Can someone point me in the right direction on specs of the Gal Tab2?
I have the original Galaxy Tab 7inch and want to take a step up. I love my tab, but i want a faster processor, an actual developer following, and the ability to use a bluetooth keyboard.
The wifi only (GTP1010) has crippled hardware compared to the 3G/Branded versions.
Did Samsung do the same thing with the Tab2.
Thank you for the help and sorry for what is I'm sure a repeat question. I did search, didnt find anything useful.

Galaxy tab 2 have a dual core Texas instruments omap processor clocked at 1ghz and it have 1gb ram.
It have a great hardware and software specs(getting jelly bean soon).
But even if you want a more powerfully processor you can head to nexus 7.
I like my Samsung too much, thanks for the info. I belive i will be ordering the 2 soon.
If i could sync a Keyboard to my tab I'd never give it up.

There are a variety of BT keyboards here. Most KBs work fine with the GT-2

Guys, i have a [probably] stupid question.
I know the two devices listed are a phone and a tablet but...
I dont have a lot of cash. I currently have a Motorola Defy running on CM10. Im asking myself should i buy a Tab 2 (which is now $179 on amazon.com) and keep the Defy (and have two devices) or sell the Defy and buy a LG Nexus 4 (having a single device). What do you guys recommend? My main uses are browsing the web, reading books and watching movies, occasional games, and occasional office documents editing. I want the portability of the Nexus 4 and keeping my device with me always but the larger screen of the Tab 2 has an advantage.
Thanks a lot!
Hi!
Once I decide to buy a tablet I had the same question.
It´s very easy to share the phone internet to tablet when out of your home or other place without wireless and once connected via bluetooth the tablet will give you a very nice confort for internet browsing, email, etc, besides book reading and other task such as games if it´s also the case.
It´s not good to answer a phone call with a tablet - wierd experience. And you will have to keep it with you, sometimes it´s size will be a problem. If you focus a less sized device you will lose the benefits of bigger screen, sometimes 7" seems to be small and sometimes big. Everything will depends upon your usage.
From my point of view you should keep with your Defy and buy the Tab 2, Wifi version. Nowadays I have also a Galaxy tab 2 7.0 + Motorola phone and they are very good friends one to each other. I am happy with my choice as with my phone I can do everything I would do a 3G version, ie (P3100).
Get the Nexus 4. It is fast, has stock Android, and you don't have to keep up with two devices.

Galaxy tab 2 have 7 inch screen so good for reading books,have full hd playback so good for movies,support most of hd games
So it must be great.
And on other hand if you want pure android experience,fast processor,2gb ram,early updates,a better camera,intense gaming go for nexus 4.
7" is a different experience than a 4". I find myself using the tablet (7.0) over my phone most of the time.
Thanks for all your answers... but i still cant make up my mind maybe ill wait for some time and save up for the nexus 4
Even I am stuck with the same problem. Though the tab 2 has a 7" screen its no HD display, that's what is stopping me from getting a tab 2.

Well Tab 2 7.0 is 179.99 shipped while Nexus 4 is 393 tax and shipping. I love my Galaxy Nexus and Tab 2 7. I think it's a good combo. Between the two will be how you spend your days. Near wifi most of the time? Get the tab. On the move a lot or need a powerful phone? Nexus 4. And then there's the price difference. Even though the Nexus is a bargain, price difference is big.

The P3100 has phone,SMS etc. I've recently swapped my galaxy note 2 for a tab 2 as my sole device. Use it as a phone or with wired, Bluetooth headset etc. Just class it as a big phone.
Note that the WiFi only version has no phone capability
Answered with some research.....

I did a lot of research, but it was not clear for me at all.
Yesterday I contacted a french hi-tech seller about the galaxy tab 2. The guy answered me that I cannot phone with it. If I want phone capability, I have to buy the note 10.
I'm sorry but the subject of "Can I use my tablet as a phone" is a tricky one, or at least not clear at all.
I'm planning to offer a tablet as a gift for my parents. So if I can phone with the Tab 2, then I'll buy it for Xmas. Otherwise, I have to find another one !
So guys here are saying that the galaxy tab 2 has phone capabilities. Without any modifications ? Any country ? It works out of the box ?

This is good news. Thank you very much to all of you.
The Tab 2 is much cheaper than the note 10, so it's a good option for me.
see ya,

P3100 is the 3G version of the 7 inch Tab 2 and it's totally different to Note 10, i hope you know this. It's not the 10 inch Tab 2 and there are 6 types of Tab 2: P3100, P3110, P3113, P5100, P5110 and P5113.

Depends on which "this tablet" model you have. What is your model number?

Waa, thanks for asking. I meant the 10 inch version.... 7 inch is too small for my old parents !!!! :silly:
Does it change anything ? The 10 inch version does not have phone capabilities ?

So I was contemplating the tab 2 7.0 or the nexus 7 and the only thing that made me get the tab 2 was the ir blaster and the price but as I look at the custom rom world there's nothing for it. Nothing new not even its own section on here, so why is that?
Hello
I am thinking of buying a note 10.1 after I feel in love with my note 2. I have an motorola xoom today and I was wondering if you guys recommend me to buy the note 10.1 and is it worth the upgrade from xoom?
Also i wonder what is the difference between the model names? GT-N8000 and 8020? I read that one of them didn't have hdmi connectivity, can someone shed a light on this?
Any known problems with the note 10.1 that you should know before buying?
Thanks

What is your main use? Games or business??
I would say casual tablet user. I may use it for studies(engineer) I play games sometimes.
I surf the Web a lot

N8000 - 3G connectivity (Calls and Mobile Internet)
N8005 - 3G (Mobile internet only)
N8010/13 - WIFI only models
N8020 LTE/4G model (Calls and Mobile Internet)
All Models use WIFI, but N8010/13 don't allow SMS and Email with sim cards, N8000 & N8020 allow phone calls..
Definitely a good tablet if you're looking toward education. The stylus is great.
Biggest advice: Get the 32gb model. 16gb is fine for a phone..but not a tablet. The OS and bloatware sucks up a good 5gb of memory. Amazon price difference when I got mine was about $50. Well worth it.
And..order a CLEAR screen protector. The Moko is great. Can't even see it if placed properly.
I got an M-Edge case that allows the tablet to rotate so you can stand it up either landscape or portrait. Pretty cool.
Don't know much about the Xoom so can't offer comparisons.
