wait for Nexus 7 2013 price drop or get the Nexus 9 when its out
In android tablets,Nexus is the only one ive found worth considering overall,except maybe the fonepad to an extent

Get the Nexus 7 2013 version. The 32gb is retailing for 17k.

How nexus go dead ??
Did you broke it?

I missed it for 15k and now it is selling around 17k. The problem is that I have 52k for mobile and now the more expensive tab i buy the lesser amount i have for buying the phone. Got to wait a bit more I guess. Is fonepad expected to be getting 5.0?

Short circuit in the tab resulted in mobo and other part failure. Service center is charging 8k for all that and I am not giving this much amount for 3 year old tab.

So, Nexus isn't reliable ?
My friend has 4yr old micromax tab and its still working..

I have a Nexus 7 (2012) for over a year, have dropped it like 10 times (my son thinks it's his toy to throw around), had to open it up myself to reconnect the battery connector when it went dead a few times but it still works fine otherwise.

Oooh man do not ask about dropping. It drops at a rate of 3 times a month from my bag when i took my books out of my bag. Never even stopped working but now it is gone.

I have Nexus 7 (2012) for a year too. It's my own toy but I don't throw it around like that.

It's still running smooth and rocking. So you don't get afraid of getting your hands dirty eh? Nice to know that. :doublethumb:

come on guys I need more input on my query.

Nexus is totally worth it and the best android tablet out there
its the only thing worthy of giving the ipad competition

Better wait till the launch of nexus 9 so that there can be a price drop.

+1000 to this
Nexus 2012 was available for 8.5k for a few months when N7 2013 was released,i expect the same again

I'm waiting for the Nexus 7 to hit the 15k mark as well, I was getting it at 15k a few weeks back in Flipkart ( 5% off on Mobile app plus Rs 150 off ) but had to postpone as I had to travel. Now the price is 18k.

Nexus 9 release will surely lower Nexus 7 prices, i hpe.

Get the Dell Venue 8

New Dell Venue 8 - Tablets from Dell

Has an FHD display and a kickass chipset, the details mentioned on the website about the chipset are incorrect

Intel Atom Z3480 SoC - NotebookCheck.net Tech

No tablet, inclusing the Nexus 7 will offer better specs than this in sub 20 range

dont get dell over the nexus 7 or fonepad 7
dell rarely releases updates and getting spares/custom roms etc arent that easy
i think wait for nexus 7 price drop only or you may even check out ipad mini 1 if you like

Yes there are, the FHD variant costs a few hundred Rs more than the HD variant.The intel chip has a good CPU and a monster GPU, superb value for money if you ask me.

If your nexus 7 goes dead due to battery being completely drained out, there is a good chance it won't start / charge even if you keep it on wall charger for 24 Hours. I have faced this.
In such cases, keep the nexus 7 connected to laptop / computer for an hour or so and then start the tablet, it would come back to life and then use wall charger to properly charge it.
May not be applicable for your scenario but mentioned just in case if someone faces issue in bring nexus 7 back to life after being shut off due to battery empty.

Well actually I have ipad mini 1st gen. Removed ti from my sign long ago. N7 price went down to 17k now and if it just goes 2k more down I will buy it instantly.

I never faced that. Battery has died totally many times but charges and starts from wall charger without problems.

However the battery connects with a 4 pin connector on a very short cable, so if it's dropped, the cable gets yanked as the battery jiggles about, and gets disconnected. I finally solved it by adding a paper wedge to make sure the battery doesn't move.

May be very specific to the piece I have, but no problems now when my son drops it

I face the same issue with my 720 and Nexus 5 when they are fully drained sometimes,no signs of life for atleast 20 mins then suddenly it starts up

On nexus 5 it was a very common thing. But there was a time when s3 got this problem and came to be known as sudden death issue with s3 later on fixed by sammy.
