idk.

no physical keyboard, no thanks.

>>35437023

>>35437035

They do sell chromebooks.

>dat horrific top and bottom bezel...

>>35437012 (OP)

damn those bezels are fucking huge. Why cant they make them at least a little bit smaller.

Can you get a nexus 7 with the old back?
Because that'd be great

IGZO?

>>35437023

why don't you learn proper English ?

I was waiting for this

time to buy a Nook HD...

>>35437032
>Implying no other tablets have branding

>>35437096
Thinner bezel has to be made from stronger internal and external material, thus push the price higher.

>>35437075
Did you ever try to read a considerable amount of text using a bezelless tablet?
Either your fingers start hurting from holding the tablet like a polished piece of glass or you start scrolling up and down unintentionally.

>>35437342
>Tablet has Nexus written on it in a big font
>Some faggot asks what it is
>Some other faggot replies by pointing out that it has its name written on it
>You rush over over defending something no one was complaining about
Relax, shill.

I was hyped as shit for it, but then

>Snapdragon S4

They could've at least have gone with a Snapdragon 600. What we have here is last year's hardware in a new tablet.

For fucks sake I just bought a Nexus 7

32gb near enough new for like £160 I'm happy

Why do they advertise it standing up?
All tablet optimized apps are best in landscape, and the branding even indicates that it's a landscape device.
The bezels are ginormous and useless if the device isn't landscape either.
Android tablets want to be landscape.

>>35437437
Not 7" tablets.

7" tablets are best used in portrait, usually for reading or browsing the web.

The only time you use landscape on them is if you're watching a video or playing some games.

I just bought a Nexus 7 about a month ago. Should I keep it or attempt to exchange it for the new model?

Is it really worth upgrading?

>>35437469
It supposedly has 4 GB of RAM versus 1 GB.

And, as a current Nexus 7 owner from the first batch, I can say that it is lagging like hell because of the lack of available RAM.

>>35437486
Funny mine isn't laggy at all.

>back facing speakers
no buy

>>35437514
Give it half a year to a year, and it will.

Mine was smooth as fuck when I first got it too. Now, nothing I do can stop the lag.

again with that huge bezel, C'MON

There is a difference between "bezel-less" and the fuckhueg bezels this thing has.

Utterly disappointed... again.

>>35437514
>>35437534
Everything is smooth for a short period. Even my Galaxy Y.

resembles a iPod touch a lot, except the iPod had buttons.

>>35437486
>>35437514
Why would performance degrade like that?

Memory doesn't just turn to shit after half a year of use, or rather it isn't supposed to.

Do you run a lot of apps at the same time or something?

What's the thing by the button?
Looks like an SD-card slot.

>>35437576
The iPod touch has never had a plastic back or retarded bezels.

>>35437075
>dat horrific top and bottom bezel...
>>35437362
i agree, i used to think bezel was the ugliest, most disgusting thing ever but it doesn't bother me now.

The only alternative i'd like to see goog play with is intelligent "dead zones" on the corners of the screen when you're reading, browsing, watching media

>>35437597
volume?

>>35437635

>>35437554
I don't care how my tools look, as long as they get the job done.

>>35437630

>what is software finger rejection?

>>35437630
in fact, maybe there's an app for that. anyone know?

>>35437630
>The only alternative i'd like to see goog play with is intelligent "dead zones" on the corners of the screen when you're reading, browsing, watching media
What?

>>35437639

Sim tray

>getting upset that a cheap as fuck Chinese tablet is made cheaply

Fucking buy a premium device if this is an issue.

>>35437309
Why not the HD+?
Also, I myself preffer the hybrid over the emmc version since the nookOS got google play support in the last update and it's mostly ok except for lack of root which you can just install it by updating through a .zip file in recovery.

>>35437679
>software finger rejection
>>35437670
what this guy said

>>35437649
Bezel criticism isn't about "looks" you pleb.

Screen real estate should always be maximized as much as possible for increased efficiency.

Buy a Padfone infinity for specs and nobezels

Is that the new one? If so, stats? Link to announcement, anything really...

still don't like the all glass front

after using my nook hd+ for awhile i've started to appreciate a real bezel, glass fronts get dirty and feel like shit to hold

anyone with a hd or hd+ will know what i mean

>>35437708
where to hold the phone ?

>>35437708
>Screen real estate should always be maximized as much as possible for increased efficiency.
IT IS A FUCKING 7INCH TABLET!
If you want 10 inches buy a 10inch tablet.

>>35437756
This isn't a fucking hard concept.

The bezels on this are too big, even for a 7-inch tablet. see>>35437554

>>35437670
>>35437703
Oh, that could be neat.
>>35437708
If's it's a 7"er it's a 7"er. Saying you're prefer it be an 8"er is something else.

>>35437713

>>35437967
Dude, I've had this thing for a month and never owned an Android device before that, you seriously expect me to know anything about it?

>>35437986
no shit, sherlock

>>35438001
In all honesty, Cyanogen is way better than stock.

>>35437954
Snapdragon processors have a TDP of ~3 watts

Find the voltage of the battery and you'll find your answer

>>35438024
but the screen is the major power draw

>>35437999
But what if I received a really long email?
Was the old one the same way? How did it sell if so?
>>35438016
>Being this slow

>>35437012 (OP)

>>35438017
>way better

More like marginally better. I used nothing but custom ROMs for the past 3 years. On my Nexus 4 there's really not much that CM offers compared to stock that would be worth it.

>>35437981
They're wrong, android central has actual pictures of the device, the bezels are FUCK huge.

http://www.androidcentral.com/new-nexus-7-pics-video-specs

>>35438037
I think the old one has near the same battery capacity so it's up to the screen and processor efficiency.

Bezel is 100% wasted space. That's his point.

This tablet is a 7" screen in a 9" body.

>>35438042

>>35438042

>>35438042

>>35438063
>>35438057
people say this as if the nexus 7 hadn't had huge bezels too

>>35438063
>100% wasted space

How the fuck do you hold your tablet?

>>35438057
The press shot's bezels are way bigger than the pics from android central, just compare them.

>>35438063
some things that bezel is good for:
-more space for internal circuitry
-more area to hold onto without inadvertently interacting with software
-more space for structural components
-more space for battery

>>35438077
People gave the Nexus 7 a pass because it was the first of its kind in that price range.

Its been a year since then, people expect there to be improvements.

>>35438089
a 7" 1920x1200 screen is a pretty big improvement :\

>>35438089
What's a better 7" tablet in that price range?

>>35438111

>>35438111
There is none

Resolution is one thing, but they didn't need those retarded bezels.

>>35438138
That's a mirror you retard

>>35438088
The problem with that argument is that they could have fit in all the same components and size but used a larger LCD with thinner bezels.

huge fucking bezel

the ipad mini 2 will have almost no bezel

why is google going backwards?

The same way I hold onto everything else, the sides.

Why doesn't the iPad Mini have super-huge bezels? Oh that's right, they wrote 5 lines of code to negate the small bezels and stop accidental touches on the screen.

>>35438088
No, you're retarded.

All a tablet IS is a fucking screen as far as the user's concerned. Either shrink the bezel or stretch the LCD to the edges.

>>35438138
maybe they needed those bezels to fit a bigger battery to power that ridiculous resolution

>>35438168
No they didn't. WE HAVE FUCKING 1080P PHONES.

>>35438175
1080p phones are >$600
the Nexus 7 is around $200

>>35438183
What fucking difference does that make when it comes to power consumption, you stupid nigger?

>>35438183
What is your point?

LTE/other radios cost a lot. It also costs more to produce phones than tablets because of size, and the engineering design that you need to make all those radios work together.

Also
>implying theres a difference in GPU power consumption between a phone and a tablet. They run the same shit.

Well good thing we're talking about tablets and not a phone right? Your train of thought makes no sense in the context of this conversation.

What were you expecting? It's not a high-end tablet; it's some outsourced Chinese garbage. How else could they sell it so cheaply?

Why do you even care? The device itself is irrelevant when it comes to posting homescreens on /g/ all day.

>>35438383
Relatively speaking its above a mid range tablet, much closer to the high end. The reason why its so cheap is because first, yes they do obviously make cuts here and there. Secondly, they're not making much or any money on the tablet. They're pretty much breaking even and Google is taking a hit by subsidizing the cost so that eventually they'll make it all back with ad revenue.
