The device is dated and of course Google doesn't support it anymore. Easy enough to get rooted though with online instructions and no aftermarket software is need to unlock the bootloader and get the thing rooted. Since I use Ubuntu, I was able to use adb and load the next Gen CM which is LineageOS without trouble. SuperSu and MultiROM go in very nicely. Only thing missing is the ability to use an an onboard micro SD memory card. The "phone thing" is a really big letdown. It's only for data period! So if one is going to be isolated (where there is cell phone coverage) it's just a link to the internet that's all. No voice phone service. There are instructions online about going through SIP but my subscription card only has data and texting available. Well, at least the Hangouts dialer will get a free call out in the US via WiFi so that's a consolation. The one I picked up was in immaculate shape. I suspect prior owner didn't like the fact it couldn't be used as a voice cell phone. I bet a bunch of people were disappointed about this. Me, I'm ok with it as I didn't want to whack my 2013 Flo iteration (WiFi only) to experiment. As it is, I have this one setup the way I want to and my whack the Lineage OS to my Flo device now. Again, a real big plus is ease of unlocking the bootloader and rooting without aftermarket "report back to China" software.Read full review

Okay but it has an auto screen rotation problem. I had to do a factory reset to get auto screen rotation to work but it is only a temporary fix. After much research I discovered that the Nexus 7 (2013) is famous for this problem and it can be anything from a bad board to bad cables or interference buy apps. I am living with the problem but I wouldn't call this a good deal for over $200.

I bought the 2013 Nexus 7 to replace my Samsung S4. By using Google's Voice and Hangouts I am able to have call and text ability with these apps and also full tablet features, which I use more often. This tablet fits in my rather large hands securely and fresh updates to Google Marshmallow keep the system secure and up to date. I didn't carry my previous phone on my person so this didn't cause a substantial inconvenience for me. Finally, a cost of close to $100 makes this a great bargain!

This is my first tablet, although my wife and kids all have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7", so I have used similar. All I can say is, WOW. The tablet is small and lightweight, but feels big. The screen is ultra-sharp, and is easily used to read books or web text. The system is very responsive, much more so than the Galaxy in my opinion. web pages load faster, photos load faster, screen refreshes faster. It is nice that it doesn't come with a bunch of manufacturer bloatware (I guess you can label the inclusion of all the Google apps as bloatware, but I use all of those anyway, so in this case it was acceptable). The battery is good but tends to go quickly if you have both wifi and bluetooth running. The auto-sleep feature that is activated by the case is really nice, in that I don't have to think about the device running when I put it away. What don't I like? The navigation buttons taking up part of the screen real estate. I like the Samsung approach of having those buttons on the bezel. I have also had intermittent issues with the touch screen when in landscape mode. It seems to not want to register touches sometimes. Mostly happens when when selecting links or working with e-mail. All in all, this is a very solid device, and given the price of under $250, well worth the money. The Tablet is way thinner, lighter than the previous generation. The tablet is also a lot much faster in performance than the old nexus 7, as for the camera, It takes decent pictures but not super sharp and crisp so I wouldn't recommend you buying this tablet if you plan on using it as a camera. The battery life is not as good as the first one, but it is still decent (around 6-7 hours of use, 5 of heavy use such as gaming or movies). The speakers are ok, I thought that the surround sound that Google bragged about would be great but since this tablet is best held in portrait mode and the speaker grills are small and on the back, its very easy to block them with your hards. Overall all this tablet is pretty good and I like it, just in general dont try and install a lot of things on it because nexus devices do tend up to start lagging in time.Read full review
I've been using an HP 10' tablet for the last year and it was my go-to tool for getting stuff done out in the field. But after a couple of hours, carrying it around became cumbersome and I began searching for another tablet. This tablet fit the bill perfectly. The performance is great and the LTE data is great when wireless is not in the area. It feels good in the hand but I purchased a folio to carry it and it works perfectly. Easy to carry and use, wonderful to look at and I expected to pay $50.00 more for this level of product. It's a great little tablet and I couldn't ask for better graphics or performance.
