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.

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).

Thanks guys , i guess i will go for nexus 10 cuz am looking for many choices of roms
Hello, I have a Galaxy Note 2. I don't find the need to upgrade to Note 3. I use the S-pen often to write notes and use the devise to read/annotate pdf. I also take photos very often and sometimes videos as well. I also use the voice recorder. I found the screen of the Note 2 a bit small. I have to change my glass and zoom in all the time. I have been waiting for the Note Pro 8" but disappointingly Samsung only announced the Tab Pro 8" without a S-pen. I suppose that in the summer or later this year, they will make the Note Pro 8" available. At that time, I will certainly buy it. Between now and then, I am considering whether or not to trade in my Note 2 for the Xperia Z Ultra. Any opinions appreciated.

Do you take a lot out photos? If yes, i would skip the Ultra to be honest.
I have note 3 and XZU and if you take a lot of pics then stay away from Xperia Z Ultra. The camera is very bad and pictures have a lot of noise in them.
I am going to do a photoshoot with the Xperia to see how bad it really is. I am an amateur photographer but I will only take the phone this time to see what I come up with because when using ISO 50 and 100 I am getting decent results unlike when I first got the phone and was shocked how horrible things were.
Thanks for all the replies.
1. Somewhere I read that there is an optional lens that could make the device one of the best in terms of photo quality. Anybody tried it? Can't find it on the local Sony website.
2. I have an extra stylus from Note 1. In terms of drawing and writing, how the Xperia Z Ultra compared with the Note 3?
3. Is there a good screen protector to avoid scratches?
4. How about the voice recording capability?
5. Is it easy to do file transfer between the device and PC especially the Mac?
6. I use ezpdf reader. Does larger screen means seeing more things at larger size?
Before the Note Pro 8" comes out, if not trading-in for the Z Ultra, what do you recommend? Too bad the iPad Air and rMini do not have a phone function.
1. That's the QX10 and QX100.
2. The S-Pen and other Wacom styluses doesn't work.
3. I would think so, but I'm not using one, so I don't know.
4. Quality wise? No idea. Not using it.
5. No tools or programs are necessary on Windows to transfer files. It's just drag and drop. There is an Android transfer tool for Mac.
6. Yes. If you want even more space, lower the screen DPI. I think you'll be fine though.
Overall, it doesn't support the S-Pen or other specialized styluses. It supports regular pens and stuff like that. The camera isn't good either, but video recording is okay.
The Ultra is mostly targeted at business people who has to handle a lot of documents (especially reading) and stuff like that, and it won't match your criterias if you like to draw and use styluses. It's a powerful tool, but I personally think you'll be happier with something that has all these stuff you're asking about integrated in a better way (like a Note).
Can I ask you what you plan on using it for? Work? Studies? Hobby?

Do you think note pro 8 gonna have phone function? as i recall, tab pro doesnt. Coz if tab pro have phone function, i might buy that one
It really comes to size I owned 6 of the note 2's nice phone but too small for me, I owned a note 3 which is a great phone to me it was much better then the note 2 but also too small - it lasted 2 days and I went back to the ultra once you use this Sony for a few days it is very hard to back to anything smaller. The note pro 8 does looking very interesting I am also looking for something bigger to replace my galaxy tab 7.7

I am a scientist. I use it mainly for work and hobby. In the past, I printed out lots of power point slides and pdf files for reading. However, I cannot carry all these with me while traveling. I am looking for a device that is excellent for annotating research papers and power points in pdf format. I like to take photos and videos. I spend about 1.5-2 hours on public transportation. Want to get some work done while waiting at the bus stop or on the bus or train. If there were a Note Pro of about 8" (with S-pen and phone capability), that would be the best. I would just trade in my phone for such device. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Samsung decided not to release a Note Pro 8" but a Tab Pro 8". Is this a marketing strategy? Anybody has an idea when the Note Pro 8" would be out? I guess probably in the Fall. Considered to get the 12.2" Note Pro. Not sure if it is too heavy to use while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.
I tried the device in a store today. I viewed the same pdf file from both the Ultra Z and my Galaxy Note 2. Viewing the pdf from the Ultra Z was much better. The background was white and the letters were clear. Everything looked good until I tried the camera. The images were very bad compared with the same ones taken from my Galaxy Note 2. Wonder if I should buy the iPad Mini Retina Display or iPad Air. Then, trade in for the Note Pro 12.2 or Note Pro 8 later.

The camera is not too bad in good light, and is even usable if you don't use the stock camera app
I tried it in a store. It was very bright! Do you mean using other camera apps could lead to better quality photos? Which one do you recommend?
Those are my toughts:
The biggest mistake made by Samsung was from the begining. Notes were always THE FLAGSHIP of Samsung. Best processor/ best internal memory/best ram/ best camera.
This year Samsung has a big succes with S7 series and they considered that with Note 7 they done enough with 64 gb internal and better s-pen and waterproofing. Note series was always innovating. Now it's just a little upgrade from S7E.
I still consider Note 7 the best phone atm and I'm searching for a replacement of the "safe" N7 and I can't find anything.
What do you think about this?

Android
Dex
Included Pen
memory card slot
They said that apps in ios is better than Android, coause it billed for iPad.
Dex is perfect just for some apps only
Ipados 15 beta still doesn't have progress bars for transfering files. Ya i would have gotten the m1 iPad pro 12.9. But Samsung gave me $500 for my tab s6. Also Samsung and amd have a chip coming out that's gonna have double to gpu power of the m1.

Ipad with M1 chip is superior device when it comes to share performance. So if you really need the processing power for your tasks, then go with Ipad M1. There is no other device on the planet than can beat the M1 chip that Apple has made. That goes for the MacBook M1 as well, beats the crap out of all Windows Laptops, even $2000 ones. And don´t forget the M1 chip needs no fan for cooling, so 100% silent and cost only $1000.
However, if you want the best tablet for entertainment, normal usage of normal apps, best screen on the planet, 120 hz refreshrate, good dolby atmos speakers, 45W super fast charging and great DEX features, then S7+ is the bomb! Also I think the S7+ has a far better design than the Ipads.
Avoid the smaller S7. It does not have OLED screen, so blacks are gonna look trash.
Thnx , today I got s7 plus..... finally.
