Dears,
I'm planning to buy a tablet soon, and i'm ready into the galaxy note 10.1, especially that it comes with a pen.
Should I get it or wait for something new by the end of the year or 2013??
Thanks
if u r not considering a wp8 tablet, just get the note. you would never regret
I think you should wait for Ramos W30 until the end of Oct.
Twice cheaper and better hardware
Over had my Note 10.1 for a few weeks now and love it. You won't regret your purchase.

Best tablet out there!

Best feature rich and all around best tablet on the market. Prior to the Galaxy Note 10.1 I felt tablets were limited overpriced consumption only devices and not worth buying.

l used most tablets and this is the best tablet to date.
Also i guess windows 8 tablets will not support flash player.
I am writng this reply completely with s pen and it is easy as writing on pen and paper.
Please be sure it is the best tab out there I know there is speculation of Nexus 10 coming out but I am sure Samsung will make sure that there is something missing in it compared to note10.1 to make sure it does not compete with it

Why do You think so ?
It´s got an Exynos from Samsung but only 1GB RAM and no Pen. Simply from the tech specs the Note 10.1 is unbeaten.

Can not see why the Ramos W30 is better than the Note 10.1, the ramos has only 1gb of RAM while the Note has 2gb and the Spen, after trading my Tegra based transformer with 1gb of RAM to the Note I can tell you that there is a huge difference.
I could not find anything that makes the Ramos superior to the Note.
I myself had the same dilemma a few weeks ago but after I realized the win 8 RT Tabs will not have real multitasking and taking in consideration that all win8 tabs will be first generation devices I have decided on the Note and I can honestly say that the last time I enjoyed a new device like the Note was the first Iphone when comparing to HTC Diamond back then means a lot.

I base this information about widely spread specifications that Ramos will be available in two versions 1GB and 2GB RAM built in. I mean Ramos W30 in spite of the fact the are a lot of Ramos models to be released.
There will be also IPS screen and 15% bigger battery.
Im not an advertiser, Ive just been looking for sth cheparer or better than Note but only Note has s pen and lot of features. Im ordering this device today or tomorrow

First of all congratulations you will enjoy it, secondly regrading "cheaper or better" cheaper defiantly better? you find one please share.
I love my Note and especially the S pen, quite a sophisticated piece of equipment. This tablet is so versatile that everyday you find new uses for it and all its features. Kudos to Samsung for creating this beast of a tablet

These are the specs of a few of the upcoming Ramos tablets as you can see most are pretty similar all under 300$ shipped from china I already have a standard w30 on the way for my sister and will be waiting for the w30hd for my self . The w31 is interesting as well. I think these are pretty nice tablets that are out by the end of this year. Right now only thing they are shipping is the standard w30 while the others will be end of this year or end of january. If you can wait the aussiepad2 looks very very interesting

Touch wiz would be illegal for a manufacture to install and then sell that product but there is no reason why you cannot install touch wiz your self. But I will probably just stick MIUI on it when I get mine.Hard for a developer community to pop up with only two weeks after sales of w30 while the others are not released until December 2012.
I don't get why you would compare the Ramos if it has no wacom digitizer stylus? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this tablet? I mean, the high price for a resolution like this is only justified due to the stylus..
Hi! As you may have heard, Jiayu is joining the Chinese bandwagon and they will soon release their own iPhone 5-style mobile named Jiayu G5. It is rumored to have 4.5-inch HD (1280 x 720p) IPS screen (probably OGS and Gorilla Glass 2), quad core MT6589 1.2GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM, 13MP rear and 3MP front cameras, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It would probably be dual SIM too! Take a look at the full specifications here: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/jiayu-g5
If these specs are indeed true, then Jiayu G5 would be the best iPhone 5-based Chinese phone today in my opinion, though it is slightly bigger. There is no exact date of release yet but many are anticipating its launch. What do you think of Jiayu G5?
I have this phone. Great phone with metal body (actualy stainless steel). Just correcting your write about OS version, this phone using Jelly Bean 4.2.1, and clock speed of CPU is 1.5GHz.

The newer version of the phone is named Jiayu G5S and it has upgraded specs like Octa-core MT6592 1.7GHz CPU, 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. More specs here: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/jiayu-g5s
Anyone know if this phone is still being sold somewhere for a decent price? This is exactly what I'm looking for for my gf...
It seems like the G5 and G5S are both totally out of stock, or the prices are sky-high..

i do have the old version : 2013CP8320
I think i undestand why i can't unbrick this phone, The G5 do have an MT6589 and Smart Phone flash tool is asking my to load an MT6592 emmc scatter.
the problem is that i can't not use emmc for the MT6589.
i do have this error :
Chip type not match!
target chip is MT6592
load scatter chip type is MT6589.
Any idea to fix or change The target chip ?
Hey All
I think its high time we pay some serious heed to the Asian Sleeping Dragon(s) who have just recently awaken over the past few years.
Below are the current Flagship models of some companies which I have chosen. I am not able to post the full specs links here, but you can google it easily.

3GB Ram
32GB
Approximate price ~ CNY3.498 +
2. Xiaomi Mi4 5.0" 4G/LTE
Quad Core - Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 2.5Ghz Krait 400
Adreno 330
3GB Ram
32GB
Approximate Price ~ CNY1999+
3. Meizu MX4 (It will be officially annouced on 2nd Sept 2014, hence current specs are not confirmed)
Samsung's octa-core Exynos 5433 SoC
No information on GPU
3GB Ram
Range of internal memory probably starting from 16GB
Estimated Price Tag ~ CNY2,499 +
4. Nubia (ZTE) Z7 5.5" 4G/LTE
Quad Core - Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 2.5Ghz Krait 400

Mali-450MP4
2GB Ram
16GB

Based on the pass few weeks in China, I had personal hands on for the ZTE Z7, Huawei Ascend P7 and Oppo Find 7. All the 7s
The one that actually felt best on my hands (I am 6 feet) was the ZTE 7 and its lesser brother the Z7 max.
I did not have the opportunity to try the Xiaomi Mi4 as it was no where to be seen even after it launched (sold out the minute it released I suppose).
I can only hope that the design was not as bad as the Mi3. For me it looked like the giant version of one of the Ipod nanos a while back
Neither did I have the chance to check out the Meizu MX4 as it was not out yet.
The Xiaomi Mi4 currently ranks as the most value to cost effective phones we have yet seen, given its impressive specs and better looking design on photos (at least way better than the Mi3)
For me I would take the ZTE and Xiaomi anytime based on their similar designs, however I have yet to see the official pictures for the Meizu MX4 (not to be confused with the 4-core model)
In the meantime I am happy with my ZTE Z7 max which cost me CNY1999, lesser screen quality (not 2k resolution, but still 1080p 5.5") and ram (2GB vs Z7 3GB) than the Z7 but everything else is the same.
So choose your poison.
I would take the Xiaomi Mi4 because of MIUI v6 and defenitly more development than the other chinese mentioned phones.
November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
