doesn't have 3g/4g connectivity..meaning it is usb dongle ready after root..just my theory though.. will test in the future after successful root..

  • nexus 7 has removed the word "lag" in its dictionary.. XD

  • The best tablet you can get for the price. Has some few minor issues that a future update can solve, hopefully. Best for gaming, reading ebooks, web surfing etc. Can't get my hands off of it. I love it. :)

  • Anyone knows how to open thumb drive(Exfat) like Samsung galaxy S3 does? My Nexus rooted and i can't open files and folders on my thumb drive. Starting to regret on buying this device.

  • Yes it has International Warranty from ASUS, but in order to claim the warranty, shipping charges has to be paid by the customer for sending and receiving, so for people living in Pakistan and India, claiming the International Warranty becomes too expensive.

  • Which app are you using for it? Use Nexus Media Importer or Total Commander browser. If u want to test that whether the OTG is working perfectly or not, u can also use the Nexus Photo Viewer app

  • i am having the samr issue whant to know

  • Can i use internet with (2G network) ??

  • I connected pen drive through usb cable though my nexus doesn't seem to find it anyway ! What should I do now?

  • Yes but only in Nexus 7 LTE Version

  • Yes :( But OTG does the make up

  • You can use Internet without Wi-Fi because it has GSM data transfer (GPRS and EDGE).

  • can this device(lte version) be used as a hotspot to provide wifi for my laptop?

  • The only ripoff in this tablet is the lack of having a micro SD slot.

  • can i use internet without wifi?

  • its a micro sim ..not a mini sim

  • This is an awsom tablet.what is your opinion?

  • Yes Internet connectivity can be achieved using 3G too in nexus 7 Lte version

  • yes..but its a mini sim card...instead of 4g u get 3g

  • Is there any hotspot in Asus Google Nexus 7 2 Cellular with 3G/4G?????

  • Can its calling or message someone?????!!!!!!!!!!

  • let me know from nexus 7(2013) 3g model we can call

  • Lte is not yet available in our area.. But still want to buy the nexus 7 lte version.. Can i use other kinds of sim aside from lte sim? Is it possible that i can still connect to internet postpaid using 3g?

  • If you get the LTE model it will support data/net connection via your sim card but no sms or calls.

  • Bro, LTE is a mobile communication standard. Any tab that mentions LTE in its model name, supports sim facility.

  • Does nexus 7 2013 have international warranty? I am also planning to buy it from US. Will I get its warranty in India? Pls reply @ [email protected]

  • Does thissupport SMS and mobile network Calls???

  • Huge incorrect info posted abt this tablet it has micro sim card it was never specified it has only in the LTE version . I got mine not LTE version (bec no one specified )so i works only on wifi / the 1st gen of Google had micro card even if it wasnt mentioned

  • What does it means in specification? GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - all versions

  • does it have the calling facility ? i am a bit confused on that

  • It supports microsim and u cant make normal calls on any version of nexus 7 2013(including 4g lte version).so for calling u have to install viber or skype....but rmber one thing that its a tab not ur phone..

  • Yes anchan it does support OTG

  • Is Nexus 7(2013) Support OTG(on-the-go)?

  • Both WiFi and LTE versions do NOT make phone calls or send messages unless you download apps like viber or Skype.

  • Can i use it for texting? i'm form the philippines and i want to use it with a smart sim :) thanks!

  • do this provide calling facility using cellular network services , not internet calling over skype etc. ???? in first generation Google Nexus 7c is not possessing this facility ...

  • I'd like to point out that the battery is a Litihium-Polymer and not a Litihum-Ion.

  • What's old in it? How is it old? Full HD is old? Or the 2 GB ram? Or 4.3 jelly beans?

  • This table is really good. I like screen and speaker. Google should increase battery capacity on 3rd nexus 7.

  • @ Manav, from where u bought this ? bbz Its not available in India yet.

  • No it can not.

  • very old tablet, wait for 3rd generation tab , nothing special in nexus 7

  • is it possible to make a gsm call (regular call) from nexus 7 LTE version? is there any supporting application to make it?

  • I bought one today, it's very smooth and works great. I bought the LTE version. There is no calling feature. It is just a tablet.

  • The LTE version cannot make Phone calls or SMSs, LTE is only used for Internet Connectivity in Nexus 7 LTE.

  • Are you sure that we can make normal phone calls with the LTE version of Nexus 7 2013 ?

  • Any Nexus 7 LTE (2013) owner here? Wanted to know if the LTE version can make a normal GSM phone calls. What i know with Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7/8 3G/4G versions are capable to make normal GSM calls. Nexus 7 LTE will be the best and the most powerful device if it allows us to make normal GSM call with sim cards. Imagine a 350$ device with a phone/tablet, 1080p HD IPS and Quad-cor Processor. Will be the best everyday carry single device which can do everything for you.

  • This is not a "normal" phone, it's called a tablet. You can do sms and calling on the lte version

  • it is 2gb ram

  • # This Nexus 7 LTE uses regular size SIM or mini SIM? # Cant I make call from this LTE version? # If anyone is using this 2013 Nexus 7 version, pls share ur experience with us.

  • wishing they would release it earlier though ..

  • thanks for the advice ,i'm going to wait for april 2014 but i hope they don't price it very high ending up with nothing ,like when i passed note 2 for the note 3... :) thanks again.

  • 2gb ram

  • 2 GB. Read the specs

  • is it 1gb ram or 2 gb ram?

  • does this phone has sms and calling facility..?? like a normal phone???

  • Exactly my question. Security reasons may be :P

  • No it doesn't support SMS or voice calls. Only VoIP calls can be made using softwares like viber,line,etc

  • WiFi only version has support for Wi-Fi only. You cannot use 3G on it. If your subscription from your service provider has LTE support them Nexus 7 LTE is the right choice for you

  • Can I change to LTE version. Because it support Sim that is useful for my work?

  • Does it support sms or phone calls?

  • Why they do not supported to access the usb OTG directly?

  • I am getting the Wi-fi version of this tab in the nearest shop. Not know whether the cellular version released? Does the 3G network is only available in cellular version? I prefer to use internet with 3G sim. How can I use internet in this device without Wi-fi option? Please someone help me deciding to buy it now. Thanks in advance for the comments.

  • Thanks for updating me :)

  • All latest top brand devices including nexus have glonass.

  • Nexus 7 is very nice tablet but the Japan lives in another world, I was there last month, they have the Sharp Aquos Pad sh-08E, 7 inch 1920X1200, IGZO screen that is 80-90% more energy savings, equal to the nexus processor but with 1.7GHz, 64GB internal , SD slot, 4G network, telephone, digital tv, need to say more? But unfortunately all this is only for sale in Japan, this country is wonderful!
