Hello my family is considering a tablet to buy. What would be a good one that will last? I was thinking of nexus 10 or Galaxy tab 10.1 but this will be my first tablet so I don't know much about them. Please give me you're opinions. Also is the Sony tablet good because I like Sony though I haven't heard too many good things about it?

If you like stock android, go for nexus 10. If you prefer samsung's touchwiz skin, buy the 10.1...Personally I prefer the nexus because of the stock jellybean OS...

So they are both pretty similar in speed and specs? I was also leaning towards the nexus 10 because its straight from Google and it looks like it would last longer.

Since the nexus 10 is newer than the tab 10.1, it has the better specs in pretty much every area.....if you're gonna get a samsung, I suggest getting a note 10.1...

I'm very surprised nobody asked you what you want to use it for. Different tablets are good for different reasons. Functionality (s-pen on note 10.1), screen (nexus 10), portability (nexus 7), etc

Well if you ask me about the best tablet it very difficult to answer ,because every people has their opinion and their experience about tablet they used,but maybe i'd prefer Sony xperia S tablet/Sony Xperia Z Tablet or Google Nexus 7/Google Nexus 10 ,sorry i'm not apple fanboy.
Go for Nexus Family. 10 or 7, what suits you best. Both are great and would be stay so for a long time. I bought Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and had to root, because TouchWiz is not so smooth as the stock/CM roms.
I have a galaxy tab 2, can not live without:good:

OK no one needs to comment on here about anything other than either galaxy nexus 10 or one of the Sony tablets those are what I've narrowed it down to. I was about to buy nexus 10 but decided to do a little more research first. Thanks for all your opinions.

Nexus 7 for having better processor.
iPad 3 for bigger screen.
Nexus 7 if you want Android updates that bring better features.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it's still on Android 3.2 honeycomb.
It's one of the reasons that I bought this nexus. My future android devices will all be nexus.

If you dont mind having a smaller screen go for the nexus 7 i have a galaxy tab but its really slow also nexus 7 has jellybean and will recieve future updates before the galaxy tab (if they ever get an update) i really hope google makes a 10.1" version of the nexus, hope i helped

hi jainkashish96! for me is nexus 7 for same reasons of choosing galaxy nexus. it's google's "official" tablet, full support, fresh updates with no long waiting, no limitation caused by other company and olso an nvidia kay! i think Kay is one of the best idea for mobile world, especially for tablets . don't forget the dimension, perfect for me, a good compromise.
Nexus 7 for sure Go for it
take a look at this, http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/ and keep in mind function like google now that is million times better than s-voice that personally consider an app/service that samsung had to add for upcoming voice assistant services, but is only a s**** app on a device, badly developed

Opinion?
As it was asked earlier, This sound like an opinion question. But I do like facts and more information before recommending a device. However as far as overall "Android" device, I would say that is the Nexus line because of the heritage and Options/Customization.
if you talk about customization and numbers of roms made for it HTC HD2 and SGS-1 are best.
I think best tablet spec wise is the Nexus 10. The best phone is a dual between Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
My Nexus 10 is cooler than yours.

Hi,
I am from Canada Quebec . above mention are currently available phone in Canada. I love the new xperia Z but I don't know when it will come here and I want to take new plan this month.
Also the galaxy here is only dual core.
I want some thing that don't get outdated in 1 and half year.
thanks for your advise and help

I love my Nexus 4 so I might be a little biased saying go for the nexus, but to me it is amazing. Great screen, s4 pro, and beautiful build (although I use a case to cover my beautiful phone), and timely updates. Only complaint I have is battery. All for 350, no contract.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9001 con Tapatalk 2
I played around with my S3 and my boss' N4. I have a custom AOSP rom on the S3, and after seeing how the OS is almost the same, everything worked about the same, except the screen on the S3 seems to have more contrast and better colour saturation. And the screen on the S3 is a tiny bit bigger. So from these 2 phones I'd get the S3 if you find it for the right price.
The problem with S3 is that in Canada we only have dual core version. Which means it has outdated specs while all new phone off high end are quad core. AsI have to sign 3 year contact I don't want to be stuck with already outdated phone.
So what is your advise. Nexus 4 noon expendable memory is already an issue but if even battery life is bad to then it is no go too.
I am so confused

It's google so it'll be more convenient to reprogram it.
Try and Wait
I personally think that you should wait a bit longer for some of the newer phones to come out if not then the nexus 4 would be your best bet.
If you really need to buy a phone NOW, and can't wait for like ... a month and a half - then go for either Optimus G or Nexus 4 ... They have the specs for this year and the next one, Nexus being a Nexus will get more updates - but 4.1 is enough on a phone like Optimus G - you won't get any lags thx to Project Butter ... It all depends on you dude, I'd force myself to wait if I was you though ... Atleast for an S4, Optimus G Pro, HTC M7 or Xperia Z / ZL ...
Samsumg galaxy s3 for ever but xperia z... hmm so good!
If this was for myself I would choose the Nexus 4
Nexus 4 all day :good: These newer phones coming out. Don't care
nexus 4 all day ... S3 is a very good phone but the nexus is newer. And i don't like samsung.
i prefere nexus 4
Phablets Rule
I suggest you wait till the mobile world congress this February as a lot of new hardware will be announced. Some cool phablets are expected at the show as well. Also the Samsung Galaxy SIV is due next month. Just wait out a little longer to see whats on offer and then take a decision.

You should get the nexus 4 off contract if you get that. If I were you I'd get the s3. My galaxy s2 has has specs that were top notch in 2011 and its dual core, but I'd wager that it running 4.1.2 on the Samsung based shostock3 ROM that it can compete easily performance wise with stock s3's and n4's. Maybe not the quad core beast of the note II...that being said I'm saving up the $600+ it will cost for an S4 this year.

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.

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.

S3. iPhone 5 is good but is extremely limited. S3 just blows everything out of the water.
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.

Hi Guys,
I am currently have Note 10.1 3G version and I am eying to a smaller form factor Nexus 7 (second gen?). Do you think it would be worth to replace my current tab to Nexus 7? Or maybe Note 8.0 ?
I am looking a portable yet powerful tab. I dont watch full length movie or play intensive games on tab. What i need is to be able to check my emails, fb, chat with friends, play bit of simple games , skype, Google apps, maps. I also need a tab thay has capability of wifi hotspot.
Your thoughts please.

I suggest waiting for the 2nd gen Nexus 7. It may be the best 7" tablet on the market when it comes out and it could be only $200-250 if they price it like the first gen. The rumor is that it will be announced next month, so let's wait and see!

Nexus Suggestion
I do agree with the others, I have bought 2 Nexus 7 tablets 6 months ago and I agree that having 4.2.2 out of the box is awesome considering some of the latest phones are just starting to get it, they are ahead as far as software goes. they are lean with an AOSP interface but as well as they are stable, Ive found that the battery as much as it should be awesome is not stellar on either of the 2 I own. I am not hypocritical of the device as I think they're awesome but for the $199 they are worth it.. and if the 2nd gen matches in price with improved specs, it's a win-win...
Cool.. Thanks guys. Im sure the new nexus 7 is worth buying. But we are not sure when this new device will be release, but still I'm holding for awhile
