In just few hours time, Google going to open keynote with most likely launching of Next Generation of Nexus 7. The new Nexus 7 still being partner with ASUS, so we should expect same distribution channel and warranty .

Here is the timeline for Nexus 7 tablets:-

1. First Gen Nexus 7 was revealed on June 27, 2012, at Google I/O. Two models of the Nexus 7 were available at launch, one with 8 GB of storage, priced at US$199 and one with 16 GB of storage, priced at US$249. Due to low price of 8GB version, Google mostly selling 8GB version online directly from Google Play Store. 16GB version was widely available at other popular e-commerce site and worldwide.

ASUS Malaysia launched only 16GB version of Nexus 7 in Malaysia market with SRP of RM999.


2. In October 2012, the Nexus 7 lineup was revised: the 8 GB model was discontinued, the price of the 16 GB version was reduced to US$199, and a 32 GB variant was introduced at the US$249 price point. Google also announced new Nexus 7 32GB version with HSPA+ mobile data support for US$299.

ASUS Malaysia dropped current Nexus 7 16GB version to RM899 while introduced Nexus 7 32GB version with HSPA+ data support for RM1,099.

Future Use

Future Use

Faster release haha. Now dilemma in choosing between nexus or fonepad

fonepad can never match the specs of the new nexus 7. You are comparing between a 2000cc car and a 1200 cc car
if Google carries on the same type of pricing strategy, it is a no brainer - the New Nexus 7 is definitely a better buy even if it costs up to RM200 more ( only disadvantage is probably you cannot make calls on it)

Darn, I hope its Tegra 5 instead of Snapdragon
Hopefully they will announce Nexus 8 too!

what so special about Tegra 5? I dun really care it is Nvidia, Samsung or Qualcomm cpu as long as it is fast.

If Newegg Malaysia can bring it in with good price like the Nexus 7 32GB, will consider getting one for myself and pass the Nexus 7 32GB to my son, now we are sharing it.

Nolah, nothing special. Just that currently there is no supplier using Tegra 5

estimate price in bolehland??

I think you meant Tegra 4...?

Should be similar

Come come. Don't let us wait for long.

8hours more for google i/o

tonight 11pm malaysia time? Did Google I/O normally has live telecast via Youtube or other web site?

hmm.. if it's using S4, maybe we can expect LTE connection in the revised version like first gen Nexus 7 gets H+. Hope to have 32GB or even 64GB at launch, cos game files are getting bigger and bigger nowadays, 16GB felt rather little liao

Definitely will get once it is released.

Ah ... 1920x1200 in 7" !!!!!!!!

Woohoo....temptation....... but no calls !!

Note 3 lah ....

Anyone creating official thread for Google I/O?

Google I/O would be too wide scope of topics, why not concentrate on Nexus 7 and Android 4.3 here...

they only annouced S4 Pure Google Edition? No other hardware is announced (as of 1am) now, so no Nexus 7 replacement revealed. Getting sleepy....

Yeah, no news yet...

Patient, probably revealed at the end only.

Android session has past? THat's mean there is no other android announcement will be made? sad..

Wau talk about Malaysia Chromebook, even with special video

Tonight no news on Nexus 7 HD...see u guys tomorrow

That was disappointing >< No new nexus 7 yet. Maybe they waiting for november and launch all 3 devices together. Nexus 5, new nexus 7 and new nexus 10/11

Still got tomorrow la, maybe they won't announce the Nexus phone since now got S4 Google Edition

i doubt that since they only has one day keynote

Oh well at least the vanilla S4 is something interesting

by looks i think they will announce it later, probably late june for the new Nexus 7 (or henceforth name would change) and the new android version. Like how they did want to hold an event last year for Nexus 4, 10 and Android 4.2 but ended up cancelling the event due to bad weather. just don't lose hope, keep your heads up for more news, the i/o isn't over yet too. Let's see what they're going to do in the last keynote presentation.

KNN... I just invested in Otterbox casing for my 7C!

Phonearena has suspect picture of new Nexus 7 :

Wau, almost 2 months over already, still countdown...

no news at all??

End of this month or beginning of August. So really coming soon lah..

New Nexus 7 confirmed to be announced next Thursday!

http://www.androidcentral.com/new-nexus-7-...?style_mobile=0

if this one real, I still prefer current n7 design

i hope ASUS produce enough during the launch.
And no such short supply crisis like how nexus 4 last time.

24th July, start the count down again. this event surely dedicated to a nexus device instead of API like the previous google i/o

This time for sure

Wow, I'm waiting for it haha. Might farm some money to get the cheapest 16GB lol.

Already for sale in US BestBuy
US$229.99 for 16GB N US$269.99 for 32GB

The new Nexus 7 will pawn Galaxy Tab 3 left right upside down.
Anyone on LYN already start pre-order? Or any authorised shops start pre-order in MY?

I wanna join the Pre-Order too.

Wow it's been a year already?

I remember I was one of the fanboys who was so eager to get the nexus 7 first gen.

It was really fun the first few months, but then I got speaker issue, and slowly noticing the inconsistency of tegra 3 to provide smooth experience, and the pain of low storage. End up selling it.

The 2nd gen seems promising with better hardware.

This is much worth waiting than Tegra 3 grouper.
Tegra is really over-rated due to NVIDIA's reputation.

looks nice, wonder how much it will cost here.

I'd guest the 16GB version will have the same price as current Asus Fonepad, probably RM750?

32GB maybe RM899?

Wifi version i'm talking.

If based on last year prices it will be 999 for 16gb wifi and 1099 for 32gb + lte

waaaa....if like that, i will wait another year haha...wait till price drop

If only things were like that, ASUS memang inflate the their phone/tablets price kao kao over here in Malaysia.

USD229 direct convert to RM (Let's say 3.1) is about RM709 <---- Expect Asus Msia to sell it around RM900+

USD249 (32GB) become RM1k

You will know when you see the trend for the pricing in the past for example LG Nexus 4, ASUS Nexus 7 (all the variants), ASUS Fonepad, etc

I remembered the Preorder for LG Nexus 4 was like USD300+ or something, end up official distro here selling for RM1.7k

Let's start new countdown !

Confirmed Spec:-

any preorder thread?? pm me the link thanks~

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
europe version lte can work in MALAYSIAAA!!

Newegg Malaysia should bring in 32GB Wifi version ASAP !

gonna import for sure. buying here= expensive like mad

the new Nexus 7 page is up



http://www.google.com/nexus/7/

I'm interested with Chromecast. Anyone doing bulk for it?

since got international warranty

the nexus 7 2013 shared the same specs as my Sony xperia tablet z except mine was 10.1". and that mean it will perform demm good especially with pure Google experience. if only there will be a nexus 8, I think 8" size the best for a mini tablet. n I hope Sony will the one that made it.

but as usual, the thing I hate bout nexus is no sd card support.

32GB not enough meh?

I believe Nexus is trying to be like Apple option. All build in memory and let consumer choose.

Talking about performance, pure Google always win

Currently using 16gb+32gb micro sd also not enough I kept a lot of manga in my tablet.

I believe the reason Nexus opted not to include memory slot is due to cost cutting measure?

hope newegg will bring it in

Can performs call and sms?

Anyone know whether Google will set to limited units again for its orders? Thinking to bring in few for resell purpose.

sd card for nothing one laa. not like can dl more apps. all the apps must be internal. last time my 16GB full, sd card empty coz nth to put.

No, only 4G data

and 3G and GSM. i tink can call laa

No speaker/earpiece in front lor

Some hands on and unboxing

awesome!! will grab it for sure..

When available in Malaysia?
Hope i can sell my N7 soon.

I see already sellers at eBay mostly at a premium US$50 above official pricing. Add in another US$30+ for delivery
Only for those that cannot wait
Noted all wifi sets
Btw USA LTE cannot be used here. Buy only Europe sets

I don't think its gonna be a long wait for it to land here. Specs are awesome for the price.
Good value for the money.

Best bet is on Newegg to bring it in at price similar or slightly higher than US prices

I want memory card slot

the voice feature already disabled. so cant make call, not even receiving a SMS

why no use snapdragon 800

Can but the price will be high. N7 is suppose to be a budget device. Price to be affordable.
But with really great specs.

At least S600 la. S4 Pro so outdated.

I thought S600 not suitable for tablet unlike S800.

S600 is faster than S4 Pro. Why not suitable leh?
