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..

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!

Im looking fora Android tablet. And i want to use it as a gaming platform. So wich one has the best present/future game support? Im talking about Gameloft/etc.
I would go with either the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Asus Eee Pad Transformer w/dock.
I'll probably go with the galaxy tab, but then aging I haven't seen too much gaming development going on, so I would wait for the next google tablet (maybe some months from now) or get an iPad 2 (definitely good for gaming)

All honeycomb tablets have the same graphic capabilities. Now which one is overall better? I think the transformer since you can use it as a lappy. But the galaxy tab 10.1 is a bit smoother thanks to samsung. The new galaxy tab 7" will have hardware better than the other tablets, but you will not be able to play some tegra games on it. e.g. monster madness, bang bang racing, GOF2, etc.
If however it is just pure gaming, the iPad2 is the best of them all, no contest.
The answer is obviously the Asus Prime. Comes out next month and is thinner than the Ipad 2 w the quad core tegra 3.
No brainer

True. An iPad 1 can easily beat the most powerful Android tablet in terms of gaming experience: it's not a matter of hardware, there aren't console quality games on Android, and imho we're not getting any in the near future: it's too complicated and expensive for developers to port the real games to Android, there are too many devices.

Well really all they need to do is make their games in standard openGL and then everyone will be able to play their games. Unless standard openGL just isn't say powerful enough to get the games we want. Well for a console games we're getting GTA 3. xD Wish we could get games like real racing or infinity blade.

No you're missing the point. He is saying that even though it has the power, we have to find devs who will sit down and code these powerful games for us. Which I think the devs who can are already into the console business, just need to convince them that the mobile business is profitable also.
Actually you're all dead wrong. Best tablet for gaming is the Sony tablet S. It actually DOES have console quality games. The full PlayStation online store. Everything the xperia play can do.
I have a transformer and love it but honestly at this point I'd wait for the quad core tablets to come out. Shouldn't be much longer. Although price wise the transformer for the money is a great deal in my opinion.

I recently got the 7.0 plus as a late Christmas gift. I like the size of the tablet because it is nice and light and goes everywhere. However, I have a few cons that I am wondering if they are deal breakers for me.
The first is the lack of games that can be played on the 7.0 plus. I don't want my tablet to play games all the time but I was hoping to be able to play a few games (like riptide or asphalt6) and this tablet cannot play those types of games.
The second is that some tablet apps don't work on this device and I would guess that is because of the 7 inch size. I was hoping to mainly use the device to read news, magazines and books. I do not care too much about videos because I have a laptop that can handle all HD videos I throw at it.
I'm stuck between size, weight and portability versus games and proper apps. Does anyone know how the Thrive, Transformer or Samsung 8.9 tablet handle these things?
Thanks for any help
Have you tried Chainfire? This may allow you to play the games you mentioned. As far as the other apps are concerned, you may want to contact the developers. They may just need to update the app so it recognizes the 7.0 Plus as a tablet.
Keep in mind, this tablet is relatively new, and my guess is, many issues like this will be resolved in due time.

Agreed chainfire is about your only option right now. With that said the exynos chips are very very good....just give it some more time for the dev community to pick up.

I second what the posters above have already said. Chainfire 3D will allow you to play those games for now, but with time these games will be updated to work with the 7.0 Plus. The same goes for the tablet apps.
To answer your second question, the 8.9, (since it is Tegra 2) can handle everything you have discussed in your post, and it is closest in size to the 7.0 Plus of all of the tablets you have mentioned. If you like the portability of the 7.0 Plus, a move to the Transformer or the Thrive, (especially the Thrive as it is so thick,) will feel a good deal less portable.
My advice, (for what it's worth) would be to get chainfire3D for now to play the games and then stop using it or even get rid of it once the games have been updated for your tablet. The tablet apps will be updated, it will just take a few more weeks. (I seriously doubt it would take more than 3 more weeks for developers to update their apps.) I hope this helps. Have fun with your tablet.

HUH? Riptide works great even without chainfire. Asphalt 6 on the other hand is fairly new and still doesn't support our tablet officially. But there are some workarounds with that. (thanks to chrisrotolo for teaching me )
Well, I haven't really found any tablet optimized app that doesn't work on the GTab+. I think it is compatible with our device but maybe it's not available on your country?

I was messing around with the dpi and find if you change it to 132 if the app has a tablet optimized version it will show properly on the tab. Try it with the IMDB app you'll see what I mean.
Thanks for the responses guys! I tried riptide and it FC'd. I'm in America and the apps I was talking about is thinks like CNN Tablet Edition cannot even be installed. It says it does not recognize my device.
I will have to try chainfire and see how it works! Thanks again for the help
Actually, can anyone help me so I can get the games to work?
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!

+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+)
Hey all!
First let me say that I searched and couldn't find any similar topic so excuse me if there's any! It might be my eyes :cyclops:
Ok so I am really considering to buy a XOOM, and I've done some good search about it and i like it! But what i couldn't really know about is the gaming experience!
Since the tab is a bit old now running with the first dual cores generation; i'm afraid that it might not run the new games in a good way!
By that i mean new games like batman, spiderman, asphalt 7, MW3 (bit old), FIFA 2012, 9mm, dead space, nova 3, etc... and all those power hungry games!
Can anyone share with me/us his experience!
And please you are welcomed to open a gaming experience conversation too in this thread so we can all share it together!
Thank you!
PS: I mean real gaming experience, lags, FPS, etc... and not games compatibility!
Don't worry, you'll find on android 80 % of games that are on iOS, and exclusivities also
Moved from 3GS to the XOOM and I downloaded back nearly all the games I had on the 3GS
Gaming on the Xoom is an extremely pleasant experience. All those *new* games work very well and the 10.1 inch screen makes it fun to game.

Asphalt and dead space run fine.
Some minor slow downs on asphalt, but nothing that hinders game play. Haven't tested dead space too much yet.
Asphalt has random slowdowns on most devices, its due to the software, look at reviews for the app and a bunch of people are complaining of lag. Its up to Gameloft to fix the lag.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Do you know what devices have trouble with Asphalt 7? It's like night and day switching between my Xoom and Galaxy Nexus with that game.
My galaxy nexus runs asphalt without a hitch, my Xoom occasionally laggs but nothing to be concerned about.

Are you considering to buy a Xoom or Xoom 2?
The Xoom is quite heavy which in my opinion lowers the game quality for some games. I don't know about the weight of Xoom 2 but there are a lot of new tablets of many manufacturers and the prices will decrease a lot. In 6 or 12 months tablets in general will be much cheaper, also the release price for new models will. Prices for used Xoom 1 will be extremely low this year around/after Christmas.
Especially for gaming consider the weight of a tablet!
Anyway good games are Six Guns and Dungeon Defenders (but they are also good on other devices).
Have fun!
The weight doesn't bother me, you get used to it.

I totally agree but the issue I think are the devs. They tend to be lazy and only want to add support certain devices. A great example would be Prime and Nexus 7 which are Tegra 3 devices and have a lot of apps and games available for it. Gameloft and EA included. Tf700 does not. But if you side load the games, a lot of them will actually work. Less with EA games though. So for most its probably just adding tf700 as compatible in the play store.
Based on that I dont think it matters too much if you have Tegra 3, 4, 5 or 6 but more device model specific whether app will be available for it or not.

Whoa looks like the GPU will be running past the retina resolution with T4.
1440p video processor?...flat screen LCD TV's have just started showing up in this resolution.
Looks like the big deal with Tegra 4 is the smaller micron die that the processor is built on.
12 nm smaller less heat less power used.
Here we go with the next best thing
