Hi, i decided to buy a tablet with 8" screen, i choose this size because imho is a good compromise between transportability and comfort in reading.
On the other side i saw that this size is not more diffused...
I'm looking for an android (so no ipad mini) and my budget is no more then 200 euro (so no samsung note 8)!
I looked at chinese tablets and i found interesting the AINOL NOVO 8, PIPO M5 and the TREKSTOR ventos 8... but it would be my first chinese purchase... What do you think about this tablets or bettere do you have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
Nexus 7...
but it's 7"...
1 inch won't make a huge difference. In fact, it's easier to carry. If budget constrain, you can try eBay for a good deal. The few brands that you have listed doesn't have support from XDA developers at all. Look through the Android General/ Q&A and you'll find tons of threads regarding Chinese phones/ tablets asking 3 helps...1st help - help to root the tablet, 2nd help - help for a custom rom and the 3rd help - help to unbrick chinese phone/ tablet. I don't you want all these types of problems to occur with your new tablet.
What do you think about Acer Iconia A1? I think it will be in stock from nex month...
These are the specs:
Screen: 7,9 inch 1024 x 768
Processor: MediaTek MTK MT8125 quad-core 1,2 GHz

Internal storage: 16 GB
Posterior cam: 5 megapixel

There's no S3 on the list...
Personally I would recommend the Note 4 as it one of the best in the market at this time.

LOL. I wrote it by mistake, I meant Note 4
Hey.
I currently owning ZTE V5 Redbull, with CM12.1 ROM.
I am very pleased with the device, its design, its construction quality, and in general.
Despite that, I have one major problem, and it is a problem that I just can not ignore it:
Its hardware specifications is simply low (1Gb of RAM, and 4 Gb of internal storage).
This causes the device to be slow in launching applications, and navigating within them. Due to the fact that it hasn't enough storage space, I'm using Apps2SD (just like Link2SD Pro, only free, and even more features!) in order to 'link' most of the apps to SD, which slows the device even further .
Therefore, I am looking for a device with similar features, but enhanced specification.
It is important for me to have at least 2Gb RAM, and 16Gb internal storage. More features, such as NFC, IR, etc. can add to the attractiveness of purchasing.
In the meantime I found 2 reasonable options (limited myself to 300-350 $ ) for me: ZTE Nubia Z7 Max, and Xiaomi Redmi Note2.
I noticed that the Xiaomi is much cheaper (for example, $ 180 in Geekbuying, compared with to Z7 Max with a price tag of 300$ in AliExpress) and I have no idea why. I wonder also why there's no Xiaomi Redmi devices for sale on AliExpress...
I would love to know why the difference in price, despite the fact that the hardware seem to be nearly the same.
If there is another device that I need to consider in these rates - would love to hear about it.
Thanks in advance!
Take a look at gearbest.com , u can find here ZTE nubia z 7 (flagship,QHD,3GB RAM...) for 199USD
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/1...ts-specs-price-options-and-configurations.htm
Just saw this article about a new 6.44 display phone from Xiaomi......could be the Z Ultra replacement we've been waiting for?!? I like the 6.44 screen size, which has been perfect for me.
if it has onscreen buttons i would be very interested
but for now - Z Ultra
I think it is the first viable replacement for the Ultra. It provide 128 GB of storage + microSDXC, which is an excellent upgrade from the Ultra 16 GB. The AnTuTu scores for similar devices indicate a decent upgrade as well: around 80,000 which is a step forward but it is possible the 652 version will be even better.
The main question is 240 DPI operation and ROM development. Items such as softbuttons doesn't worry me since it is possible to enable them with the right ROM/tweaks. LTE bands are another question but I would assume a similar setup as the C6833 more or less.
I think the Max is the first device since the Ultra that can be considered a step forward in most aspects.
There is another contender in the works, though: ZTE Nubia X8, which promises up to 4K and a Snapdragon 823. It is worth to wait for it before making any final decision. As the situation is now with Sony probably out of the game (a Z3 TC successor would have been very interesting but nothing in that regard seems to exist and they failed to replace the Z4 Tablet), it seems like the only companies providing devices of the right category are Huawei (MediaPad/Max series), Xiaomi (Max) and ZTE (Nubia).
It seems to be a choice between a Huawei MediaPad X3/M3/P9 Max (i.e. new devices replacing the 2 series), Xiaomi Max or ZTE Nubia X8. Other brands seems to be stuck at 6 inches or smaller.

The only problem with the Mi Max is there are no LTE bands for the US. I was considering one as well. I replaced my ZU with a Mediapad X2 last year and it's still a great phone even without LTE here.
Look for vernee apollo. just for 299usd and you will get 10core cpu and 6gb ram and 128gb storage and 20mp camera.

I totally second this! There's something about the 6.4 inch screen that is perfect for everyday use and for watching videos. I can't imagine myself downsizing to a 6 inch phone.....my eyes literally get strained from watching videos on a 6 inch screen
The new Zen phone 3 ultra looks interesting too.
Tech tablets review is very positive

I'm planning to buy either the Redmi Note 3 or the Le2 and can't decide which is better.
I'll list the pro's and cons for each. I hop you guys can provide a sound argument for which is better. Both of these phones are priced the same at 11,999 INR. And both of them have very similar specs. Otherwise both of them have 5.5" 1080p displays, 16MP rear facing camera, all the same sensors.
LeEco Le2
1. Snapdragon 652 (4 a72 cores, 4 a53 cores)
2. USB type C port for CDLA audio (no 3.5mm headphone jack)
3. Thinner and Lighter than Redmi Note 3 (7.5mm and 154g)
4. Quick Charge 2.0
5. 3000 MaH battery.
6. No SD card support.
7. 8MP front facing camera
8. No custom ROM support (yet)
9. Fingerprint sensor detects at 0.150 secs
Redmi Note 3
1. Snapdragon 650 (2 a72 cores, 4 a53 cores)
2. 8.7mm thin and 164g
3. Quick Charge 1.0
4. 4000 MaH battery
5. SD card supported
6. 5MP front facing camera
7. Custom ROMs are avialable
8. Fingerprint sensor detects at 0.300 secs
So it seems to be a matter of wanting a thinner,lighter phone with updated specs in the case of Le2 Vs more battery and expandable storage but older specs.
I plan to flash custom roms soon, but I would like to know, if it's getting the latest specs that's better than having more usability(with extra battery life and storage capacity).
Please help. Any advice is welcome.
P.S I've owned a Moto E 1st gen, been on cm ever since it came out.
It all comes down to your opinion and preference, le2 doesn't have sd card support, usb type c headphone jack,it has good scope for custom ROMs as it has snapdragon processor but I came here to know if le2 has any active development but there is no seperate forum or thread for it yet it may be in the near future but redmi note 3 has a specific section already because it launched before le2
You can buy le2 if you feel 32 gb is enough and you will be content with it, if you are like me and will download large files like movies,songs of high definition play many games then you shold buy the redmi note 3 with 128 GB memory card support because 32gb just wouldn't be enough, I saw some place saying that redmi note 3 can even support up to 256 GB maybe don't remember where I saw it though
In performance le2 would have an upper edge but just a tad bit. But the camera lens of le2 looked ugly to me and i saw the comparison of both the phones cameras and the le2s camera was a BIG no-no for me because it captured day light pictures of flowers as if they were in low light, I was having the same doubt about which phone to buy so I researched a little bit for the camera review and found redmi note 3 to better just look it up in Google, bcoz I'm unable to post link here
Just hang around for a bit and see what goes on in xda regarding the development
The link to redmi note3 forum-
forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3
There is development for both snapdragon and mediatek look out for available ROMs for snapdragon . And something called le2 pro with better specs than le2 is releasing soon just look it up.
And lol I am using the moto e 1st gen too on stock android and i typed all this on my phone
Both of those will be hard to get any real development as developers don't buy either of those devices.
So don't use development as any real way to determine if you are gonna get the device.
I've decided to go for the Redmi Note 3. But it doesn't seem to be in stock for now (Flash sales). Figured the Le2 wouldn't give me enough screen on time, I travel a lot, and GPS and 4g would kill that 3000Mah battery in two to three hours flat. (Lol, especially with Pokemon Go coming out and all). And I'm using the Moto e 1st gen too, cm13 . Camera doesn't have to be great. Come on... coming from moto e, you should know that, that phone didn't even have auto focus, leave alone low light performance XD. So I'm just looking for the best price to performance ratio phone for my budget.
And I was looking from more of a hardware perspective to buy a phone, rather than development. Thanks for replying on this post. :good:
Choose the more experienced one
LeTv is actually a pretty new phone developer, they have just started the phone marketing recently. Their TV is actually really nice. But Xiaomi has been doing smart phone for a few years already. Recommend you to get Redmi, because it might do better in a time base.

I just ordered my redmi note 3 from amazon yesterday, I feel very happy I hope you get to order one too, and the person who said there is not much development for redmi note 3 is wrong because it has a fully working cm13

I ordered it a couple of days back, only snapdeal could deliver to my address. Should be here before 18th. This would be the first time I would be trying anything other than stock android (other than HTC sense from cupcake xD)

Don't forget to video record when your opening the package incase of fraud you can have it as proof, and if taken as cash on delivery call the courier person in and make somebody give him a glass of water while you open the package and then give him the cash, you have to be careful shopping online from flipkart and amazon, and extra careful shopping on snapdeal.And I like stock Android my moto e is almost stock android, but miui is much better and with the 3 GB ram its going to be super smooth.BTW my phone is arriving on Wednesday,can't wait XD
I already paid with credit card. Thing is, the courier is India post. But fortunately the post office is nearby and I know the delivery guy. So hopefully there shouldn't be any problem.
And thanks foe the video recording suggestion. I'll do that just in case.
But another problem has come up. Apparently it's difficult to unlock the bootloader for xiaomi devices now.
