I want a tablet!!

I looking to get a new android tablet that will last me a while but am not too sure what to choose. I really like the Asus Transformer TF300T-A1 and am thinking about getting it. I like the laptop look and feel of it. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I am looking to spend between 350$ and 400, maybe 500$

Nexus 10

Android Tablet
Hands down the Nexus 10, not only for its stunning resolution but for everything else the tablet is able to do.

Nexus 10 is good but sound quality is rediculous
wanna thank xda? here

I don't understand. Please help me out. How can everyone recommend nexus 10 when there are so many problems with it? I bought mine about 5 days ago and its already crashed over a dozen times. I came here looking for something I can replace it with. I'm having many issues and so are others. People were expecting an update months ago. I don't even think Google acknowledges all these bugs. Did someone figure out a way to stop these crashes or something I don't know about? Please help. Why should I keep it?

This is how it is. Most people keep talking about the specifications which a device boasts. But in reality, there are numerous things to consider. Nexus 10 is an amazing device, but as you said, it does have its own issues. One should look for something from Samsung as even though little expensive, they produce better devices.

in dealextreme there are a lot, and very cheap

Nexus 7 is a really good deal. Or Nexus 10.

Nexus 7 if you on budget and 7 inch is enough, otherwise definitely Nexus 10 depending on your needs.
Nexus 10 has nice beefy specs i can't wait till that resolution becomes more mainstream on everything hehe

Might trade for G2

So I have the G2 and I have a buddy of mine offering to trade it for a 32GB N5. While I know that its basically the same phone I am more encouraged to simply because I feel that the N5 is more future proof.
Am I wrong for this ? Or should I keep it.

You should change the title to "Might Trade for the Nexus 5".
And to answer your question, yes the Nexus 5 should be more future proof than the G2.

I have changed the title I have offers for both white and black versions I've been reading on some new N5 hardware is there anything I should be looking for when choosing between old and new hardware?

The hardware changes include: larger speaker grills and sturdier buttons. Get the version with the newest hardware. You can tell if it's the newer version if the phone's first three serial numbers are above 311 (312, etc).
There's also another way by looking at the HW Version in the fastboot mode. REV_12 or higher should all have the latest hardware revisions.
Fyi, the G2's base cost (~$669.00 unlocked on ebay) is much greater than the Nexus' base cost ($400 unlocked off the play store). Keep that in mind before trading.

The G2 has a better camera and battery.
I almost got one but found a good deal on a Nexus 5.

I personally would go with the Nexus 5 because of official software updates and the day development community that continues to grow!
If you don't care much about development and timely/official updates from google then I'd say stick with the G2.

I would trade the G2 for nexus 5 and sell the g2 and rebuy nexus 5 and you would probably make a profit

Android 'Silver'? Nexus Line?

Ok if someone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it. I want to buy a nexus phone but since its this late I was going to wait for the nexus 6 (if it was going to be called that) but now I'm reading about Android 'Silver' and how it might mean there will be no more nexus devices. Sodo you guys think that its true about no more nexus phones? And should I buy the nexus 5? Or do you guys think they'll continue on to another nexus device?

Still worth it?

Hi folks I am considering buying a nexus 5. Currently have a moto X and I'm happy with it. However I missed the stock Android and Nexus experience. They're all kinds of pros and cons with this phone as you all know. I guess after all this time, do you think the phone is still worth purchasing? Main reason being is the next Nexus is a matter of months away. What would you owners say? Thanks.

The battery is fine. You can consistently get 5+ hours of sot if you set it up right.

battery isnt bad. but it all depends what your signal quality will be like, how you set it up, what apps youbuse, and how you use your device. i personally see about 4.5-5.5 hours screen in time.

i just used my tmobile Jump upgrade to go from an LG G2 to the Nexus 5, best decision ive made in awhile

As Midnight_Rider Put It... In A Matter Of 6 Months... I Just Used My Jump Upgrade and Went From A HTC One M7 > Note 3 > iPhone 5s Gold (Worst Decision I Ever Made In The Handset Division... The IPad Is Cool But Not The Phone) and Now I Have The Nexus 5...
As Stated Before... Best Decision I Ever Made In The Mobile World In A While. I've Had the Nexus One & the Galaxy Nexus... Minus the Nexus S As I Wasn't On Sucky Sprint But Now That I Have the Nexus 5... I Can Clearly Admit That I'm Thrilled To Be Back To Pure Google, Unlocked, Unrestricted and On the Un-Carrier and the Nexus World.
I Said the Same Thing... As the Next Nexus Is Due By December and The G3 Is Right Around the Corner But Seriously... Its A No Brainer... I Wish the Best To You Young Padawon On Your Choices... Choose Wisely lol ?

[Q] Buy Nexus 5 or wait for 6?

I am planning to buy a new android phone and shortlisted Nexus 5 and Xperia ZR. I think Nexus 5 would be a better choice because of its large development support but question in my mind is "Is it worth waiting for Nexus 6?". There is no fixed date for Nexus 6 but hopefully it will be announced in Q4 of this year. Please suggest, should i buy nexus 5 or wait for nexus 6? Is it worth waiting for?
From my research cons of nexus 5 that i don't want to get with are: Battery life and Camera. And both of these might get upgraded in Nexus 6.
Thanks in advance.

We don't even know if there will be a 6. The rumour mill says not. Its an impossible question

Google confirmed that the nexus program isn't going anywhere. There probably will be a successor to the nexus 5,it would only make sense since android L supports 64 bit, maybe even put more than 3gb. Who knows, it's all speculation

Afaik google only confirmed the nexus tablet range. But as we both said it's all speculation so it would be ridiculous to try and base any purchasing decision on an unknown future.

Should i go for nexus 5 then? The thing that is making me worried about nexus is its battery, is there any way i can fix it?
Or i should go for something else?

The battery is fine. Go for what you want. Read reviews. Its pretty old now. Only 9 months left of updates.
