Looking for a good Android tablet. Your opinions? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im looking for a good tablet, but i dont know who i should pick.
I want it to have good specs and run ICS.
Would also be good if it has a good developer community, easily rootable and may roms and mods to back it up.
Sorry if my english is bad
Thanks in advance!

Google nexus tablet coming out in a month or two... is a good option if youre willing to wait.

motorola xoom has everything your looking for!

Acer Iconia =)

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1. I´m deeply contended.
The only thing that sucks is the update policy of samsung. I´m waiting for the update to 4.0 for month.
So, if you chose a Samsung tab, take the newer generation wich has 4.0 as stock.

Galaxy Tab
I have a Galaxy Tab 8,9 and love it!
It will get ICS soon.
I think this is the best platform to develop because the screen has a middle size for a tablet (>7" and <10"), so you can have a good idea of how your apps will be rendered on various screen sizes.

I would wait and see what Google has in store for the upcoming Nexus tablet.

There isn't one right now. In my opinion, ASUS makes the best but I've yet to see an Android tablet that doesn't have lag. I'm not an Apple fan but I can clearly see that iPad leads the way in the tablet market. I love Android, but there has yet to be a tablet produced that matches the iPad as far as performance/usability goes.
Having said that, I'm super excited for the Nexus tab. If it is everything it's being cracked up to be, it'll be the first Android tablet worth buying.
BTW...I have a Xoom, Transformer TF101, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and 2 Kindle Fire's...I'm not just blowing off steam here.

How good for you to consider as "good"? dual-core or quad-core?
Also, do you care whether it's 7" or 10"?

Minimum dual core , i dident even know they made quad core tablets

For 7", Google Nexus (made by Asus) and Acer A110 are supposed to be real good. I would pick the Nexus.
For 10", we will have Toshiba (geez, I forgot the model# ), the Asus Pad, the Sammy Galaxy Tab 2.

galaxy tab 10.1
or acer iconia tab
tested both and theyre really awesome

I love the Galaxy Tab 2. It just depends on what you want to do with it.

Hy Man Wait till The New Nexus Tablets come out It'll be Cheap With Good Specs
U can chk my thread to know abt the Sony Nexus Tablet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712105

I'd wait for the Nexus or to get a tablet that has reliable custom ICS rom. Just to avoid having to wait on a vendor to provide you with updates.

Acer iconia a series. I have the a500. Many roms to chose from. Flexreaper rocks.
Howevere if your willing to wait the google nexus (asus nexus) is soon to be released and it promises to be a very affordable powerhouse.

Why N1, Nexus S is available and better,
or Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC ( release date: April )
Nexus one is an awsome device.. I own one
But it has the same touch screen capability as X10 ---- > Dual touch
Considering the timely updates you get with nexus one... I think it is best bet.
I would recommend Nexus S
Well i bought a nexus one from google when they were available and it wasnt to long before i got rid of it for the X10 and havent regretted it yet.
Thats my thoughts.

how would you judge the two phones when it comes to the x10's 8megpix ??
xperia x10 with the all modifications.. same as Nexus S..
I wouldn't recommend nexus one because you are just exchanging for a pure Google experience product. Megapixel doesn't determine picture quality. Its all about the lens, sensor, and image processing software. Pix quality of course x10 is better than nexus one.
Go for nexus S or wait longer for dual core devices. X10 doesn't have Froyo and Nexus S's hardware doesn't perform as good as the hummingbird CPU in Nexus S.

How long have you have your X10? I wouldn't change it before "squeezing" all its potential.
My advise: keep it at least one more half of a year, and then start looking for your next phone. Now, if you can't wait and if you wish to keep in SE's line, Arc is your option, but for me, is not a great phone, I only remark the Bravia Displa, Gingerbread and the HDMI plug-in, anything else is not a big deal.
Or Nexus S.
hey guys... thanks a lottt...
ive been using the x1 only fr about a few months..
tried out most of the roms out there
guys.. but dont you think the nexus one is worth it ?? its htc after all
plus... the AMOLED.. n when it comes to updates ????
comments pls
Correct me if i am wrong, but i remember nexus one have an exact same proc with x10, which mean it's not actually an upgrade if you change your x10 into a nexus one. The only better thing is RAM. --in terms of hardware.
If I where you, I'd try and remember why you bought the X10 in the first place. I mean, the Nexus One was already available when you bought your X10, so obviously it has some qualities that made you choose it in the first place. I am guessing it was the look of the device, and the camera, right? Those are the X10's biggest distinguishing features, so I would like for another Android device that comes close to those.
As far as camera is concerned, there probably is no better Android available yet. Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S is the next best thing in this regard?
As far as looks is concerned, nothing really comes close yet, in my opinion. Although I really like the way the HTC Desire Z looks for some reason (and I don't normally like HTC designs, too boring).
But why are we even talking about these old phones? Next month it's time for the Mobile World Congress 2011, during with numerous new Android phones will be introduced and some will even be released by then, with brand new hardware like dual core processors and new versions of Android that will make our current phones look really outdated. Right now seems like a bad time to switch to another phone: I would wait for just a little while longer.

no need to get N1, its the same gen as X10
if u want the best current gen phone then get HTC Desire HD / HTC Desire Z
the dual core phones will take a bit of time (3+ months) to come to market...
The Nexus One is ugly.
Stay with the X10 until dual core phones come out.

Honestly, it doesnt even seem like a question to me. Especially with the new roms that are wiping the floor with the other current gen phones. Just sayin.

If one is a color purist like me, then the AMOLED screens are a DISADVANTAGE, actually. And it's going to stay that way until a new-gen AMOLED arrives which doesn't mess with the saturations.

[Q] Which phone should i go for?

Hello everyone!
I wanted to buy a new phone but i am a lil bit confused. I like to play HD games on my phone, surf internet, listen music,take pictures and a GOOD battery life. Here's the list of phones in which i m confused:-
1. HTC One X
2. Sony Xperia S
3. HTC One S
4. LG Lucid 4G
Which of the above phone should i go for?
Please help me out!!
It depends on what you want out of a phone. For example if you have giant hands you'll probably want a note. If your not a giant but still want a big screen, Galaxy Nexus. I have a Nexus and I'm amazingly happy with it and the community around it. Saying this the one X has had amazing reviews and has a quad core. Hopefully this enlightened you some what.
Edit: I don't personally like xperia phones and the software they come with. So that's why I didn't mention this one

4. Samsung Galaxy Note I1717 ( wait for the galaxy s3)
This is just my view but i would go for the galaxy s3 or the galaxy nexus, the s3 will be a popular phone and thus will get a lot of dev support.

Is this close enough to the prime roms and stuff will work. Or is it going to get its on Sub Forum at some point?
I would also like to know the same. Gotta ditch the stock bs.

Ditto. One of my concerns for getting this tablet was if there would be developer support. I imagine though, that porting things from the prime shouldn't be too hard, although I also know how much work it could be + the processor is technically different. I can't wait either way!!!!
asus does a good job with their upgrades. what advantages do you all see with custom rom's on a device with such good support?
I guess what I'm looking for is root + custom kernels. This is my first tablet and first asus product so I'm no expert in this field haha.

custom roms are usually always better because they bring features and tweaks not found in stock experience. alot of times they can also be more stable than stock. just go to developement section and look at some of the roms feature lists. it can completely change and improve your experience with the device.

I am literally sitting spamming F5 looking for this info
I'd be content for at least a little while if I could just get mine rooted.
I would love Root as well. Considering that the 300 hasn't even been out a week officially (got mine yesterday), I think we'll see some good news in due time.

Is this phone worth buying?

Sorry if this has already been posted or is in the wrong section i am new to the forums.
Okay i recently got into rooting and putting custom roms on my phone right now i have an HTC evo 4g.
But i am eligable for an upgrade with sprint i have been waiting for a while because i knew there would be an amazing phone to be released soon enough and i am starting to think the SIII.
Is this phone worth it? I would only be paying 250$ for the 32gb and 199$ for the 16gb with my upgrade.
is there any other phones that are up there with the galaxy s3 on sprints network? Or should i just go and get this phone.
is it alot faster then the s2? also will i be able to put jellybean on it if i was to get it? is there a stable release out.
Yes. Go get this phone.
Is the best currently available.

Buy the phone if you want it. It's a great phone but it may not suit your needs. Check it the specs and compare it with other phones you can choose from .
Your s3 model won't be the international version, it will be the dial core version so check their forum to see their development.

The dual core GS3 has documented and developer-friendly Qualcomm = definitely worth buying.
S3 is easily the best phone I have ever owned (and I have owned a great many top-spec phones).
That said I preferred the S2 in terms of size and weight. But the S3 has a higher quality screen and considerably better battery life
Oooh i see now the I9300 is the quad core version which is not in the US
The US version is dual core.
Okay how big is the difference in speed between the two?

Should be similar on stock touchwiz. The dual core one is lightyears ahead of the Exynos one, though, when it comes to custom AOSP roms. Why? Well, just ask @codeworkz ^^

Thank you very much.
Just wanted to add my opinion to this one as I'm sick of all the exnos bashing.
Just because cm devs can't get it to work properly does not mean it's bad. It's the best version and I've never ever used a ti Omap or Qualcomm based phone that wasn't **** and dont get me started on cm roms on phones as from desire onwards I've never encountered a cm version worth installing as they aren't worth it. Stock android has always been and always will be lacking and ugly no matter how many cookie cutter mods you implement like volume button wake which is old old old.
Do yourself a favour and stick to Samsung based roms and save the headache and the laughs from people who see your stock android device and the pictures that come off the aosp camera among other things.
The SG III is way better value than the iphone 5.
If you want something "worth buying", you are the only one who can actually decide on this.. because it may/may not suit you. So i suggest you search and gather info for yourself so you get accurate infos
I do not mean to flame or anything, just a mini-suggestion. Hopefully this will help you in your decision
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I am surprised that no one said that you should wait for the Note 2 or the new Nexus or the next Galaxy S x, where x>3. There will always be better, but when you actually start using the phone you see that you don't need anything more, except less call log lag
It is that great that I don't even have the urge to root it right now and I rooted and reflashed everything android I had before.

[Q] Best Mobile for Development, Budget $ 800

Hi, Tech Guys here!
I don't know if I'm posting in the correct category but I thought it would be the best way to decide here which device to buy. Yes, I've looked on various sites and reviews for the best mobile device out there. Surely, most of them would suggest any one of the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One and Xperia Z. Well, I've not found any review considering the development of the devices and I don't think I'd. Thus, I decided to post a thread here on XDA where I can easily get recommendation for it and can have my priorities considered by the techies here. At the moment, I own a Samsung Galaxy S II. The only reason I still love it is the continuous development for it. So, my kind request to all of you here is to help me decide the best phone out there - the budget is INR 40,000 ($ 800). Here are the priorities (decreasing order):
Obviously, Android! I don't want restrictions for using my own device. I want the possibility to tweak the settings. I want Custom ROMS, Apps or you can say everything what this site is made for.
The best development support - I think Samsung and Google are the best for it, no?
Battery Backup. It's fine if I can improve it noticeably with tweaks.
Storage
Hell outta performance. I was very disappointed for the reviews that said though having the best performance, S4 noticeably lags a much.
Screen with good contrast and colors. Size also matters.
I don't want to pay much for bloat.
I don't know why my heart is not letting me go against the S4. But I can make the same understand if I've your points here.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone.
I've also added a poll to vote for your choice.
s4 is great but one x is better suited for developing Android roms. Many roms are available for one x but s4 doesn't even have a official cyanogen

Correct me if I'm wrong

Get the nexus if it is for development. It is the only line that is fully supported by AOSP.

True, i'm just pissed at AT&T for my locked-bootloader-s4
That problem will sort itself out soon though...

Well I have had a recent dealings with some of the devices from India and to be honest if it is for Development you may end up importing. Avoid Micromax and any of the OEM that import from China. Maybe the S3 maybe a good one or the S4 If the Nexus line is not available to you. Oppo Is also working hard with developers.

Yeah, I mean the device should've nice development support but the other stuff I've mentioned in the list also matters. I'll be comparing Nexus 4 with S4 (i.e. Researching...)
