Comparing the latest iPad and a newly released Android Tablet. Can anyone give me 3 good reasons for each device which is better and for what reason:
Latest iPad versus Latest Android Tablet
IPad has better apps, better accessories and better build quality (if compared to samsung). Latest android tablet can be hacked both software and hardware(presumably), and has the latest specs(except maybe gpu?)
Best Website To compare Any Devices
The best website I prefer to compare any devices of any XYZ company is.
www.gsmarena.com
Use the compare Function While viewing and phone specification.
And also the user review about the phone and the daily interest and popularity is available here.
I Always Use This
Don't Forget To Hit Thanks If this Website Helped you

If you want a super smooth and a well designed and neat UI, excellent build quality and have money to spare, go for the latest iPad.
If you want real value for money and the pure Android experience and the awesome option to develop your own software, go for Nexus(7 or 10).
If you are in between both the two, go for the latest Samsung Tablet.
And most of all, if you want to send songs or apps via Bluetooth or have a file explorer, go for any Android tablet.

Comparing either my old HTC Incredible or my newer S3 to this iPhone(4?) I have here from work doesn't seem fair. I don't know how anyone could use android and then go on to iPhone, it seems so limiting. Also it's heavy for the size.

Good question, I would like to know as well.
Nexus 7 or Xperia Z
Hi all,
I bought the nexus 7 a week ago but i haven't been that happy with the device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232569).
Im not sure I really need a tablet, and having another device to carry/charge is also a little annoying.
My iPhone 3GS is on the way out anyway- so i thought of returning my Nexus 7, and getting the Xperia Z instead.
Any comments on this? I do plan to read a lot on it (ereader). How is the xperia z to read on? Ok size?
Lumia 710 vs sony W8
i've been using my nokia lumia 710 for 6 month
i used custom ROM, so far lumia 710 so good, fast, smooth, good camera, can install xap application via pc, or direct download.
compare to my firnds android device W8, its lag, and limited in RAM
tornerei after
samsung note 2 dual sim N1702 vs samsung grand duos I9082
can't decide
China phone:
Goophone i5 vs zoophone 5
High Brand:

I also love gsmarena.com as some users have already pointed out... only "problem" I see is that you can't compare more than 2 devices at once...

If you are getting a phone for mainly reading, I suggested either an amoled screen, for battery saving purposes, or a lcd3 screen, which imo, looks better. According to what I've read, the z's screen is washed out, so I would avoid it.

Hi all
I have bought a GT-P6201 - a Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 7.0 Plus N (WiFi / 3G) 16GB and I have some questions:
1. Is this device the "same" (as far as I know only the speakers are different, but I´m not sure...) like the normal Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 7.0 Plus (WiFi / 3G), the GT-P6200?
2. If yes, can I use the custom ROM´s and ClockworkMod Recovery for the GT-P6200?
3. Are there any XDA users out there having the same device? So that we can share "our" experience, questions, problems and solutions?
Thanks.

1) Should be YES
2) There's not a REAL custom ROM for our P6200 I'm about to realize one as soon as I have enough free time. You should be able to flash CWM and Root your device without any issue
3) As I've seen 'till now you're the only one who own this version of Tab Plus, hope someone else can share your experiences
'Cuz of that, I'd like to ask you if you can share some photos of your device maybe in its differences (speakers)
Let us know

Yesterday i orderd the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus N (GT-P6211) German Version.
It should arrive on 04.04.2012. Is the P6211 the same as the P6210? The Hardware is the same.
When it arrive I'll try to root it and flash CWM. I tell you if it works.

wifi only
The U.S. wifi only, 16gb, is the gt-p6210. see the samsung us site below. Samsung US site so this is the us version in the link. It is a/b/g/n wifi.
http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/GT-P6210MAAXAR#specs
Afaik:
6200 = 6201
6210 = 6211
It looks different but the hardware should be the same.
BTW: I own a 6211 and am happy with it.

There should be a mistake somewhere between the question and the answer...
I don't have an indepth german language knowledge, but when I see UMTS I guess that means 3G and not Wifi only !!!
We can find even cheaper but just to have an idea about the product and the specification (in german that time, but google translate should help) :
http://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Touchs...DA6U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335349342&sr=8-1
I'm thinking about buying one but I have 2 questions :
1) Is it possible to place a phone call with this Samsung Honeycomb just as with P1000 ??? ^^
2) What custom ROM can we expect to replace this Honeycomb ???
I really love my P1000, but if can have the same formfactor much lighter in the pocket, with dual core and 1 GB RAM with the same quality as with P1000, why not...
Anyone can compare the functionalities between Samsung Gingerbread and Samsung Honeycomb, specially for multimedia and bluetooth support ?
I already saw some missed with galaxy Tab 8.9" and 10.1" as multimedia and bluetooth were not as good as with GT P1000...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You are right, i made a mistake.
P6200 = P6201 3G
P6210 = P6211 WiFi
The P6201/P6211 is the German version. Samsung had to change the appearance because Apple complained that it look like the iPad.
To your questions:
1) Yes you can make phone calls on the P6200 3G version!
2) There is only CM9 as custom ROM, but it is in Development, because it has many bugs.
For me Honycomb is very smooth and stable and Samsung has confirmed that ICS will come to our Device soon. About bluetooth I can not say much because I haven't used it yet.
Stock videoplayer on the 6200 has pretty limited codec support - but with mx videoplayer or moboplayer, I haven't found anything it can't play - most using hardware acceleration aswell. I have the hdmi dock and output to a 50" hdtv and it's every bit as good as my archos - and that's saying something as archos are unbeatable for multimedia support.
As far as I can see, there are few differences to justify the massive price difference between the 7.0 and the 7.7 - slighty more powerful cpu and a little more screen real eastate but no IR blaster. I thought long and hard about which one, I reckon for the money the 7.0 plus 3G is the one to get, it's even really good as a phone, I thought I might make the odd call on it but have ended up using it more than my arc s
i`ve searching around but still don`t find where the custom rom link is...can anyone paste me some link of it..
my device is P6200DXKK5 for baseband version
and 2.6.36-P6200DXKL3-CL608366 [email protected] #3 for kernel version

Hey Folks!
I´m wondering if there is/will be something similar to the Samsung Galaxy Smart Dock for the Nexus 4 in near future. The Smart Dock (Multimedia Dockingstation
EDD-S20E) is just available for the S3 and the Note 2 and offers the user a Dock with 3 USB ports, an HDMI port and a speaker line out (while the device can be charged as well).
This seems to be quite a monster accessoire imao, as one really can use the device as a PC replacement (in some way ). As I´m still fighting with the decision to either buy a Note 2 or to wait for the Nexus, I would love to know if the Nexus will offer me such a "flexibility" as well!
Someone out there with more knowledge than myself?

The dock idea would be great! However I think the idea of trying to create something like this ourselves would sound fun too.
So, is it confirmed that Nexus 4 has OTG?
Thanks.

good design and specs.. I think you should add a laser beam features. It can kill bad people or iphones.
the casing should be black and have baby skin touch.
dual boot. too much work for sony, enough said. each every update will take too much time and resource for a silly phone.
hahaha...good for u to try something new...BUT
i can c that obviously u r not designer..phone design is not that simple...
u need to think about lots of things not only the look but how to hold the phone, grip and size etc(too many)...i can say the sony wouldnt even bother to look at this design...im sry...but keep trying...one day u will achieve something...haha..
if apple would sue this thing of it's design i'll go crazy haha a very unique design

You mean like Nokia N9 that runs 2 OSs ? I can see you're dreaming man
Sony didn't listen to us when we asked them for ICS for Xperia Play
Sony didn't listen to its customers when they wanted a quad core phone in 2012
Why would Sony listen to you ? + they have a lack of developers + they are so busy upgrading Xperia 2012 devices to Android 4.2
Good ,look nice.

Hi.
I hope i put this thread in the right place. Please move if not.
I want to make you all aware of the Neo N003 Premium and Neo N003 Youth.
Two Android phones that i think have great potential for a low price.
Check them out.

Sounds pretty good to me.
I hope the Sony 13 mega-pixel camera will deliver and that the screen is good.
If thats the case i sooo hope that the wonderful people here on xda do what they do and mod the shiit out of them :good:
Im already looking forward to all the questions about what kernel is best for battery *Snicker*
Your thoughts??
The Neo N003 looks great. I've been looking at it for a few weeks now.
I especially like that it's supposed to be the first mtk6589 phone to get usb otg and hdmi.
I'd still probably wait for the 2GB premium version.
Basically for the mtk6589 1080p 2GB phones I really only like 2 of them. The iOcean X7 Premium and the Neo N003.
I just got a iNew i2000 and have been messing around with it. It's very nice, but it's only 720p.
These companies like to make customers hot and then delay the release to another week then to another month. The release will be the end of april now.
I hate the look of the Neo N003, it looks so common. But specs are the best bang for the bucks.
I still prefer the iocean X7, but also the premium version.
Will be interesting to read what users think of it when it finally comes out.
Good choice ha!:thumbup:
Sent from my Karbonn_A1 using xda premium
The Neo N003 seems to be the most cost effective one out of the Android phones coming from China with similar specs based on rumours so far. My only issue is the lack of bands these phones cover. 2G will be no problem but 3G is weak and no LTE.
I'll be buying one of this (and in a joint purchase we'll get about 500 of this phone, both youth or premium) directly from NEO's factory. It looks like they extended the 3G bands as it now supports 850/900MHz band on 3G. You can see almost full specs here, many of them confirmed directly talking with NEO:
http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=8082128&postcount=1
Photos also look good:
Right now there are 350 people in the list (it's a joint purchase with 2 forums, HTCMania and Forocoches), 200 on HTCMania list (which hasn't been updated since some time) and about 150 in forocoches one.
There will be Forum on XDA ?

There should be one for NEO N003, general, as both share almost every single spec (only difference is RAM & ROM size).
is it dual sim?

lightake is excellent. there is a coupon thread here as well for the neo n003. in my opinion, not worth an extra $90 or so for the ultimate. the standard should suit 99.9% of users just fine.

Neo N003 2GB version is being pre-sold but the iOcean X7 pre-sells are only the youth 1GB version.
i can't see the advantage of having 2GB ram over 1GB if in ANDROID we have ZRAM (like virtual memory in windows) and the games/apps are running fine on 512mb RAM...
BTW, any news about this phone? still presale?
Some reviews say iOcean X7 Youth version has lower display specs, most say it's the same. Camera is 13mp in full version but 8mp in Youth version.

Android 5? well, next one looks like it will be Android 4.3, but we don't know if it will be updated.
There are already root guides for MT6589 phones, and this one doesn't look like it will be any harder. About custom roms, in HTCMania we are buying about 3000 phones so, yeah, maybe there will be roms.
