Expandable storage doesn't mean much on the Tab. The sd card is only good for music and movies....unless it is rooted.

I would say the tab 2 is a better bet than tab plus.I compared the two the day I got mine.The tab plus comes stock clocked at 1.2ghz i believe with tab 2 at 1.0 but tab 2 comes with ics installed and just felt smoother overall.It obviously didnt do as well in benchmarks due to lower clock speed but performed better in overall experience i think.Plus you can get a kernel that supports oc.I have mine at 1.38 and now it destroys tab plus in feel and benchmarks.Also idk if you are planning on rooting(dont really know why you would be on xda if you werent...lol) but gtab 2 has way more development and prob still more to come.Hope this helped a little.
Amen gtab2 all day

Hello,
Have the opportunity to buy a 4 day old second hand galaxy plus for about the price of an galaxy tab 2. The specs on the 7 plus are the "plus" over the tab 2, but the plus still runs on honeycomb 3.0. My phone runs the ics and i'm very happy about ics.
Is the 7 plus a good investment, (will it get the ics one day), or would the tab 2 with the "lesser" specs would be the better buy in the dev support department?
Wich one should you choose over the other and why?
Thanks for the input,
Adam
Forgot to mention, it is the P6210 model (wifi + IR, no 3G).
Is it the same as the P6200 model for rooting the device? Is it possible to use a P6200 rom on the P6210? Am i correct that the p6200 has more dev support than the P6210?
This to keep the change on ics as open as possible.

The only hype I've seen from the Tab 2 is the cheap price. 8GB with roughly 4GB free is a joke. Not to mention VGA front camera, less HP and unusable SD storage because of ICS. Great Deal!

Thank you. The biggest thing about this forum is that there are PLENTY of users that are happy, XDA is just where the whiners come out in force.
The Plus is far and away a better device, and the ICS bruhaha is simply temporary.

+1
+1 for the Tab 7 plus which I bought.
Far better specs than the Tab2 IMHO . the Exynos processor is great. Agree with the comments on the remaning space left onthe Tab2. 2M front camera on the plus is actually pretty good in comparison.
Just watch out for wifi. On tab plus a few folks have had issues with wifi (me included, but only @ work, so less of an issue for me) no idea whether that's fixed on the ICS build for the Tab 2, but poss something to think about.
I'd still go for the Tab 7 Plus personally.
still undecided, but thanks for the input!
maybe ill jump to an 10" instead

Check out the GT 8.9 if you get a chance, also very solid!

The GTab 2 has an OMAP 4430 which is also used in Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. I have the Kindle Fire which is a decent performer, but in terms of graphics performance, the GTab Plus with Exynos chip and Mali400 GPU really blows the SGX 540 @ 300 MHz of the OMAP 4430 away.
Yes they both play 1080p videos smoothly - downloaded H.264 or DIVX videos, or Adobe Flash in the browser (NOT through youtube app). However, GTab+ has superior browser experience - webpages load much quicker (eg. website pictures and text are ready for viewing much earlier when it is waiting for Adobe flash ads to load). Drag to view different parts of the webpage and pinch-zooming is buttery smooth in the GTab+ and stuttery in the Kindle Fire. Maybe it cannot all be blamed on the processor - maybe Honeycomb on the GTab+ helps because KF has Gingerbread. I am not into games but I expect the GTab+ should also perform better than the OMAP4430.
IMO, it is worth spending $50 more for the GTab+ than the GTab2 (yes I waited for the price drop to buy my GTab+)

Get the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 if you like Touchwiz and want a Micro SD card slot and a rear facing camera. Buy the Nexus if you want a quad core processor, fast Android updates, 12 core graphics, and a 1280x800 display.
The galaxy tab has longer battery life, standby , external memorry card support, as well as GLONASS (Russian gps network) ontop of GPS , The Nexus is just more powerfull (no bells or wistles,or memory expansion-unless you root- and GPS only) battery times= galaxy tab2 14 hours run time/2000 (thousand) standby hours Nexus= 9 hours run time/ 300 (hundred) hours ( i had the same question as you, and this is what changed my mind)
Galaxy tab
-Disadvantages:
1-less powerful processor dual core only
2-Official updates slow but unofficial not
-Advantages:
All others
Nexus:
-disadvantages:
1-No rear camera
2-No sd card slot so limited by internal storage
3-quality control issues as elevated screens etc
-advantages:
1-Quad core processor
2-Faster official updates

I have done some research and heard the Ainol Aurora II or Flame/Burning are good tablets. So much so that I orderd 2 of the Aurora II's for myself. If I remember I will come back and post my thoughts on them after they arrive.

If possible, get the Nexus 7. Seems like the best deal. I bought a bunch of Kindle Fires last year - and now wish I had the Nexus 7's instead.
I've got a Tab 2 and am growing tired of the lag even using the basic function such as web browsing (running stock or rooted/CM10.1). I don't want to completely jump from the Samsung ship (I have an iPad 2 already) and wanted to know how the Tab 2 stacked up against the much higher spec'd Note 10.1 but can't find any direct comparisons on here or online.
My question is whether the the Note 10.1 is WAY better/faster/smoother/more lag free than the Tab 2. From the spec's I know it should be but I'm interested in real world first hand experience of anyone who's got or used both.
There is a lag in the GT2? Hmm didn't notice that... But since I want 4G LTE on my tab, there isn't a lot of choices...

I actually have both and there is a significant difference but that is because the note 10.1 has a quad core processor and 2gb of ram vs galaxy tab 2 which is dual core 1Ghz with 1 GB of ram. I noticed it more on touchwiz but after I got pacman ROM and over clocked it to 1.5 GHz its working pretty smooth. I can even play some high quality games without lag. So I guess the only way to actually get it to be smooth is on an aosp ROM and over clocking it to 1.4 just to be safe

Thanks, that's the info I was after and is what I'd suspected. I'd much rather run vanilla and unrooted tbh. I bought an iPad and whilst it was a restrictive OS I liked the smoothness so subsequently really enjoyed the freedom of not having to mess around with Rom's trying to smooth things out as I'd tried before with an original Xoom.
So do you see any lag at all using the Note? Things like pinch-zooming on the web, flicking between apps etc?
Actually there is something that gets lost in the details and blogs, the real answer is..it depends. Not all Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 devices are the same. The ATT Variant actually comes with a Dual Core 1.5 GHZ S4 Krait, basically the same chips inside of the US S3s, which makes for a very very very snappy package. If you are looking at a 1.0 GHZ model, meeh, but if you happen to come across a newer carrier model, TMobile, ATT, etc, they are an order of magnitude faster than the stock 10.1 Tab 2.
Hi brothers, I am currently using Galaxy Note 2 and I cant play all the latest games smoothly. For example Asphalt 8 lags a little etc. Now, I wanna buy a phone that I will be able to play all the latest and upcoming games smoothly. Budget is not a factor. Currently looking for performance and my money should be worth the spent, hence asking you all.
Also resolution must be 1440 x 2560 .
So, which phone should I get ? and which phone do you use yourself ?
Get a nexus 6

Buy the LG G3, Note 4 or HTC M8
I consider Note 4, since it has the latest GPU. The display is phenomenal and there is an SD Card too. Internal Memory is no problem here.Hit thanks if helped
