Not sure if it is appropriate to post here, but just to show some of the sample photos taken by the N7 2013 if there are potential buyers curious about the camera of N7 2013. Pretty decent I will say. :D







The only change of the settings is to reduce the WB to -1. I find the default WB is kinda over-exposed. :o

For full res, feel free to visit here

Guys, is getting an export nexus 7 2nd gen different compared to future released singapore nexus 7 2nd gen? Is there a difference like in terms of software update or such?


I have never bought from overseas site like amazon or adorama I was thinking of getting nexus 7 2nd gen from them. Is there like a tax fee? Higher postage charge? What about the conversion rate?

Yes, you need to register with cgw first, afterwhich they will issue u an addressee details which your purchase can ship to. Then you make a purchase at amazon with shipping to this said address under cgw.

Barring LTE specifications which differ in countries, nexus device is standard whichever place you bought from. Software update is standard across since they are not subject to manufacturer or telco bloatware. You shouldnt be incurring any US sales tax since most forwarders like CGW is in tax free state. However, singapore GST rules still apply if your shipment value exceed 400SGD.

When i bought mine on tuesday, the conversion rate was 1.337 sgd to 1 usd.
First timer for CGW has some promo. But i guess it has to be DBS or POSB to be eligible for the promo.

My charges for shipping:

International Shipping Charges: 13.85

Fuel Surcharge: 1.18

Mandatory Insurance:
(Declared Value & Shipping at 0.65%.) 1.96

SUB-TOTAL US$ 16.99

Promo Code Discounts Applied: -1.39

Shipping Credits Used: -10.00

Total US$ 5.60

when you purchase from amazon your tablet, you pay amazon first then ship it to your U.S address that CGW has provided you with, everyone's is unique.

Then when your tablet reached CGW, they will email you saying it has arrived at their place and you can then wait for other products if any and combine ship or just ship your tablet straight to your spore address and CGW will let you know the charges for shipping only as tablet is already paid for.

Use DBS/POSB cards to enjoy free upgrade from standard to express speeds and also 5% off.

overall it will be cheaper than SG, no additional sales tax when shipping to forwarder like CGW, Borderlinx. Then pay another shipping charge to ship your tablet to spore.

Conversation rate it depends, I'm usually charge around 1.30++

Did you check out in SGD on amazon? Always remember to check out in USD. Will be cheaper.

If ordering from amazon, select to pay in USD, remember this. Your 16gb set should cost $320+

yeah i selected USD!.. too bad chromecast is out of stock.

another QS.. how come when after place my order, there is no sms verification from the bank for the purchase?

once i press place the order, i lead to another page with order number.Is this transaction is successfully placed and they will charge to my credit card?
