I want to buy a tablet for reading PDF and browsing.
The best I found - Nexus 10. But there are rumors that the new version will be soon.
How much actual now buying Nexus 10?
Supposedly on november like last year

I've seen new 32gb Nexus 10s go as low as 350.
I'd buy it still. The new Nexus 10 will probably go for $500 again.. The current Nexus 10 is still a beast and I'm not upgrading it anytime soon unless the new Nexus 10 has free Unicorn meat.

Thank you all for your opinions.
The big mystery of the new Nexus 10 will have LTE or not
I just purchased a 32g N10 for 370 w/ free shipping. I am very happy about the purchase and cannot wait to have it in my hands.
I do not know why everyone would want this to have LTE. Most carriers allow for wifi tethering, just use your current smartphone for your LTE access.

i think buying a device from day of launch is best thing to do as your gunna get more time out of it before getting fed up with lag or new ones coming out, so if you havent got one yet buy the new one, or buy second hand nexus 10 v1 when v2 comes out there drop price
im sure nexus 10 v1 willl be fine for what i want but in 6 months time maybe not,

Hello All,
I have made up my mind to buy a Nexus S now. But I wanted some inputs from you guys before I go ahead and buy it. So here are my questions,
1) Nexus S version available here in India is a Super LCD version. Cost $400, worth it ?
2) Compared to other phones I am sure, "pure google experience" will be great on this phone. Am I right ?
3)Google (Galaxy) Nexus Prime is due next week. Cost of that will certainly be around $600(not tied to carrier). In the wake of this, I feel Nexus S is a better buy.
4)Will Nexus S actually run ICS and further ?
5)As a phone, how would you rate it?
I would try to get the SAMOLED one. Look on eBay or something. I bought the LCD one to compare with my SAMOLED. In my opinion it felt quite a bit thicker and heavier. The screen was a little sharper for sure but it was much less responsive for some reason. I had to tap the keyboard a few times for it to register properly. Also, the blacks, which r the biggest part of the UI for gingerbread and ics, don't look very good on an LCD. And overall, the nexus s is the best phone I've used. I've had pretty much every phone and like this the best.

I've loved the Nexus S. yes we will definately get the ICS update.
Nexus Prime (or whatever) will be out within the next month or so. The Nexus S is a great phone and I love it but it technically is a last generation phone in terms of specs. I would wait for the Prime. If you like what you see, get the Prime, if not the price of the Nexus S should drop.
You could wait till the prime comes out might drive the price down on ether nexus s
But that said its not worth signing a two year contract for, not sure if thatd how it goes on the other side of the pond

Love the Nexus S. I would wait for second generation dual core and buy Nexus S now. By then the price should be down and the software will make use of dual core.

I had the same dilema. I used to own a Galaxy S (SAMOLED version) and I was wondering if I should keep it until the Nexus Prime will come out or to go first through Nexus S.
I chose to go with Nexus S (S-LCD version). Indeed, the blacks are not so deep as the SAMOLED but there are upsides also: 1. S-LCD is MUCH brighter and outdoor visibility is greatly improved; 2. The images do look sharper and also the colors saturation are more natural compared to the vivid ones on the SAMOLED; 3. there is no risk of screen burn-out at all .. so you can use whatever themes with static images as you like.
As for the Nexus Prime: it will come out at around $800 USD (in the begining) and you will find it at ~$500 USD or maybe less after at leat 3-4 months after launch (these are contract-free costs). Looking at this situation I prefer to wait about half year to upgrade to the Prime version. And by doing that I also take no risk in hitting the early OS version bugs.
Just my 2 cents ....

$800 USD off contract? Yeah right. It'll be $530 range off-contract day one. Every off-contract phone is around ~$530 including the Galaxy S2 for T-Mobile.
You're in Romania, so it may be $800 USD there.. but in the U.S. its $529.99
In Europe we get all the gizmos in euro currency but w/o any conversion from USD. A $100 device will cost here €100. So you see ... not everyone gets lucky.

Guys, I really appreciate all your replies. Considering the fact that the Nexus S Super LCD version is $400(without contract, In India mostly thats how it works. Buy an unlocked phone, pop in any sim and use it), I thought I would go for it. I badly need a phone right now. The Prime is about 6 months away.
The prime is certainly not 6 months away.

For certain parts of the world it is. Maybe not 6 months ... but at least three.
The dual core processor is a big improvement
I own the nexus s (original OLED) and my GF owns a Galaxy S2.
The speed of the GS2 is noticeable faster and the battery last longer. The problem is that is too big for a man carrying it in his pocket.
If you need a new phone now and you are OK with its size get the GS2. If you want a "google" experience install ROM. It will get the ICS for sure.
If you need a phone now and the GS2 is too big get the nexus s (a lot of members in this forum like the SLCD more than the OLED)
If you can wait get the new nexus prime...

Bhaisaab, wait until nexus prime is announced. Even if the price is too high then at least the nexus S will become cheaper.

I don't know how the Nexus S can get cheaper. You can get the Nexus S I9023 in germany for 237,- Euro while the Nexus One still cost 249,- Euro. I just stumbled over it and now thinking about selling my lovely Nexus One for a Nexus S, because i am not buying a Nexus Prime for 500+ Euro.
Again, thanks for all your replies. I am gonna wait for Nexus Prime. If the screen size is 4.65 inches as told in many places on web then I will go for Nexus S(hoping that price will drop further).
What do you guys say about the Sony Ericsson, Xperia Mini ST15i as a temporary phone? Its about $250. Its got great processor, RAM, Camera. Great graphics, but small screen.

[Q] Should I wait a couple of months?
Hello everyone,
In this ever-changing technological world, buying a new cellphone or tablet need to be thought through.
Here's my problem: for a couple a months I've really wanted to buy a Nexus 7 (2013). These days, prices are at an all time low here in France [189 Euros on Amazon, still 229 Euros on the PlayStore].
Anyway, I was wondering if it would be wise to buy a Nexus 7 now with Google I/O two months from now. The thing is; is there a chance that Google will reveal new tablets and launch a new Nexus 7 after the conference? Because if so I'd rather way a couple of months and get the latest from Google.
Anyhow, I'd like to get your opinion on that.
Thanks for your replies.
Ps: I'm making a poll for people who want to give their opinion without having to write anything
I'd personally wait. I had thoughts of upgrading as my Nexus 7 (2012) is starting to charge unreliably. However, as we are only a few months away from the typical new release I figured I'd wait. Still have hope for an sd card slot in this year's model.

Thanks for your answer. I've lost all hope when it comes to external storage on Nexus devices but I'm using Dropbox to extend storage and it's perfect.

Yeah, I have a slim hope but I know Google is pushing cloud so maybe that hope is in vain. I love cloud storage. Between Dropbox and Google Drive (and Google Plus unlimited photo backup), it covers just about everything I need. However, I think they are forgetting that many of their tablets are wifi only and you are often without wifi. I'd like to be able to load up some movies before a trip for the kids and that is hard on my 8 gb (not really 8 gb) Nexus 7. And with some games starting to take up 1-2 gb (which cloud storage cannot help), it is starting to get more and more obsolete.
I have a Nexus 10, and wanted a smaller tablet. For me the ~8" size is the ideal. I decided to not wait for the rumored Nexus 8, and purchased a GalaxyTab Pro 8.4. Excellent tablet, but Samsung's customizations and bloatware are terrible.
I would rather prefer a "Google Play Edition". Just installing unofficial Cyanogenmod now! :good:
We're in the same boat. I badly want the N7 2013, I'm going to take it though. The 2014 one might be a lot better but it will be very similar, unless the announcement says it can make and receive calls. The memory card slot isn't that big a problem as I'm planning on using OTG with my 64GB USB.

The Galaxy Tab Pro would've been my choice but it's a bit too expensive for me unfortunately =/

The thing is that I don't want to buy it if Google sells them cheaper once the new tablets are announced -or even before like they did for the N4.
Finally able to convince the wife to let me upgrade our phones. I'm coming from an optimus g pro & she's coming from an LG motion.
Should we grab nexus 5s or wait for the 6?

I'd pull the trigger and buy the 5. There is no better phone on the market right now, for me that is. The six won't release until the end of the year, if Google even makes a six. Let's say they do make a six and you want it, just sell the five on swappa and buy the six. The five won't depreciate that much being it's already cheap as hell.
Tldr- buy the 5
Galaxy Nexus- Released in November 2011
Nexus 4- Released in November 2012
Nexus 5- Released- Practically November 2013 (October 31)
Logically, this would say that assuming there is a next Nexus, it would be around November of this year. Which is 5 1/2 months away. However, there's more to it than that. Just because a Nexus device is released in November does not mean you can get your hands on one that month. Often times, unless you know when the link to buy the phone is going online and mash your refresh button, you are going to have to wait at least a month. So assume 6 1/2 to 7 months before you get your hands on the next one.
Besides, Nexus 5 will certainly get the next few major android updates and is still one of the most powerful android devices of all time. With no bloatware. Or encrypted $#@^%#$%$#% bootloaders (thanks so much, Samsung).
Just go ahead and get the Nexus 5 right now. You can rest assured that Google will still continue to update it with the latest Android versions as soon as they release, plus in over 2 years when Google drops support, the developer community will still continue to support the Nexus 5. I would say that it is the most futureproof phone compared to its competitors right now.
Go for the Nexus5...you can always upgrade later. Plus the wife will like seeing you with a Nexus5!
Get the 5. There'll always be a newer/shinier version on the horizon, I've had this phone since February and it's fantastic.

We don't even know there will be another nexus for sure do we? Speculation was Tue nexus range is being dropped

If you want the phone get it. At this point we don't even know if Google is continuing the Nexus line in its current form, we don't know who is going to manufacture the next developer phone or what it's going to cost, or even when it's coming out. At this point it's all speculation. If you want a Nexus, get the N5.
I recently got nexus 5 and I like it a lot!! At first I was leaning toward HTC sense but I am glad I didn't made that choice.

On what basis are you saying that the next Nexus will come soon??
The next Nexus hasn't even been rumoured yet and there are many articles stating that Google might dump the Nexus line.
Even if there was a Nexus 6 (or whatever number is given), it will still take about 6 months for it to be released!

Will you guys get the nexus 6 when it's available for sale or stick with the nexus 5 cause I've bought the nexus 5 about only a month ago and the phones get to my country overpriced -the 16 GB nexus 5 was about 500$- so I'm worried people might stop developing for or using the nexus 5 cause I may not be able to get the nexus 6
How many threads do you need to make?
There is already a "Nexus 6" thread in the General section.
I suppose this is different from speculation. Anyway, I think it all depends on what it will offer. Possibly bigger battery, better camera. Some new and original features. Processor/RAM doesn't really matter to me. It's already fast. I think I'm leaning on keeping it just because we will have Android L to play with so the software will be the same. However, if it has unique features I might get it.
I usually get the next Nexus pending price...
Assuming the price, I'll be hitting up the Nexus 6, and getting my girl to switch from Verizon to AT&T and give her my Nexus 5.
You damn Skippy I'm going to buy the nexus 6.

Is the Nexus 5 still considered a good deal for its price? Google play store lists 16GB model for $350, although they're out of stock right now.
Q&A forum is thattaway
As it is already stop production, It seems that it won't restock anymore.
Yes, it's unlikely they will restock them on Google play store.
I think it's still worth buying if you can find a retailer selling them with a discount - say 10 or 20%. I think as it's not being manufactured any more, I wouldn't want to pay the RRP. I was lucky and got one about 10 months ago for £240 in a sale, and at that price it's still a bargain now.
If one of my friends asks me what phone to buy, not necessarily the newest, nexus 5 without a doubt. A lot of phone for the money.

Might as well get a g2
Or Xiaomi Mi3
I owned Nexus 5 & G2, G2 is not smooth like Nexus 5, but for me its better choice, so i suggest you to go for G2
