Are we talking about giant folding tablet phones or actual tablets? I only saw one mention of folding in the article but it was just about OS updates. I'm not sure a phone that unfolds into a tablet works with current technology. It's a fun gimmick and some people apparently love it, but the phone aspect ratio is weird, they're chonky, and there's a lot of room for mechanical failure.
At any rate, I had both of the Nexus 7's back in the day and was very disappointed when they just... stopped. Now I have an iPad Mini and it's awesome. I can't see myself ever going back to Google after they just left us high and dry once before. Especially when Apple's lineup is very stable. I'm positive there will be another iPad coming. Google tablet? Who knows.
- Hamuko 5y agoDid the Nexus 7 fail commercially or what? I remember it being fairly popular in reviews, popular enough that I bought one. And then it kinda just fizzled out. I do remember the Nexus 7 having pretty major "big phone" vibes, since it occupied a kind of awkward size between phablet and full-sized tablet, and I don't think most software were really using the screen to their advantage.

The second nexus 7 lasted until THE LAST firmware update bricked two devices at the same time. I have a rooted fire 10 now, no amazon or google on it and it's been useful for a few years from content
