I am looking for the best tablet I can buy around $200. Which one of these do you guys think is the best: the nexus 7, 7" kindle fire HD, acer iconia a110, or the Samsung galaxy tab 2 7". If you guys know any other good ones around the same price, please tell.

Take the Nexus 7. You'll receive the latest Android updates (highly optimized, too) and, if you need more storage, you can mount an external hard disk or any pendrive using stickmount.
The problem with the nexus tho is the no TV out
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Yep, that's right. I don't need it, but if you do, then the best choice for you can be the Iconia.
Can I use a headset with a mic on it on the nexus? BC I found some people complain about the built in one.

The Nexus has only audio out. That makes no sense for me... but well, I haven't designed it
Anyway, I think would be better if you ask in the Nexus 7 forums, those guys will help you better than me

Have you looked at viewsonic gtablet? There are a lot of different roms for that once you have it rooted.
7 " size - Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
1.Stock recovery is fully open and ready to flash out of the box
2.Fits in my pocket
3.IR Transmitter so you can use it as a remote control
4.Fast
10" size - Asus Transformer Prime
1.Best specs of any tablet right now
2.Convertible
3.Asus says they are committed to unlocking the bootloader
4.Fast
Good luck.
The original transformer is a good buy for the price and features you are looking for.
Asus announced a Tegra 3 7" today for 250. Seems oki paper.
$1 gets you a reply
Asus Transformer

I am on the fence about the Transformer. Someone I know has the original in great condition for only $300. I'm sure he is going to use the money to get the Prime. I'm wondering if its a good buy at this point or should I spend the extra two bills and get the Prime myself.
Any suggestions??
Good point
i have a HTC flyer and I'm very happy with it.
I was wondering if anyone would trade their TFP for a galaxy nexus lte.. I was originally offered by someone else but when I displayed interest he decided not to do it.. I'm still willing to do the trade if someone wants to.. its a brand née nexus that's never been used.. I have 2 of them

GSM or LTE?
I dunno...something seems odd. I have both and I use each for different reasons. I'd keep the prime and wait for my contract to run out and get a next phone with the renewal dicount.
PS - Galaxy Nexus is now $100 with new contract.
No I have GummyNex and they want to trade their TFP to me.. I'm tempted I just don't know if its worth it.

The galaxy nexus costs more at full price... so it actually does make sense. /fail
who cares about the cost that's not the point his statement is perfectly valid. There's many things that cost less then other products but still out do them. Plus I'm pretty sure the cost of making a prime is more then making a Gn. Retail is just different for both

I can get the galaxy nexus, brand new and sim free for £350 (from a high street shop) you wont find a transformer prime for that. Id swap in an instant if i had nexus
Sorry, it'll take more then a Nexus phone to get me to give up my Prime.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Well the offer is still out there.. the TFP is just the tabby I want so it doesn't matter the value of the phone.. if someone wants to do it please let me know
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
i have both and honestly if i had to choose one to keep it would be my nexus, it's FASTlike faster than my prime, including most web browsing, using same browser both with adaway but i still prefer the larger screen of the prime, the camera on the nexus out preforms my primes camera in most situations surprisingly, also the nexus is more expensive unlocked at least in the US, especially if you get the GSM version like i did, luckily i got it for about $150 from dailysteals. So i completely understand why the OP would want to get rid of his nexus for a prime but at the same time i would keep my nexus.
I would say speeds are comparable however in gaming the prime blows past nexus

PM'ed you.
You still looking for a Prime. I have one I'd be willing to trade ya.
This thread should be moved to the market place IMHO with a shadow, as there is a dedicated forum for buy/sell/trade, and already biters.

I'm talking about value. Not price. There is a reason I didn't put the costs there. Plus, it is hard to get a good unit so do you really want to trade and buy another and end up with a wifi borked unit? Suckit.jpg

Sadly, an iPad II. I seriously don't know what possessed me! At the time there wasn't really an Android tablet that appealed to me or that was available in my country. I desperately want to get rid of it and replace it with a new Galaxy Tab. iOS is crrrrrrrrrrap! You cant even do simple things like Bluetooth files from one device to another! Some of the apps and games on iOS are ok but as for the functionality/customisability, it is non-existant!
I have the nexus 7 32gb version. Before I had the Asus transformer.
Both great tablets but I fancied a smaller form factor after a year with a 10.1 inch tablet. And I could not resist the 7's price tag either! Especially after I tried a friends one at work one time.

Are there any Android devices with similar specs to the Nexus 7? I'm looking for a 16 GB tablet with a $200 price. Don't recommend any of those generic Chinese tablets either... I want something with good build quality and full access to the Google Play store.
You can try the Acer Iconia A100. In all honesty you'd be better with the nexus. The A100 is stuck on ICS and the nexus 7 will have the latest software

I would get the Nexus 7, but Best Buy doesn't sell it. I have a Best Buy gift card that I received for Christmas. What about the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0? Is it any good?
Archos is coming out with a line of "platinum" tablets. You may want to give them a go. They're not out yet, but they look pretty nice.

Don't know much about the galaxy tab 2 but from what I read it is a good tablet. I'm pretty sure it has jellybean now too. That would be a good alternative if you don't mind touchwiz. Since Best Buy doesn't have the nexus I would choose the galaxy tab. A lot better than the Acer a100.

Iconia A100? Don't you mean the Iconia A110, cause the one you mentioned is an older model. I'm pretty sure the newer Iconia A110 has Jelly Bean already.
I've been looking in to buying myself a tablet, but I want one that's fast and smooth running. Ipad is great because of how smooth it runs and transisittions between pages, but I want something that my S4 can interact with. Any suggestions? I'd like to root and flash ROMs on whatever tablet I end up with so obviously ipad and surface are out. I don't know much about any of the others out there so any help would be fantastic!

One of the new Nexus 7's possibly? It's pretty much universally agreed that it's the best if not one of the best Android tablets on the market right now. Also, it's super easy to unlock the bootloader since it's a Nexus device and the development community around it is huge.

Agreed, I had the first generation Nexus 7 and absolutly loved it! Im hoping to get the 2nd gen somewhat soon. And they are very cheap compared to iJunk tablets
I thought the Nexus devices were phones.... Am I just that dumb? Lol... Can these tablets be purchased at a best buy or only online?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There are actually 2 Nexus tablets on the market right now... the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10. The 2013 Nexus 7 is an excellent tablet you can buy directly from the Play Store or other places online. The Nexus 10 is also worth considering if you want a bigger tablet, and it also has the BEST speakers of any tablet on the market. Personally, I'm waiting for them to come out with the "updated" Nexus 10 like they did with the Nexus 7. Either way, as far as Android tablets go, they are both winners. The only other tablet I would recommend taking a look at is the new Samsung Note 10.1 - it has a gorgeous display and all of the productivity power of the Note software and stylus. It's just a little too pricey in my book though.

Go on youtube and watch pocketnow's videos on tablets. They have the best reviews/comparisons and will help you figure this out fast.
Can't go wrong with a nexus 7 2013. I own one and it really is butter smooth and definitely worth the money. It's also my first tablet. Great investment!

Yeah I think a bunch of these devices had wifi issues. Pop on over to the Nexus 7 (2013) forum on XDA for details. The 7's are great and inexpensive but ASUS isn't exactly known for their QC. Good luck!
