The 32GB was also on discount, going for US$239! The item is eligible for [FREE AmazonGlobal Saver](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2013/06/10/amazon-now-ships-to-singapore-for-free-for-orders-above-usd125/) which means it ships for free to Singapore! So you just have to pay US$199 which is about S$250. Do note that Asus Singapore is selling the exact same Nexus 7 (2013) in Singapore for S$379. The only difference is that it comes with 1 year warranty. For S$130 cheaper, I can forgo the warranty! I placed the order on the 21st November 2013 and it got shipped by UPS on the 23rd November 2013. I received my item about 2 weeks later on the 7th December 2013. For S$250, the specifications of the Nexus 7 (2013) is actually very good, it beats the crap out of my existing [Nook HD+](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2013/05/20/nook-hd-tablet/)! **Specifications** - CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, 1.5GHz - GPU: Adreno 320, 400MHz - RAM: 2GB - Storage: 16GB or 32GB - Display: 7.02″ 1920×1200 IPS HD display (323 ppi) - Screen: Scratch resistant Corning glass - Camera: 1.2MP front facing, fixed focus, 5MP rear facing, auto focus - Battery: 3950 mAh (up to 9 hours active use) - Wireless Charging: Yes (built-in, Qi compatible) - Wireless: Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G) 802.11 a/b/g/n, NFC (Android Beam), Bluetooth 4.0 - Ports: microUSB (SlimPort enabled), 3.5mm audio, Microphone, Power and Volume buttons - Sensors: GPS, Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Compass, Ambient Light - Audio: Stereo speakers, Surround sound, powered by Fraunhofer - Dimensions: 114 x 200 x 8.65 mm - Weight: 290g By the way, in case you are thinking of getting the Nexus 7 (2013) LTE model from Amazon, don’t bother because US’s LTE band will not work in Singapore.
