I've got a Galaxy S2, at stock. I love it. I sold my eee pad a month after I got it because it was just too SLOW compared to my phone... :/
Now...after months of learning android and cyanogenmod more... I want to know, if a galaxy tab 10.1... With custom roms and overclocking, can it beat my phone?
I average 3200 on quadrant. Most apps pretty much open instantly.
I used a Galaxy Tab in the store once...and it was...just completely sad. It struggled to load animations, and just looked horrible compared to my phone.
I'm really just looking for a super light, super fast 10 inch tablet. So I am curious to know if this could be it. Can anyone shed some light on performance?
Look for a quad-core tegra 3 tablet. The galaxy tab 10.1 is last year's hardware and struggles with some things. Don't get me wrong, it's nice, but if I were to buy a new android tablet right now, it would probably be the Asus TF300t, or another tegra 3 tablet. for $500+, I'd probably get an ipad or the new TF700 with the 1080p screen when that comes out.

Well, I was hoping to stay under 350, I was thinking a last gen tablet, just overclocked with cyanogenmod. But...maybe I am pushing it too far
With pershoot's kernel, you can set this thing up to 1.4Ghz. The ICS roms that are out there help make it much snappier, but as previously stated: this is already old hardware. For the money you'd spend, it's a great tablet. I am quite happy with mine. Had the option been available when I bought my tab, I would have gone for the transformer prime instead...mainly because of the quad-core and the sd-card slot.

The new Asus TF300t is $379 at most local retailers. For just a bit more than your $350 budget, you can have a quad core tab with expandable memory (SD slot). Not quite as nice as the Gtab 10.1 (the asus has a plastic back), but the performance makes up for that imo.
I recently got a galaxy nexus and my experience with ICS persuaded me to finally try some custom ROMs on my tab. The difference between stock and ICS with pershoot's kernel is unbelievable. My last quadrant score was 3487 and I'm normally right around there. If I was running CM9 instead of AOKP I'd probably be able to get it higher than that consistently. The ROMs are only going to get better as well. All that being said though, the hardware is a bit old. I don't have any issues with my tab's performance anymore but I would still evaluate other options.
Here's my Quadrant score running CM9 and the kernel that install with it.

But if your in the market to buy a new tablet... I'd wait a bit, save up a little extra money and get a quadcore tablet.

Here's what I've found so far for the specs...
4G LTE capability
Five-row QWERTY keyboard
4-inch Samsung Super AMOLED display
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor
1.3-megapixel (front) camera
5-megapixel (rear) camera
Mobile hotspot capability
AllShare
Samsung Media Hub
Bluetooth 3.0
DivX and XviD support
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
Support for Cisco AnyConnect 2.1 SSL VPN
Encryption Services
Support for Sybase Afaria
So it looks like its' CPU is comparable to the Fascinate, in fact it looks like the only major differences are 4G, a slide out QWERTY keyboard, and Gingerbread built-in.
I gotta say that I'm tempted to get this. I kinda wish it had a Dual-core CPU and Tegra GPU, but I just might pull the trigger anyway. Any news on if this phone will take current Fascinate ROMs with modification?
I'd LOVE to throw CM7 on this sucker...
Yay..... the epic comes to verizon a year later....
good day.
Strange deals between Samsung and VZW !
Edit: wait a minute... that means and official Gb release from VZW easily ported to the fassy.

Why would you want this when the Nexus Prime is just a ways reach away?
This phone is pretty sub-par to what is newly released.. this will probably be the phone for the average user who wants 4G.
Well, I'm looking at it for my wife. Who sends about 700 text messages a month. She WILL NOT USE AN ON SCREEN KEYBOARD. If you're not married, then you won't understand why you can't try to enlighten your wife.
Sadly, although it should work the same as a Charge, the demo unit at Verizon didn't scroll or pinch-zoom without the page bouncing around, and I suspect it was some Verizon demo mode that was completely hosing it, and no way I could find to turn that mode off, and while the salesmen/women tried to help, they were just as ignorant as me.
I came here looking to find out if there were any problems. Instead there's just 'tude.
BTW, I think I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus for myself.
I had the stratosphere for 3 days and took it back. Keys on keyboard were to small, the bloatware was unbelievable, the battery life sucked, and everytime I tried to open the keyboard the damn thing nearly flew out of my hand. It was bad enough I opted for another fascinate, a refurb no less. That was my experience.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
So far two days into owning the Stratosphere and loving it. After getting the root applied to the phone and removing some of the bloat the phone is really running well. If you desire an QWERTY keyboard with 4G LTE on Verizon this is not a bad option. Yes its not as powerful as the upcoming devices coming out I'll be completely honest but on its own its pretty solid so far for me.
24-Hours in...
Picked up this phone yesterday. Got it from Radio Shack for FREE with a 2-year contract renewal.
So far I am really liking it. Upgraded from an HTC Droid Eris. BIG difference!
I also wish it had a dual-core processor, but this is a great phone for free. Looks like Target and Best Buy are now offering this phone for free too.
Now just need to be able to root and flash to ICS.

lol sorry but if you want a high quality tablet, this is not for you.. this is a great tablet to jump into the tablet game because of the low-cost but comeon now... its not that powerful..
Hahaha these little crap tablets give Android a bad name! They're saturating the market with low-price, low functionality tablets that virtually NO ONE wants. When it comes to cheap tablets I'm pretty sure the Fire and the Nook will be king (but mostly the Fire), so there's really no reason to have these things. They give ifans a reason to bash Android IMO.
This actually looks better than the Fire to me. I might be a buyer for my 7 year old...Why not? It doesn't look terrible. Wonder if it is completely 100% lead-free? lol
I'm cool with this. Cheaper tablets give us more options. There are people who basically just want a tablet to read ebooks and play the occasional angry birds. That's what's Android all about. Having options.
LOL, looks like asus slacked for too long and got beat by some cheap china tablet company...
You snooze, U loose!
Ohwell, atleast when the prime finally does come out it will have ICS hopefully right around the corner, and hopefully it will make the diffrence we all been looking for.
That chinglish makes my head ache, coming from a Chinese guy.
Lol, Asus is pissed already, but this will kick it
But unfortunatly there are no measurments on the page.
It looks pretty thick.
So what are the dimensions, how much does it weight?
Also it says it is already sold out when I click to order it.
Everyone cancel their preorders! There is a better tablet out!!!!1!11

I don't see that it's selling today, I see it's claiming to be the 1st ICS tablet. No different than Asus Prime has been claiming. The race is on to who will be the first to actually be the first to deliver one to a customer
well, it isn't the first Craplet device..
Different options for different budgets. That's not such a bad thing. But keep in mind this $100 tablet comes with a $60 shipping charge that makes it not so great afterall.

Time to sell my HP Touchpad. Was tired of waiting for a good android port and this little thing has a microsd card slot. Yeah screen sucks but its still nice i can take pictures and plug it into it on the go.

Hey all!
My wife and I are in the market for tablets. Both of us are in school. We both want to be able to watch movies including Netflix. And we both need the ability to create and modify Word docs.
I've been doing a lot of research and think the Prime might be the best solution for us. However, the iPad is also a contender.
If you had to do it over again, which would you get and why?
Thanks for your input!
Why ask why?

i would do it again in a heartbeat i love it and no tablet can match it and once it gets ics the world peace will start
i would do it again. reasons? it is more powerful than ipad2, once some software comes out that utilizes it, it will be even more of a beast. the dock adds a whole world of utility to this tablet. also, I think it is the best looking tablet.

Yep what he said.
I would do it again without hesitation. Apple devices are locked down, and therefore restrictive. With an Android tablet, you can do much much more!
It can also be customized to make it your own! Without hesitation, YES- I would do it again...
By far the best tablet I have ever owned and used. Blows the ipad 2 away in my opinion and the gaming is just amazing.

I agree 100%
i would do it again, the biggest reason for using it over an ipad2 is the dock, if you're planning to do a decent amount of word processing on a tablet, the TF line with their respective docks provide the best user experience in that regard compared to any other tablet on the market.
if i had to do it again id wait for ics. Im not overly impressed with the prime. I think once apps and os can be optimized for quadcore then it will be the best tablet. But for now most apps and HC are not so you wont see a significant difference.

exactly, short n to the point. this device has me more satisfied than with my Og iPad.
I know I am digging this up from a while ago, but...Would you still do it? I just ordered one from HHgregg for the $399 price ($411 with shipping). I have been watching these forums and doing research but I jumped at the lower price..so I ask you...
Would you buy this again? If not at full retail, then at the 399 price?
Edit: I'm pretty sure this should be in Q&A...Sorry about that, I just dug it up using the similar thread functionality
I'm in the market for a 7" tablet of some sort, as while I'm happy with my TF-101 Transformer it is rather bulky and I've begun to think that the 7" form factor really hits a kind of sweet spot. My choice at the moment seems to hover about the Nexus 7, because it gets the latest firmware updates with Google's blessing, which means also that custom firmware for it comes quickly. However, like all Nexus devices the Nexus 7 does not have an SD card slot, and that feels so wrong to me. I'm a damn media hound and I'd rather not have to transcode stuff all the time to make it fit.
The Kindle Fire HD(X) 7 is pretty nice looking as well, however it too lacks an SD card slot.
I've been considering the Asus MemoPad HD 7, but its specs are rather limited (roughly equivalent to a 1st gen Nexus 7), and from what I can see, there isn't even a dedicated forum section for development on it here. No one's done a KitKat-based ROM for it yet, though the TF-101 has one... I wonder if Asus is making a successor to it that would be equivalent to the 2013 Nexus 7.
The Acer Iconia B1 seems to be in a similar situation, and it seems that rooting the thing, while possible, is troublesome, and there have been reports of bricking. I can live without CFW, but I cannot live without root access. I have sworn never to buy a computing device I cannot get root access to.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 looks like my best alternative to the N7, but it's slightly above my approximately US$200 budget. It always seems that way: when I bought the Transformer TF-101s back in 2011, I was also considering the original Galaxy Tab, but it was twice the price of the Transformer. Which is why I bought two TF-101s instead.

Personally I'd get the N7 2013 and use a portable Hard drive or USB stick if I really needed some offline storage.
But to answer your question, as much as I'm not their biggest fan, I'd recommend the Samsung and find the other $40.
So guys, I would like to buy my first tablet, and i'm indecised between shield k1 and Nexus 9, I was also thinking about the galaxy tab s2 9.7 but it's too pricey for what it offers IMHO. I'll use the tab mainly for media consumption (heavy games, browsing, movies, emails).
From I first started researching infos about the Nexus 9 it's immediatly appeared all the frequent issues that comes with this device (Light bleed and unoptimized performance) but all these things were related to the Lollipop version of android, and now with the Marshmallow/N version seems better, so this is my question: it's still worth to buy this device? Does the performance are really fixed now or there still many cases of lag/crashes (as appear to me)?
I really like "+1 inch size" than the shield but seems this device is just heavily compromised (as performace), and all these things are leading me to buy the Shield K1. As a final note, I like to use stock android version, and seems that with the Nexus 9 the real game change comes when you install a new ROM, do you confirm this?
Any input will be appreciated, so don't be afraid

Personally, as much as I adore my n9, I'd probably go k1. I prefer the size of the n9, the 4:3, great devs, and in hand feel. Other than that though, Google dropped the ball with Vulcan, and nVidia has been going great with updates.
I'm also interested in Lenovos new tablets.
@jimmix93 do yourself a favor and get a pixel c. It is worth the 100-150 dollars extra imo.

TBH, i'm in love with google pixel C, but I can only find it on Ebay on a very high price, not lower than 650 $, so that's why I choosed these two tablets, espcially the K1 for it's price.

Mee too i'm interested, but I don't think they will be at same level (as raw power) as K1 or Nexus 9. We'll see
I got mine off swapa for $200 a few months ago. personally I think it's still a relevant device. Turning encryption off, and a kernel with 2amp charging really helps. It takes out the frustration. Most complaints about the device come down to speed and charging.
Not over clocked my AnTuTu benchmark awhile ago on pre-released 7 was 101k. Remix 3 was around 95. On official N (no encryption, oc) getting 107k. My point is behind the benchmarks is it's keeping up with the devices still out there, and they're the only way to show over the Internet that it doesn't feel slow.

Personally I have the N9, my son the Nvidia, so I can compare...
When you want to stay 'standard' (no tweaking / custom ROM/Kernel) , buy the Shield. Standard out of the box working very well.
When you are not afraid to root, tweak en flash.... Buy the N9. Out of the box I was not satisfied about the snappiness and use custom kernels to fullfil it.
