What should I buy??? Help needed
You shouldn't compare these 2 devices at all. It depends on what you need: a phone or a tablet?
I have both and love them, ask away

If you need a phone then s3 but if you don't then nexus 7 Me I would get the nexus 7.

Yes when you overclock it the nexus 7 can go past 7,000.
Here's some video of the N7 quadrant test Stock

Overclock @ 1.6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frP5uY5C06w
and here's what you're talking about. It has a custom rom, and custom kernel

The Nexus 7 would fit the bill, it has Jellybean and it's primarily a multimedia consumption and gaming device.

If u want device for only gaming and multimedia then go for Nexus 7
but if u want a phone with fastest processor then go fo S3
Nexus 7 is much much cheaper than S3 and has tegra 3 for which u surely will get extra games with thd version with better graphics coz of Nvidia
Never go by benchmarks as they don't say much about performance...
If you are thinking of buying Nexus 7 in India you won't be able to get it before October although you can get it online through ebay or other sites{ don't know whether ebay delivers stuff in Nainital as in Almora it doesn't deliver such stuff }

Got an S3 and could be happier! The screen is large and great for media but it obviously isnt as big as the Nexus 7's. Personally, the S3 is the way to go!!

Help needed!!!! I am really confused what to do , whether to buy a nexus s now or wait for dual -core phones .I just dont want to buy something for 20k that might be outdated soon.
Nexus s will pretty much run anything out right now.. Don't play the waiting game, get it if the price is right? It's technology.. Every few months there is newer and more expensive **** out
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
If you want to play the waiting game, wait for the next Nexus. I wouldn't ever buy or recommend a non-Nexus Android.

I love my Nexus. If you wait then you will still be seeing something else better come out in a few months. If you like the Nexus, then get it. If not then just wait it out.

Ya...thats what.Even i dont want to wait because my budget was around 18k, i stretched it to 20k(current price of nexus s in inr)...the budget is so strict that i cant even stretch it to buy sgs i9000(which i dont feel is worth buying when compared to nexus s)...and my requirement is that heavy (gameloft-ish)games should work smoothly ...which i think nexus s with its 1ghz humming bird procc & PowerVR SGX 540 would handle quite well atleast for an year or so ..and plus there is a chance that nexus s will be getting ICS ...so i think i should just buy it now ...and 20k for nexus s is a steal i think !
The nexus s is an awesome phone for the price now (320 € in Germany). I wouldn't spend almost twice as much for a double core.
Btw, I'm not sure where you're from but in the states when you say 20k that k stands for thousands. So $20,000 is a bit much for the Nexus S. I only paid $200 for mine

Gaming? Nexus S is never your wrong choice. Haha.
You can use Chainfire 3D on Nexus S to play Tegra 2 games,
you can overclock your phone using Trinity 1.576 kernel to maximize your game experience.
What more do you want when the 1.576 kernel give a same quadrant score (or even higher) than duo core phone such as Optimus 2x ang SGSII??
In conclusion, get me to help you when you got your nexus, I will give you all the necessary file/kernel/rom/apps for maximum gaming experience
I am a gamer (only when holiday,LOL) with 24 hours charging my phone
after personally trying both optimus 2x and atrix for more than 2 weeks each. " brother has atrix and i got optimus 2x from my friend to use it since he doesnt want it " got galaxy s2", i would go for nexus S
the reason is simple. this is all marketing bs. there is nothing that can run on galaxy s2 or atrix or optimus 2x that cant run on nexus S . everything runs perfectly fine on nexus S. no lag. perfectly fine.
the only thing that wont run are the nvidia games. but as far as i know. they are all been ported to other phones.
however. what broke it up was skype. to know that skype was released for video chat only on 4 phones and nexus is one of them. made me note something. i have to get that phone. not because of skype. but because clearly. its a dev platform. when skype tested their video call. they tested it on nexus. even with the mods. skype till now cant run video calls on optimus 2x and tegra. do to the fact tegra cant read some codes. i think mods are looking into it but i dont have high hopes at all. because this is not the first time dev get stuck on something like that. " same code "
if you are talking about dual core phones as galaxy s2. then this is another story.
GS2 is superior phone. there is no doubt about it. better and bigger screen. thinner, faster. but u will also get stuck with 2 things
- google updates... u wont get any till samsung give their blessing
- some problems running some games " again. some issue with reading codes. while this is being sported out by devs here, its still not perfect. "

where i can download chainfire 3d ?
also. i dont advise overclocking your phone. it shorten the lfie of your cpu/gpu.
i would definitely choose the Nexus S .. its a powerful beast ..
1, 1ghz processor is enough for everything
2, gpu 540 - can handle all the games - much stronger than the most used adreno 200 or 205
3, updates directly from google! - how fast your phone is depends also on the OS ..
4,you get comparable scores when you tweak your phone vs dualcores -sometimes even more
5,the chipset used in Nexus S has one of the best audio chips used in a device - regarding that Voodoo Sound - it seriously killed my ipod, my Hi-Fi at home .. i just use that ..
6, you want more? you can play 720p MKV on this hardware - you cant do that on most dualcore - coz they miss the hq mkv profile - diceplayer
7,skype video calls? here we go
8, NFC - the future is already there
u know google decided to make "the phone" and when they do one .. they mostly put all the best stuff into it from that "time frame" ..

I agree.
NVIDIA Tegra2 dual core : Video decoder is too bad...Hard to play H.264 High profile.
Snapdragon dual core : Video is not so good but can play 720p MKV using diceplayer.
Exynos dual core : GREAT Video decoder. it can play 1080p High profile.
if you have HDMI-out cable, your phone turn into video player.
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

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+)

I doubt that anyone on XDA would tell you to get an ipad. Everyone here mostly prefers android to ios. So most people will have a biased option based off of fanboyism or some other factor. It's mostly between android and ios, and if you feel the ipad is worth 300 more dollars than the nexus...

I heard many reviews saying that the nexus fits better in the hand for gaming purposes......
But is it fast enough to handle 3d games
And one more ques are the graphics better on the N7 or iPad
why do you want a tablet for extreme gaming?

Well its not that extreme......
Which device would have better graphic details in games comparatively .
for me i hate apple so android wins all the time like most things a name is just a name don't mean its beter
The ipad has a PowerVR SGX543 MP4 after all I read its way ahead of the Tegra 3 graphics.
Is dishing out the extra 300 worth it? IMO no. Tegra 3 is pretty capable even though it's not the bleeding edge in graphics.
Bang for your buck:nexus 7 or asus tf300t
Sent from my GSIII
graphics wise they are pretty close to be fair, but so much still comes down to the software with tablet gaming still (game devs have yet to get to what tegra 3 is truly about to do I feel).
And when the Nexus is atleast half the price of the iPad, has a better CPU and built with Jellybean the slickest android version yet, its a no brainer, get the nexus 7, get it now!

I would go for the newer Nexus 7, you will not only playing games with a tablet and so viewing a movie is better done on a Nexus 7 screen ratio.
The Nexus 7 has a 16/9 ratio also with Android you'll get more freedom, but with freedom comes the difficulty of choise.
I always say that Apple is like communism they " the company nows what best for you, with Android you'll get democracy this gives you more freedom but demands of course a little bit of effort from you
don't waste time go for nexus 7................:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Nexus 7 is faster and less expensive
The nexus's processor is better, but for gaming the iPad is probably better as it is perfectly optimized.

Hi all i wont to buy Galaxy Note 10.1 and i wont to ask is it worth it i am a gamer and i wont to play this HD games and Order and Chaos can it hold it on high graph.. and what is bad and good in this Galaxy Note 10.1
If you are mostly interested in playing games then I'd look at other tabs...
The main feature of the Note 10.1 is the s-pen. It is good for school work and business but if you want to play HD games there are other cheaper alternatives....
I use mine to watch video's and movies too and find no problem but utilise the s-pen for a variety of things. If I didn't need the s-pen and the phone functions then I would have looked at cheaper alternatives..

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------
I would recommend going to a Best Buy if there is one near you and comparing the Note 10.1 to other tablets. The Note 10.1 is undoubtedly an awesome tablet! I considered buying one myself for a while. I have also considered a Nexus 10, as it's another great choice! With that said, I chose the Asus Infinity over the Note 10.1. I bought it before the Nexus 10 came out, but considered buying the Nexus 10 as well, and then possibly selling my Asus Infinity. I did my research on the two, and chose not to get the Nexus 10. I'm very happy with my Infinity!! I had the Asus Prime before the Infinity, and I feel like Asus makes outstanding tablets! Asus makes awesome phones too for that matter. I actually wish Sprint offered the Asus PadFone 2, as that would no doubt be my current phone!! Asus is also among the first, if not the first, manufacturers to release software updates for their products! The display on the Infinity is full HD and absolutely gorgeous! Not I, or anyone else, can tell you what tablet to get, only you can decide what tablet suits you the best! Just make sure to do your research on them first to see what's gonna work best for you. Check out YouTube videos as well! Also, if flashing is something your gonna be doing, be sure to check out their forums here on XDA and see which developers are cooking for which devices. See what rom and kernel options are out there, as well as themes and mods. Just all boils down to what your needs are, what your wants are, and what you will ultimately using the device for! Either way, good luck with your decision, and I hope you enjoy whatever you get!!
EDIT: FOR GAMING: I can tell you first hand that the Infinity is a beast!! Dead Trigger with the Sixaxis app and a PS3 controller is awesome(just to name 1 game, which is my favorite)!! Even though I have an XBOX 360 and a PS3, I often hook up my Infinity with its HDMI port built in to the side of the tablet, and play on my 55" Sony LED TV! It's absolutely amazing!! If anyone walks in the room, they never believe that I'm playing from my tablet and not a console!! I play Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, Horn, ShadowGun THD, ShadowGun: DeadZone, Modern Combat 4, Max Payne, NOVA 3, Asphalt 7, Need For Speed Most Wanted, Sonic 4 THD, Beach Buggy Blitz, Shine Runner, and on and on, etc. etc. They all look and play amazingly well on the Infinity!! I don't even play Most Wanted on my Evo LTE anymore, only on my Infinity! I expected the tilt steering to be awkward and cumbersome on a 10" tablet compared to my 4.7" Evo LTE, and just assumed I would use the touch screen for steering. I was pleasantly surprised when I first tried it and found that tilt steering was actually better on my tablet than on my phone!!

I had an Asus Infinity and hated the thing, the lag was unbearable, and that was running a custom rom which was an improvement. Gaming was good, and the hdmi out was a plus but not used very much. Also there are some games that are not compatible with it due to resolution. The note although lower resolution is so much snappier. I would definitely not recommend any of the Asus tablets.
In total agreement, I will never purchase another Asus tablet. The Prime was the worst technology buying experience I have ever had. Never again...NEVER!

So far so good I have been running most high end games without lags. I would say am pretty much satisfied with its gaming performance.

If gaming is your main concern wait a little for the new nexus 7 device should be out in two months or so, nexus devices seem to perform well when it comes to gaming

i want buy smartphone for games and cant chose what will be better for games.
U can't compare nexus 4 wid others
Nexus 4 anytime
but why ? i saw a lot benchmark videos and nexus has lower results then htc one X+ and if benchmark low how it can give good fps in games??)
Which benchmarks??
Okay let me clear u
Adreno 320 of nexus 4 is better than ulp geforce 2
Only trouble nexus 4 will give u is of limited storage... Not expandable memory... Limited to 16gb
Plus nexus 4 will give u pure android or what we call vanilla os... Totally raw... The way google makes it...
Although one x + is a bit higher in frequency 1.7ghz
Bt u wont notice any difference in daily usage...
My pick
Nexus 4
Rest it is ur choice, isnt it?
thanx i will buy nexus 4)

The Nexus 4 is so far ahead of those other two choices. Benchmarks don't mean anything, you should never go by them entirely; especially if they just give numbers out. If you search 'oode' on youtube and go through his videos you'll find a video somewhere along the line comparing the S3 and N4s' 3D performance.
The nexus 4 has the adreno 320, which is pretty much superior to anything out there right now.
