IOS is smoother and better quality.
Android is easier to customize, and have more apps.
i am not an apple fanboy, but in this case i would pick the ipad.
Note have a better function for ya I think.. so much app in android is free.. and pretty usefull for collages.. than buying an app on iOS store but have same function and same features :good:

There's lots of HD tablets with a better screen that iPad the retina display is overrated a dnactually it depends on what tablet you get mist androids has better hardware than the crappy dual core ipad has so better graphics for android but I do agree with apps ios does have better apps but are you really gonna choose iOS just because it has better apps? Get a galaxy tablet HD. Or if you get a chance a nexus 10 its better than anything lol

IZOMBIE DIE DIE but really why are you gonna recommend him a iPad AKA APPLE DEVICE when there's many great tablet more importantly why are you on the android boards instead of the iPhone

Well if its for college and you want something to take notes on during lectures, then the s-pen of the Note 10.1 will allow much better precision when writing. If you've ever written with a regular capacitive stylus it feels like you are using a big marker. Theres also better multitasking on the Note since it can do side by side windows. The iPad will have more tablet apps and games. Reading and browsing the internet will probably be more or less the same on both platforms.
I'd say the iPad may have slightly more entertainment value but the Note 10.1 will have much more productive value for school work.

would u guys prefer buyin xperia x10 or galaxy s.............?
i mean bth r equally awe$$ome fones......but
GS has only 5 mp cam wid no flash............
while X10 has 8.1 wid flash but has some probs.............
No Questiion, Galaxy S. Better Hardware, better Software. If you want a Cam, buy a dedicated one.
oh evn i'm wid GS...........but speria has 8.1 mp...........only diff tht stps me.........
hey does either 1 of 'em hav free navigation?
I have experience with both and hands down the Galaxy S is just much more comfortable to me. It's camera is still good enough for taking some quick snaps, which is only what I'd use a phone for. It's always held up to running games, apps etc. smoothly. I have had issues with the usb though which are a little off putting.
X10 is still not a bad phone and I'd suggest seeing if you can try them both out in store before you buy either as a lot of it is down to user preference.
SGS
Galaxy S would be better if u want to have MIUI ROM official supported Greatest android mod IMHO)
so i think frm wht u guys say galaxy s is btter............kk
OF course the Galaxy S is better than the current crop of Xperias, due to the mass of better tech in the Galaxy S I would think
Sony Ericsson are probably the worse smartphones to date, they are cheap looking, badly built and break easy. X10 is no exception, while instead the SGS is still a pretty wicked phone, especially for gaming purposes, you'll still be able to enjoy tegra games for a fair bit of time. It's also a really cheap phone right now, a great bang for the buck, about 300€ and you'll have it, if you know where to buy over the internets ofc

do you mean 6,000 pesos?..hmmmm samsung galaxy y is best for your budget.. you can also try acer...i forgot the model just search it on internet... it's cheaper than samsung galaxy y
I would definately choose for the SGS2!
It has a great developement section, so you can always upgrade using ROMs!
I think it is above your budget, but it gives you the highest price/quality ratio.
It has an 8 MP camera with LED flash.
Even after 7pm today, the new Galaxy is being shown, the SGS3 so the price of the SGS2 will fall by the appearing of his new brother
People expect the SGS3 will be in stores in approx. 7 days, so I should then watch the price of the SGS2!

i wish that s2 may have another brother like s4, 5, 6 and 7. So that SGS2 would go down to Php 6000 haha. Coz i want it.
Being on a tight budget, I would even recommend that you go for the Samsung Galaxy S Plus.
As I've had it for some time, I can assure you that it performs really well with the right ROM and tweaks.
Also, it currently has almost fully-working builds of CM7 and CM9, and you can expect a lot of other custom ROMs, although there were some issues in development.
sgs2 it's so popular and supported
I don't think you'll get a Galaxy Note or a Samsung Galaxy S2 for under 6000 Philippine pesos.

1. I would say yes.
2. Nope.
It's a bit crazy but, I tested cyanogenmod 10 (jelly bean) and aokp roms but I hate the interface,
after that, I returned to the default rom, waiting for something better (The rom were pretty fast in
general but the interface sucks balls and I lost a lots of apps, so I returned back to the default rom)
And if you root this device or install a new rom with recovery, when you boot this thing with power on + volume up,
on the left corner, you can see if your device was "hacked" or not with the number of flashed roms.
Ignore my frenglish.

I am thinking to get SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3110 7.0 Tablet PC - 8 GB, White
I own a P-3113 and its a great little tablet , the only issues i have had are the ones i have caused , You can get a better spec tablet like the Nexus 7 but that has one major problem....NO external SD card slot. If you want to play games you need that facility as some games have as much as 1 GIG of content to download ( NOVA 3 for example),YOU CAN'T STORE YOUR GAMES ON THE SD CARD , but you can store your other media on it , such as nandroid back ups and media (pictures/ films and music)
These tablets are not top of the range but neither is the price !
You can't play all the top end games on this but you certainly do have a large selection to choose from.
If you want fast updates and the stock Android experience (as well as a quad core processor and 12 core graphics) then get the Nexus 7, but if you like the Samsung Touchwiz UI and Micro SD (and don't mind waiting a few months for Android updates), then the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is a good tablet.
I can play GTA 3 on Gtab2 7.0
Thank you for help to decide, i will the the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 inch Tablet - White (16GB, WiFi, Android 4.0) that cost £273.34 and has £50 Cashback from samsung, so will cost £223.34, hope does the same job.

You don't want this. Buy a brand name Android phone.
iPhone clone Android are really dumb, because think about it: Android has home, menu (not really on ICS anymore), back, search (again, not on ICS). But the iPhone clones have a single button. So how will you navigate with that single button when you AT LEAST need back and home?

The goophone i5 has a Single Hardware Button wich is mapped with the menukey function. But there are onscreen softbuttons too. So there will be no Problem in Navigation.

Makes it even worse. Why have a single hardware button, along with onscreen keys, when they could just add the menu button into the navigation bar (like AOKP)? It would look awful.
@OP The phone will probably be stuck with its original firmware forever, and most market apps will list the phone as "incompatible." For its price, which I think is upper $200s or even $300+, it would be a better idea to buy a Galaxy Nexus once its price drops, or even a used S2/Gnex

230 euros = $296
At any rate, it is trying to copy the iPhone 5 so it will attain its unique resolution of 1136x640, thus making pretty much any app unsupported
Also, it's tegra 3. Good, but incredibly overrated. The Snapdragon S4 dual core is on par with tegra 3

Doubts about goophone.
Hello,
I've this phone (Goophone I5) and the goophone y5 (iphone 4s clone).
In this post i'll do a review of both.
Goophone Y5
Unboxing:
Brings earphones, iphone data cable and charger. Even the manual is the same as iphone 4s.
Look:
Looks exactly the same as iphone 4s. It has the same aluminium structure, back case in glass and retina display with 960x640 pixels as the original iphone.
It came with a micro sim slot as the iphone 4s. So, you must cut your regular sim card to fit on this phone as you do with the real one.
OS Look
It looks exactly the same as iphone 4s. It comes with an default launcher that is 99,99% the same as the iphone 4s.
All the S.O was edited to look as the iphone 4s. And to be honest i'm really impressed with their work. It's very well made.
Performance:
This is a very good phone. It is fast, it runs all the most played games with no lag at all. I was expecting it to be some kind of slow and laggy, but it isn't. It does it job very well.
But you must take a point in consideration. This is an android based software, so it will not be as fast as an iOS phone. iOS is made in objective C and android is java based. so.. iOS is faster than any android based cellphone.
Camera
It has an 5.0 MP Camera with flash. The quality is good when you take pictures at day light. Night pictures aren't that good...but as any phone you get more quality with day pictures than night.
The video recording is good. The format is 3GP but is ok. The camera recording is fast and its quite reliable.
Overview
For that people who love android (like me) i recommend you to buy this phone. It's so similar, than if you have a real iphone 4s you can replace some parts from the goophone y5 (Screen and Battery).
I got mine from thecheapchoice.com
Here is the link: http://www.thecheapchoice.com/en/smartphones/13-goophone-y5-.html
The price is around $200 USD. But it worth every penny.
I bought mine from here. They have 3 options of shipping.
- Free shipping (15 -30 days).
- Registered air mail (Tracking code: 10 - 20 days )
- DHL, EMS, Fedex (5 - 10 Days)
Payment:
They only accept Paypal. But is okay! This way you have your order secured. If you don't get it in 45 days you can ask the refund.
This website is reliable, they don't lie to you, you get what you buy and their service is also good.
Goophone I5 Lite
Unboxing
Brings earphones, iphone data cable and charger.
Look
Looks exactly the same as iphone 5. It has the same aluminium structure with only 7.6mm , back case as the iphone 5 and display with 960*540 pixels (not retina display) but it has good quality. It is very very similar to retina display, you won't see the difference.
It came with a micro sim slot as the iphone 5. So, you must cut your regular sim card to fit on this phone as you do with the real one.
OS Look
It looks exactly the same as iphone 5. It comes with an default launcher that is 99,99% the same as the iphone 5. I think that the company took the launcher from the goophone y5 and just improved it.
All the S.O was edited to look as the iphone 5. It's more iphone like than the Y5
Performance
It is really fast. It brings a dual core processor and 1GB ram so you will notice that every move you make on it will be fast.
Camera
It has an 8.0 MP Camera with flash. The quality is good.
The video recording is also good.
Overview
The phone is good, is well made, good touch screen and it's fast. And the most important thing: It is ANDROID based. It's not heavy so it don't look like a brick in your pocket.
If i recommend it? Of course. Instead of paying more than $600 USD for a iphone 5 i can have this one for more than half a price, with the same look and with a good performance.
Link of the website: http://www.thecheapchoice.com/en/sm...n-dual-core-cpu-8mp-camera-android-phone.html
For the ones who say that chinese phones don't worth it, it's because you don't know how things are. China is currently the biggest smartphones productor of the globe.
There are hundreds of different phones, brands and models. So before buying one, you must search a lot until you find the correct one.
Some phones are exactly the same apparently, but then there are many brands making it..so, inside chinese clones are clones of clones..
Before buying a Goophone I5 or another Goophone, try to look for genuine ones and not clones like thunderbird, etc.
On that website, they only sell genuine Goohphone's. So if you want to buy one i think is the right place to go.
I hope i helped you out.

This question is directed at folks who own a Note 10.1. If you were looking for a tablet today, would you buy the Note 10.1 again or would you buy something else? Why? If you would buy a different tablet what would it be and why?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
In short: if I would by an android tablet I would definitely buy a Note 10.1 again, no doubt about it. However, having a quite decent laptop in the tablet would be nice sometimes so one doesn't have to carry two devices in school and still can run ie matlab and MS Office, so a series 7 Slate (also this from Samsung) is something I would really consider. But it's a lot more expensive and larger so using it for pure reading as an ebook-ish is probably not as pleasant but then again it's more devices in one combined with a small wireless keyboard.

Welllll,
I was waiting when I got my Note 10.1, then a really good deal (350 $US) came up on a refurbished 32GB model, so I jumped on it.
What I was cross shopping was the Samsung ATIV 500t, and the prices of those were down considerably, but after trying both in the store, the Note 10.1 was far smoother and a better experience than the ATIV, but the allure of running full windows Desktop apps (photoshop, illustrator, etc. )on a tablet is still there. The next line of Intel chips (Haswell, not the ones in the new G-tab 3) should hit the sweet spot of performance and battery life, and that's what I'd wait for, that or a sweet deal on the Note 8. The Note 8 is a very very compelling product, the pen is different in the 8" version and works a good bit better than on the 10.1, but the price is out of line from my expectations.
I bought the Note 10.1 for the features it had- 10" screen, Quad-Core CPU, 2GB RAM, fast Samsung Flash-memory and 3G connectivity (plus it's unlocked and there's kernel source available). For those specs, there's no currently-available equal.
That being said, once the upcoming Sony Tablet Z 3G/LTE comes out, I'll probably get it. I've had a chance to play with one of the prototypes and I like the form-factor and the fact that SonyMobile has released all the source already.
Every meeting I have when I start taking notes with my Note 10.1, I get asked about it and someone usually says "I wish my ipad did that"... There is simply no better pen input device on the market... yet!
I would wait because I would be expecting that a new Note tablet would come out, and this Note tablet would drop in price.

Actually, since the 8.0 recently was launched there won't be another similar tablet in this year or maybe "just in time for christmas shopping".
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
I would wait for the 5.0 upgrade if that is not just a rumour . or at least 4.2..... multiuser on this tablet would be usefull.
I too was looking for other new upcoming tablets like the new nexus thats about to hit in autumn or the xperia z that has sort of the same concept of multi tasking (refering to the floating apps that xperia home has) ; but i have trully fallen in love with the s- pen and multiwindow functionality and app developed here on xda !!
So for Now.. regarding your subject, the note is still serving all my needs in terms of performance.
The next note ( if there will be such ), will sure be quite interesting. The note 10.1 that exists allready has the cool revolutionary multi tasking concept mentioned, that not many android devices have yet implemented to be usefull enough for my user taste.
I'm thinkin that there are many directions to explore in android, that none big producer has explored till samsung started mostly .
Sure it would be great for me ...if i could run a vanilla aosp android 4.2 like on the nexus10 but multiwindowed... Even aokp and cm.....
Is should be possible in any device till now...no matter that version....theyre just teasing us.
I would consider the new Toshiba as that also had sd-card and a stylus but is super high-res. Just waiting to see how easy it will be to root. The resolution is the only way in which the Note could seriously be improved imo, but tbh I haven't found it to be much of an issue and I do a lot of technical pdf reading and annotating.
ASUS is currently giving its keynote presentation at Computex 2013 in Taipei where it has just rolled out the first of a few new Android devices, the refreshed and redesigned Transformer Pad Infinity.
10-inch 2560x1600 IPS display with 178-degree viewing angle
1.9GHz Tegra 4 CPU
2GB of RAM
32GB of storage, expandable by SDcard
802.11a/b/g/n Wifi
USB 3.0 port
4K video output over HDMI
399.00 price point and 499.00 with dock
The are also working on the ASUS Transformer Book Trio, runs Android "Jelly Bean"and Windows 8
It will have two CPUs -- a fourth-generation Intel Core i7 U4500 for Windows and an Atom 2580 for Android. It's also got two banks of storage available -- a 1TB traditional hard drive and 64GB of flash storage and a 1080p IPS display.
The Trio can be docked and used as a tablet or a laptop. But it also boasts an additional usage mode -- the docking station can be connected to a monitor to create a full desktop PC experience. So it looks like the Atom chip lives in the display, while the Core i7 likely resides in the dock.
All about android talked about it on there webcast this week. ( http://twit.tv/show/all-about-android/112 starts at 16:20 mark )
It looks like they are going after Samsung and Microsoft's business so you should expect a new line or upgrades from Samsung.
I would most likely stick with my Note 10.1 as I already know what it can do and I'm happy.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295071 <--- I just asked the same question a week ago or so and I bought the Note 10.1. It's a great device and I got it for $309. Can't argue much about that....

Now that's a good deal.
Was it new?
I would repurchase a note 10.1
Or even better buy a note 8.0
