Hey guys and girls, I've been contemplating this for a few days now, after the google keynote that nexus 7 has caught my eye. As it has many other people on this forum. I really want to pre order it, my main interest in the device is its gaming potential. Should I sell my galaxy note to buy this device? It would replace my note for the things I use it for, which are gaming and web browsing in the house. I also have an iPad 2 which is good for gaming but it's too darn big for N.O.V.A 3 ect.
Ps the reason I can't just buy it is because I have no cash.
Are you going to miss the screen size? the notes a monster man

Well I suppose I would, but i want performance, and the up to date device, I can still carry the nexus around with me though, so I'd be basically getting a bigger and more powerful note.

The Nexus 7 is a great tablet with better cpu and gpu than the note but if you use it for large graphically strong games you could find its lack of sd card slot a problem as a lot of high end games can use four or five hundred megabytes of data and so a collection of them could use up eight gig which is the lower priced model.

I would definatly buy the 16gb version. I have a 16gb ipad and that has a lot of high graphic games with enough room left for more. So apart from that, do you think its worth the swap?

I know someone doing the same so yes, it would be a trade up to bigger screen better processor and of course nfc. For games its much better as it can use tegra 3 optimised games, but also it will be a better experience on a bigger screen when gaming than on the note.

Hi, the processor on this phone is crap compairing to Tegra 2. I run Asphalt 6 on the infuse and G2X the infuse is crap skipping frames even the nexus s is skipping frames. But the tegra 2 on G2x is extreamly smooth. So why have the infuse last Gen phone?
Useless post is useless post. Derp derp.
I wanted a bigger screen..dualcore?? Im waiting on the quad core
Why is it useless don't people come here to know what's better and what's not on the phones? Or u just bought it and u think its the best phone? ATT is bullshitting people and selling old Gen as new instead of getting the gs2 they want to sell this for 4-5 months and make money then bring the gs2 when it's going to be 6 months old we America is way behind rest of the world with technology
What u going to do with bigger screen if it's going to lag on new app's? U gonna look at the laggy screen
And the flash video is very had on the infuse try to watch and u'll see,
On dual core is smooth.
When it reaches that point i will upgrade..until then im loving my new phone..vids play fine
Good job, you've managed to be a an asshole on the internet. What an accomplishment. Congratulations
Why because u don't like what's true? Or u want to read only good stuff about your phone? ****
Never seem to have lag on my phone. Please point me to a laggg app

It will be the best phone in the states, till T-Mobile releases the Sensation 4G on June 8th.
Already have my money waiting for a off-contract buy. :3
There is no lag whatsoever on my infuse....its not an old Gen phone...captivate does not have super amoled plus...it does not have 4.5"...it doesn't have flash...it doesn't have 8 MP camera...it is not as thin as infuse...I know infuse has single overclocked core....they overclocked because now the chip/ hardware supports the power and 1.2ghz

Jump on down from your high horse bro. When I come to XDA I come to read USEFUL posts. Yours is NOT USEFUL. Deal with it.
Its about user experience.
I am an engineer for a very large Telecom vendor. Trust me, we all are sold the firt level software on a long term expandable hardware.
ALL hardware is capable of some evolution. Are you mad that fiber optics can carry 100gig per second when ten years ago it was only 20gig?
Does that mean new fiber is no better than old fiber?
Technology truly is software based. You don't always need to double the hardware to achieve the same user experience. Sometimes simply better crafting software can make all the difference.

I think the htc evo view/flyer might be a winner. I haven't used it but I've been searching around for a while and waited for the htc flyer. then changed my mind according to reviews. however, there is a large customer base that love the htc evo view for note taking and reading especially. With the price drop to about 280 its definitely a steal or grab a used one for cheaper. I just bought it from an xda member on here waiting for it to arrive.
Then maybe in a few months maybe get another tablet or see what the ipad 3 looks like.
The htc jetstream i hear doesnt work as good as the view fyi.

Awe toche couldnt have said it better myself... lol. I would with the Transformer, I would wait though till they release the revised version of the Prime. All kinds of GPS issues and what not plus it going the same price as the original Prime. Or you could wait for the Asus MeMo.
If you find a deal on Lenovo K1, grab it. Can be rooted, and powerful,
with reasonable price. 1280X800 resolution.

Toshiba Thrive
Bought a Toshiba Thrive for my wife. Of course I use it more than her. It's wonderful. Dual Core processor, Nivedia graphics, 10 inch screen. Very fast, responsive. Plus you gotta love having HDMI out, USB ports. Rooted and it becomes even better.
iPad 3 releases soon?
I like the power of Android Tablets and I like the Asus Transformer; how will they stand up to iPad 3?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus - I own this tab and it's perfect for reading. Just the right size for holding with one hand and very light. 10" tabs are too big for comfortably holding and reading for long periods. This tab also has great specs and is very responsive. I've had no issues running any apps or games on it.
Read the reviews.
I love my Galaxy Tab 7.7 for reading - powerful enough, is light as hell, and has a better screen than any other tablet available at the moment (just put it next to anything you like and the difference is obvious).
Plus its reader sized and will fit in my jacket pocket/jeans back pocket.
I've heard the galaxy tab is pretty damn good, but yea like others said Asus prime is pretty good
Ah dammit now.. i hate so many choices -.-"

I know we have the more battery efficient (and in a lot of areas more powerful) chipset, but everytime I look at those Tegra only games I get jealous. I mean is there a possibility our chipset will be able to produce the same quality of graphics when these games are released for the Tegra devices? I would hate to have to trade up over something so trivial, but I really like to game.
I'm thinking that the battery life can be greatly improved on the Tegra devices with custom ROMs and Kernels. I mean the new Nexus tab has a Tegra, so it must be a reliable piece.
Thoughts?

Out phone was the first phone with the S4, you need to give developers the time.
A TON of phones, including the Stateside Galaxy S III will be having the same chipset/gpu as ours, and developers will not want to miss out on such a huge population.

I think you should go with nexus 10

Well,
more cores doesn't directly means that it has to be faster 100%. Apps need to be coded properly so they are scaling good with more cores, and I think all you will get is just more points in some Benchmarks, thats all.

Actually its dual core is better than a quad-core cause it has a different architecture, for overall smoothness I will suggest you the nexus 10 but for gaming I wouldnt go for this cause the resolution will kill all the performance in games(cause the gpu is not good enough) and expect poor support for tablet on android.
If you really care about gaming I suggest you an iPad 4 as it has great and more optimised games plus it also has the best gpu on any portable devices such tablets and smartphones.

FWIW, the versatility of the TF700 w/ the keyboard dock is very unique. It has replaced my laptop for sure. But, out-of-the-box performance was lacking. However, there are some excellent devs on here for it, which have negated any lag/performance issues.
That said, I was going to wait for the Nexus 10. The TF700 was a gift. I wouldn't trade

My Galaxy Note 2 was a piece of junk ( had to take the first one back WiFi issues, the second one couldn't even watch a YouTube video without the hour glass popping up every minute, battery life poor) compared to my iPhone 4 until I took a chance and rooted my phone.
Galaxy Note 2 Verizon
Beans ROM v0.10 newest
Perseus Kernel

The phone is very fast now I didn't over clock it because it moves so fast when OCing I think its going to blowup.
The battery life is beyond perfect with the Perseus Kernel.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk HD
The S3 beats the iPhone any day of the week. Take your pick of category. Memory expandability, screen size and quality, battery life and changeability, features of the phone itself, the S3 is hands down the better device. The iPhone 5 is a complete failure, with no innovation of any kind. If Apple does not really go all-in with the iPhone 6, making some seriously impressive improvements, they will loose the market.
Suppose I have to mention that I prefer Android over iOS, as I find Android and both its general UI setup and its freedom of customisability and apps beats iOS any day of the week.
Android is operating system that is not significantly less useful than iOS and it is free and open source software. Why would I not choose android?
That said, the Galaxy S3 is still too expensive for my liking, so I'd go with the next nexus phone perhaps.
