Currently, the 16GB and 32GB Wi-Fi only models are priced at $199 and $249 respectively while the 32GB Wi-Fi + Mobile data models for AT&T and T-Mobile cost $299 each. According to the sources, by the end of this month, more than 6 million units of the tablet will have been sold. The top selling variant is the $249 32GB Wi-Fi only model. The same sources say that by the end of the year, 10 million units made up of a combination of the original model and the second-generation version, will have been purchased.

Nice I might buy just because of the price and the FHD display.

AGood call. By improving the display and border they literally just enhanced the only two aspects of mu Nexus 7 that im not thrilled about. Wish there was an sd card slot but that's okay.
Edit *** They would do well to greatly improve the video quality of the front facing camera.

Waited a couple of months and can wait a few more before buying one of these beasts. Updated Nexus 10, nexgen Nexus 7, maybe a Nexus 8 FHD, that would be the ideal in-betweener, or the Ipad Mini 2. Really is the year of mature tablets with $400 tops for high-end technology.

Just make few hundred or thousand unit and then say out of stock after few days. Then tell people "Our OEM manufacturer can not meet the demand".

Expect this one to be out of stock for a long time like the Nexus 4

Were you not around during the Nexus 7 launch? On top of that, demand will be much higher this time around.

Nexus 4 launch has been much worse than Nexus 7's. They were much quicker to fix their supply issues. Plus, don't you think Asus might have learnt from experience? I don't believe there will be supply issues like before for the new Nexus 7

nexus 4 demands were overwhelming. nexus 7 demands were nowhere near that of nexus 4 and were still sold out. moreover, the 3g version of nexus 7 also sold out.
you must not know how demand and supply work. manufacturers do not simply supply as much as they can. they supply an optimal amount. go take a class in economics simpleton

It's funny that you keeps yelling people retarded where you yourself retarded as well, nexus 7 selling well around the globe, if the country has no kindle fire, nexus 7 will definitely be top spot on android tablet, if not either galaxy tab 7.0...
do some research before you claim someone retarded, retarded

noce one google, but hoping 7.7" (im not refering to the iPad mini, but the size of the galaxy tab 7.7, which is a good screen size, not too small, not too big either) screen size but maintain the slimness!
hope they keep the tegra 4 since im sure snapdragon 800 will be pricey...and add a rear camera too!
even i dont like android, i only like android with stock UI on it, samsung and others ruin the experience!

Samsung tablets are the worst. Holy bjeezus its so slow compared to stock JB/ICS, and full of cartoon looking icons...bleh not to mention average specs

I'm hoping for Nexus 7.7.
With a 1920 x 1200 resolution, a little thinner bezels all around, and Tegra 4.
An appropriate upgrade over last years model.

yes yes i love my nexus 7. just did some customize. i want new display and processor for the new baby NOW.

I am wishing for something new in Android 5.0 on the new Nexus 7 or whatever it will be called. I want the on-screen buttons gone...like forever. They take away precious space from the screen. Android needs gestures. A swipe from bottom to top for options such as home, back, multitasking etc. instead of on-screen buttons....OR something new!
Surprise us Google!

CM 10.1 + Nova Launcher Prime + LMT Launcher give you all that and more. Look it up.

Thank you very much! I did not know that :D
27. linneti15 posted on 29 Jan 2013, 02:13 0 0
ehh multitasking i can live with for a gesture and then button press... but home and back?? no way!! there needs to be dedicated buttons/dedicated gestures for these because they are too important to have 2 or more steps to do them..

As much as Id love to upgrade mines theres nothing that it cant do that I throw at it. An FHD screen is tempting though.
15. half_21 posted on 28 Jan 2013, 22:44 0 0
this time i'll wait 3-4 months before buying this model...so i would not have any regrets of buying it as soon as it was released and then found out that after a few months they release an upgraded version of this model...and at least the price would be cheaper..and besides my nexus 7 ow is sufficient enough for my needs...^^

I'm hoping for 1200p screen, 2gb ddr3, tegra 4 and if there smart they will either put 64gb of storage in it or an sd slot (I doubt they will put an sd slot since it is a nexus)
18. BadAssAbe posted on 28 Jan 2013, 23:18 0 0
FHD is not really necessary, i rather have More Storage and battery.
Give me the least amount bezel possible so when i add my otterbox, i can still put it in my pocket.
Same price range is a win
Next Gen Processor would be nice but not necessary, Current 7 is Fast, Real Fast

Tegra 4, 2 GB RAM, and FHD 7" display, for $200 with stock Android? Take that, Kindle Fire!
29. TylerGrunter posted on 29 Jan 2013, 03:52 0 0
That's just a whish list, isn't it?
I would be OK with the FHD, 2 GB of RAM, and any dual core A15 like the OMAP 5 or Exynos 5 quad.

Google I/O 2013 may be four months away, but there are already speculation on what Google is planning to launch at its annual conference.

Gotta upgrade that Processor if its going Full HD. The Tegra 3 was JUST enough to make it run 100% smooth if youre using the right rom/kernel. Stock 4.2 still has a tiny bit of choppyness in spots.

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Since the update to jelly bean its been great. The new Nexus 7 with a HD display sounds good enough to buy .
26. tiara6918 posted on 29 Jan 2013, 01:18 0 0
Given that price tag, the full hd display is a big bonus!
34. Droidude posted on 29 Jan 2013, 11:13 0 0
FHD diaplay for $249. Unless the Gal Tab 8 has some amazing features, I'll be returning to the Nexus fold.
