HEAT + some!

Great price for an already amazing bit of kit ;-)

For anyone that has issues [most of which are bull crap rumors anyway] just install
the FULL nexus 9 marshmallow 6.0.1 image from scratch..

Cures all the *issues* that were not really there in the first place!

This is the latest Android Build you need to search for "6.0.1 (MMB29S)"

Nexus will also do an OTA [over the air] update, but that just replaces the potential
crappy version that may/may not have issues with it, not the full operating system..

With MM6 and EE 4G+ these fly and are super responsive + stick Kodi Jarvis Beta 5
on it and dump all your other devices to save the planet!

Available for next day delivery...presumably also to Hampshire :smirk:

Got this confused with the Samsung S2 for a second, and was excited.

It's worn off now though.

Oh, no microSD, obviously.

Good price with cellular. Have used most well known tablets except this so might bite the bullet and buy one.

Good price

If you buy it from the Google store the cheeky b's want £459, I wonder how Argos can do it for £200 less and still make a profit.

I checked yes £459 on Google but the pixel c also available at £399 but is 10.1 so bigger but 3GB Ram and 32gb for £399 but no 4G/LTE.

I had noticed this earlier this week as is was labelled as an ASUS, but all other information was for the Nexus 9. So was going to order today and see what turned up. Nice to see the name has changed

Just be aware that all Nexus 9's have the issue of lightbleed. If you have an issue with lightbleed, don't buy this tablet. There is the odd one out there that isn't affected but they are the exception. If you can make do with a 7" screen, the ageing Nexus 7 2013, (not the 2012 which has a silver frame,) has much better build quality and is faster in day to day use.

It was released at the Google show in November was it..

thanks ordered, the 32gb and being lte means it will probably hold most of this value when i sell it in 12 or 24 months (i tend to buy last years tabs, keep em and sell em when theyre two years old).

also, as this is an online only, should be able to return if dont like it due to distance selling regs.

argos are selling the none lte version for £299.99 so this is a steal, buy before its ooo!!!

Have the 16Gb non LTE version from a previous Argos offer. Nicest tablet I have had, no issues with screen or build quality - and the best sound I have heard on a tablet from the front facing speakers. And of course as a Nexus device it always has the latest version of Android - it is currently on 6.01 (dated 1/1/16)

Managed to pick up the official keyboard folio case for a good price a little later, so very tempted to trade up to this for the LTE and extra memory.

Nice deal, hot, but I have had a few LTE tablets over the years now, rarely use that function, and less and less as years have gone by with so much WiFi about these days.

Anyhow, I have a Sony Z3 compact tablet, which I love, but how does the Nexus compare, if anyone has both.

(Particularly on battery, sound)

good luck in finding one. none in southern Hampshire

Yes, I read that review just before I bought mine a few months ago from Argos. It had lightbleed and a problem with autobrightness so went back. My second also has lightbleed and my mothers has lightbleed. All purchased recently and the bleed is always along the top edge and a touch in the bottom left corner. Not so visible with a black screen but way worse with bright colours like yellow or cyan.

Don't say you haven't been warned!

+1

anyone know of a free or cheap sim for this?? i teather my phone usually but be nice to just pick it up while out and about for some like browsing without having to faff about with activating teathering.

if you dont mind 2nd hand there a load nexus 9's around people are offloading on gumtree and the like for just around and over £100.

i just scored one for £100 as im getting tired of my Teclast X98 air laggyness in android.

I have 3 for my kids to replace Nexus 7s ... ALL have lightbleeds. But I'm not fussed as I prefer quick updates for my gadgets.

Btw, I bought all 3 from Argos.

Damn website :smiley: bought one and will hope its a recent version with no issues.

All gone now.

That's just a vagary of Argos's stupid website. It makes it look like delivery items are in stock, but doesn't tell you the truth until you give a delivery address and begin the checkout procedure.

I've tried Exeter, Bristol and London. I suppose someone in Carlisle or Aberdeen or somewhere might have a better chance.

wait till John Lewis price match

I've had two seperate nexus 9s myself, the second one actually had worse lightbleed than the first. Even the display models in a lot of shops had it. The performance is also really poor with a lot of stuttering at times. Probably my worst tablet purchase and I'm dissapointed I didn't buy a Shield tablet or waited a while and picked up a cheap surface 3 pro.

If you haven't done so, definately worth doing a full system reset - especially after updating to Android 6 from 5.

​Agreed. Mine hasnt either.

​Did the same to mine. Had mine over a year now, and was first time i did it. Has made a big difference. Everything superfast ( not that there was much lag or stuttering before).

The fact ive had it so long, tells you how good it is, as i normally tend to change every 6 months or so.

I ordered one earlier because it's a great deal. Annoying though that there's no order history in Argos when logged in to your account and no email from them yet either. I have received the TCB cashback notification but that's it so far and they're supposed to be delivering it tomorrow.

Out of stock :disappointed:

Nice tablet! Have the non LTE version and works well. My advice would be to have it restart itself every night though to keep the lags at bay! (even with Marshmallow)

it shows out if stock either way, just let's you sign in then click checkout before telling you. Awful user experience.

Out of stock :-(

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8 trounces this.

Not sure why some are saying out of stock. It's online only (not in any stores) and just ordered for 2 day delivery.

Says the same to me, then fails at checkout.

Out of stock.

oos for home delivery in Midlands

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a WiFi Nexus 9 and a 4G Mi-Fi or a budget 4G smartphone and tether?

Still nothing from Argos. How can they not have an order history? Every website you buy stuff from has a record of your order... except Argos?

If you're on Nationwide you can get another £20.80 off from the simply rewards 8% cashback at the moment

Awesome deal. heat.

i knew I should have ordered one when I saw it yesterday, hopefully it will come back in stock

Don't you already have a smartphone in your pocket?
Also, the Mi-Fi could be in your bag/backpack/pocket.
Just sayin. :wink:

Don't forget if you tether with your phone and also remember some networks don't allow tethering it will hammer your phone battery and flatten it within a hour or so, my mifi also only allows about 3 hours of use between chargers.
If the sim is built into the unit like this nexus it lasts for many hours sometimes days with light use between chargers because your not transmitting a wifi signal.

got mine delivered at 10am. still setting it up, came in full retail and sealed box. no light bleed, only thing id say is very top is a bit brighter then the rest of the screen, but its not light bleed and only the top row of pixels.

photo here ive taken for yall.

fast and very slick, still updating my apps and currently downloading 5.1.1 but im sure it will upgrade to version 6 later today.

not sure how to tell when it was manufactured as i know the earlier nexus 9s had issues, this one seems fine, dont know if the top row being a bit brighter is just how nexus 9 screens are and im being overly fussy.

I'm going to get a Three SIM which allows me to use it abroad as if I was in the UK (Feel at Home service). However, I already have a Three phone with unlimited data but they do not allow tethering when roaming so the built in SIM is essential.

That is correct about the tethering and the benefits of a device with a built in sim slot.
I don't know how 3 detect tethering though because last year when we were in Spain my wifes 3 sim card would not tether in her moto g without the pop up warning telling her it was not allowed and forcing her to switch it of but when I tried it in my smart ultra 6 it worked perfectly for the rest of the two week holiday tethering many gb without any problems.

Are you new around here? We're not accustomed to paying the full RRP in these parts!

By the way, shouldn't this be marked as "expired"?

The beast has arrived and now going through update after update. About an hours worth so far.

It's on it's 5th update and this is the 1st one that is 6.0. Annoying it having to optimise all the apps after each and every one!

No light bleed whatsoever by the way.

I've done that so many times now, I'm thinking of switching to cyanogenmod as that's helped improve performance issues in the past on other devices for me.

Only 2 to go then! Mine has finished the updates and is currently transferring all of my apps and data from the 16Gb N9 which will shortly be looking for a new home.Only remaining task is the cut my micro SIM down to nano size and should be good to go.

Incidentally no issues with screen or build quality as there weren't with the 16Gb one either. I'm either very lucky or some posters are a little prone to exaggeration!

Cool, I went straight to 6.0.1 as in my previous post, but then again my username should

What is battery life

from what I remember they did stock it, but it was a while back when they did(November time last year they did as I was going to get one from there)

anyone who got this edition, goto battery options and see how much power "mobile standby" is draining. ive lost 25%, effectively reducing my battery from 6700mah to 5025mah! Ive got this thing on charge more than than not and there is no wonder why anymore. hows everyone else finding it??

Back in stock!

I'm the original poster and would like to know how to un-expire it because its back in stock.
