Google Discontinues Nexus 7

[BigFoot48]

I hope to continue to use mine for many years - a great device!

If you're in the market for an affordable, highly-rated, not-too-big-not-too-small tablet, your chances to buy the Nexus 7 are quickly running out. If you were planning to purchase one from Google directly, then your ship has already sailed. That's because the company officially discontinued the 7-inch tablet on Friday, and is no longer selling it on the Google Store's website. You can still find one from other places, but you better act fast.

I hope Google will still provide support.

I love how the nexus line continues to get the latest updates from Android even though our device is discontinued lol

The Nexus devices are definitely one of the best things to ever come to Android.

Bring on 5.1.1 & 5.2

RIP, Google no longer sells a tablet that works well.

Same here, though it seems that the battery lasts about 3 years. It may all depend on availability of bateries in the future.

How long does it take before they stop updating a device that has been discontinued? I hope to use my Nexus for a few more years

I think it will get at least one more update. The 2012 N7 got the lollipop update and it was disconnected some time back.

I'm contemplating whether or not to pick up a 32GB model. It's on sale at a good price. I don't need another tablet though as I already have an iPad Air 2 and an iPad mini 3. However it would be nice to have an android device again as I'm all Apple at the moment. I do have a chrome-cast though.

It's reasonable to expect updates for about 2 years, but so far even the 2012 Nexus 7 is still getting updates, so we don't know the answer yet. Honestly, it may depend more on when new updates take advantage of newer hardware, and thus just aren't compatible with the older devices, like when PCs went to 64bit processors.

Anyway, why do you think you need android updates to keep using the device?

Check the post date, that was a couple weeks ago, the sale is most likely long over.

I'm in the UK. The nexus 7 2013 32GB model is on sale for £149.99 right now from Argos.

I guess you are in the U.S. Though.

Yes, I am in the US but that price converts to $230.36 USD. That would be high for a discontinued device... But thanks!!!

I paid $200 for my 13' LTE N7 store demo. Check swappa..

The price was £230 at launch in the UK. We always get ripped off with conversions.

Now the price has dropped to £130 for the 32GB model too good for me to miss out on even if it will be my third tablet!

I'll pick one up tomorrow.

I hope they aren't still providing Nexus 7s with Google Fiber TV installs.. My Nexus 7 went belly up last year, and I'd prefer they provide something newer when they hook me up next weekend.
