Is a Nexus 7 worth it at this point? There's a good deal at a shop here and it's really tempting, but on the other hand there are all these rumors of a N 7 2 being announced soon, so yeah..but I wanted to ask you guys if it's worth buying now, or wait? Thanks!
If you like it and want it now, get it. Price is already low... Otherwise wait.
technology moves on. My chinese G3S phone has slightly faster performance. Planning on gaming? or just need a tablet?

A little bit of both. I plan on making it my primary device to play Android games, watch some movies, read comics etc. Could a Nexus 7 2 be THAT much better? I imagine it would have the new Snapdragon 600, maybe 2 gb ram. hmm..
nexus 7 is really worth buying. go for it.

If the N7 was on special like £100 maybe...but still the same price at the time of release?

So any suggestions you want to give? I have only 1% of knowledge about Android's..
my advice.....wait. The nexus s is a great little device that is obviously future proof since it gets the updates but I'd wait for nexus 3. Its still all rumors with nothing technicallyconfirmed but no matter what, it will blow the roof off of android devices. It will come out before the end of the year. Its worth the wait imho
Wait for the next Nexus on Oct-Nov.

Galaxy S WiFi/Player 5.0
OK guys and gurls here it goes
Basically I have enjoyed my time with this community and have learnt a hell of a lot to do with ROM development and have therefore used this knowledge to create my own ROM for the Galaxy s WiFi 5.0, ICS-Crumble which I am humble has been downloaded alot of times and has received great support so a HUGE thanks there. It has also allowed me to port ROMs like Hydr0g3n and others.
There comes a time when we move on lol and unfortunately that time has come. Basically I don't really want to go into great detail on why ive sold the device but im heading to University in Sep and I have to pay £400 deposit now and then £9000 a year myself so i really need the money lol
So yea thats me saying im stopping development on my ROMs but im not leaving XDA completely (im still active on the Galaxy s2) . So thanks guys and hopefully i have contributed to this great device.
Peace out

Good luck with your degree and I understand that uni is expensive (I've been going to open days recently and its £9000 a year + living fees ) . I may also stop developing for the SGP as I'm getting a nexus 7. However I don't really want to abandon this device so I will try my best to continue devving here

Same with me, I will be receiving my HTC one s next week so I will probably be helping out with the development community over there. I won't abandon the galaxy player entirely, but most of my time and efforts will be spent over in the one s forums.
Thanks everyone for support! Too bad these galaxy players were never very popular with developers..

Wow this is a real consternation. Thanks people for all your support here . I think I will continue to be there until I get my nexus 7 too (just need the money).

I live in the UK and I can live with 16GB of space. I'm not abandoning the player but it will be much easier to develop for as it gets updates straight from Google.

Guess who's getting a nexus 7 as well.... It sounds like this community is about to completely fall apart . I will continue development for the 4.0, that is until school starts, then I will probanly be nexus only, if I start devving for it. I guess we all need to work really hard the next few weeks to get ics working before the nexus takes us away .

I've been reading through the specs for the Nexus 7 and the SGP 5.0 has slightly better specs in some areas.
The Nexus 7 only has b/g/n wifi but SGP has a/g/b/n so better wifi connectivity (faster, less interference on SGP)
SGP has a rear camera although it doesn't work on any ICS roms
The SGP has physical buttons (I don't like on-screen buttons so much)
The SGP has a micro-SD card slot
The SGP comes with an unlocked bootloader (Nexus bootloaders are easy to unlock with a fastboot command but it wipes data and can prevent ota updates)
However, the Nexus 7 is still an amazing device and I'm sorry for the slightly off topic post
No dude, don't stop yourself from getting a nexus 7 because of us! Face it; galaxy player hardware is 3 generations old, and with amazing devices like the nexus 7 coming out, the life of it is over. I don't think many people will choose a single core gingerbread device over a quad core jb device, so the galaxy player is finished, mostly. It was an epic device, and if Samsung had marketed it right, could have been a huge hit. To late, so time to move on. Even if I do get a nexus 7, I will probably keep up on my galaxy player, for sentimental purposes, lol!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Hey there,
The N4 is a stellar device! The price that Google is selling it is great, too.
If you can deal with the following:
No mico-sd card
No battery exchange
Smaller screen
No Pen
Other than that, everything else is an upgrade!
It also depends on what you bought the Note for originally. I bought it as a middle-ground of my phone and tablet so I didn't have to take two things around on normal days since I like to read manga and stuff.
Again, at that price, you could easily use the N4 until the next device comes out that you might want (e.g. S4 or Note 3 perhaps?) then sell the N4.
EDIT: Oh yeah, it's a Nexus device so less waiting games for updates if you like cutting-edge OS software. This is something I'm VERY interested in if the S4/Note3 don't do it for me, I'd think about the next Nexus. If the pricing is the same, it's a deal!
Well I got my nexus today and sold my note two days ago for 350 got nexus for 350 from somebody because long waits on shipping but my first thoughts untied unrooted is small feels small AT FIRST ONLY... Screen is beautiful sharp crisp it feels very nice in my hands my thumb reached both sides of keyboard again lol is fast as hell and so responsive and it is very sexy

They would have to use lower spec parts to fit with the Nexus Line prices.

I agree. It would be really nice to finally see these great phones running aosp without the need for a custom rom.
Hopefully, this one is going to come to Canada eventually...
Frankly I think it is good that they are doing this but I would rather have a nexus 5.
I'm hoping for nexus 4 prices with
2.3GHz processor
2+GB RAM
5.3 inch FHD Screen
32GB storage
Metal build
Key lime pie
Multi window
Then and only then will i replace my nexus 4. Dont really care about fhd though and the s4 is no faster than my OCed nexus 4
It will be incredible if google goes with the Exynos 5 Octa
Will this come with other features from the original s4?? Not the touch wiz but other stuff

I like the idea, but not the price (and based on the audience reaction...neither did they). I mean you can get an unlocked HTC One for around $560ish. From there, one could root/ROM it and be good to go. Now if the price drops to say $500 or less, I'd be willing to shell out the cash. Which I hope the price point will change. This is a great start to offering a bloat free device, without having to root/ROM it. This would be great if other manufacturers followed suit.
Good move nonetheless!
A true Nexus Samsung phone would be the only way I'd buy another Samsung phone. Getting rid of Touchwiz is easy, but I just can't deal with the lagging of releasing updates.
Boo... too expensive, too mainstream, to dang normal. Optimus g pro version would be nice that's bad ass or version of Sony z... both would be better all around and could be at $500 Google price. I was so disappointed! I just returned my nexus 4 thinking they were going to release something better. I'll stick with my note!!

Yeah right. No way it will be 249. The nexus 7 is 249. The nexus 10 will have to probably be same as first version. 399 for 16 GB and 499 for 32 GB. (Maybe you meant euros?) I don't know where your from but I'm talking about dollars. Anyways I think 100 bucks for 16 GB is too much more. But the cheapest variant will most likely be 399.
If there even is one because it hasn't been confirmed its just being assumed there will be a new version. Google could just make a whole new tablet

I've also seen articles saying 299... makes me question the quality of the tablet if it's set at that price.
For Snapdragon 800 I believe it's true, also 3GB RAM too. Now 1080p screen? Are you kidding me or what? Nexus 10 made it fame for its 2560x1600 screen, which is the main point for me buying mine. Also another thing we need to know is who will produce it. I wonder if will be Samsung again or Asus, if Samsung, it's pretty sure we will see an Exynos processor, like the current Nexus 10.
I don't mind paying 399 or 499 if its well built. I'd take that over a 299 device that's neutered for sure. I'm hoping there's a 64gb option.

Pretty sure it's been confirmed to be ASUS.
There's no way the new Nexus 10 is being released for $299. The new Nexus 7 was released for $229, which was $29 more than the original Nexus 7.
I'm guessing $399-$429 for the base model.
The screen will be 2560x1600, since the new Asus Transformer Pad Infinity (TF701T) has a 2560x1600 screen. No sense for Asus to make a lower res screen for a new tablet.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the new Nexus 10 is just the TF701T without the keyboard.

Yeah that it what I was thinking as well. I need a tablet now though. So its either a Nexus 10 or a Asus Memo Pad FHD. The Nexus is about $360 and the Asus is about $300
Nexus 5 will be unveiled in October the 14th. I can see them unveiling the Nexus 10 2 as well just like last year. Remember last year's unveiling was delayed by a hurricane and when the unveiling came Google produced all both devices and 4.2 at the same event.
It will be kit kat, N5 and N10 all on the same date I'm pretty certain.
Roll on the 14th.

No I can wait about 2 weeks. I need one by the end of this month. I do have a feeling though that they will only release the Nexus 5 this month and the Nexus 10 2 next month towards the end. Then I would have to pick a tablet before then.
