Bought the 16gb model for $170 a few days ago. Pretty happy with it

After several months, my rooted N7 slowed down. Slower than a Galaxy Nexus. Read many reports that Asus opt for low quality flash memory chips. No fix other than selling it away.

Once a week I ran LagFix which improved the situation a bit. But after few days or sometimes hours, back to square one.

I will avoid all Asus products for now. It is back to Samsung or Sony products. Too bad Tablet Z no 7" version. Sure sell like hot cakes.

How come this is possible? The read / write speed became slower or the Mhz become slower for these chips? I'm not a programmer but these digital things shouldn't deteriorate ...?
Is it because there are too many data which the device hold that it causes lag in read / write process?
What happen if you factory reset it?

I know on some devices, once your storage is low (or if you store a lot of data / pictures / videos / esp databases for chat apps) you will experience some lag. However factory reset or purging old or unused data will make things fast again.

the thing i ponder about is that DO ALL NEXUS 7 suffer from that asus NAND memory budget crap?

Wow good deal, gotta check it out.
I've just been offered a RM799 for 32gb version.. I checked Rm699 is price for most 16gb units.
if add RM1 can get 32GB this may be the one for me then.. 
Stock 4.2.2, impressive.. how do you root? Planning to buy this soon.
So it's like data all over the place, bad fragmentation I supposed.. Android doesn't have defrag? I lazy to check Google play.. but if have then it may be the cure for this laggyness hehe.. 

Went to Digital Mall today, checked out the 32GB version, selling @ RM1k  what a rip off.. I just tested some browsing. Felt the screen is still small heheh... maybe go visit other places and try try again see if the feeling is right. The Samsung Note 8 on the other hand is so gooding.. the screen size is just right I think. But of course big price tag differ...

Whoopeeee! Got my Nexus 7 from SenQ at only RM699! :

3G + 32GB
