So I have the decision of getting either a nexus 7 tablet or a international version of the galaxy s3. I have 250 cash to buy the nexus 7, and for the galaxy s3 i would have to trade my galaxy nexus and $200 cash. Do you guys think I should keep my galaxy nexus and get the tablet, or should i trade my current phone + $200 for a galaxy s3? I do have a good laptop but its 15in so that's why I am undecided on what I should go for. Help me out guys!
IMO, get the s3 because you will get more joy out of it than a tablet and like you said, you have a good laptop so you don't need a tablet.

I agree, go buy the S3, its a better choice.
Why would You want to have to carry with You 2 devices all the time (and the Tablet is not as small as a Phone is), when You can have one very good phone?
Take the S3 mate!
thanks for the input guy, i am leaning towards the s3
Buy the Galaxy S3 .

go for s3
Go for the phone, the tablet will just feel like a bigger version of your phone considering they'd both be running the same OS. Not much of a big leap in screen size a larger tablet would be better.

i suggest you to buy a s3 if you like feautures on your hand ...but if you want the taste of jellybean immedietly go there....but i tell you will not use it as the way your gonna use your s3

I would keep my Nexus and buy a Tablet
for me... i will choose galaxy s3
S3 for sure
S3 because it can replace camera and handycam.Nexus 7 can't..
It looks like the S3 is the better choice, but the thing is there aren't many i9300's S3s in my area, mostly just AT&T versions. How do those two compare? Battery wise, speed, etc.
I've got both and I use them for very different things. So if you can afford it I'd recommend both of them.

what do you use your nexus 7 for? If i get it I think my main use for it would be reading digital comics and probably watching videos on my bed. Both which I do pretty often.

That's pretty much it. Which is why I'll upgrade the Nexus 7 to the ten inch when it comes out, most likely. Comics don't play well on the SGS3, nor do subtitled movies. Oh, and 3D games seem to work better on the Nexus 7 than on the phone.
Galaxy S3
Galaxy s3 for me way better. if you get it try to rooted and get you a great pimped custom rom for it and enjoy it :highfive:
Hope you decided
I'm starting to get bored with my tablet, been thinking of getting a real small normal phone like the nexus,
Anyone also feeling the inconvenience of having a tablet phone?

Ditto here.I am eyeing at the HTC One V for normal android use.And my P6200 can be used for when the single core processor of the One is not enough and for surfing the interwebz when iam at home.
though i don't really use my P6200 as my main phone i use it more for 3G connectivity when i'm out..
I kinda miss my HTC wildfire S when i don't want to carry my tab around..
I would surely miss my long batt life with p6200 though

Does the Sony SmartWatch work with our tab? Specifically the 6200. I want to interact with it sometimes with just the watch, e.g. Tab on the bag and etc. I think it's fun. Lol.
I would miss my new tab. Sold a iPod Touch for this little bad boy. Love it so far, but I am only using it for simple tasks.
Facebook, iHeartRadiom, Skype and Angry Birds LOL
I have been researching and I don't think there is an android phone with the smoothness , batt life , GPU speed etc that can compare with our tablet,
Except HTC one, but still it fails in batt life.

Yeah I do leave my tab at home nowadays, too lazy to carry it along everytime I go out. I just usually bring my Blackberry when I go out for simple stuff. I wouldn't ever want to sell this tab to replace it with an android phone. Though there are quad core phones and all, I still don't feel the satisfaction of playing games or surfing the web on a smaller screen. Also, I use my tab to type documents for work, which would be quite a hassle doing on a phone. Overall, I think someday I might buy myself an android phone again replacing my old Galaxy Ace that I sold to buy this tab, but I'll never sell this tab. It never hurts having a lot of devices right?

I got rid of my cell phone and ever since i got the tab i decided there was really no need for any type of android phone.... I have been getting bored with it and dont use it as much but i use it everyday for free texting wifi and alarms notes for class and internet surfing. . I personally wouldnt get a phone because you wilo miss your tablet most definitly

I have the Nexus as well, it's really far too big for my hands. I can't text with one hand,
Personally I'd like something the size of the Wildfire with all the goodness of the Nexus.

Do you have other things to say about the nexus ? Is it worth getting rid of the tab?

Depends on if u want portability. If u have the money the Nexus 10 is better spec wise. I don't know if I was playing with a defective Nexus 7 but it was really choppy. But that could have been my experience. Conclusion. Got the money? Get Nexus 10
I would go with the nexus 7 most def. I have 2 in household and for the price they are a bargain.

I say nexus 7 , for me the size is perfect and the specs are just awedime for the price , been using it with the autocad app and it performs fantastic

That depends on your needs - if you want take it everywhere - probable Nexus 7 will be better

I have the Nexus 7 it is the perfect size for a tablet, I use my for doing some web surfing and playing some games. You sir may be looking for the Nexus 10 because your going to be playing games and watching movies so the big screen will be good for you. However Both devices are amazing I consider them being the same with diffrent screen sizes to be honest. Enjoy!
Cheers
hey guys, Thanks for all of your input, but i think ill have to get both, first the nexus 10 for performance and the amazing Screen,and the nexus 7 later on, for the portability, and on the go gaming, and web surfing Just have to wait 6 Weeks for the nexus 10 now Grrrr come on pay day's!,
again, i cant thank you all enough, it was hard to pick one so yeah ill have to get both lol
thanks, amatris
nexus 7 for portable
If you look to play games, watch movies and search internet, I suggest you should invest in Nexus 10.
It is much expensive, but high density screen and well functioning OS won't disappoint you.
Both works, but have you played with tablets of both sizes ?
It depends on you, but I, personally, found 7" sort of pointless after having a 5" phone. I can't really fit a 7" tablet comfortably in a pocket (I could probably get it in a blazer hip pocket, but that would be a large ridiculous flat block sticking out of me) so I don't think it's really and more portable - 7" or 10", it's not going in a pocket, it's going in a bag.
I think 7" is good for those who are looking for more of a larger-screen iPod Touch - an "entertainment device" - not so much web-browsing. I found watching video significantly more "immersive" on a 10" tablet. 7" is a good size for an "eReader +", as well.

Does anyone know if there is an iPod type android device that is running JB? I would need a SD slot and a decent rear camera.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
There is the galaxy player. Its not on jb and hasnt been popular because I think that mist people who want an android mp3 player just use their phone. There is also the motoactiv for something smaller. I know its rooted and old buddy of mine worked with a dev here and they did it. Again I don't think its jb.
U believe your best jb solution is a phone.

You could just use a phone without a sim card installed? Or when it's a CDMA phone just don't activate it. Lots of people did that with the CDMA One V. I think that would be your best option, a phone that isn't activated or doesn't have a SIM card installed.

Phones are pretty pricey especially those that are on jb. And there doesn't seem to be a decent used market for jb updated phones yet. I can use my nexus 7 but it's kind of big and no sd or camera. So until someone sees a market for it I'm out of luck.
Edit. Here's something. Does anyone have any experience with these Chinese knock offs?

BTW there are rumors and prototype pics out there of a new galaxy watch but the iPod has so completely taken over the mp3 player space they killed the zone which Microsoft threw money at like crazy. I don't know that there is or will be an android offering of any note too soon

I'm babying my new HTC One as you'll hardly be surprised to know... I do use it for music walking around, in the car, at home. But I need another player for when I'm on my motorcycle (with earpods not speakers). Ideally I'd like something running android. I've seen a few Samsung ones but know little about them. It would be really cool to have one powerful enough to throw the odd rom on every now and then. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Also noticed some cheap smartphones. That would work too if they're compact...the more upgradable/tinkerable, the better.
Maybe a nexus S? Don't know if it's powerful enough but for media only it's more than sufficient and there's loads of roms available for it.
