Get the Nexus 7, or wait for the Nexus 10?

I've been really wanting to purchase this tablet for awhile now, up until I read a few articles about a rumored 10 inch version of the tablet. I would really enjoy the larger screen, but again this is just a rumor. Should I go ahead and purchase the Nexus 7 or wait to see if there will be a Nexus 10? Thanks for anyone's input!
Btw, these are the articles I read:

http://news.yahoo.com/google-prepping-nexus-10-tablet-report-claims-151017418.html

I would just get the Nexus 7.

They're not releasing one anytime soon. Why would they have a huge announcement for the nexus 7 but not even mention a Nexus 10?
Those are all just dumb rumors to get pageviews.
Ipad mini has been rumored for years, same thing.

I think I would prefer a 10" tablet myself, but I may end up loving the 7" form factor. I was debating just like you, but when I found out that IF they release a nexus 10, that it wouldn't be until late this year, I went ahead and ordered the 7 and will sell/trade it for the 10 when and if released.

I had a nookColor tablet last year - I loved reading on it, it was easy to hold, etc. I wanted a Galaxy Tab 10.1 so badly though, and after playing with one at Best Buy I decided to sell my nook and buy the Tab. It was cool - definitely better for watching movies - but I found myself not using it as much as I had used the nook. I hardly read and the 10 inch form factor was difficult to hold comfortably. Sold the Tab and got the N7 and couldn't be happier! In the tablet world, bigger is not always better... Personal opinion: Get the N7.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I think I'm going to get the N7, unless I hear any more talk about the N10 in the next few days. Although, I've been seeing all these threads about people's N7's being defective, so I'm going to wait a bit to place my order anyway.

I sold my touchpad for this tablet and have not looked back. I do not miss the huge screen. I LOVE the size of this tablet it fits perfectly in my hands. Plus the size of it makes it easily transportable. Not to mention the fact that a nexus 10 has not been officially announced. Get this, if the 10 ever comes out sell this and get the 10

Hey guys, I'm in the same situation of the op, only difference is that Nexus 7 isn't still purchasable in my country (it will be in august/september).
However, I think that I will use this tablet (if I will buy it) for reading book and comic/manga, you think that it is good for that, or is better if I take my attention to a 10" tablet?

I read it's been backordered for a few weeks, so you might have more time for talk to come out anyway.
Edit: the 16GB version anyway. The 8GB version seems available.

I have a 10" galaxy tab, plus the nexus 7. The nexus 7 really surprised me, that small screen may actually be big enough. I am still undecided whether or not I will need another 10" tablet, or the 7" is enough. But at the moment there its a high likelihood that the 10" will never leave my house again, and I will travel with the 7" only. I think for most people, the 7" form factor may be better. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the need to read full page adobe files. So far, what I tested are all readable on the 7" device, but that is so unexpected that I need to test more before I decide to retire the 10" tablet.

I prefer the 7" form factor.
10" is simply too large when you are viewing it by holding it with your hand.
You have to move your eyes around to look from top to bottom.

I too was a little worried about something that isn't a whole lot bigger than our phones now...but I actually love it. It is easier to handle and to type on. I like reading from it as well. As far as waiting...I wouldn't be surprised if Google had a bigger tablet around the holidays. But I wouldn't wait around for it.

If you don't have problems with 10" I'll wait because the Nexus 7 maybe will be with connection 3G/4G (LTE)

As you can guess from the product name, the Nexus 7.7 is a 7.7-inch Android tablet – this Nexus tablet naming convention will bite them in the ass in future Nexus 7.7 generations – and it’s also expected to be a budget-friendly high-end device.
The tablet will be priced starting at $299 as well for the 8GB model, and it will offer you a 7.7-inch WUXGA display (1920 x 1200 resolution and 294 PPI), a NVIDIA Tegra 4 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 8/16GB of storage and 720p HD front and rear cameras
While the forum doesn’t mention it, we expect both devices to run the next-gen Android OS version, which could very well be Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie.

Retard

7.7?
Men, Full HD resolution on that screen is just isn't needed at all. It would be more suitable for 9-10 inch, but not 7-8

LG confirmed that this is fake. They have said that they have NOT stopped production of the Nexus 4.

So they'll probably make like an 8th of the number they should and no one will be able to buy them. Seriously Google. Three lg devices in a row. Its one thing with Samsung who has had a good track record of meeting demand and not having major issues like thermal throttling. But lg dropped the ball on the nexus 4 launch badly. Please Google, Motorola, Samsung, HTC, and even Asus( they seem to have no problem pumping out a million a month) is much better.

These threads have to stop. This is nothing more than a wisp of a rumor, with no sources. Sure there's the Android Authority page, but they don't really have anything remotely solid on this.

i have confirmed, that the confirmation held within this post, simply cannot be confirmed.

OK, closed for now.

TechnoBuffalo reads it as KRS368 on the Nexus 7 and KRS365 on the N4, but I see it as KRS36B, which makes more sense since recent builds of Jelly Bean have a letter at the end of the build number.
Pretty interesting stuff. It's exciting to see that they already have it running on the devices. :good:

Wasn't something similar spotted days before Google I/O?

There's no point being the maintainer of an Operating System that can't boot to the home screen on its flagship device for lack of GPU support, especially when I'm getting the blame for something that I don't have authority to fix myself and that I had anticipated and escalated more than 6 months ahead.

It is just a SIM tray, not a button.

Hmm doesnt looks that impressive simply by those battery life ratings... manages a few hours call time what the hell?! OEM estimated battery life is generally way too high so this seems really odd as its worse than the nexus 4 rated time .
Also the size of the device is slightly disappointing, I was expecting/hoping for a smaller device all round like the rumoured sizing of 131.9 x 68.2 x 8.8(?) hoping this is still true as that small change in size would be amazing and tip it from a good device to a perfect sized device .
Interesting... guess I will awaiting the release!

Specs....ergonomics....nah....I'd be lying if I say I ain't disappointed. Not a Nexus for me this time around.....time for an HTC I guess...

If you all are unimpressed by the specs than don't buy it! I however like many others will enjoy the best phone to come on the market with the latest os, I would buy it even if it came with the exact same battery as the N4. The phone is going to be good so I wish luck to everyone who thinks they will be happy staying with their N4's, while everyone else is enjoying the new gem.

It depends on whether Google pays to use that licensed name or not
lets discard the idea that the name is related to size.
Also, I would say that our current Nexus 5 is a very 2014 device since released very late on 2013 (the first nexus 7 was release on July 2012 and 2nd, July 2013).

Oh, and broken SU...

Nexus devices are already kind of a niche product, it would be stupid to make it either curved or any larger than 5 inches, both of those categories are in the niche categories themselves.

Looks cool but unstable on a table. Needs to be curved the other way IMHO

Does no one remember that the nexus S was curved. Shape wise, it was nice to hold and pocket. The only thing was the earpiece could be a little uncomfortable as the edge pressed against your ear more, but that is solvable. Of course, the screen was flat and only the body curved.
Some advantages are: placing it on tables etc mean little chance of scoring or scratching the screen; also rear facing speakers are either up face down, or not in contact with the surface face up.
PS the issue with the nexus s was Samsung's cheap, plastic build quality and feel. But the shape was good

Curved phone worked well on the lg flex. T-Mobile showed me the flex he had it in his pocked as its not on sale until next week. The phone is huge! But because of the curve and it really wasn't burdensome. I think from here on out curved phones should be a must for phablets
