It's important to me
Nexus devices never have SD storage though. It's always been like that and I doubt it's gonna change. Also, there were ways you could attach e.g. a USB drive to your Nexus 7, maybe that'll work with the new one as well. Not saying it's optimal or anything, but it could be useful.

Nexus One did

As someone who actually uses it on their phone, it's pretty damn nice. It's like one of those presents you get that you would never actually buy yourself because you can't justify the expense in your mind, but if someone else bought it for you you would love it and use it all the time.
Does anyone know what wireless charging standard they're going to use on this?

Wonder how the new nexus 10 will look too,
True.
But unfortunately, all the other Nexus', Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, 7, 10, didn't. The chance this one will have one is about 0.00000000000001%. The reason why i'll never buy a Nexus device. They really want to promote their cloud service so bad? I have no interest in the cloud. Some of their devices with only 8GB storage are just laughable. With no expansion slot, everything under 32GB is a joke.

Yeah I've come the realization that it will never happen for nexus devices a long time ago I was just point out that the n1 had it
Better processor and higher quality screen(720p is fine as a resolution for device this size imo) is all i want from this. The HW design of Nexus 7 is great so i don't mind if they don't change it up much.
One added bonus that I wish they would add is smarter way to wake up the device. The 'no home button' mentality of Google is boneheaded if they don't have better way to give access to the device than hunting power switches. Why doesn't my finger on the capacitive screen wake up the device?

i gotta admit... one thing i hated when i got my Note 2 was having a physical button instead of all capacitive buttons on previous US galaxies... but now... man, the home button to wake the screen is soooooooooo super convenient!

is that a SlimPort requirement, because i know it's not a requirement for MHL...
Dunno how it does it, but when I open the flap of my book-type nexus 7 cover the device automatically wakes up.
Think that is done with a magnet.
On my Xperia Tablet Z you can wake it similarly IIRC, but you can also just double tap the screen.
Gonna stop by Best Buy(Been a long while since I been in one) to check it out.

Hmm, do I update my 2 year old iPad to this or hope for a retina iPad mini?
Screen resolution is cool. 16GB is terrible though. They are going with a 32GB version as their biggest size again? They should do 32 and 64GB. Anything less is useless imo. What's up with the huge bezel?

Pretty big bezel but whatever. Nice to see that lower notification light

Do these ever have cellular use? Like can I get a Verizon 4G one?

resolution... the last hardware detail!?
That was like the first confirmed detail.
Where does this come from?
The Faceless Master
Member
it was just confirmed, everything else was speculation and hope.
Hmmm...I don't think that's confirmation exactly. But we do know they were planning on an LTE version so it wouldn't surprise me.
Well I'm selling my iPad 2 then while I can still get a good price for it. I had a first gen Nexus 7, liked it, but wanted to try out a iPad. After using it about a year, I'm done with apple's walled garden and I'm ready to head on back to Android.
This pushed me to sell and I'll be hunting down the nexus 7 like I did last year, on day one lol.

benchmark and spec apps show 2GB RAM
What the fudgeocity.
Why is the bezel so big at the top and bottom? And why not use that for speakers instead of lameo back speakers >.<
And the bezel is so I assume people can hold it sidewise... but then the speaker is just there under your hand... fffff...
Honestly, if thats it, I would probably pass. So much unused space + software buttons.... ew..

Can't wait to buy the fuck out of this thang. Looks to be the perfect 7 incher.
If the software buttons annoy you that much, they can be turned off pretty easily.

Its a 9+ incher with a 7 inch screen >_<
Software buttons only annoy me if they waste space. If there is a 1inch bezel, then they annoy me cause they should just be put there on their own instead of taking up screen estate.

Have you used the nexus 7 before? I find it's quite comfortable to hold.
I have one. But the bezel on that is nothing compared to the tops and tails of this >.<

Real question for me: does this have a front-facing speaker?
Pleeeeease.
Pleeeeease.
TouchMyBox

They look like the exact same dimensions to my glancing eyes.
If thats the real pic, then no ><
I cant buy something without front facing speakers now too, they are so much better, both my note 10.1 and my htc one have front facing speakers, they are so much better, cause thats where da ears are >_>
