So currently have a galaxy note 1 phone , just found out today theres a Asus Fonepad which looks pretty nice and has the 7" display,
So got a couple of questions, I know you can call people on them but can you text on them? as I know some devices you cant!
And yeh so any reviews would be great.... Im also thinking about the galaxy mega which should be out very soon the 6.3" version but don't know what to do.
This is going to be a phone/tablet for me so needs to be able to text and call and no im not fussed at how big it is I love it even if it looks stupid
Thanks
Keep your Galaxy Note until the Note 3 comes out.
My fonepad is pretty laggy, the intel processor is underpowered, that is why they released a new model with a faster chip at 1.6ghz only a few days after I ordered mine.
And Android 4.2 is nowhere to be seen. They said it would be out in a matter of weeks. Well it has been a few weeks, where is it hmm?
Yes you can text on it.

all right thanks, any ideas how big the note 3 will be? as like I said I am liking the galaxy mega does look really nice and big so not sure what to do?
Ah good, do you find it to big to use as a phone or is it fine?
Thanks
The most persistent rumor with the note 3 is a foldable display.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
foldable display would be cool but probably expensive. I went and looked at the asus and was nice but decided im going to wait for either the mega or note 3, apparently they should be out Julyish but that's just according to google so ill see,. Thanks
Sammobile has the leaked note 3 specs: 5.99" NON-FOLD display, same device size as the 2. (smaller bezel, same way they did with s3&s4)

Official announcement is expected at the 20th june event, predicted store launch in September.
Thing about the mega is it's extremely low-res. (480 I believe) Note 3 is full-HD.

Oh really that's good I suppose I should wait until then just to be sure, its annoying wish they could just make one with everything in!
Im still using my galaxy note on a 2 year contract which ends next September which is a pain but would probably buy my new one out right!! should wait really haha
There's already an Asus Padfone 2 which has a better spec than the Padfone and the new flagship one which I've been drooling about, the Asus Padfone Infinity with quadcore krait processor.

Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), Very similar to the Galaxy Tab plus!
It looks like Samsung has just taken the wraps off its latest tablet offerings, with the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) -- an ICS-laced follow-up to the company's original seven-incher. Available in both 3G and WiFi varieties, this redux doesn't mark a huge departure from its predecessor, packing a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 1024 x 600 LCD. The big changes, however, come in the software department, with the Galaxy Tab 2 shipping with Android 4.0 straight out of the box. Other than that, you'll find a three-megapixel rear-facing camera, a VGA shooter up front, Bluetooth capabilities, and HSPA+ connectivity. No word yet on pricing or availability, but it's worth noting that we first saw this announcement hit Samsung's RSS feed earlier this morning, and it appears to have been pulled since then. It all looks awfully official to us, but when it becomes officially official, we'll be sure to update this post accordingly. Until then, be sure to head past the break for a shot of its backside.

What's Up Technology
whatsuptechnology99.blogspot.com
I just got the 7.0 plus last week. So reading all the stuff about the tab 2 there seems like I have no real reason for tab envy right? Or do you think I should return and wait for this?
Well the Galaxy Tab 2 has a slower processor. I wouldn't go and run to return it. The Plus will be receiving ICS and theoretically be faster. At that point hopefully Samsung will release ALL of the source code and not leave some out so people can start developing further for the Plus.
So to answer your question stick with what you have.
Stick with the 7.0+ it's equal or better in all hardware aspects.
This is just an ICS bait-and-switch tactic by Samsung.

How much did u pay? Best Buy just dropped the price down to $299.
And for anyone waiting or regretting a 7plus purchase, don't, our 7plus is a better device. And if it a 1ghz tegra 2 in that tab 2, then our tab is a ****load better. Tegra 2 isn't all that.

My 16GB Tab 7.0 Plus was $600 in Kenya. We don't have very much choice here. Oh well!
btw, the Galaxy Tab 2 is Exynos, not Tegra. But the processor is slower. I believe the GPU is still an ARM Mali 400. The screen might be AMOLED, though...?

While it's tempting to have the latest and greatest I also bought mine last Friday and am completely satisfied with it. To be honest I can't usually tell the difference between one OS and another so having GB or ICS isn't going to do much for me if there isn't a very obvious difference. So I'll be happy with my Plus. Now phones? that's different...
official pricing and dates, good news for us waiting for ICS?
I sure hope so.

The Tab 2 is using inferior processer, TI OMAP. Theres a reason its able to sell for $249 why its 1ghz, because its not a exynos and mali.
What i want to know is, will all the accessories for the OG 7" Tab work for the Tab 2.
I want to buy the Tab 2 and some of the accessories ie. case, connectors and dock. But i know Samsung always switch up for every Tab they drop and i'm yet to see Tab 2 specific accessories.

Wow, this Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 rocks the socks off the Infinity. I wonder why it just seems so much smoother? 16GB is $399. Can't beat it. And guess what? The two STEREO speakers are on the front!
Anyone compare these products? I'm a bit surprised.
Are your retinas burning?
Also, tf700 isn't dual core, it's quadcore @ 1.6 ghz and it costs 499 for the 32 gb version.
The screen resolution is horrible and if you like waiting 12 months for post purchase firmware support, good luck with that. They are notoriously slow with updating their product. Why you ask? Because they want you to buy their next best product in their lineup. If they updated their software and it's comparable with the new Samsung, people won't buy. That's why I love Asus so darn much. They are constantly updating for us to keep us happy campers.
That's why Samsung didn't update their screen ext... they know people will jump aboard because the software on their previous models is antiquated.

Well... As others said... I personally owned Galaxy 10.1, Galaxy 10.1 Verizon 4G version before. Samsung is extremely slow on its update and I believe finally original 10.1 is getting ICS now. Touch Wiz is nothing but slow down overall performance. Perhaps Galaxy 2 might been different, but my infinity runs much smoother than the Galaxy 10.1 Setting Infinity to power save mode gives me occasional stutter appearing home menu swipe or new application launch, which reminds me of my Galaxy 10.1 experience.
This is some of the oldest tricks to get some flame bait on the internet. I wouldn't expect to find a great conversation on this board on which is better. You are better off looking at the general board for this type of post.
I'd rather have the Transformer series of tablets. The keyboard and all of the features is brings makes the Infinity at the top of the mountain for android tablets.

Day before Mothers day and it was sold out at all the electronics stores near me ended up getting one at Wal-Mart 40 miles away. Its now my wife's tab while she's recovering from shoulder surgery as its the perfect size and does what she wants it to do. She loves it and said to put her iPad2 on eBay. I was dead set against getting another Asus product after the Prime but the 700 I have now is night and day different.

The galaxy tab 2 10.1 is worse than the TF300 which is sold for $399 for the 32 GB version, and now you can get it on amazon for $374, i think theonly thing the galaxy tab is better is the speaker, that's it
Here in Canada you can get a galaxy tab for free when you sign up with Telus...then you'll find them re-selling in kajiji and nobody buying....Id rather have Acer Iconia if i cant get Asus....Samsung phone's great but their tablet sucks....we'll see with the Note 10.1...this could be their flagship tablet....
I heard this from a friend and I want to make sure that this information is correct. Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 coming out soon? if so when and where can I find this info so I can read it for my self?
I also have the Original Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 (WiFi) and I am running 4.0.4 and I am wanting to know if and when 4.1.2 or Jelly Bean will be officially released for the Original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I do not want to root or download a Non Official rom to my tab.
I do not know about Galaxy Tab 3. But I do know that the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not included in the list of devices Samsung plan to update to Jelly Bean. So ICS 4.0.4 is the last update you are getting. If you want Jelly Bean, however, you will have to root your tab and install custom rom. I also use the original tab and in addition to ICS I also run 4.1.2 and the current Jelly Bean 4.2.2, both courtesy of an XDA Developer, Pershoot.

I have no inside information about a pending release of a Tab 3, or anything else for that matter, but I noticed something interesting at the AT&T store yesterday. They have a special going on right now if you buy a Samsung S3 phone for $199, (with a contract), you can also purchase a Tab 2 10.1, (with a SIM card) for an additional $199. Not a bad deal if you want a Tab 2. I am sure that the S3 will enjoy a big price cut as soon as the S4 hits the stores, however.
We all know that the S3 will soon be replaced by the S4 and retailers are probably looking for ways to clear out the existing inventory. The same might be going on with the Tab 2. This could be an indication that the Tab 3 is on the way as well. Time will tell.
almost a month later and still no news on a new 10' flagship tablet from Samsung. The same old news get recycled every now and then but nothing tangible.
Hopefully after the launch of the S4 we start hearing real "new" news about a octo core powered retina all sing all dance tablet that is available in the not too distant future
don't want to wait till x-mas ...

I was hoping to hear something similar by now, too... my guess (hope) was that details would start to slip out about a new uber-powered GTab and a possible release date when the S4 was ready - but the lack of noise makes me wonder if a Nexus 10 is in my near future instead. The 16 and 32GB versions are in stock... wait a couple more weeks for some news, or 2 days for a new toy from Google on my doorstep... decisions, decisions.
galaxy note = galaxy tab + stylus???
http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/29/4281278/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-announcement
Looks like they're basically just updating the look of the Tab 2 7" to match the Galaxy lineup hardware design. Almost identical specs to last year's model. And no mention of a 10" model.
I have the Tab 2 7" and don't want a much bigger device (although I could live with 8".) But I was at least hoping for a resolution bump. Hopefully the Nexus 7.7 rumors will pan out.
Is it me or are the specs for the Galaxy Tab 3 super underwhelming. Dual core 1.2 ghz? Thats what I have my 1st gen galaxy tab running at lol.
i bought an att samsung galaxy tab 10.1 sgh i497 yesterday and im dissapointed that it doesnt have built in phone and messaging, there is a mod on this forum for the older model which i forget the model number they listed but its 3g, the one i have is LTE , i hope someone develops a phone mod for this i really wanted it to be a phablet

well at least the Samsung galaxy tab 3 7 inch has been released and it is a little less wide than the tab 2. micro usb charger is nice and aluminum bumpers, other than that everything has already been said.
I am curious when developers will post their findings as I am not pleased with the stock rom. Wifi kicks out after being idle.
SM-T210R is the model number

Ok, I understand Samsung flooding the market with new devices everyday and of every size, but Im not sure I understand this..
Nearly Identical spec to tab plus and tab 2 7, should have called it the Tab 1.9, its such a step backwards.
http://goo.gl/fb/QBoEI
maybe they used up all their high-end processors, RAM and screens? so they made this out of scraps?
Probably still haven't got the earpiece volume right either
Are joking samsung? Just by changing the looks doesnt make it better than our TAB PLUS! Yeah im really proud of our tab.. same specs? plus have a better front camera.. they should have increased the ram and the resolution as well.. well.. thats tab 3 for you.. just like what we say about tab 2.. not because it has a higher number.. it will be better than the TaB PLUS.. PLUS still rules!

The gt plus didn't sell very well, eventhough it's a good tab.
Now Samsung tries to sell it again, with a different name, a different body, and two modifications.
The funniest is they may sell a lot of this "new" tab, because everything is a matter of marketing. Most people don't buy because of the specs but because of the color, the general aesthetics, and of course the advertising and the marketing around it.
So go for it Samsung, play with the people's braindeadness and take their money, they are all too willy to surrender it to you with a smile

+1 big words and ofc true
The Plus didn't sell well because of the cost. The 3 probably will just because it will be priced at about what the Tab 2 was priced at, but man, that thing is hideous.
I may be wrong but I'd say it's not a very good sign for JB on our device.
Remember last year when we were all awaiting ICS? They released the tab 2 that had ICS out of the box and left us to wait, maybe hoping that some of us would have bought their shiny tab 2.
See what I mean? Seems like with this tab 3 running JB out of the box we're facing what the historians call a recurrent phenomenon in history:cyclops:
I hope I will be proven wrong though, I'm tired of ICS...

I wonder how much the 3/4g and phone capable versions will run. I'm sure most of them will still be quad band...
Did i just watched a galaxy tab plus review?

GalaxyTab 7.0 Plus is still the best Samsung 7 inch tablet. No other samsung 7.0 inch tablet can beat our benchmark score

lucky you!
Your one lucky guy to be able to experience my next dream phone! Hope you can update us further on your day to day usage with regards to camera quality if there are any issues, also is the screen experiencing black clippings when playing movies with a lot of dark shots like Harry Potter, etc... :good:
Hey kababayan! I've been following your techpinas updates. Any news on the pricing and release dates here in the philippines? Thanks!

How's responsiveness?
Preparing to replace my Note with either this or the Z1.
Just wondering:
1.) How is lag and hangs on the Note3? Did any show up while you are using it? Preferably while you are doing the benchmark or under heavy load.
2.) How about accuracy of the screen? The note is off by a few pixels how about this? I think this was well documented problem on the note, I'll describe it if you are not familiar with it.
3.) Touch responsiveness? The note is slow on the lockscreen when you have pin lock. Try something like 160425 as your pin (no that is not my pin, I just randomly chose a 6 digit that can take advantage of both thumbs so you can press them very fast one after the other with preferably 1-2ms lag between each press), then press them 1 after the other very fast preferably on 2handed use. A lot of the times 1 of them won't register or will register wrong for the Note1. How about the Note3?
I'm a bit of a power user and the lag on the Note is annoying and is still laggy even after being rooted and flashed with slim bean. Just wanted to hear your take on the note3. As this might be the tie breaker for me.
I'm very disappointed with the Note (I wanted to throw it away after 6months of use but is under a 2yrs contract so... yeah) Mostly with TW and the screen, I even have ghost presses on the screen (luckily it was replaced while in warranty). So kinda want to stay away from sammy this round but between the Note3 and the Z1, the Note3 has the advantage of 3gb ram and 32gb storage (I'm on smart and I'm sure they will only have this version) on the hardware side and sammy usually have the bootloader unlocked, I expect this one to be the same while the Z1 will have it locked and I will lose a lot of the built-in features for unlocking it. But the lag on my Note is a big downer for getting another sammy that I'm willing to fore go the advantage of sammy for sony.
Thanks =)

Most probably your correct on the estimated launch price as Samsung will be selling the 32gb variant unlike before where they launch the 16gb for note2. Personally, I really prefer the 32gb and I'm very happy that Samsung decided to scrap the 16gb variant for note 3. Please update us on any new details with regards to launch date, venue and most especially the reservation of units.. Thanks and more power to you! :fingers-crossed:

1. with the new proc i found it snappier than the stock tw from the s4 variant. i dont usually benchmark tests since they are not that reliable but if there's one i use 3dmark (scores excellent almost above the Sony z1 line)
2. the accuracy of the screen has vastly improved from both the note 1 and 2 (which both i also own)...the pen is precise and pin point
3. touch response is excellent and the whole screen now even those at the sides of the bezel can be touched controlled as well...
i have almost all the galaxy lines of samsung and the note 3 delivers even on stock...what more if you can mod it, too much potential

Thanks for the reply Jermitano. I'll be looking at this and see which one Smart offers for my plan. But the note3 looks really good right now.
Just wondering if the bootloader is locked on your device?

no resources yet for that as my device is a pre production unit and the source is probably not yet out...but knowing samsung, its definitely open...unless theyve changed their minds just for the note
