What is that?

The stock setup on the nexus has this auto contrast thing that makes the screen look washed out, it's like when tv's have some stupid "cinematic" mode that makes everything look horrid. You can get an app to turn it off that needs root access (no issues with it had it for months) and it makes the screen and colours look more balanced and vivid. The pic below has the standard setup on the left and the disabled one on the right, the black level is much more natural.



I found it made a big difference on video files, skin tone and the like.

When is the LTE version set to launch? Are many going to wait for that?

Just picked it up from the post office, on first look it seems much faster than my old nexus 7... The sound is amazing through my sennheiser headphones, they really improved it :-)

does the charger from the "old" nexus 7 work with the new one?

Sold my Nexus 7 2012,

I have a few extra screen protectors for it I never used, would they be any use for the new nexus if I end up buying one? i.e. is the screen size the exact same? Or should I just give them all to the buyer.

What about cases? Would cases for the old Nexus suit the new Nexus? I`m thinking yes but you never no.

screen size is the same, but akaik, the bezel is slightly bigger, so I don't think the cases for the 2012 n7 will fit the new one.

Nice! That was quick.
But how is it on eBay when it's not released until the 28th?
Maybe it's already released?

I went ahead and got the one from Bargain Alerts earlier today. I don't really think you can go wrong for a penny!

This thread just makes me sad that i've still at least a 2 week wait to get it.

Ye are probably all watching HUKD for a good deal, but in case your not...

Not sure why, but I've just put an order in for the 32GB model, came to the posted price of £215 which is €250~ depending on conversion charges probably a few € more.
Postage to Ireland is free on orders over £130.

Only glitch is they say on the product page for the 32GB model, expected delivery is 12th of Sept, but that could be a worst case thing.

Excited now!!!

EDIT: Final price from AIB, €251.33 - not bad

Hello everyone, apologies if this is in the wrong thread but thought I'd ask here instead of creating a new one. Do you think its worth waiting for the new Nexus 7 coming out or should I buy what I think is the previous version. I've seen the 32GB version for €249 in Carphone warehouse and PC World and the 16GB one for €199. I know in the grand scheme of things its not much off but it is something.

I've never had a tablet before so this would be my first one. Don't know if that makes a difference. Any help or opinion offered would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you don't need a tablet right now you might as well wait and see if you can get one of the new ones in the first batch.

I paid less than that in DID for the 32GB at Christmas before there was anything definitive about the new model. Doesn't appear that it's discounted at all tbh. Tesco had the 16gb for €148 a couple of weeks ago - I got one for the missus (her first tablet, and she loves it). By the time you know whether space is an issue or not, the new version should be readily available or the older 32gb version should have reduced in price.

That does seem a bit expensive for what is the old model. I would wait and get the new one if you can.

If you have the cash there are plenty of links in the thread where you can pre-order now.

I haven't heard anything yet but I'll probably get an email at some point, I'd imagine they have quite a few orders to go through.

I've ordered through pc world and just had confirmation that they are getting stock in on the 26th and 27th and hopefully delivery will be on the 28th.

I'll be fairly annoyed if I'm left waiting a week!

It's a shame they abandoned the talk to... forum on here after Declan left really.

Why are people using parcel motel when GAME deliver to Ireland for the same price as a stay in the parcel motel €3.50?
