Is it worth it to buy it now?

I have a Galaxy S2 phone and had the Nexus 7 tablet, but had to return it because of the screen lifting problem.
I don't see any other 7-inch tablets with 3G and MicroSD expansion on the horizon, so I want to ask you who have bought the P6800 - would it still be worth it to buy it now?
Thanks!

Both of these are supposed to get official OTA Jelly Bean updates soon, they both have 3G and MicroSD.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 7 (P3100)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (P6200)
I currently own the 7.7 running CM10 and like it alot, the biggest factor was the extra 0.7" of screen and the 1.4GHz processor.
Also if you want to get a wifi only version of a tablet, as long as it has USB Host support and viable version of Android you can use a 3G dongle with a SIM card...

Nexus 7 vs P6800? They're both fantastic devices but the P6800 is better. Unbelievable screen, twice the battery life, larger viewing area, thinner and lighter, has MicroSD and 3G.
The only downsides to the GT-P6800 are price, the 30-pin proprietary Samsung connector cable, and no smart-cover option. In retrospect I wish I'd bought a Verizon i815 (Certified Pre-Owned is $280 directly from Verizon) instead of the N7.

it is a great little device... i like it so much that i will never get rid of it... the processor maybe getting a little old but it still can handle any game without a hickup... no jellybean update is a kind of a worry though...

Get the p6800 you will love it. I had the nexus 7, I just couldn't look that ugly screen. I installed Paranoid on my p6800 and I don't see any difference in performance between the N7 and the 7.7 , you are going to love every part of the 7.7. Its the best High Quality tablet right now. I can't use any other screen besides super amoled. All the other screens look like poop, even the super IPS. That's my opinion. Once you get used to the blacks of super amoled that's it you are always going to find the other screens crap

I own the nexus 7 and GT 7.7. The screen on the nexus 7 is not as good as the GT but the N7's performance is much better. The micro sd card is nice but once you give the cloud a chance you wont go back to transfering files onto micro sd cards. I like both tablets but I use the GTab more only because of the convenience. I pulled the simcard out of my thunderbolt and placed it in the GTab so ive been using this as my mobile phone with unlimited data and as a result its always on me. I havnt tried cm10 on tab 7.7 and. I wont unless they get data working. I know touchwiz slows things down but enough to boost this device to nexus 7 speed idk. Someone would need to post a vid on youtube for me to believe. If I were to post one with my GTab running stock ICS vs the Nexus 7 with customs and kernals from the best devolpers on xda you would understand why its really no contest.
Do yourself A favor and buy the nexus 7. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 has more potential but thats all it will have. The nexus 7 has so much support you will never wait or wish for anything. It will get everything first and that includes updates direct from google, app support from developers, tegra exclusives, and support from xda members porting there rom/kernal/mods and to be honest there building on the nexus and then there porting these builds to other devices just check out the forums. Over there and you will see the open/closed betas. The nexus 7 will have it all

Galaxy 7.7 rules in screen and that's where it ends. It is a gadget of past with dual core processor. It one thing to love your GT7.7 but to say that dual core processor is better than quad is biased and naive.

I own a Galaxy note since 2011. It's a dual core and does everything i want.
Samsung released it's quad core successor, but I don't see any reason to
upgrade... I own a GT 7.7 since 1 month. It does everything I want, and
it does it without any lag or problem...
And I don't feel like living in the past.
But at least Samsung amongst others doesn't spend millions on marketing
for nothing. On you it works, making you think that you need 16 cores and 20 gig of ram

I am not biased at all. I just bought a Galaxy 7.7 32gb version (from Australia) paying over $550. My reason was the SuperAmoled screen and insane battery life. But I also own a Nexus 7. So being an owner of both, I can tell you that performance-wise Nexus 7 (with quad core) punches GT 7.7.
It really boils down to what you are seeking.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 or Nexus 7

Hello XDA,
I am having a hard time deciding between this Tablet and the Nexus 7. what are your thoughts. How do you like this device? Thanks All in advance.

Already got my Tab 2 on CM10 so the Nexus 7 16gb is not that tempting as a purchase! But if I was in the market to replace, would go for the Nexus 7! But would hold off as word is that the 16gb is being replaced by a 32gb model for the same price! Like the Nexus range! Pure Google! Pure Android! No waiting a year for updates! Looking forward to upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to the new LG Nexus 4! My tab will follow suite if the 32gb rumours are true!

I chose the GTab2 7.0 because I insisted on an external microSD card and wanted the back mounted camera. But the Nexus 7 is, by most accounts, faster with higher resolution and has plain Jelly Bean. All depends on what is important to you. I went to some stores and tried them. I'm happy with what I got.

Not to mention the ability to slip in a 3G sim card and use the GTab2 7.0 (P3100) as a cell phone! That was the deciding factor for me...

I chose the Tab 2 7.0 due to 3G and rear camera. "Pure Google" is less important for me, as the Tab 2 is proving popular enough to have CM10 and AOKP support. (I use AOKP.) My Tab 2 is also my first Android device, so when I get to know Android better, maybe I would go for something higher end or an Android phone. (I got a ThinkPad Tablet after I got the Tab 2, but I'm not sure how good it is since I got it for free, and all I did was power it up and upgrade it from 3.1 to 4.0.3.)
I also bought a 32GB MicroSD card to put in my Tab, but it's still in the packaging since I don't really do a lot of video watching or anything that needs so much memory. :silly:

tab2 7.0
just got tab2 and its far more useful in daily usage than nexus7. that camera and samsung appls makes a huge difference.

Reason #1: N7 isnt available in my country (IN)
But I could buy online for 16-17k INR, instead I got tab 2 for 19.2
Reason #2: 3G!
Makes all the difference in the world.

[Q] looking to buy...some questions

hey guys.
my wife and I are big Samsung Fans. we've got Samsung Smart LED 3D TV, Samsung Blu-ray player, Samsung sound bar, both of us have Galaxy S3s.
We had the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 but opted for selling it a while back. Now my wife has hinted at wanting a tablet again, and I want the latest and greatest, and this time a 10.1 since our phones are 4.8" and it doesn't make sense to get a tablet with only a couple inches more.
is this the latest iteration of the Note tablets? I thought it would be based on the Note 2?
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/GT-N8013ZWYXAR
looking at this, it's got a lower resolution than my phone, very outdated software (i've been on 4.1.1 for almost 2 months!) and hardly seems to have the upgrade in technology I was expecting.
or am I looking at the wrong thing?
if you can steer me in the right direction, that would be great. we want the latest and newest Samsung tablet...this seems to be it, but it also seems to be a little disappointing in the specs.
thanks!

Well,the display does have a lower resolution,but for me it is fine and acceptable.
For the firmware:
Mine was sold with JB 4.1.1
from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app

is this the latest iteration of the Note tablets? I thought it would be based on the Note 2?
Latest, yes, all current samsung high end devices use an almost identical chipset, sgs2, sgs3, note, note2, note 10.1 etc.
looking at this, it's got a lower resolution than my phone, very outdated software (i've been on 4.1.1 for almost 2 months!) and hardly seems to have the upgrade in technology I was expecting.
Screen is fine mate, perfectly good for a screen of this this size, more than good i think, anything else is just a waste of pixels and cpu processing imho
if you can steer me in the right direction, that would be great. we want the latest and newest Samsung tablet...this seems to be it, but it also seems to be a little disappointing in the specs.
This is the latest and best you'll get from samsung, there may be more to come in the not too distant future but this is arguable the best on the market right not due to the added Spen.

I would like to know why my note 2 and note 10.1 dont have same spen features? Why does the 10.1 not have the hover preview and some other things the note 2 has? I just bought my 10.1 and am a little confused. But over all i think tablet is awesome i would recommend it. Thanks

If you don't care about the spen (Which is fantastic, if you ask me..), you might want to look at the Nexus 10.

In 4.1.1 there's a setting called "Airview" which does exactly what you're describing.

All those features are part of JB, I bet you still are ICS and hence you do not have these features as an when you get the JB upgrade you will get all those feature.
These more of OS dependent features I guess and hence you do not have it in ICS.
Note is one the best tablets around the screen resolutions looks bad on paper but it is one of the best displays around OLED are good but they have their own draw backs like the tint they give you even the Nexus 10 display is not the best.
I would suggest considering the options you have Note is one of the best, I have not used a nexus 10 so I cannot comment on it

Thanks for the responses. I will look at the Nexus 10, though we are partial to Samsung for its ease of integration into everything else we have.
In response to the comments about the resolution of the screen, I want better. I don't think it makes sense to have a lower resolution on a 10.1" device than what I have on my 4.8" phone. The new iPad has much higher resolution And I would have expected better from Samsung.

And you actually got more from Samsung - it has an inbuilt Wacom digitiser that can accurately sens where the s-pen is. Accurately enough that you can write on it, and it will read (and convert) your writing to text.
The screen res is fine, I generally find that the limiting ability is my eyes not the screen

It is due to the wacom digitizer that the screen res is lower... Wacom don't do Hi-res screens.... However, I watch movies on this, browse the web and do work on it. Screen is fine.
I think the "bigger is better" attitude came about with Apple not being able to compete with most things so brought out their retina screen.... The human eye can't detect this many pixels so it's useless to have a 10 inch screen with off the chart resolution....
If you want an all around tablet that does everything and doesn't disappoint then go with the Note 10.1... Otherwise you are looking at other tablets that aren't Samsung... They may have awesome screen resolution but it takes more than 1 thing to make a brilliant tablet....

Trust me, I have had the Nexus 7, the Nexus 10, the Kindle Fire, and now the note 10.1 and the note is by far the best tablet I have owned. The screen should be 1 of the least important factors when choosing a tablet in my opinion, especially when they are all hi def to begin with. If you want a tablet that is best all around, especially for product tivity and getting things done, the note is so far above the competition it's not even funny. I have installed jelly bean on my note and it vastly improved the existing capabilities of the note. It should be out for the US devices within the next month or so. It is well worth the wait, it is the best update I have ever received on an Android device before.
Regarding the Nexus 10, you will be impressed by it screen for the first week or so, then you will realize that it can't do anything your phone can't do, and you will not use it as much. The note is amazing because it can do so many more things than any phone or tablet on the market. You really have to own it to understand how great it is.

sounds great. it will mostly be used by my wife, and she definitely would make use of the writing recognition, so I guess it's settled. thanks for the input.

Great " choice there! You certainly won't be disappointed with it
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app

bought her the white 16GB Wi-Fi model (GT-N8013?).
now to find out how to root and update it to JB. it came with ICS 4.0.4 and software update shows no updates available.
with time I can figure it out (have rooted and modded every device we've had, including our current SGS3s) but if you can give me a link to the best rooting method (the sticky seems outdated?) and the latest/most stable JB-based rom that would be greatly appreciated.

I had my doubts about getting the note 10.1 because of all the reasons stated in the first post of this thread. I am a note 2 owner so i wasnt keen on getting a tablet with lower specs than my phone but as far as android tablets go at the moment this is top of the range. Its due a jellybean update very soon and is quick on ics anyway.
Multiview is awesome
The Spen is handy and very fun with photoshop touch
Front facing stereo speakers are nice
The battery life is good
Expandable sd card slot is a bonus (and not standard on all tablets)
I do notice the screen pixels on the note 10.1 slightly compared to my note 2 but its still a clear crisp HD display. (And the higher res the screen the more of a drain it can be on resourses).
There is also a 3g note 10.1 which u can actually make calls and text with.
2GB of ram.
Get the note 10.1 in the same colour as your s3 the phone and tablet look great as a set
Overall the note 10.1 is one of if not the highest spec android tablet on the market right now and for me it also offers a few things other tablets cant.
My honest dislikes are the damn 30pin connector and no micro usb. Yes i have an otg adapter but i find the 30 pin connector to have no benefits over the micro usb and just a pain. Personal niggle.
Also its a very slippery device thats a terrible fingerprint magnet but i wouldnt swap it for any other tablet on the market and i spent weeks watching youtube reviews on them all before i bought the note 10.1.
I used to own an ipad 3 i prefer my note 10.1 but im an android fan
So yeah id recomend it

dont get hung up on the screen resolution mate, they all use similar DPI's, where there is a qualitative difference the extra features in the note set it far ahead of the pack for me.

Hi Max-Pain,
JB 4.1.2 is coming along officially, www.sammobile.com has just leaked some semi-official versions (Asia and Europe) already bug-free and very smooth.
Don't forget the S-Pen feature can make you "drop" your inkpen once and for all........ love it! It may take a long while that MS tablet can boast such a feature - WP8 can't hold a candle to Android for the time being........ if I could take a strong side, I'd say Android is the best ever for touchscreen, forget Apple and MS........ somebody could pick on me for this, who cares........ Enjoy

thanks for the continued feedback guys...but I think you missed my post above where I said I already bought it.
and i'm already rooted and on jelly bean

Tab 7.7 old and discontinued? Should I buy it?

In my opinion, Tab 7.7 is great device until now. It is still unclear whether jb will come for p6800 or not.

Personally I have both devices and both provide me with enjoyable experiences. Is the 7.7 EOL? Probably but it's still a very worthwhile device especially viewing mp4 movies and any other visually-rich activities where space is an issue.
If you have the $280 to spare I'd pull the trigger. (You save FAR more than I did when I bought mine many months ago when it first came out!)

Same decision here and I chose the 7.7 after comparing to the Nexus. Even though its old and discontinued it still blows away the nexus IMHO. The screen on the 7.7 is miles better and you have the SD card slot. Also I am running JB 4.2.2 flashed following information from these very forums.

Which ROM? How's it running? Just curious. CWM protects from the brickbug so was just waiting.....

Old, maybe, but other than the Toshiba try to find another tablet with an almost 8" Super AMOLED+

Ended up getting the Galaxy Tab 2 7" at Frys for $219 with JB installed. Saved $150.

Hope it will give you much pleasure despite the fact that it is a low-end device, opposed to the high-end 7.7

GT 7.7 is better built quality than Nexus 7.
it's supposed to get JB as Samsung Thailand says.
but when this happen, already Android 5.0 will be out, and maybe 7.0 inch tablets with Full HD displays will out also, so if you like software upgrades fast and clean, go to nexus cause Samsung sucks at it, or wait until Full HD tablets with Android 5.0 is out.

it's still a great tablet. such excellent build quality, expandable memory, screen is amazing people comment on it all the time, option to get a pay as you go sim, keep it in there and get data as needed on a month to month basis, still quite fast with ICS. JB would be nice but not 100% needed plus there are some ROM options that provide JB like features.
im flying overseas this summer, right now there is no other tablet i would want with me. i can put multiple movies on here and watch them, and enjoy wifi wherever, and if really needed get wireless data also. what else could you ask for? well a nexus device with this kind of build quality, expandable memory and this screen. but that is not happening yet.

Dude ... the screen is really enough reason to buy that awesome device .. the only tab with Super AMOLED Plus screen !
and btw .. Samsung announced that it's going to have Jelly Bean update in Q2 i guess

Ideas for a new phone

I would recommend you a phone made by sony (there are many different xperias for your budget). I think their quality are quite good for price you pay and they also have quite good developer support.

I'd go for the most developer-friendly phone you can afford. Worth it. Take a look at the Galaxy S - I knew it is one of the oldest CM-supported phones, but I still choose it. All hardware working. Some say, it's a slow, aging 3-year old device. I say it's buttery smooth, million times faster than Galaxy 3 device, and that's it. Maybe there after some other phones it there faster than galaxy s, but this phone was cheap, awesome developer support, and for me still fast (with CM faster than my friend's stock S3 in some ways lol).
And I forgot... Don't forget that gyroscope No photosphere otherwise... Missing it a lot in Galaxy S lol

Maybe there after some other phones it there faster than galaxy s, but this phone was cheap, awesome developer support, and for me still fast (with CM faster than my friend's stock S3 in some ways lol).
And I forgot... Don't forget that gyroscope No photosphere otherwise... Missing it a lot in Galaxy S lol

Yeah. I think ill get an s2 as it has a lot of developer support (codeworkx develops cm like on my tab) and I find my tab extremly smooth (even on stock samsung) and the s2 has the about the same specs as my tab so i may go with it. Thanks for helping me make up my mind. Hope the galaxy 3 comunity doesnt die though.

Scratch that. Nexus 4 is now 80 pounds cheaper. Nexus 4 here I come
