What is the best Android tablet right now?
I really want
1) 1 GB RAM
2) Dual Core
3) 9.7 inch or superior
4) microSD or SD
5) WiFi
6) Android 3.0
7) light
8) thin
9) Excellent battery
10) Gorgeous display, good resolution
11) Netflix (I don't care if I have to root the phone)
12) Ability to root the tablet (this is VERY important)
13) Price
I would ideally like something that looks as cool as the iPad 2
I REALLY like how Apple makes their devices really thin, especially the iPad 2, it looks SO awesome
Any suggestions?
I want to buy the tablet within the next 30 days or so, I only like to wait if it makes sense. For example, I am tired of waiting for the Samsung Galaxy SII, by the time it comes I won't buy it, it just arrived way too late for my taste
So, if the answer is "Wait 2 months and then..." then I'm not interested
If I have to wait 30 days or so, I guess I can, but I REALLY want a nice Tablet since I've bought numerous games/apps that I think will look better on the Android Tablet
I want to buy the Tablet at Newegg
Here's the (almost) perfect one for you.... The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It has all what you're looking for (except for the sdcard slot) but has a lot more features and it is available at Newegg at a reasonable price.

yeah he pretty much covered it...i just got a 10.1" galaxy and i love it! it would be nice to have an sd card slot, but 32gb is a decent ammount of space, and if you need more you can get a usb adapter that plugs into the 30 pin connector (basically makes the 30 pin slot a usb slot) and plus in thumb drives and such...android > ios, and the galaxy is actually thinner than the ipads...samsung makes a GREAT tablet!
If your looking to get one right now and not wait than the samsung galaxy that just came out is your best bet. although just fyi you are getting close the shopping season so you are going to see a slew of different models coming out from various companies, and you will always get that buyers remorse feeling as the item that comes out 2 weeks after you buy yours will have some new fancy feature added to it.
But as of right this minute the galaxy should meet your needs.
you can also consider the asus transformer, which is competing with the galaxy tab
The Asus Transformer is $399 the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is $499
The Asus Transformer has Micro SD Card reader the Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not
So, with all due respect to all the previous comments, why should I spend the extra $200?
I dislike Apple's stupid way of charging $100 extras for a simple 16GB of space, and now Samsung (which copies A LOT of Apple, hence the legal problems it has with them), follows exactly the same idea
charge $100 extra for 16GB
So, if I buy the Asus, I can be happy with the 16GB, and then I can upgrade it
Please confirm if the Asus Transformer (which sells for $399) has expansion
So far it seems the difference is the width of the tablet, the Samsung is 30% more thinner
same with the weight 20% more lighter for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Anyway, I have a $799 limit.
WIth that money I can buy a Turtle Beach PX5 + Asus Transformer and still have $136 credit left, which allows me to buy a Newegg extended warranty
PLus with teh Asus Transformer I have the extended keyboard
Bottom line, the reason why I don't see myself buying a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 is because I am FORCED to buy the 32GB model, since these Apple copycats decided that they need to charge $100 for 16GB
So I don't want to buy something not-upgradable, so I have to go for the more expensive model
If I go for Samsung I would spend $888 for both products, so there's a BIG $200 difference
Hi,
One of the best android tabs around right now would be th Asus transformer, by it's hardware, Asus's update quality, and by it's price. I would definitely go for that one, but maybe wait for the Asus Transformer 2 coming out in a few months ^^

Well, have you actually tested that tablet?
I would REALLY, REALLY like to use it as a e-Book reader.
So, if it weights too much, then it might won't do the trick
Ideally I would like something that feels similar to the iPad, something that feels confortable so I can read books from that thing
Thanks a lot
I'd buy a Kindle or similar for ebooks - it's much nicer to read on for long periods than a back-illuminated screen.
Can someone explain this to me?
Check the specs, besides it having ICS it's mostly a downgrade. They want to get that sweet $250 price on it to better compete with Amazon
I can explain this, buddy.
Nov 2011: I guess SGT 7.0 Plus was released this month. I pre-ordered, and bought it before its official release date by Amazon.
Jan. 2012: Samsung announced Galaxy Tab 2!!!
Feb. 2012: Samsung released Galaxy Tab 7.7 & My SGT 7.0 Plus price dropped. I paid $400 for 16GB. Now you can buy $350 for 16GB or $380 for 32GB.
IT TOOK ONLY 3 MONTH to drop their price.
I TOTALLY agreed that gadgets price will be dropped soon after its released date. But, Not within 3 month.
So, what's next? Of course, Galaxy SIII, Tab 10.1" 2, 8.9" 2, Tab 7 Plus 2, Note 2 within this year? I guess so.
It is enough to make me avoid Samsung tablets to be honest. I dont see how you can essentially replace a device within 90 days of its release.
So I currently have an Asus Transformer Prime and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I wanted something smaller and I like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 infinitely more than the Transformer Prime so naturally I wanted to go with the Galaxy Tab 8.9 over the Nexus 7. I'm also considering a Galaxy Tab 7.7. I'm not a big fan of the super small 7" form factor.
But seriously... why is the 8.9 still so expensive? I'm having trouble justifying the major price difference between the Nexus 7 and the GTab 8.9 or 7.7.
Perhaps Samsung has to pay for all the fees from their recent legal battles with Apple? :silly:
Nexus devices will always be cheaper ad your not paying for alot of OEM over lay, advertising and extras. It is bare bones android

Frustrating. I might as well just bite it and sell my TF Prime and get the 8.9

Hi so this is my first post and I have a dilemma. I've had a nexus 7 since release and tbh it never gets used because it's too small and I find my phone easier.
So I am looking a 10 inch tablet for web browsing, emailing the odd game and document viewing.
I had it decided to buy the Microsoft surface 2 (I have £190 of citrus vouchers do it has to be purchased there) which is currently £249.
However there are none left only there website still shows it. So it is now between:
Samsung Galaxy TabPro 10.1 - £299
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition - £329
Tbh I have read hundreds of reviews over the past 3 weeks and cannot decide.
Any owners of the tablets your opinions would be most welcome.
Thanks

Well I really was hoping for some assistance?
I sent my Galaxy Fold in as my trade for the new one. When initially received, I was told it was accepted and credited accordingly. Now, more than 10 days later, I’m being told I sent in a device I don’t think I’ve ever owned and certainly not the one in the box. They say I owe them $800 since the device in the box was an S7 which cannot be traded for the new Fold. What do I do?
it happened to me yesterday as well, i traded my galaxy watch with active 2, the value was $74, which is not big deal compare to your device, so they said i sent them something other than galaxy watch, but they didn't specify, and a link to get it back, so i requested to send it back, and i am waiting for it. it seems there is some sort of trade in packages that mixed up some how.
Similar thing happened to me when I traded in my son's old iPad mini 4 and purchased new iPad 5th generation. Apple valued the iPad over the net $90.00 and then after we purchased new iPad they send me the old iPad back stating that camera doesn't work. It was working when we send it in.
I have traded recently my old Samsung tablet S4 for the new S7+ and they gave me $300.00 credit. I wonder if it's going go through without any problems....
