[Q] Looking for a tablet... Help - General Questions and Answers

Hi im a university student Im looking for a Android Tablet but I havent found one that fits me... Maybe you can help me find one.
This are the specs I got in mind from what I had searched:
At least 512 mb ram
CAPACITIVE 10" screen 9.7 10.1 all of this are ok..
Possibly Tegra 2 tablet
THE MOST IMPORTANT HDMI Output.
3.5 mm out , microsd ,
my budget is a little tight i just have 350 max....+ shipping
I sold my iPad to buy an android tablet.
Please help me find a android tablet.

Only thing available in the $350 price range now would be the Galaxy Tab Wifi only version. Released only today.
However, it is a 7inch and not dual core, but does have a nice 1ghz processor on it. Check it out on Amazon. For $350 it is the best you will find.

well i have seen chinese ones with these specs but not sure on which one to buy....
I do like the Samsung Galaxy Tab but I want a 10 inch capacitive and hdmi....

Motorola xoom for sure. Amazon to find a cheap one

[Q] Cheap ICS Tablet

Hey guys, looking to get a really cheap ICS tablet - original wanted to get a Ainol Nova 7 paladin, but found out that because of it's CPU, it is not compatible with most apps.
Wondering if it would be worth getting this:
512MB 4GB 7" Android 4.0 Capacitive Touch Tablet MID 1GHZ WiFi/ 3G Camera HDMI
(stick that in google - I am not able to post links yet)
or
www(DOT)ebay(DOT)com/itm/512MB-4GB-7-Android-4-0-Capacitive-Touch-Tablet-MID-1GHZ-WiFi-3G-Camera-HDMI-/160762504214?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item256e312416#ht_5492wt_986
Or if these chinese tablets tend to give problems.
What do you think? Are there any other tablets out there like the Novo 7, but with the ARM architect?
Thanks.
Depends on your price range, I guess, but there are usually HP Touchpads for sale all over eBay and you can easily run CyanogenMod9 on them.

I bought one of these, mainly for our 6 year old son, so that he would stop asking me for my phone. It runs great! Screen resolution is not the best, but good for what he does. Great for a reader, web browser, and email. Have not watched a movie on it yet. But, for the price, it's a good deal.
Asus models look very advanced. Have a look at their selection!

Should I buy a Vega clone? How fast is it

Hi,
i'm thinking about buying a Vega clone with 3G. At the moment i have a cheap 99bucks 7" tablet with ICS, 512mb ram and 1,2Ghz Cortex A8 cpu. The speed is ok, actually it's enough for me, but the screen is just too small and the resolution is crappy (800x480). 3G with an external dongel is annoying to. So I looked around on ebay and found new Vega Clones with 3G for 140€. How fast is it? Faster than my actual device? My actuall device (Odys neo x7) doens't has root at the moment, of course I'll use roms for the Vega.
Can I compare the speed of the Vega with my girlfriends classic Desire?
Thanks in advance
You mean the advent vega? Cause i had one and that screen is horrible...id invest in one of the chinese tablets with ics and an ips screen.. Id check out the ainol novo 7 aurora 2, allthough thats 7 inch. But there are enough 10" ones with ips, dual core and 4.0 for around the pricepoint of the vega. You can find them on sites like gadgetgreats.com etc

[Q] Should I buy this over the Huawei Mediapad?

Hi,
I'm a little bit torn between these two devices. One of the carriers from my country is offering the Mediapad at around $440 while the GTab2 goes for around $560.
Am looking for something small and portable. Mostly for browsing the internet, reading ebooks and pdfs. Am a college student so I also want to be able to edit word documents and simple excel sheets.
The mediapad and the Gtab2 have quite similar specs, save for the fact that the HMP has a morr premium feel and a higher screen resolution. However, I want to recieve future OS updates and am not quite sure whether Huawei will deliver them. Well, Samsung might not but by the looks of things, the GTAb2 has a larger developer base which i believe is willing to take things into its own hands!!
Am not much of a gaming person. Gigahertz and benchmark readings have never excited me that much. Am only looking for solid and consistent performance.
Hope anyone can help.
Thanks.
in my country Gtab2 7" only cost about $370 - $390 USD
the 10" inch is more expensive than the 7 inch
and the Gtab 7" plus is about $560.
So in term of hardware specs the Gtab2 7" is very different than Gtab 7" Plus.
the Huawei mediapad have better GPU Adreno 220, rather than Gtab2 (Powervr sgx540 GPU).
and the Gtab 7" Plus have Mali-400MP4 GPU
Mali-400MP4 > Adreno220 > PowerVR SGX540
but the "Huawei" brand is not convincing as Samsung, it's up to you to gamble on these 2 products
I suggest to buy Galaxy Tab 7 Plus ($550), but if you want to save money, you should buy Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (only cost about $390)

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll go to the shop toorrow to give both a try bfore I make up my mind. If I may ask, are you happy with your Galaxy Tab 2? Sorry for all the questions, am a poor college kid and I cant afford to burn my fingers again as I did with my earlier purchase of the Blackberry Playbook.

Sure, I'm very happy with my new Galaxy tab 2 7.0 (Android 4.04 update, & force GPU rendering on settings > developer options).
browsing, email, reading e-newspaper has never been easier with 7" inch screen. Gtab2 7.0 is awesome, it's fast too!
it's more cheaper than other tablet, & with ram 1GB you can run ICS/JellyBean on it (device with only 512MB will struggle to run ICS/JB)
Btw, I'm new mobile game developer, and I choose Gtab2 without any doubt to develop my game on Gtab2.
If you wan't smoother experience when running google maps 3D, or twitter app, etc.. then you should go for Huawei mediapad (Adreno 220), because I've tried Adreno 220 on HTC Sensation and it's blazingly fast without any lags at all.
All I can say is Samsung Gtab2 build quality is perfect.
The only problem with Huawei is the brand itself & I'm not really sure about the build quality of their products.
Because I've seen cheap Huawei phones (about $20) but with poor build quality (the keypad button is hard to press).
While the cheapest Samsung phone (about $20-30, I get this for free when buying Gtab2 in my country) the keypad button is perfect, similar experiece when using Nokia phones with very good keypad
Please note that Gtab2 7.0 price is about $360-390 USD.
Don't get fooled by distributor, if they sell Gtab2 7.0 at $560, then you should go for Huawei

[Q] which 10 inch android tablet with 2 GB RAM to buy ?

I need your help in figuring out which 9-10 inch android tablet to buy. I am looking for a second tablet via ebay or Amazon around $200. Based on past experience with multiple tablets, in spite of all the pronouncement about android memory management, I have found tablets with 1 GB RAM laggy. Of late, I have loved using the 2013 Nexus 7 tablet (on kit kat and lollipop) and now would like to get a bigger android tablet for reading PDF text books. I am not fussy about getting the highest possible screen resolution. Right now, ASUS MeMO Pad FHD 10 seems to have the right specs at a very reasonable price, although some people have complained about certain apps not working well with the Intel Atom Z2560 processor. Can you suggest a few alternative choices ?
Thanks
