[NewEgg] Nexus 7 Tablet $76

[Dealzon]

How cheap is the original Nexus 7 going for these days? Well, now only $75 on NewEgg's eBay store page. Free shipping in the continental US. Not bad for probably the best Android tablet of 2012.

2013 is worth the extra monies.

It's the old 2012 model that doesn't receive updates so I wouldn't get it still a very nice tablet tho but I bought a new one for 100 euro last year

It actually does receive updates. My mom has this tablet and she has 5.1.1 on it. However I would still get the the newest Nexus out not this one at this point.

Sweet this would be great to put Kali on.

That's probably the latest update it will get, It won't get Android M which is around the corner.

Also the 1gb of ram is a bit of low these days.

Yeah it's getting a bit dated that's why I wouldn't recommend getting it.

It actually receives updates up to the last one 5.1, it runs like shit with lollipop though

After updating to lollipop is recommended to backup and do a full reset. That's what I did after looking into more and it's run so much better since. 

 

But that's straying away a bit from the op. I did however buy my nexus 7 from ebay for 75 and thoughts its been well worth that price.

Yup and that's the problem

Yup and that's the problem

What!?!?!?!! What happened to the claim that I keep hearing about updates improving performance on the android side as opposed to "crippling" performance on iOS?

That claim is true and Android M is fairly light and supposedly works better on old devices but unfortunately the Nexus 7 won't receive the official Android M update.

Android 5/5.1 on the original nexus 7 is quite shitty to say. But a custom rom will do wonders same story for the upcoming android M it will be fine with a custom rom.

But the problem remains Android and mobile hardware develops so fast that a 2/3 year old device is outdated nothing you can do about it.
