Hi there!
I'm currently in the hunt for an Android Honeycomb 3.1/3.2 tablet. and i'm choosing between Samsung's new Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (which has the Mali 400MP GPU) and the Sony Tablet S (with its own Geforce by Nvidia Tegra 2.) both has a dual core processor although Samsung has the new Exynos 1.2GHz processor.
Based on the initial tech specs i've seen online the Samsung has a supposedly mind-altering 20 hours battery life while Sony has only 6 hours max. advertised.
But, does a processor speed or the graphics card always determines a device's overall performance, responsiveness & battery life? ( i'll be mainly surfing the net, watch Youtube videos, facebook, twitter, viewing .pdf or .doc files, odd photos & uploading them, listening to music, playing games, using DLNA to watch movies to my TV)
I'm trying to aim for anything below 10" screen size, with an SD/microSD card slot, dual speakers and GBP400 max budget.
Thank you.
id go with prime, thinnest, lighest, and 4 core. toshiba is coming out with some nice ones but not sure about specs. between the 2 you've said it depends on you preferances/requirements. one is 7 inch and one is 10 inch. one has a big ass bunp and a ir blaster, the other doesn't, it seems like your not sure what your looking for
I'm looking for something at least 7" and not more than 10". i thought a 10" one is big (because of the things i'll be mostly be doing with it) so anything in-between is almost perfect.
I've got some choices in mind. two of them not officially released yet in the UK namely the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and the Tab 7.7. on the other hand the iPad 2 vs the Sony Tablet S.
My problem with the iPad 2 are several. namely the inability to send any files via bluetooth, lack of SD/microSD card support, a single mono speaker, a lacklustre front-facing & rear-facing camera amongst others.
My problem with Sony Tablet S are tiny/not-so-loud speakers, lack of Playstation games (even after roughly 4 months of being released and has a PS-certification why not enough games are coming out???) and that's it.
I want to weigh and balance all of them but...i don't know which to choose?
All of them are within my bidget but shall i wait for the iPad 3? shall i invest on the Exynos-powered Galaxy Tabs or jump in to the all-entertainment, all-dancing Sony tablet?
I want to buy something before the last week of march so i can bring it with me during my holiday.
please help....

Is camera a must? If it's not I would recommend the Kindle Fire. If camera is a must I have an HTC Flyer and I am very pleased with it.

You could place the Acer Iconia a100, a200, etc. (there are other variants) into consideration.

I saw on slickdeals yesterday that the HTC Flyer can be had for $149.
Blasphemy, but I would actually get him the iPad2 wifi only edition which iirc goes for 399 now that the iPad3 is out. The kids love the Apple stuff and all their friends have apple, etc etc. There is a South Park episode called the Human CentiPad which speaks to this issue.

I must say , if your kid play games alot , this tablet will be for him . It wouldn't be that bad . Running games such as 'Temple Run ' will be as of no lags for him . C:
i do have an Ipad 2 but now theres a war over it as that was bought for the elder one. so just to peace things , i want something but worth for the second.
games liked by kiddo are temple run( i too like it , angry birds , all action arcade games
thats why was wondering if hcl can handle it
@sky plz check iball slide too and let me know . will be obliged
@Kratos , it is another tablet similar , but it's better . Because this processor can play games even better than that processor . I think you should buy iBall Slide .

get him a gaming tablet
get him a gaming tablet. for 50 dollars to 200 dollars you can get one with a very decent resistive screen or a badass capactivive screen. I was going to buy one of these before I bought an icontrolpad for my samsung fascinate:
JXD601

These two are the base sub-$120 dollar models with resistive screens. There's tons of user forums and stuff for them and they run n64, ps1, all emulators and android games and they both come with a cortex a8 and 1 year old hardware.
There's an awesome $200 version of both of these that have capactivite screens. I'm 24 and if I had kids that played video games I would definitely introduce them into this field. There's a modding community for both devices if you want to stick with android.
thanks mate, it looks like a psp and i already have one
jxd.hk/products.asp?id=604&selectclassid=009006
that one has a capacitive screen, supports ics and has all the bells and whistles of the higher end chinese tabs. performance is similar to the galaxy s.
If you have a decent budget to work with and it seems like you do, I recommend the newest galaxy tablet or pretty much anything with a samsung screen
guys made up my mind for lenovo a1 16gb
whats ur take on this tab?
So I am looking to at these 3 tablets... and wondering if anyone has any insights as to why they picked the Tab 2 7" or 10.1". (Reason why I am asking here instead of at the Note 10.1 forums, besides pricing)
I would like to know the following... Has anyone bought the adaptor that allows you to output by hdmi to a tv. Is the CPU on the Tab2 capable of playing bluray quality rips of 720p and 1080p no problems? Is there any player that supports DTS? I know my Nexus7 can with diceplayer, but do not have any clue with the tab2 or note 10.1
The main usage of this would be video playback to a tv, surfing the web, youtube, and I guess some games, but nothing too intense gaming wise...
Its to replace a laptop that I havent used in nearly 2 years heh...
Any advice would be great guys!
I would take note 10.1. The quadcore processor is really useful with tablets. Besides, it has s pen, and it can be extremely useful. Or for fun Galaxy tab 2 10.1 is really nice but note is far better.

I have to agree with him. Take the Galaxy Note 10.1, as it has quad cores. also, it similar to having a laptop due to the S-Pen's sensitivity as well as excellent pen writing.
Also, if you have a bluetooth keyboard like the Logitech Sony Playstation 3 keyboard (yes, a third party brand by Logitech), which include a mousepad next to it, you have an ideal laptop replacement. XD
So i need a new 10 inch tablet and i'd like not to strugle to play 1080p (that means 1920p width) video.
My old tablet (acer a500) had a 2-core cpu at 1Ghz and was not even able to play 720p that well. So assuming the new one will be quad core would it be able to decode 1080p video or not ?
And if yes will it be on HW or SW mode ? (MX player)
Or should i buy a 1920x1200 tablet just to be sure ??
Well...
You need a full HD tablet to play full HD videos which means the screen resoultin must be higher or equal to 1920x1080.
1280x800 is NOT full HD/1080p
Hi
Does anyone know if the Samsung Tab A 10.1 (2016) will play x265/HEVC 1080P MKV files using MX Player on HW/HW+ with no stutter?
I'm looking to replace my Nexus 7 2013 which has the S4 Pro, it stutters to death. Antutu scores the processors close together, even though they are 3 years apart :silly:
The Exynos can apparently decode x265 but want to know if it can play it OK before I pull the trigger.
Thanks all
