[Update: 3G variant not available in Australia] 32GB Nexus 7 available from Google Play for $299, 16GB for $249

Nexus7

Update: Google has just informed us that the 3G version is not coming to Australia. Here’s what they said:

The 3G Nexus 7 is not available in Australia and we have nothing to announce about the 3G model in Australia at this time.

Update 2: While our Google contact has said the above quote, it appears that the Google Australia blog says that we will have it in mid-November. We’ll update you as we have it.


We’ve all been expecting this to happen and it has finally occurred. It appears that the 32GB variant of the Nexus 7 is finally here. The 32GB variant is the same in every way to the 16GB one, just having twice the memory and taking its price point.

Google tells us in their blog post that the 3G model is available in over 200 GSM variants around the world, but we can’t quite seem to find it in our Play Store yet. We’ve contacted Google and will update this article when we hear more about Australian availability of the 3G model.

Besides for all of that, the Nexus 7 is the same as the one we became a pardon to in July this year:

Operating System Jelly Bean 4.1
Processor Quad-core 1.3 GHz
Screen 7.0″ (800 x 1280 pixels)
Camera 1.2MP
Ram 1GB
Storage 8/16/32GB
Weight 340g
Battery 4325 mAh

If you were waiting for the 32GB Nexus 7 then head over to Google Play and get your order in.

    this was on tech crunch
    “The new 3G 32GB model will be available on November 13. Look for it in the Google Play Store in the U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada. The 16GB and 32GB WiFi-only model hits standard retail partners shortly.”

    this is awesome news though im sure theres more then a handful of people who want 3g and even more who somehow need 32gb to live lol and cheap as chips, win

      Email was sent to Google, so now we play the waiting game. I do assume it will come here though.

    if i knew this was coming i would have waited! you’d be surprised how quick 16gb goes after a few big games are installed…

    it says on the main page “reactions 0″… how do i do a big BOOOOOOOO reaction?

    Can you ask Google about a Nexus 4 with 32gb? Really frustrated they released an awesome phone with crippled space. Nexus 7 and 10 have 32gb so why not Nexus 4? Cheers and thanks for a great site!

    Yay they released the 32gb Nexus 7. ^_^

    At the moment I’m definitely going to get this but I’ll wait until after I see some review on the Nexus 10.
