Not sure what you use your Nexus 7 for, but I only really watch videos and surf the net, so none of the improvements really make the extra cost worthwhile.
However, I tried to watch a video off a website the other day, and it just "stutter-stutter". I then tried watching it on my Nexus 4, and it played perfectly. So clearly it struggles with video. Also, web browsing can be very slow on some sites (using chrome but I like the functionality), and the overall responsiveness of the device is lacking compared to the Nexus 4. So the performance increases will make this a much nicer thing to use even if you don't use it for anything else. |

I paid £200 for my 16GB Nexus 7 2012 (as i believe it is now officially designated,) 12 months ago. so basically the same price.

A first thing I noticed was that Google had wizened up on that even and marketing. They went clever, be it a heck of a lot snipey. Here's yet another one.
"There are also the usual hardware bells and whistles you'd expect form a fondleslab these days: GPS.............." So it does in fact still have that GPS. I quite wonder if it gets more acknowledged this time. |

Has anyone got Android 4.3 yet?
It's supposed to be available today but I've just tried to update my N7 and it says there are no updates available. |

Well we now have the Telegraph running with Google's new tricks with this PPI thing and giving us
"Nexus 7: world’s highest resolution tablet" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...on-tablet.html Still no mention of that included GPS, now confirmed, but a slanted 1 out of 2 ain't too bad. |

![]() I'll continue to think that that 'world' accolade as likely as not belongs to the Nexus 10. Edit- you might just have missed that mobile discussion on PPI. Gormond was there and seemed to like the use of PPI, which I don't. The Telegraph is using PPI to aid that 'perception'. |

I've got the original Nexus 7 and am torn between waiting for the new one or getting a Nexus 10 to replace my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, which is showing its age on some modern games/apps now. Are there any suggestions of a new Nexus 10? I wouldn't want to get one only for an updated model to be released soon after.

Pretty much the same mate.

Post the web site so others can try. There are many factors.
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...35i+vs+A45+AMG Played OK for a bit but got slower and slower (but not buffering, just freezing). |

It is a topsy turvey world where I rely on the Sun and now Fox News for informative journalism,
http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/07/...-higher-price/ The multi user profiles are certainly improving. |

Doesn't really look like an upgrade for anyone who already has a Nexus 7.

Some good pics of it there too. 7 out of 10 for repair-ability is extremely decent for a tablet. |

Seems to be doing brisk trade on Ebay. Considering we're not going to see it here in the UK for another 8 weeks (which makes no sense!) i may be tempted.
