Will Nexus 7 release in India and what is the expected price?

[tkin]

Yea! you are right! only a few thousand people will buy those music, ebooks, movies, tv shows, magazines etc practically in India.
Have you rooted your nexus 7 with Toolkit yet?

A bit more people will buy, provided they cost same, I will gladly pay 50/- for PowerAMP music player(sadly it can't be cr@cked), and maybe some games, all together I might buy 10-12 apps, and I'll gladly pay 500-600/- for them, for magazines I would pay 50% of actual price, or a monthly subscription for a bunch of mags together(like netflix video service in USA), won't byuy TV show cause there is no point, pathetic web service here, I wouldn't pay for eBooks though(my bad).

It's easy to root man, just few steps and it will be rooted and can easily backup and restore. Also getting back to factory reset is simple procedure. Where you will send to repair? Their is no warranty for imported gadgets.
P.S. Put an avatar so that its easy to recognize you bro.



Heyy dude, tell me why pure google nexus phones not sale much like samsung galaxy s series worldwide.

I know how to root , I am running CM9 on my old optimus one
That's the problem, I have to send it for repairs oversees hence a hassle
Will put an avatar right away

Some of us would( me, you and a few more) but the general population here is so used to piracy that they dont see anything wrong with it, I HATE IT.

Tab 2 runs ICS and this runs JB
One major thing with nexus devices is that they get the updates the moment they are released!
yeah you're right about Tab 2 having 3g, that is a major plus in favor of it. But nowadays all Androids can tether via wifi hotspot hence I dint have to worry about that! I would rather go for the nexus even at 20k coz of the Tegra 3 future proofing and all future updates right on time!

Yeah, but for people going to office, they lack the luxury of wifi hotspots, same with college etc, also note 3g is much faster than most broadband services now a days, and the big plus is the sd card slot, I want one such slot, and lastly what if samsung releases JB by this dec, that will level the playing field.

Wifi hotspot is using your phone's 3g services on any other wifi device, hence I will effectively be using 3g services on my wifi tab.

Is there any news of upcoming nexus quad core phone by google this year?

I know, I'm not a noob, one pretty big issue there, running a wi fi hotspot drains juice out of phones like crazy, and if I had a phone I'd want it up and stand by all the time(for calls), and most android sets do not give that luxury(except maybe razor maxx), so its not an option to use a hotspot on office, college etc. That's what I meant.

Samsung will release JB by Dec, Google will release Key lime pie on the nexus around july-sept next year, samsung will have stopped support for Tab 2 by then! And btw it is highly improbably that Tab 2 gets JB by dec as original galaxy tab 10.1 hasn't got ICS till yet in India.

All speculations and rumors etc, won't come to India that's for damn sure

My sincere apologies
Yeah you are right about the battery part, I use hotspot and it just sucks the juice out of my OneX, hence I do it while having my phone on charge

Galaxy 10.1 is dead in the water, but tab 2 is not, what I mean is if Asus makes a killing off selling Nexus tab here, samsung will have to do something, either lower prices, or JB upgrade, I'd buy the Galaxy if it costs same as 8GB nexus, can't look over the sd card slot, 3g, and ofcourse support(nexus in india will be supported by asus's partner rashi, and that's a bad bad thing).

A nexus phone is likely, though I dont think it will come out soon. Google release their new version of OS every year with supported hardware and this year Nexus 7 has done the job. Maybe next year they release a nexus with A15 cores and KLP

It all depends on how both the parties price it. And as it is a google branded device dont worry about service, Google won't let Asus spoil their name in a budding market!

^^ The play credit will most probably work, wallet card won't work as NFC is not set up in India, and of course no warranty, you can claim warranty(need be) by sending it to US via a friend, sending for warranty directly to google via mail won't work as google does not support that afaik.

Google Wallet is not just dependent on NFC. You can also use it to shop on online shopping sites.

@Daksh Can you pls confirm that your Google Wallet and Play store account is also credited?? And is the play store working properly in India

 

[daksh]

Nope, google wallet and the credit both dont work here. You dont see any google wallet on the tab
play store works but only for the apps, no other content.

I think the new play store will be only for US version.
It will be not shown in Indian play store.

Have you tried market enabler? It enables the US play store.

@daksh how is the google voice search in your nexus 7? Does it works in our indian voice?

 

[daksh]

Its as good/bad as it is in any of our android devices! Google now doesnt work that well though..

 

[MANOfJosh]

What's the price if we buy nexus 7 from US? (All Incl.)

i.e. Ask a friend to buy and bring to India.
