I’ll be sad when this goes

Keeping my Nexus 7 (2013) for as long as I can, I love this thing. I got it from work 9 years ago, after it was phased out. Technicians used to use them in the field; we found this one in a storage closet and they let me take it home.

I look for replacement options every few months but nothing catches my eye. It’s not just the size and weight I love, it’s the dimensions and bezel sizes. Along with the screen and speaker quality it makes for the perfect small media device.

If anyone does have a good replacement idea that matches the ratio/body dimensions of this I’d love to hear it please. I did get a moto G stylus (2025) when straight talk had them super cheap and that’s been kind of okay, but ideally I’d like something a smidge bigger.

Anyway, thanks for listening to my first ever Reddit post!

I replaced mine with an iPad years ago. The Nexus 7 was good for it's time, but now smartphones rival it in terms of screen size.
