Im getting my first tablet, lol... (its a thing now... back then it was like, im getting my first car, now tablets...)
im actually choosing between the New Ipad or Note 10.1...
Gaming in Ipad looks great but i dont wanna leave Android. I have a GS2 and its wonderful...
So before i buy the Note 10.1, and found out how low the Dpi of it, much lower than GS2...
with Low DPI does it affect the game quality?, im not a pro with these stuff. Thanks...
IOS games have much better graphics guality so if thats important to you go for ipad
dpi improves experience but its not mandatory

Cnet has a pretty good write up talking about it, but I thought it odd, but interesting, to compare something so small to something so big. While I don't agree that one requiring a full size dedicated tablet could easily forego that need in favor of a Note, I do find that they offer up some good talking points. I gave up my nook color for the time being, things are working out well for me so far, but time will tell.
Edit: Added pic.
They are comparing the note 10.1 which i believe is a soon to b released tablet... Not our phone so not sure why the guy is talking about our phone in the article????

Looks like it is a comparison to the Note 10.1 tablet.

Yea I caught that after posting and while reading comments on article. Wasn't aware of a 10.1 Note in the works. Will be interesting to see what churns out. I kinda like the idea of side by side apps...dead space and shadow gun at the same time...hmmm
Maybe you should change the TITLE to reflect it is the 10.1
I like the paper and pen quibble.

Far ENOUGH. TITLE should make THINGS clearer, figured it MAY be easier then RANDOMLY capitilizing works in our SENTENCES to get our POINT across.
I love the smartass governor on my setcpu profile, it always kicks in randomly

Just wait until Samsung OFFICIALLY announces the tab 10.1/11.6 perhaps even today . Just like before right after Apple releases their iPad Samsung will come out and top it. Last year Samsung went ahead and changed the ergonomics of the Tab 10.1 within weeks to have a slimmer lighter tablet compared to the iPad lol .
It was originally rumored to have a dual core CPU that similar to our Note phones with the same resolution. I have a really really good feeling that will not be the case that it could have a even faster CPU, & mind you that have not even said what the GPU is. I can assure you that Samsung has prob made changes to that of the specs we seen at Mobile World Congress, i hope
They will not let Apple go about their glory without a fight. Especially after them taking shots at the Galaxy tab during their keynote. Which someone at Samsung has already commented on lol.
Samsung has a rumor going around that they are "pocketing" a Galaxy Note tab 11.6" with a resolution of 2650x1600 beating out the new ipad by a million pixels.
Either way Samsung has something big today at 4pm central. Could it be the new Note tablet, ICS for our Notes? Galaxy S3. Who knows its still Samsung so lets not hold our breath lol.
I dunno about you but id love to buddy up my Galaxy Note with a 11.6" version
Well they I kinda only compared one set of features that really were pretty much the same thing. Cool but they over looked a lot of stuff on the iPad. This is coming from someone who hates apple products.

I will be interested in the Galaxy Note 10.1 once it comes out. I just pre ordered the new ipad. (I had a $500 gift card from a sales contest). It delivers March 16th. Depending on when the Galaxy Note 10.1 is coming out, I may sell the ipad. Does anyone know when it is coming?
I love Apple products, as a shareholder! Wish Samsung was publicly traded in the US!
Hey guys!
Ok so I am going to be on a concession line soon with best buy mobile and im torn between the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S3. As far as I can tell, the only SIGNIFICANT difference is the stock touchwiz version. Now I know the processor is a bit beefier than than the Note as well as other things, but im talking BIG differences. Anywho, Ive looked around and it seems possible to run touchwiz 5.0 on a Galaxy note, which would make things a bit easier. My only concern is fluidity. I want this phone to run damn close, if not completely fluid. So what do you guys think? Get an S3 and save the trouble of go with the Note and flash TW5 which is where my first instinct was?
To be honest, with the lte version of the s3 only difference there is, would be that the s3 has 1gb more ram and tw5. The processor speed is the same on the note once you root it which would be 1.5 ghz.

Pretty sure stock the processor runs at 1.5 Ghz. To be honest I just convinced my friend to grab the SG3 and I have to say I love it. I would highly recommend that phone and you would probably have quicker access to an official jellybean update

I thought the Note was LTE as well, or is it just "Faux"G
Note is definitely lte. Also, though the note and sgs3 are both 1.5 GHz dual core, the note has the s3 snapdragon, while the sgs3 has the s4.

I have both... I wouldn't worry too much about the Rom and cpu too much..if u like bigger screen and spen functions get the note. if u just want a phone get the s3. . Anything that s3 has you can easily get it into the note anyway (rooted note). . The only thing note doesn't have is screen stay on.. I have to say after u have a big screen phone. U will not wanna going back to smaller screen..

Hi,
is this a good idea to replace a HP Touchpad running CM9 with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1)?
I ask because I dont understand why Samsung put only a 1GHz dual processor.
Should I get something else ?
Thanks !
PS: The real question is not the money. Its a gift for someone who needs a great display and long battery life. And of course, you can suggest another brand.

Advise on a tablet.
Hey guys, noob here, first post, hey all - pleased to be here
I'm after a little advise, hope you can help. i'm looking for a tablet for my mum for her birthday. I am based in the UK and am looking for a tablet that will run
1. Tescos online shopping and others ASDA etc. i believe its a uk locked app this has caused me some problems on a chinese tablet (an onda vi40) that has now been sent back wouldnt run even after running the build.prop mod
2. Iplayer, 4od etc over wifi. i'll be honest my router is a draytech and its a few years old now and the wifi isnt gr8 on it. iplayr etc run from my samsung s3 fine, xbox live works well too in the livingroom.
3. Browse the web.
not demanding processes i know but thats all she needs it for, video out would be handy if she wants to watch it on our living room tv but that important as long as the rest works.
i am stuck which tablet to get her,its going to be an eBay job, just confused oin what to get. i would lean towards the samsung (because of my phone n how good that is, at the moment) and HP touchpad kinda puts me off because of the bad experiance i have had wiht the onda and because the touchpad wasnt designed to run android. just a little careful after what i have been through witht he onda
thanks in advance

The omap in the tab 2 while clocked lower is still much faster than the touchpads cpu. Its also very similar to the galaxy nexus which makes it easy to port ROMs to. I have used cm9 on both. Its much smoother on the tab 2 than on the touchpad. Cm10 is also officially supported on the tab 2?

Although I've only had my Mega 6.3 for 8 days, I've gotten used to the large screen. Now that the Note 3 has been anounced, it's got a 5.7 screen and I think that's too small. Once you go large, you can never go back...
I love the features and the horsepower of the Note 3, but the design... it looks like the Note 1 again. Bigger rounder corners like the Mega are better for comfort in your pocket in your jeans. i think i have to hold it and try be4 i buy this one.
Yes me too mega is the beast... disappoint of note3 size
i9205 Tmobile USA
Same here. Although I am still kind of on the fence.
I'm picking up a 16gb mega right now. I'm back lol.
I didn't like the note 3 design, I was hoping for a large 6 inch screen. Acer s2 liquid also looks good.
When I had the original Note I didn't feel attracted to the Note 2 because the difference in screen size wasn't big and it was actually lower resolution. It felt like a downgrade and anything smaller felt lacking even if they had better CPU/GPU. That changed when I saw the Mega and now I can't get excited for phones having a smaller screen. The things that I was hoping for that might interest me with the Note 3 was a bigger screen in the same pocketable size as the Mega, optical stabilisation, and 64gb/128gb standard internal memory. Those never happened so I'm much better off waiting for the Mega 2.

You took the words out of my mouth. The megas screen spoiled me.
I think the Mega screen spoiled all of us. I just can't see going to a smaller screen.
This may sound like sour grapes but it's not. IMO, the 3 has way too much stuff. I mean, if it gets unlocked and rooted and people install a custom ROM such as 10.2, then most of the stuff is not going to work anyway.
I came from the org Note and rooted and installed a ROM the first day I had it.....never used the spen as it was intended.
I've had my 6.3 for a little over a week and I'm still finding things on it. I just found the task manager two day ago.
So, my vote would be no on the Note 3. I'm very happy with the Mega and will be even happier when it gets rooted.

What you said about the CM rom disabling the features of the Note is actually a really good point.
True the screen resolution of the Mega isn't the highest but it sure looks good anyway!
So yeah, agreed too, will pass on the Note 3 ^^
Only downside of Mega is that it's such a niche product that I'm afraid that the developpement will be slow
I'm still hedging between the Mega and the Note 3.
I really want a powerful device with the latest specs, but the Mega's screen real estate keeps tugging on my heart.
I guess i'll wait until the Note 3 is actually in stores so I can play with it myself. That's the only way I'll be able to make a good decision. I am excited about all of the features. The enhancements to Multiview look pretty nice.
As an aside, I hope they do another Dropbox promotion soon. I need more space.

I agree. High end devices tend to be more of a numbers race to beat the competition while the mid range is more value for money. With the Note 3 you will be paying for specs and features you will never use or don't need. If most people think like us in this thread then I'm confident more people will buy the Mega. It only had 2 months in the market and just available in the US so it's still early days. With the price getting lower after the release of high end phones (the Mega is now just £316 on Amazon) it will be a hit this Christmas.
This is somehow a re-post of mine from another thread but I think it applies perfectly to this thread too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been holding on and skipping devices that really appealing to me(LG Pro, Oppo, Sony Xperia Z, etc) for the Note 3.
I was going to order the Xperia Z Ultra but thankfully I convinced my self otherwise. I'm not playing many games now days nor using it heavily.
Mostly for above average media consumption, light gaming, browsing.
Also as I said I was waiting for the Note 3 since the day Note 2 was announced since I decided to skip a generation.
And thankfully I decided to skip the Note 3 for the Mega. I really wanna go even bigger this time. I don't mind the mid-range performance.
And since my original Note with Asylum 4.3 now feels so incredible(it felt good with custom JB 4.1.2 too), I can only imagine the Mega will blow my mind.
I got the Note 1 at launch and I paid for it quite dearly for it back then.
And today I got my Samsung MEGA(i9200). HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! I'm really in love with this devices. The size, the screen, its sound are just... amazing!
I can't even remotely explain how I feel about it. This IS really the device that ever wanted.
I'm using it for a couple hours now and I can tell you I wouldn't even think about trading it for a Note 3(for free yes as I could sell the Note3 and buy another Mega )
This is really my preferred size of a phone. But I can go down to 6" too if the N4 is released next year and its 5,9-6,0". The best device so far I ever owned.
I also stated that I can go up to 6" when I got my Note in previous post of mine. So I was kinda always wanted a phone this big,
Watched a few trailers, videos clip, youtube videos, listen to many songs. I can say the experience was amazing. I haven't played any games yet tho.
This phone is big. You cannot really how humongous it's unless you light up the screen. The you can understand how huge it is. But it doesn't feel THAT bigger than my Note tbh.
I think that sums things up for me. I haven't felt this excited for a phone since 21 months ago when I got my original Note. Really happy owner here.
I'm torn between this and the Note 3. I don't really use the phone for more than playing games, talking, texting and facebooking. Oh and a music player. I'll watch a movie when I can. I have the Note 1 and I'm cool with the display whatever it is. The only reason I'm getting something different is because my Note 1 is about to bite the dust. Does it sound like the Mega is good for me? The only reason I got the Note in the first place was because of the size if that helps at all. I use my S-Pen to draw on pictures every blue moon.

I believe the Mega would serve you well. It is truly a great device that performs exellent. You don't have to waste money on the extra features on the Note III if you don't need them. I have had both the Note, Note II and now I am enjoying the Mega :good:

Quick question. Is the screen the same as the Note? I guess the density or whatever the hell it's called? Oh and is it the same speed or faster? Does it have MultiWindow? That's about the only thing that I want from my Note.

No resolution is slightly less due to ratio change
The original was 1200×800 this is 720 i think but could be wrong however its a brighter more natural screen as opposes to the note 1 which was a poor amoled. The note 3 is obviously a 1080p
Yes multiwindow is ther as is airview
Much faster than note 1 way slowe than note 3

The mega screen is better than note 1 and 2 imo. I think the crispness of the LCD panel puts it over the edge.
Benchmarks wise, the Note 3 will beat the Mega but actual every day performance will not be that different specially if you do some tweaks (replace Touchwiz, disable unused features, set animation to 0.5 or 0, etc).
Hi, I live in Mexico and Im about to buy a tablet this black friday for school. But I also play some games like Asphalt, Clash of Clans and Dead Trigger 2.
I know that the Nexus 9 has issues with the display and applications not being optimized, on the other hand if I buy the tab Ill get a beautiful display and better optimization for apps but crappy internals, I have a Nexus 5 and my past phone was a Nexus 4, I can survive Samsung's lack of updates since I'll get to try them right away from my Nexus 5. Is the Nexus 9 really worth it? I need it for school and it'll be my first tablet.
I know this is a bit silly to ask in the Nexus 9 section but hey, if it wasnt worth paying the price Im sure you guys will let me know Thanks in advance!
PS: Right now the Tab S is around 380 USD in Amazon and Nexus 9 420 for the 32 GB version.
Give me your opinion on which one should I buy or which one would you buy if you could decide again between Tab and Nexus! Thanks again!
Sorry about my English, it isnt my native language
The Nexus will serve you well for the coming year.
Productivity related activities, the N9 with its 4:3 screen will be better especially for your work.
Like you said, the Tab S has a Super Amoled screen which makes videos and colours very very pretty.
But for your work, N9.
Not to mention since the N9 and Tab are about the same price, why not get the one with better internals.
I had the samsung galaxy tab s and was not satisfied with it. Touch wiz blew the whole experience to hell, it was like having an really old tablet with wonderful display.
If you watch a lot of media then probably 16:9 (samsung) is preferrable but 4:3 (nexus) is more comfortable when browsing the web.
Touchwiz is terrible, which means that you'll be forced to ROM it and void the warranty.
Internals are outdated compared to the N9. Despite it being an 'octa-core' it's still slower in multi-core benchmarks than the dual core K1 in the N9.
^also s tab is older chipset is older and the s tab runs a higher resolution
Tab S would be great if it wasn't for the Exynos chipset and Touchwiz. I'm also not a fan of capacitive buttons, especially on a tablet with fairly small bezels as they will be accidentally activated.
