General Android News: Jellybean 4.1 and Nexus Tablet

Google’s $199 “Nexus tablet“, that we first reported on back in March, appeared online this week in Rightware’s Basemark ES 2.0 Taiji benchmark test. Most of the details revealed in the benchmark match up with what was previous reported. The device will be made by ASUS, feature a 7-inch display with 1280×768 resolution, and use NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor.

sounds like a sweet tablet for $200. id take this over a Kindle fire anyday! they found a benchmark that shows its specs. Also shows a version number JRN51B showing the J for Jellybean
What’s new in this benchmark result is the Android version 4.1. Rightware tells us this is the only device they have ever seen to include Android 4.1. The device also featured a software build number JRN51B, which is important because J represents Jelly Bean.
Some of us had speculated that Jelly Bean would be a major release and become Android 5.0, but this new evidence suggest it will be more of a minor update and be labeled Android 4.1. We reached out to a second source who claims to have seen the Nexus tablet, and they also said it was running Android 4.1.

TL;DR- Android Jellybean will be 4.1 NOT 5.0 and the Nexus Tablet sounds beast

7" would be fine since it is roughly 16:9. My iPad is what, 9.7" I think at 4:3 so there is a ton of black bar space when watching video.

7 inch is way better honestly. I sold my transformer for this flyer, don't miss it at all, aside from all the development. If that nexus tablet really will be 200, I'll sell this thing for around the same price and just pick up a brand new nexus. I'm hoping for huge development. Plus, its confirmed this flyer will never see official HTC ics, and aosp doesn't seem like a very big potential. I love HTC build quality, 10x better than Asus, but I think with the specs and nexus name it'll be worth it.

i like HTC but i wouldnt say 10x better. the prime looks REALLY good. if i had the money, id already own one. i may sell my touchpad for like $100 and pony up the rest for this. 10" is a bit big.

Asus is a lot different when it comes to the boot loader stuff, and there really isn't an s on, or s off thing. Its really weird to get used to after being around HTC for so long. All I know, is that when I rooted my transformer, it just took a few adb commands. No rebooting over and over, or anything, like with the Inc, or wire stuff with this phone. But as for quality, at least with the original tf101, the quality was honestly terrible. It creaked on every side, because of the plastic cover, and because of the ips screen, there was light bleed with almost every model of it produced. It sucks when you see it for the first time, because after that you can never unsee it. I mean, its only on black screens, but it just gets on my nerves. It seems like they're doing much better with the tf201, and tf300 now though. Let's just hope Google kicked them straight and put enough strain on them to produce way better quality than they usually do.

Tf 101 or Nexus 7

Hello,
i have the options to chose between these 2. nexus 7 or tf101. prices are exactly the same and the 101 comes with the dock, card and some bag.
ive played with it for a while i find it a little bit laggy to be honest but overall i see it as a good product. on the other hand never touched the nexus 7 so i have no clue how it is.
i know that depends on what exactly i wanna do with the table but i would appreciate some pro/cons from the ppl that owns them.
thank you

Nexus 7 by a country mile. I own both, the TF101 is horrendously laggy and is probably not receiving Jelly Bean. You can still connect a bluetooth/usb keyboard to the Nexus if you need to, along with any other accessories. The main plus side of the TF101 is the extended battery life, but it wasn't that much of a big deal for me.

Have the TF101 and played with the Nexus , Nexus 7 is smooth and fast but that 7inch screen is just to small for a tablet.

i'm trying to get rid of my TF101 for the Nexus 7.
like others are saying, it's laggy (on stock). although i rooted the TF101 to put JellyBean on it, and it's pretty good so far.

don't forget you get micro sd expansion on top of the 16gb/32gb on the tf101 + additional sd card slot, 2 usb port and battery on the dock. i guess it on depends what you need, the nexus will give you continuous OS updates before other tablets and it is more portable and newer.

I'm pretty sure JB is being officially ported to the TF101.
Personally I say go with the TF101 just because it comes with a keyboard and some sort of pouch or case. The Nexus 7 is small for a tablet, but is faster. You can root the TF101 and install a JB ROM like CM10 or RaymanFX's AOSP or TeamEOS (correct me if I'm wrong).

i am running RaymanFX's AOSP JellyBean on my TF101 and yes, it runs much better than stock. carrying around the TF101+dock is like carrying around a netbook. as soon as i find a buyer, i'm' getting myself the N7.

Yeah you're right it is like a Netbook but you are sacrificing screen size for performance. In my opinion, screen will always take precedence, but to each their own. I am also debating a N7 so if you get one could you tell me how it is? It might be one of those devices which I can make an exception to my opinion.

I just went through this exact same debate. I wanted something to take on the road with me when I travel. I wanted access to word, excel, and powerpoint too. I debated and debated. The Nexus 7 kept tugging, but a few factors sold me on the TF101.
Pro-Transformer:
Expandable memory - I dropped a 32gb card in right away. I also have the card reader on the dock for emergencies.
Keyboard - bluetooth keyboards are all well and good, but they don't come with several extra hours of battery life.
HDMI out - I can run this into a monitor/HDTV and make presentations with it. Very convenient.
Pro-Nexus:
Processor - Tegra3 vs Tegra2. That's all I'll say.
Portability - 7" is very convenient for traveling.
Software - you know the updates are coming.
Overall, the Nexus pro's couldn't sway me. It all comes down to what your personal needs are. Get your legal pad, make your list, and be happy with your decision.

First if all thank you all for your replies.
I have dicided to go for the tf. Just played with the 7 inch tablet from samsung and I got to say..... It's small. I have htc one x so if I buy the nexus ill add only 2 inch to my display if u know what I mean. On the other hand tf have some great thinks that comes in the package. I get the keyboard the sdcards and the extra inch comparing with my phone. And since everybody is saying that jb on tf is very fast I solve the speed difference. The only thing left is the 1080 movies that the tf is not able to.play from my understanding. Is this true?

I have both, but I recommend the Nexus 7 cos it's much lighter and nicer to hold. The Xoom Wifi is a good device though.

Thanks for your advice, friends! I'm undecided because I really like the Nexus but some things less (creader card, expansion slot memory) also at this time the xoom is on offer to 245 euros...

This is the only response that makes sense. Its clear youre on a budget so both isn't an option in which case you need to do a similarities/ differences list and decide what's important to you. The size is a big difference; its comparing apples to oranges.

@jaytronics: I am struggling to translate your message. If I understand correctly you prefer xoom, right? Why?
@Rubber : " ID " What does this mean?
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk 2

I also had both and, don't get me wrong, I love my Xoom...
But, hands down, Nexus 7.
Reasons include, but are not limited too:
1 - Same charger for Nexus as most Android and even Windows phones (big plus/Xoom uses different charger...not bad, just an additional charger to carry.)
2 - NFC. There may be ways around this, but when you have it and actually use it, that makes it hard to without...
3 - weight. Xoom is heavy even by tablet standards. Again, not bad, but when you have to carry it everyday everywhere (with charger) it can become cumbersome. disadvantageous when portability is paramount.
4 - Quad core. How many Xoom owners run into the slowing and sometimes compete stops of the OS. Light use is usually not to bad, however...but pile on the multitasking and the Xoom will take a much needed break. Have yet to recreate this phenomenon on my 16gb nexus 7
But, I'm told the Nexus doesn't support MHL...the alternative to HDMI. If that is important to you, go Xoom. That was one feature I missed sorely with my Nexus.
For storage, OTG cables can solve the expansion problem.
The Xoom has a rear camera, but I personally never found a use for it...
Both are phenomenal tablets and I have used them both extensively...but choice would be the Nexus...the Xoom will only get cheaper, trust me...I paid full price for mine over a year ago....
Hoped this helps...

Correct. Why do I like the Xoom over the N7? Quite simple really, I just do.
In all seriousness, the Xoom has a metal housing which gives it that hey! I have a build quality that most if not all others dont have. And now that I have just returned the wifes N7. It being the Xoom does not suffer from the screen lift problem at all. I just read a bunch of posts where the screen crumpled under peoples thumbs where it was lifting. And Asus being the nice company that they are, refuses to replace them even though the dammage in the pictures clearly sides with factory deffect being a contributing factor in the dammage to the screen. My wifes N7 had screen lift. I brought it back before I read those posts about that problem. Im happy that I did. Also like the N7 the Xoom has great development going for it. Granted, it only has a 1Ghz dual core processor. It still does an excelent job. And having a 10" screen as a GPS is much better than a smaller screen.

I have ti decide because the offer for the xoom to 289 EURO expires Saturday ...

I would use the tablet mainly for internet, write notes and then connect via vpn to my office pc

as mentioned previously, it's simply a matter of taste & expectations. the smaller 7" N7 is lighter, and more portable by design, but the 10" Xoom is such a solid device that has maintained it's own since launch. Given the JB update for wifi versions, and pending JB update for 3G/LTE versions, I would say go with a Xoom. Not to mention that you can pick up a Xoom for around $200 now.
My wife has an Ipad2, and I bought her a refurb Xoom for $199 and she loves it more than the Ipad2! Something about flash and stability, and the fact that she now has a "back" button sold her.
Worst case scenario, buy either one. Try/test it out. If you don't like it, return it and buy the other. Figure out what works best for you personally. That is the best course of action, imho.

[Q] Too good to be true?

So after having my TF101 for over a year, it took a nasty fall and became unusable. This was of course devastating, made even worse by the fact that I am about to start at a new school. I have been wanting to upgrade for awhile, but since I bought it with my last paycheck from a job I lost, this has not been possible. However, due to this tragedy, my parents are considering buying me a new one, but paying full price is out of the question. So, I found this site through Google selling a TF300T for only $229, which seems too good to be true. Can anyone say if this is a legit site?

I read a lot of comic books and the 10.1 screen is perfect for them. Also, I like the convertibility. And of course, the Nexus not having expandable storage is a deal breaker for me.

You can expand the storage by connecting a memory stick/HDD into the micro-USB port by using some cable (can't currently remember the cables name). And there have been rumours of a Nexus 10 coming soon. Anyways 229 is probably too little for TF300 because here where I live the 32 GB one without the dock is 419.

If you can afford it, then, I'd go for the TF700. I downloaded the "free preview" of Watchmen from Barnes & Noble and it was pretty cool, but it was also pretty obvious that on a high-def screen it would absolutely rock. I'm not much of a comics guy, but if I were, that's definitely what I'd do.

I got mine from amazon....it was used like new and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

hell just send me the cash i would at least send you the empty box you would not even get that from them i see them vanishing really quick in the near future

I second this, got my from Amazon, next day shipping, Like new, for 269 I believe just a couple weeks ago. Still had ICS on it (no promise there though) so if I had wanted to retain the ICS bootloader I would have been able to.
I'm smitten with mine, although I really REALLY wish dev. would move forward a little farther.
Nice tablet though! My fiance was able to trade her BS prime in for a brand new TF700 at Best Buy, straight trade even thought we have had it for almost a year due to the issues it is known for. Color me jealous

Anybody going to sell their tf300 to buy a nexus 10?

Hi
As much as I like my tf300 I am tempted to sell it because;
1. Guaranteed quick android updates
2. Higher Res screen more so than ipad 3 and tf700
3. Limited use of dock besides charging, stand and USB data transfer
I bought the tf300 because even in the UK where its £400 with dock. It was great value but 4 months on there is a lot of new products coming out very soon.
Anyone else tempted to sell or are their good reasons to keep it...what do you think?

You should check out all the problems the Nexus 7 is having with screen lifts. Meaning, the actual screen comes out of the encasing and people are having to glue it back in. Remember, you always get what you pay for. Except with the TF300, that was quite a deal. And since it only came out in April and since that time we've been given an unlocked bootloader and Jelly Bean.

What do you plan on doing with your Asus? I might do the same but not really sure where i could sell this tablet for a decent price besides ebay since it's not very a very big product here in the UK.
On topic though, buying a nexus 10 would mean no tegra games (some are great IMHO) and the high screen resolution may be more taxing on the process i think. At least it wouldn't have I/O issues (probably) and would likely be quite fast. Time will tell i guess.

I was thinking about selling it on ebay also but I really dont want to let it go for less than 300gbp. Especially with all the fees ebay charge 10% + 10% paypal. So I am hoping to sell it on gumtree.
Tegra games are pretty awesome admittedly but the benefits of being nexus kinda outweight the little graphical advantages.
The i/o issue is dissapointing although it is better on some of the custom roms we really shouldnt have this problem.
Im assuming the processor will be pretty beefy hopefully to cope with the screen res but like you say time will tell. The deciding factor for me will probbly be price on the 'manta'. If it is around 400gbp for a 32GB version I will probably get it. Any more and it is unlikely.

The best solution would be to have both :victory:

I just bought this tablet and would sell it in a heat beat for a 10" Nexus tablet. It must be 32GB minimum I don't understand why all the Nexus branded devices are 16GB ONLY. I played with the N7 and really like it and i mean really like it and at the price point it was sweet. Three reasons why i went with the TF300 was because i got it for the same price as a Nexus 7, 10" screen and 32GB + Micro SD.
The reason why there isn't huge sale on the Nexus brand is do to storage limitations in my opinion, I would have bought the Galaxy Nexus rather then an hTC if it had 32GB or 16GB + Micro SD.
16GB non expandable memory is just unacceptable, they should do what apple does and charge a little more for more memory.
back on topic if the TF300 did not have I/O issues it would have been the perfect tablet, I can't believe Asus can get away with this BS and still sell in stores without fixing. Its understandable that the first gen TF300 had this issue but this should have been addressed a long time ago./

You were lucky to get the tf300 at nexus 7 price! I got 10% of retail price so paid £360.
Would love to be able to own the manta and tf300 but i cant justify two tablets when i also own a galaxy note!
Thanks for your opinions people i think im set on the new nexus 10 depending on price.
Time to restore my tf300 to stock jelly bean!

ABSOLUTELY.
I'm tired of dealing with this heap of junk and Asus' worthless support.

Didn't go for the nexus 7 because of no expandable memory and no hdmi support.

After seeing the leaked images of the nexus 10 Ive changed my mind that is one ugly looking tablet!

I will wait to see & use some win 8 products or just stay put till next year.

Bit underwhelmed with the nexus 10. How's the galaxy note 10.1? Better hardware than the nexus 10 and has some great features.

The best of TF300T is the dock: extra battery and keyboard !!
The gap between the new Nexus 10" and the old TF300T is great in hardware speed, but... really we really need it ?
I dont´t think so, if the TF300T have a nice CM10 rom with the lastest kernel...could be enough for me.

Not me.
My next tablet/notebook hybrid will likely be a Windows 8 machine. Whether RT or Pro I don't yet know. Whether the new ASUS tablet or one of the Samsung ones, I don't yet know either.
The TF300 showed me just how awesome this form factor could be. I love it. But the truth is I use it in fundametally different ways from the way I use my 7" HTC Flyer tablet. And the ways I use it it just makes more sense to buy a Windows device.
Now, my next phone will be an Android phone and my next 7" tablet likely a Nexus 7. So I won't be abanding Android at all. I'll just be using what I see as the right tool for the job.

Is there any windows tablet with keyboard for about £400? They all seem quite pricey. Also, the review i read for the surface wasn't very positive.
