I bought this Tablet a week ago at Best Buy..Well, long story short, my GF bought me a Nook Tablet and I "delicately" talked her into letting me exchange it for this tablet. Truthfully, I wasnt ready for a tablet purchase, so I'm playing catchup on learning curve. I was going to let them mature a bit more before I bought, but hey, I find I'm really liking the thing! Now, I just read that the Galaxy Tab 2's are coming out later this month and I have a few weeks left on my return window with BB and was just wondering if it was a good move to stay with this 7 Plus or jump over to the new generation?
Thanks for any help!
Look, Tab 7 Plus is a little bit powerfull than Tab 2 Series. The only thing that seems better in Tab 2 is that it has native ICS OS! Otherwise I read it has a lower camera and CPU (1Ghz instead of 1.2 of the 7 plus).
Anyway I'm happy 'cuz we'll have also ICS for flashing ...we will get it even if Samsung won't official release it soon.
ICS on a so similar device means ICS (custom, leaked or official) even for our

I am still surprised at the fact they released the galaxy tab 2.
Call me naive, but i didn't for-see Samsung releasing a tablet with is sole big feature is the version of the os.
I think they skimped on features on the tab 2 to better compete with the kindle fire.

Yup, I think Turbo hit the nail on the head. The tab 7.0 2 (horrible naming right there) is being released to lower the price point to compete with the cheaper 7 inch tablets from Amazon and B&N. At $249, and considering it is running ICS, I'm guessing this thing will sell quite well.
Honestly I wouldn't sell the 7.0 Plus to get the number 2, as apart from the OS, it really is a significant downgrade. Go compare the specs on something like the verge, they have quite a good layout for comparing specs.
Hopefully Samsung will stop being slack and release ICS for their already released tabs. The problem with their release a million and one versions is that it is going to massively slow the update process.
Im in the same situation as yaknow1, bought my 7.0 tab plus on 4/2, from Best Buy, so I also am within my return window.
I agree with most of the comments here, there really isnt much of a significant increase in hardware specs and a decrease in some (albeit small). The biggest significant feature is ICS.
Agree with the comments that the 2 is a cheaper product made to hit a lower price point to compete with the fire and the rumored Google tablet. After reading the comments here, I think I am going to stick with my 7.0 tab plus and just wait out an official release of ICS.
I just hope the 7.0 2 doesnt slow down or negate Samsung's motivation to release the ICS upgrade.
No Exynos processor in the new Tab 2 also. The 7.0 plus is a keeper.
If you want to sell it PM me i'm looking for one Cash Buyer
Well, you don't want to trade for an inferior tablet do you?
The Tab2 line is more focused on low cost.
tab 7+ vs tab 2 7

Ok so here's what I know. I own the Galaxy Tab P7510, tab P6210 and for a week the Tab 2 P3113. The Tab 7+ 6210 is better than the Tab 2 3113, 6210 is a slight faster with a 1.2g processor 16 gig memory and a better camera on Honeycomb 3.2. The Tab 2 3113 has a 1.0g processor and 8 gig memory and the pictures are a little grainy looking. That said I would keep the Tab 7+ over the Tab 2, I got the Tab 7+ for $299 on sale and caught the Tab 2 for $240 including tax. ICS is good but not sure it's worth the downgrade in hardware.
The Tab 2 is great at the cost and would have gotten it before, now I'm going to give itnas a gift to a granddaughter. JMO

I think after listening to everyone, the smart move is to keep my 7plus. That and the fact I got it for $299 I don't think saving $50 is really worth the downgrade? Now on to rooting! lol

Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), Very similar to the Galaxy Tab plus!
It looks like Samsung has just taken the wraps off its latest tablet offerings, with the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) -- an ICS-laced follow-up to the company's original seven-incher. Available in both 3G and WiFi varieties, this redux doesn't mark a huge departure from its predecessor, packing a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 1024 x 600 LCD. The big changes, however, come in the software department, with the Galaxy Tab 2 shipping with Android 4.0 straight out of the box. Other than that, you'll find a three-megapixel rear-facing camera, a VGA shooter up front, Bluetooth capabilities, and HSPA+ connectivity. No word yet on pricing or availability, but it's worth noting that we first saw this announcement hit Samsung's RSS feed earlier this morning, and it appears to have been pulled since then. It all looks awfully official to us, but when it becomes officially official, we'll be sure to update this post accordingly. Until then, be sure to head past the break for a shot of its backside.

I just got the 7.0 plus last week. So reading all the stuff about the tab 2 there seems like I have no real reason for tab envy right? Or do you think I should return and wait for this?
Well the Galaxy Tab 2 has a slower processor. I wouldn't go and run to return it. The Plus will be receiving ICS and theoretically be faster. At that point hopefully Samsung will release ALL of the source code and not leave some out so people can start developing further for the Plus.
So to answer your question stick with what you have.
Stick with the 7.0+ it's equal or better in all hardware aspects.
This is just an ICS bait-and-switch tactic by Samsung.

How much did u pay? Best Buy just dropped the price down to $299.
And for anyone waiting or regretting a 7plus purchase, don't, our 7plus is a better device. And if it a 1ghz tegra 2 in that tab 2, then our tab is a ****load better. Tegra 2 isn't all that.

While it's tempting to have the latest and greatest I also bought mine last Friday and am completely satisfied with it. To be honest I can't usually tell the difference between one OS and another so having GB or ICS isn't going to do much for me if there isn't a very obvious difference. So I'll be happy with my Plus. Now phones? that's different...
official pricing and dates, good news for us waiting for ICS?
I sure hope so.

The Tab 2 is using inferior processer, TI OMAP. Theres a reason its able to sell for $249 why its 1ghz, because its not a exynos and mali.
What i want to know is, will all the accessories for the OG 7" Tab work for the Tab 2.
I want to buy the Tab 2 and some of the accessories ie. case, connectors and dock. But i know Samsung always switch up for every Tab they drop and i'm yet to see Tab 2 specific accessories.

Wow, this Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 rocks the socks off the Infinity. I wonder why it just seems so much smoother? 16GB is $399. Can't beat it. And guess what? The two STEREO speakers are on the front!
Anyone compare these products? I'm a bit surprised.
Are your retinas burning?
Also, tf700 isn't dual core, it's quadcore @ 1.6 ghz and it costs 499 for the 32 gb version.
The screen resolution is horrible and if you like waiting 12 months for post purchase firmware support, good luck with that. They are notoriously slow with updating their product. Why you ask? Because they want you to buy their next best product in their lineup. If they updated their software and it's comparable with the new Samsung, people won't buy. That's why I love Asus so darn much. They are constantly updating for us to keep us happy campers.
That's why Samsung didn't update their screen ext... they know people will jump aboard because the software on their previous models is antiquated.

Well... As others said... I personally owned Galaxy 10.1, Galaxy 10.1 Verizon 4G version before. Samsung is extremely slow on its update and I believe finally original 10.1 is getting ICS now. Touch Wiz is nothing but slow down overall performance. Perhaps Galaxy 2 might been different, but my infinity runs much smoother than the Galaxy 10.1 Setting Infinity to power save mode gives me occasional stutter appearing home menu swipe or new application launch, which reminds me of my Galaxy 10.1 experience.
This is some of the oldest tricks to get some flame bait on the internet. I wouldn't expect to find a great conversation on this board on which is better. You are better off looking at the general board for this type of post.
I'd rather have the Transformer series of tablets. The keyboard and all of the features is brings makes the Infinity at the top of the mountain for android tablets.

Day before Mothers day and it was sold out at all the electronics stores near me ended up getting one at Wal-Mart 40 miles away. Its now my wife's tab while she's recovering from shoulder surgery as its the perfect size and does what she wants it to do. She loves it and said to put her iPad2 on eBay. I was dead set against getting another Asus product after the Prime but the 700 I have now is night and day different.

The galaxy tab 2 10.1 is worse than the TF300 which is sold for $399 for the 32 GB version, and now you can get it on amazon for $374, i think theonly thing the galaxy tab is better is the speaker, that's it
Here in Canada you can get a galaxy tab for free when you sign up with Telus...then you'll find them re-selling in kajiji and nobody buying....Id rather have Acer Iconia if i cant get Asus....Samsung phone's great but their tablet sucks....we'll see with the Note 10.1...this could be their flagship tablet....

Personally I have both devices and both provide me with enjoyable experiences. Is the 7.7 EOL? Probably but it's still a very worthwhile device especially viewing mp4 movies and any other visually-rich activities where space is an issue.
If you have the $280 to spare I'd pull the trigger. (You save FAR more than I did when I bought mine many months ago when it first came out!)

Same decision here and I chose the 7.7 after comparing to the Nexus. Even though its old and discontinued it still blows away the nexus IMHO. The screen on the 7.7 is miles better and you have the SD card slot. Also I am running JB 4.2.2 flashed following information from these very forums.

Hope it will give you much pleasure despite the fact that it is a low-end device, opposed to the high-end 7.7
GT 7.7 is better built quality than Nexus 7.
it's supposed to get JB as Samsung Thailand says.
but when this happen, already Android 5.0 will be out, and maybe 7.0 inch tablets with Full HD displays will out also, so if you like software upgrades fast and clean, go to nexus cause Samsung sucks at it, or wait until Full HD tablets with Android 5.0 is out.
it's still a great tablet. such excellent build quality, expandable memory, screen is amazing people comment on it all the time, option to get a pay as you go sim, keep it in there and get data as needed on a month to month basis, still quite fast with ICS. JB would be nice but not 100% needed plus there are some ROM options that provide JB like features.
im flying overseas this summer, right now there is no other tablet i would want with me. i can put multiple movies on here and watch them, and enjoy wifi wherever, and if really needed get wireless data also. what else could you ask for? well a nexus device with this kind of build quality, expandable memory and this screen. but that is not happening yet.
Dude ... the screen is really enough reason to buy that awesome device .. the only tab with Super AMOLED Plus screen !
and btw .. Samsung announced that it's going to have Jelly Bean update in Q2 i guess
I heard this from a friend and I want to make sure that this information is correct. Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 coming out soon? if so when and where can I find this info so I can read it for my self?
I also have the Original Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 (WiFi) and I am running 4.0.4 and I am wanting to know if and when 4.1.2 or Jelly Bean will be officially released for the Original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I do not want to root or download a Non Official rom to my tab.
I do not know about Galaxy Tab 3. But I do know that the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not included in the list of devices Samsung plan to update to Jelly Bean. So ICS 4.0.4 is the last update you are getting. If you want Jelly Bean, however, you will have to root your tab and install custom rom. I also use the original tab and in addition to ICS I also run 4.1.2 and the current Jelly Bean 4.2.2, both courtesy of an XDA Developer, Pershoot.

I have no inside information about a pending release of a Tab 3, or anything else for that matter, but I noticed something interesting at the AT&T store yesterday. They have a special going on right now if you buy a Samsung S3 phone for $199, (with a contract), you can also purchase a Tab 2 10.1, (with a SIM card) for an additional $199. Not a bad deal if you want a Tab 2. I am sure that the S3 will enjoy a big price cut as soon as the S4 hits the stores, however.
We all know that the S3 will soon be replaced by the S4 and retailers are probably looking for ways to clear out the existing inventory. The same might be going on with the Tab 2. This could be an indication that the Tab 3 is on the way as well. Time will tell.
almost a month later and still no news on a new 10' flagship tablet from Samsung. The same old news get recycled every now and then but nothing tangible.
Hopefully after the launch of the S4 we start hearing real "new" news about a octo core powered retina all sing all dance tablet that is available in the not too distant future
don't want to wait till x-mas ...

I was hoping to hear something similar by now, too... my guess (hope) was that details would start to slip out about a new uber-powered GTab and a possible release date when the S4 was ready - but the lack of noise makes me wonder if a Nexus 10 is in my near future instead. The 16 and 32GB versions are in stock... wait a couple more weeks for some news, or 2 days for a new toy from Google on my doorstep... decisions, decisions.

Looks like they're basically just updating the look of the Tab 2 7" to match the Galaxy lineup hardware design. Almost identical specs to last year's model. And no mention of a 10" model.
I have the Tab 2 7" and don't want a much bigger device (although I could live with 8".) But I was at least hoping for a resolution bump. Hopefully the Nexus 7.7 rumors will pan out.
Is it me or are the specs for the Galaxy Tab 3 super underwhelming. Dual core 1.2 ghz? Thats what I have my 1st gen galaxy tab running at lol.
i bought an att samsung galaxy tab 10.1 sgh i497 yesterday and im dissapointed that it doesnt have built in phone and messaging, there is a mod on this forum for the older model which i forget the model number they listed but its 3g, the one i have is LTE , i hope someone develops a phone mod for this i really wanted it to be a phablet

well at least the Samsung galaxy tab 3 7 inch has been released and it is a little less wide than the tab 2. micro usb charger is nice and aluminum bumpers, other than that everything has already been said.
I am curious when developers will post their findings as I am not pleased with the stock rom. Wifi kicks out after being idle.
SM-T210R is the model number

Am I missing something or is it basically the same tablet we have but with a different processor and IR blaster?

Nearly Identical spec to tab plus and tab 2 7, should have called it the Tab 1.9, its such a step backwards.

maybe they used up all their high-end processors, RAM and screens? so they made this out of scraps?
Probably still haven't got the earpiece volume right either
Are joking samsung? Just by changing the looks doesnt make it better than our TAB PLUS! Yeah im really proud of our tab.. same specs? plus have a better front camera.. they should have increased the ram and the resolution as well.. well.. thats tab 3 for you.. just like what we say about tab 2.. not because it has a higher number.. it will be better than the TaB PLUS.. PLUS still rules!

The gt plus didn't sell very well, eventhough it's a good tab.
Now Samsung tries to sell it again, with a different name, a different body, and two modifications.
The funniest is they may sell a lot of this "new" tab, because everything is a matter of marketing. Most people don't buy because of the specs but because of the color, the general aesthetics, and of course the advertising and the marketing around it.
So go for it Samsung, play with the people's braindeadness and take their money, they are all too willy to surrender it to you with a smile

+1 big words and ofc true
The Plus didn't sell well because of the cost. The 3 probably will just because it will be priced at about what the Tab 2 was priced at, but man, that thing is hideous.
I may be wrong but I'd say it's not a very good sign for JB on our device.
Remember last year when we were all awaiting ICS? They released the tab 2 that had ICS out of the box and left us to wait, maybe hoping that some of us would have bought their shiny tab 2.
See what I mean? Seems like with this tab 3 running JB out of the box we're facing what the historians call a recurrent phenomenon in history:cyclops:
I hope I will be proven wrong though, I'm tired of ICS...

Youtube review : http://youtu.be/XO3CjT9751A
It has S-Voice, but I didnt see multi window, also looks thicker and Im sure it is with the protruding camera!!
Soft keys are cool, but not needed, escpecially not a protruding home button...
Whole thing seems like a step backward.
At least it's got micro USB!
I wonder how much the 3/4g and phone capable versions will run. I'm sure most of them will still be quad band...
Did i just watched a galaxy tab plus review?

GalaxyTab 7.0 Plus is still the best Samsung 7 inch tablet. No other samsung 7.0 inch tablet can beat our benchmark score
