This is the new Nexus 7 that was on sale in the US last week, with Full HD 7" screen, Qualcomm quadcore CPU, 2GB RAM etc. Have no idea when it is going to be on Google's Play Store in Australia, and looks like it won't hit the retail here until September — at unknown price too. MobyCity has already attempted to do a cash-grab by selling the 16GB Wi-Fi version at $509 + postage…

That's where B&H Photo Video comes in, who often posts many US-only electronics at US price but with a bit of postage fee.

In this case Nexus 7 16GB costs USD $229 + USD $38.86 postage = USD $267.86 ~= AUD $300 delivered.

Yeah it's only a few months ago you have AUD > USD but unfortunately this is the price you have to pay these days. The last generation Nexus 7, which is still pretty good, are sold at $179 delivered for a 32GB refurb unit and that might be a better buy if you don't need the latest.

Edit: It's surprising that B&H only has one review on ProductReview.com.au and a pretty bad one-star one as well. My dealings with B&H has always been excellent.

    At this price the last generation is imho a better buy, double storage for nearly half the price

      If your main purpose for a tablet is for storing music, video, loading it up with lots of heavy games, etc then yes, more storage = better.

      However I have been putting off buying the last gen N7 ever since the spec of the new N7 came out. Full HD 7" makes it a 300+ DPI screen, Qualcomm APQ8064 makes it quite a bit faster than Tegra3. It also has HDMI out via an add-on, which is one feature I really need but Google/Asus left out in the last gen N7.

        True true, it all comes down to the use. 16gb though doesn't leave much wiggle room for full HD content, wish they had stuck a micro sd slot in. Maybe that will be the revolutionary feature in the third addition :)

        • ESEMCE on 02/08/2013 - 10:43

          The old one had USB OTG, I presume this does too.
          Not ideal, but if you "need" the extra space, it's available.

          But truth is 16gb is plenty for me. My tablet is at home most of the time.. and i usually stream most of my stuff.. either from plex or over the internet.

          I'm sure they will… But I don't recall reading any updates to state as much.

      • bargaino on 02/08/2013 - 09:50

        I'm surprised the Kindle Fire 8.9 wasn't more popular. Has full-HD 16:10, same sound system as the new nexus 7, and HDMI out. Main downside is the need to side-load apps that are not in the Amazon store, but that should not put off the Ozbargain set so easily. Especially if it goes at $229 again.

        • ESEMCE on 02/08/2013 - 10:43

          Dual Core is a turn off to me.. I prefer that size though. 7" is a bit too small for my liking and 10" a bit too big.

        Don't forget the 2GB of RAM compared to just 1GB in the old version. That will make a huge difference if you like to switch between apps and have a few browser tabs open at the same time.

    It sounds like the person who reviewed BH on productreview is a bit of an idiot, it looks like they got stung by import duty, which I am pretty sure is clearly stated to be the responsibility of the buyer.

  • [Deactivated] on 02/08/2013 - 09:48

    I'll be waiting on a $250 32GB price point. No rush, I still love the N7 I have and 4.3 just made it even more buttery smooth!

    Also hdmi out is something that I have hardly ever used even though I have two of the bloody cables laying around here (for 32GB + 32GB SD Xoom)

        Dodgy, but effective..
        I've done this for one of my chargers.. the pin isn't actually bent at all, the plastic housing has deformed to allow the pin to make the 45 degree angle.
        I don't take it out of the socket for fear of the plastic giving way.

    • scotty on 02/08/2013 - 10:17

      Yeah it charges with standard micro USB port, and I'm sure most ozbargainers would have half a dozen lying around in the house, as the industry-excluding-apple seems to settle down on that plug.

        It is not like any store I've been to. There is lots of stock everywhere to look at, but if you want to buy something you have to order it, ie. go to one of many counters, the person behind the counter will put it in the system, it'll arrive about a minute later in a box along the conveyor belts. You confirm it's what you want and then off it goes in the box again. You get a ticket for the item.

        Once you've done all your shopping and got your tickets, you go to the line of counters at the front and pay for all the items on your tickets.

        Then you move to the next counter at the front, show them the ticket and collect your already bagged up goods.

        I tried to put some audio books on my bro in law's iPhone 5 last night, what a PITA. Couldn't shift any files over without installing iTunes or taking a chance on some possibly dodgy third party software.

        • theguyrules on 02/08/2013 - 15:07

          You CAN do it with apps such as CloudReader which allow wifi uploading to the device, no iTunes or plugging in required. Or email it to the device.

          Personally I find itunes incredibly unintuitive to use, it runs terribly on a PC, and I object to having to install software just to copy files onto a USB drive. It's alright it you already have a Mac with itunes and an apple device I guess.

          I do, and its nice on the desktop, but still hate the idea of being forced to use itunes to "sync" my phone/tablet.

          So much nicer to be able to load videos over USB or wifi from anywhere, and use my own choice of music manager.

        • theguyrules on 04/08/2013 - 21:31

        Why is there such a debate on Apple vs. Android on every thread about a device.

        I just think there are three groups of people. First, there's the Apple camp, who will always buy Apple regardless of whatever anybody else says. That's fine, I have certain brand allegiances too. But then some Apple fans will go out of their way to prove that their Apple device is superior to another (usually Android), stating pretty common points such as integration, "smoothness", reliability, build quality…etc.

        Then there's the Android camp, those who will always buy Android. Some of them will go out of their way to point out how superior their hardware specifications are to Apple's devices…etc.

        Then there's the rest of the people who will just choose a device based on it's merits. There are probably very few of these people.

        At the end of the day, each of us will like different things, some will like Apple, even though they may make crappy, expensive products, just like some people will like BMW over Mercedes Benz or Mazda over Toyota.

      Well that is your choice, but there's really no comparison between this and an ipad mini. Even last gen N7 was arguably better than the mini, but I suppose it depends a lot on personal choice and whether or not you invest into one of the ecosystems. There's always an early adopters tax when new tech comes out, in a few weeks they should drop down a bit in price if people are willing to wait. If not pay extra now, and enjoy being one of the first with a new toy. :)

    I am interested in Ordering the 16GB New Nexus 7. Don't need much space anyway as OTG is always there. If anyone else in Melbourne(I am in CBD Area) is interested , please PM me . We can order together and share the shipping.

    It would be around $285 shipped for each Nexus 7 2013 16GB Model. We should get it by end of the coming week as the 16GB is already in stock with B&H. I remember I paid exactly the same($285) in last August for my Nexus 7 16GB from officeworks after price matching, so not a bad price :D
