Old guy Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Nexus 7 16GB (wifi) going for 8999 at Flipkart. Worth getting it? wait for nexus 7 2013 even if its 4-5 k more expensive imo its worth it ..
randomGuy Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 There's 15% cashback on purchases of Rs. 10,000 or more on domestic Standard Chartered credit and debit cards till 19th Oct btw. http://www.flipkart.com/s/flipkart-and-standard-chartered-cashback-offer?otracker=hp_widget_banner_tab_0
10DuLKaR Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I was just checking the same and then I saw your post. Looks a real attractive price' date=' doesnt it?[/quote'] Yes it is. Very tempting. Just 4-5K? It will be more expensive than that, I think. :hmmm:
Sachin=GOD Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Yes it is. Very tempting. Just 4-5K? It will be more expensive than that, I think. :hmmm: the 16gb version is for $227 on amazon.com so when it comes to India (most probably next month) it shouldn't cost more than 15000 in India IMO.
randomGuy Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 the 16gb version is for $227 on amazon.com so when it comes to India (most probably next month) it shouldn't cost more than 15000 in India IMO. Right. And if we think of Reliance Jio 4G LTE to be launched in '14, we may wanna buy 4G LTE version. But 8999/- is still very cheap and if one buys through standard chartered credit/debit card, he gets 15% cashback on minimum of 10k of shopping. Nexus 7 (2012) Pricing: $199 (16GB), $249 (32GB) and $299 (32GB + 3G), Nexus 7 (2013) Pricing: $229 (16GB), $269 (32GB) and $349 (32GB + 4G LTE), Specs can be compared here: http://androidadvices.com/nexus-7-2012-vs-nexus-7-2013-specs-features-pricing-info/ Google is gearing up to launch the all-new second generation Nexus 7 tablet in the Indian market in November, three months after its global launch. Sources told TOI Tech the internet giant is likely to launch the tablet on its own rather than through its Taiwanese manufacturing partner Asus. Google is currently testing the tablet with Indian apps and customised content. Asus, which manufactures Nexus 7 tablets for Google, is unlikely to be involved in the retail of Nexus 7 in India. The tablet will initially be sold by Google's retail arm through AndroidLand store in Noida (near Delhi) and Bangaluru. Run jointly by Google and smartphone maker Spice, the two AndroidLand stores will start stocking the second-generation Nexus 7 tablet some time next month, sources said. Google has already confirmed on its official webpage the new model of Nexus 7 will be coming soon to India. Apple's new iPhones 5S and 5C will also hit Indian stores on November 1. A November launch for both the second-generation Nexus 7 and the new iPhones will bode well for sales during the festive season in India. Thus, the new Nexus 7 will come to India four months after its global unveiling. Its predecessor - the first generation Nexus 7 - had arrived in the country nine months after global launch. Google is also gearing up for global unveiling of the Nexus 5 smartphones soon. Meanwhile, online retailers have started selling the current Nexus 7 model with major discounts. The 16GB Wi-Fi-only version is selling for Rs 9,999 on e-commerce websites, as compared to the official price of Rs 15,999. Its 32GB Wi-Fi variant can be purchased for Rs 13,499. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/hardware/Google-to-launch-new-Nexus-7-in-India-next-month/articleshow/24195899.cms
StriKe Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Get nexus tablet or samsung..other tablet company suck at providing updates or they give you crappy hardware at lower price.
Jersey #10 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Bought a Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE 2012 used. 21,000 USD, 9000 miles on it. Good deal? The total after taxes was a little over 23000 Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
Holysmoke Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 for all those talking about getting a 4g phone.. remember that reliance, airtel etc have a different band of LTe.. so phones bought from the US will not work in India. Heck, the nexus 5 doesnt support Indian LTE bands.

randomGuy Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I use tata photon plus 3g in delhi apart from WiFi. I would be keen for 4g unlimited plan which isn't expensive.As some Indian telcos like the Reliance Jio Infocomm are all geared to roll out 4G services in India early next year, manufacturers like Micromax, Karbonn and others have already begun working on LTE-enabled devices for India. Some insiders have told Business Standard that the 4G devices in India could be priced somewhere between Rs 15,000 and Rs 44,500. The 4G technology for India would be different, so 4G or LTE devices used globally cannot be used here. While India and China use TDD LTE network, most Western countries use FDD LTE. Karbonn is developing a large 5-inch device likely to be priced at Rs 26,000 for LTE consumers, the company's managing director Pradeep Jain said. Moreover, Karbonn also plans to launch LTE devices in lower price segments starting at Rs 4,000 in the future. However, all of this is possible only when the telcos finally roll out 4G services in India. Huawei is reportedly testing devices, especially smartphones, with China Mobile and Reliance Jio, as both India and China use the same LTE frequency. Huawei is said to offer LTE-based devices priced between Rs 15,000 and Rs 20,000. This is in addition to the Huawei Ascend P1, which already is being sold in India. * LG has disclosed that its recently launched G2 will get a TDD-LTE variant when the service is launched. The 16GB and 32GB versions of the LG G2 are priced at Rs 41,500 and Rs 44,500 respectively. You can check out our review of the G2 to see if the LTE version is worth waiting for. Among chip makers, Qualcomm has already begun working with device manufacturers to offer cheaper 4G LTE phones. Bharti Airtel offers LTE services (only data) in a few selected cities like Kolkata, Bangalore, Pune and Chandigarh. However, it has very limited customers. Reportedly, Airtel has recently slashed prices for its 4G services. We’d earlier heard that Reliance Jio Infocomm wants Samsung to provide 4G devices at Rs 5,000. However, reports claims that a possible deal could not go through due to the Rs 5,000 starting price that Ambanis’ expect.] Interesting that 4g is 2 types - TDD in India n china, FDD in the west. devices are incompatible.
Detonator Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Airtel does have a decent 3g in areas with less traffic. The prblem is they rig the data usage. My brother used to recharge for 10gb, which would be sucked up in a week. He used some app to measure the 3g and 2g data, and he found out that he reached the data limit in 5.6 gb(upload + download). bsnl has best 3g overall.

Detonator Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 relaince 3g is good in city but outside there is not even network for cell reception in some areas yep. they don't have much coverage, but they do a good job wherever they have network.

Check out the prices here - http://www.tataphotonplus.co.in/ I am hoping reliance jio 4g increases speeds and decreases prices.
