Hi,
I'm debating whether to buy the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or wait? What do you guys suggest? Should I wait around for the Galaxy Tab 2 or the Galaxy Note 10.1? I will primarily use it for web browsing and books/textbooks. I usually find pdf versions of all my College textbooks online so the Tab would be great to use on a daily basis for that. Any opinion is welcome.
Thanks for your inputs.
Personally I'd wait until the delayed June release of the Note 10.1 but that's just me.
Fact that it will have the quad core Exynos processor, microSD slot and the digitizer make it more desirable already.
Decisions - Decisions!!!
Now that the specs and pricing for the Galaxy Tab 2 has been revealed, I think the original may be better than the Tab 2 based on the processor alone. I'm sure pricing will go down on the original 10.1. Although, the Tab 2 does allow for memory expansion! Here are the Pros and Cons.
Galaxy Tab 2 Pros
-microsd
-Ice Cream Sandwich
Galaxy Tab 2 Cons
-TI OMAP 4 processor
-VGA front facing camera
-3 megapixel rear camera
Galaxy Tab 10.1 Pros
-Ice Cream Sandwich (some time this year)
-Tegra 2 Processor
-2 megapixel front facing camera
-slightly thinner
Galaxy Tab 10.1 Cons
-don't know when Ice Cream Sandwich will be released
-1 year old specs
What do you guys think? Get the original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, or get the Galaxy Tab 2, or just go with the Asus Prime, OR continue waiting for the Note 10.1?
I don't see OMAP 4 as being a clear cut loser to Tegra 2. Then again I don't game much at all . . for me I'd rather have the OMAP 4 for the additional video decoding capabilities it has over Tegra 2. You'll find lots of complaints/questions about HD video playback on Tegra 2 devices.

dont buy SGT10.1
it is about a year old. I own one and lately it has been crashing alot (non rooted version using Go Launcher HD for tab). If I were you I'd get Asus eeePad Transformer Prime or Ipad3.

That's a good comparison. I bought mine in January and debated quite a lot over it, knowing a newer tablet was coming. For me, it came down to the price of the tablet AND the price of accessories. You can find some great deals on accessories for the original 10.1 right now and likely find the tablet for $350 or so. Accessories for the GTab 2 will likely be at a premium.

Samsung has just announced the successor of its highly popular Galaxy Ace Android smartphone. The successor of the mid-range device is dubbed Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus and improves several key aspects of its hardware.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus comes with a faster, 1GHz, CPU, 3GB storage and more RAM than its predecessor - 512MB. The Ace Plus also sports a marginally larger HVGA LCD - it measures 3.65" in diagonal compared to the 3.5" of the original Galaxy Ace. The exterior of the smartphone also got redesigned and it's now made of glossy rather than matte plastic.
Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus
The rest of the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus hardware is pretty much on par with the firs Galaxy Ace. You get a 5 megapixe autofocus camera with LED flash, dual-band 3G with 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm audio jack and a standard microUSB port.
The internal storage is expandable through the microSD card slot, while the Bluetooth version is 3.0.
Unfortunately, there's no information about the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus pricing and availability at this stage.

hi
i'm planing to buy one of those...galaxy tab 7 or HTC flyer...
wts ur idea?which one is better?
thanks
SG TAB 7 has working ICS already wheil Flyer well we all know how it is...
Hardware wise... do the math...
I wouldnt change Flyer for Tab regardles OS.
Neither. Get a Nexus 7, unless you have to have an SD slot. The Tab is a good value for the money, but the nexus 7 makes it look like a ripoff lol.
But if your wanting best bang for the buck with an SD, and a rear camera, than yeah get the Gtab2
EDIT: Wait what tab are you talking about? Samsung has 3 7 inch tabs. The orignal Galaxy Tab, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, and the new Galaxy tab 2 7.0. Because if you're talking the original Gtab, than the Flyer is worlds ahead of that oversized Galaxy S1 phone.
hi guys
how are you
iam planning to buy new tablet but iam confused dunno what to buy
any help ??
iam thinking about sony xperia tablet s or galaxy note 10.1 or nexus 10
any suggestions
You should get the Samsung Note 10.1.
I love that tab. It has a very accurate digitiser and powerful specs.
Nexus 10 best on the market build quality ah not the best
Personally, I dont like the Nexus 10. The nexus 7 is great though.
Take a look and compare the development threads of both devices and you'll find that Samsung Note 10's development had slowed down a lot. Not much of choices too. If you like ROM and kernel developments, go for the Nexus 10. If you like extra features like S-pen, ext SD and stuff, go with Note 10.
10 inch tablets on android currently are not that great. I would much rather get a nexus 7 :good:

I ave a nexus 7. It's great, powerfull, great gaming experience and it's not expansive. You can buy it, but if you want a 10.1 tablet, nexus 10 has a better resolution, and cortex A-15 processor, or you can wait for the new samsung tablets (coming soon this year).

It's better buy Galaxy S3 at that price if you can forgo dual sim functionality. It's the most popular and successful Galaxy series smart phone. Much better specs at a sacrifice of dual sim functionality.

Agree. S3 is the most supported device by custom dev. Try to visit their thread there's so many good custom rom and custom kernel.

Just ordered it from India. Should get it next week.
I love my Note 2 but need a dual sim device. I own s4 mini duo but it is too tiny
Will let you know comparison between N2 - S4 mini duo - Grand 2

I'm looking yo purchase a tablet in the near future. Mostly just to watch movies and play games. I'm probably not willing to spend more than 150.
I'm currently looking at the ASUS MeMO Pad 7 ME176CX-A1
You can check Lenovo Idea Tab A5500 or if you can get a Xiaomi Mi Note.
Nexus 7 2013 or samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0. Sticking to your price range,I wouldn't bother with anything else.
I just picked up a asus me572c at best buy for 150. So far I am pretty happy with it besides a problem between it and Bluetooth controllers. Screen is great and the specs are better than the me176 you mentioned. I did like the form factor of the galaxy tab 4 7 . the bezels are kinda large on the me572c. But just wanted better specs than the tab 7.
The Nexus 7 best tablet you can buy for the price in my opinion as has is always up to date on android version an is not too big and not too small
Buy one of the Nexus tablets for sure , great price, great ROM & Kernel variety , easy to root , why wouldn't you choose Nexus And they last longer
Grab a nexus if your videos and games are small. If they're 1080p and 1GB games, consider something else, as the Nexus doesn't have a MicroSD slot.
