[Q] Nexus 7 or Samsung Galaxy Tab2 P3110?

Hey XDA!
I wish this month, no later than December 1 (ie 30 November) to buy me a tablet.
The principal went on tablets that are good in terms of quality / price, and I found only two .. which is 7.0 P3110 Samsung Galaxy tab2 and Nexus 7.
For me, a tablet is a portable device that I can play (mostly).
Budget tablets can be inferred from the two mentioned above (about 250 euros).
I took them for quality you can give me. How do I know assume that you know the differences between the two .. now put the question on a specialized website for that! So not only can I say that Nexus 7 has no SD card slot, and Samsung's camera is on back.
I want to make a good choice, both liking much, but I want something that will last in time .. ie I do not have 1-2 years to buy anything just seeing them go to my friend's new phone games, per tablet .. and I do not even support something like this (I say) to have lag!
On Nexus 7 does not believe a experiencing any lag time soon, but do not know what to say about Galaxy tab2.
Therefore I want to know the following from you:
What do you think tablet should I buy?
What say you like it better? What is the best of both screen and you believe not experiencing lag in at least 1-2 years?
Samsung tab2 deserves just because he has slod SD and back room, or go on Nexus 7 because it has quad-core and Tegra 3?
Thanks in advance and excuse my English!

Which tablet??
I would personally go with the Nexus 7 because of stock JB and I just like the design more. I know it lacks things like a SD slot and back camera but I don't take pictures with a tablet anyways. Its totally up to you, but I hear a 32GB model of Nexus7 will be released soon, and its still in a great price point. Im sure you'll be happy with whatever you choose.

I dont' want to make pictures with a tablet, i have an samsung camera
But you don't know when you need them. Possible to have the tablet and you don't have any camera with you..
My question is: while the chipset will last more games market (ie not wake up as my galaxy tab2 not say go GTA 5) and the nexus YES!
Still all to nexus 7 .. but I want a bow and parry from you and ultimately will really test them.
32GB version I do not care, I know you can solve many problems with USB OTG!

[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 or Nexus 7

Hello XDA,
I am having a hard time deciding between this Tablet and the Nexus 7. what are your thoughts. How do you like this device? Thanks All in advance.

Already got my Tab 2 on CM10 so the Nexus 7 16gb is not that tempting as a purchase! But if I was in the market to replace, would go for the Nexus 7! But would hold off as word is that the 16gb is being replaced by a 32gb model for the same price! Like the Nexus range! Pure Google! Pure Android! No waiting a year for updates! Looking forward to upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to the new LG Nexus 4! My tab will follow suite if the 32gb rumours are true!

I chose the GTab2 7.0 because I insisted on an external microSD card and wanted the back mounted camera. But the Nexus 7 is, by most accounts, faster with higher resolution and has plain Jelly Bean. All depends on what is important to you. I went to some stores and tried them. I'm happy with what I got.

Not to mention the ability to slip in a 3G sim card and use the GTab2 7.0 (P3100) as a cell phone! That was the deciding factor for me...

I chose the Tab 2 7.0 due to 3G and rear camera. "Pure Google" is less important for me, as the Tab 2 is proving popular enough to have CM10 and AOKP support. (I use AOKP.) My Tab 2 is also my first Android device, so when I get to know Android better, maybe I would go for something higher end or an Android phone. (I got a ThinkPad Tablet after I got the Tab 2, but I'm not sure how good it is since I got it for free, and all I did was power it up and upgrade it from 3.1 to 4.0.3.)
I also bought a 32GB MicroSD card to put in my Tab, but it's still in the packaging since I don't really do a lot of video watching or anything that needs so much memory. :silly:

tab2 7.0
just got tab2 and its far more useful in daily usage than nexus7. that camera and samsung appls makes a huge difference.

Reason #1: N7 isnt available in my country (IN)
But I could buy online for 16-17k INR, instead I got tab 2 for 19.2
Reason #2: 3G!
Makes all the difference in the world.

Galaxy Tab or nexus 7

So I'm in the market for a tablet. So my question is, is there any problems with the tab? I like the Galaxy because of the sd card slot. But I also want the nexus because of the dev support and updates

Care to tell me about this week support on updates? We have 3-4 updates since May when the tablet was released, averaging one every month or two. I'd say that's pretty good personally. Maybe you're complaining that there is no Jelly Bean yet, but I'm not sure why since they just started pushing it out to phones, which are a much bigger money maker, in the past two weeks. We also know that the GTab 2 will be getting Jelly Bean as it was on the update list released by Samsung, and there have been leaks for every one of the GTab 2 models so far. You want to compare updates, the Nexus 7 has only had 2 updates since July, so they've gotten updates in the same time frame as this tablet, one every month or two. But yeah, Samsung hasn't been providing any updates...
IMO, the question really comes down to, do you want fixed storage and only access to AOSP ROMs, or do you want expandable storage and AOSP and TouchWiz ROMs? The developer pool may be larger on the Nexus 7, but you only have AOSP ROMs, and the popular ones are all on the Galaxy Tab 2 now anyway, and if you really wanted, porting them isn't all that difficult either. You also have access to TouchWiz ROMs if you get the Galaxy Tab 2, something you won't have on the Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 has fixed storage, with the option for USB OTG if you load a custom kernel, but that is the best you get for expandable storage. The Galaxy Tab 2 has fixed internal, but also supports microSD cards and USB OTG, so you don't need a dongle to expand built in storage.

Gtab has camera and SD slot while nexus doesn't.
Gtab is the way I'd go. I'm happy with mine and wouldn't trade it for an n7.

Nexus 7 have 1 camera..
Sent from my GT-P3110 using XDA Premium HD app

go for galaxy tab! you can swap external with internal sd, play gameloft games as well..and 2 cameras.. it is also capable of overclocking

I chose the tab 10.1 over the Nexus 7 for the following reasons
Expandavle storage
larger screen
I use my tablet for content creation, would have gone with the note, but my budget wouldn't stretch. I rarely play games, rarely watch videos, by far the ability to create was the deciding factor for me and the Nexus 7 just didn't cut it.

Samsung Galaxy S3 or LG Nexus 4 - Need some advice

Hello XDA,
My name is Robert Oortwijn and I currently have a Samsung Star. So I want to get a new phone and am deciding between the S3 or Nexus 4, nothing else. I have enough money to buy one of the two
So for the last month I have been looking, searching, watching stuff regarding the S3 and Nexus 4. From comparisons to single reviews.
What I want really is to have a good phone. It will be my first Android phone and smartphone.
My closest friend got the Galaxy S3 Pebble Blue and I really like the big screen and color. What I also like is the ability to have the battery removed and extend storage. Then again I also really like the Nexus 4 for getting the latest updates and being stock Android.
Sadly my concern is this. The glass back which from my impressions breaks really fast. A 1m drop or just ticking your phone against a table will crack it. Secondly is the bit smaller size of the screen. The Nexus 4 has a 4,7 inch compared to the S3 4,8 inch. It becomes even less because of the on-screen based buttons. This trough isn't a issue. I like on-screen and S3 style buttons.
What I just can't is making a decisions. Both are amazing phones where the one has something I like and the other doesn't and vice versa.
I would like to ask XDA to give some opinions and reasons why I should pick one of these two phones.
While 16GB is in my opinion enough for apps, maybe 3 games and music? I have like 4GB of music on my PC, I do like the extra storage but then again the N4 offers stock android and such.
I hope XDA will be the one able to help me. I tried many forums but only got one responds and those weren't really helpful.
Greetings :laugh:,
Robert Oortwijn

Nexus 4

Sounds like you've already given a lot of thought about which phone you want to choose or select and you've already researched the options that each phone has. But it comes down to what's important to you. If expandable storage and removable battery is important to you or if you think you can live without it. I personally don't own either device but I know you'll get die hard fans on both sides saying that their phone is the best and why. But in the end it's really your opinion that matters because you'll be the one who has to live with the phone. I am trying to make the decision myself as to which one I would choose and I go back and forth.
Personally if you're thinking of the S4, I would opt for the NOTE II instead. I haven't heard any legitimate complaints about it. And even some people who own the N4 or S3 are trying to sell their phone and get one. Plus it has a 5.5" display!
But it really does come down to what you think is important. I too have music that I think is so important to transfer onto my storage on my phone but Google music player can sync your music on your PC to your phone. And I use spotify more than than the copied music on my phone. With spotify, @ $10 a month, you have unlimited access to virtually any artist or album out there. Albums are available on spotify the same day the CDs are released. Plus you can download playlists to your phone over wifi that you can listen to without using data.
Hope this helps.

Personally I would go for the Nexus 4. Stock Android is important for someone like me who makes little apps.

I have a Galaxy S3 and a good friend with the Nexus 4. My questions for you are these:
- Do you plan to use the stock OS or are you going to be using custom roms?
Despite being a little behind (and not as far behind as some phones/manufacturers) the latest Google release, Samsung's version of Jelly Bean is very nice and not wildly different. Though, for more options and control, I recently got into using custom roms. If you're going to go that route, the sd card slot is a fantastic way to save music, videos, documents, backups, and more. Also, the ability to put custom rom install zips on your external sd card means you can run a superwipe during rom installs that support it.
- Are you going to be using a phone upgrade option on your plan or signing an all new contract with your carrier?
You usually only get the contract renewal/upgrade discount every couple of years, so if you're going that route and want the Galaxy S3, I advise you wait until the GS4 comes out (if you're in the US, that's in a few weeks to a month or so depending on carrier - Verizon still hasn't said when theirs will be available, but the others are saying this month they will be taking orders). No point using your discount options on a year old phone when the new one is almost here.
- Do you want to make use of the usb host functionality (usb "on-the-go" as it's sometimes called in the marketing materials) available on many newer phones and tablets?
This allows your phone to host usb devices like thumb drives, keyboards, mouses... almost anything. All you need is a cheap adapter to go from your micro usb port to a standard female usb port (I got mine for about $5). If you want this functionality, it doesn't work on the Nexus 4 despite Google's plan to include it. LG messed it up and it doesn't work properly (a hardware problem from what I've heard). On the GS3, it works like a charm, so I always have a 32GB thumb drive in my pocket with extra videos, music, and backup data. Presumably, this will also be a feature of the Nexus 4.
If having the latest Google release of really matter to you, then go for the Nexus 4, but I think that's really it's only selling point. I know I sound like a Samsung fanboy, but it definitely is a more flexible piece of hardware. So the trade off, in my opinion, is latest Google version of Android vs. significantly more flexible hardware. Though I say wait for the Galaxy S4 anyway.

How the phone looks and your preference of buttons, screen size etc. is up to you i guess.
For the GS3 the international model is hampered by Samsungs own Exynos processor and that being much harder to develop for than the Qualcomm in the US version. For instance Cyanogenmod 10.1 on the i9300 has no stable builds because of development problems.
In fact the current i9300 developers have said they will not be supporting the international GS4 as it will be such a pain.
If you are in the US then you are fine for Cyanogenmod at least, and probably most other custom ROMs.

nexus 4 is better in us.

What this user just posted. Plus a little extra:
-Are you going to be using LTE or 3G?
The Nexus 4 does NOT support LTE, and could therefore be a deal breaker for you if you plan on using the latest speeds.
-Are you buying your device or getting a contract?
May sound like a stupid question, but the Nexus 4 comes pre-unlocked if purchased from the Play Store and could be considered "cheaper" too. But then again, you did mention price wasn't an issue. Although if you plan on switching carriers at any time and free yourself from having a contract, then the Nexus 4 does offer an unlocked device. (Unlocking the S3 would require someone with the know-how and will probably cost you a couple bucks + it is now illegal in the US).
-How willing are you to wait for the next device?
With the S4 right around the corner and the Nexus 5 leaked images and report of a release date around October 2013, do you think you can live with your current device until the next upgrade? If the answer is yes, do so!
Good luck in your next purchase, and I believe both phones will make you happy!

I live in the Netherlands. We don't have LTE (yet) but I do know that HSPA+ is fast enough for me so LTE isn't a big problem compared to US citizens.
I'm going to get the device with a contract. 100 calls or sms with 500 mb for 20 euros for the coming 24 months.
Regarding Stock Android or ROMS I don't know. Seeing it has Stock Android I might just stick with that.
I'm not a developer either. Just a teen who want to get his first Android/Smart-phone hehe

[Q] Possible 64GB storage option?

Currently I own an HTC One with 64GB of storage. Bought it back in April the first day it came to the U.S and its the first android phone I've ever owned. Loving it but, The nexus 5 has been very interesting to me. I like the idea of stock UI, quick updates, near perfect optimization of hardware. The problem is if there isn't a 64GB storage option, selling my One and buying the nexus 5 won't be able to happen. Many people tell me to move my ever expanding library of music (currently 25gb) to the cloud, but with 2gb of data and how often I listen to music using google play music to stream my music just isn't possible. So is there any recent rumors, or possibly any type of speculation someone could make that might point to there being a 64gb version? Trying not to get my hopes up because most likely, the highest possible storage will be 32 like last year but still, a small sliver of hope isn't bad right?
TL;DR Will the nexus 5 possibly have a 64gb storage option?

I think this is very unlikely, as
- the 16GB version is practically confirmed,
- there were always 2 storage options for Nexus devices (+ possibly 3G/LTE tablet variant), and
- the 2nd storage option was always twice as big as the 1st (afaik).

Well the Nexus 4 did ahve a 8gb version as well. Making it 3. Though that was quite some time after the initial release. The 32gb version is practically confirmed as well because of the leaked manual. So either I'm thinking an 8gb version will be coming out or a 64gb version. Most likely the former, rather than the latter though if it follows the nexus 4. :/ Really hoping a miracle happens though and a 64gb version appears.

Nexus 4 was available with 8GB and with 16GB. That's 2 storage options by my calculations.
I really doubt Google will release a device with 3 storage options. I think only 16GB and 32GB will be released.

Ah yes I was considering this, I should probably ask someone with personal experience but how well would that work? Would my music application of choice immediately recognize the music? How much time would it take to recognize the music? If it works well I won't completely rule out the nexus 5. It would definitely mess up my way of syncing. I use bittorent sync to wirelessly sync music from a folder on my PC to a folder on my HTC One. Not being able to do that isnt a deal breaker but I want to make sure that selling my One for a nexus 5 won't be a regret.

Currently I own an HTC One with 64GB of storage. Bought it back in April the first day it came to the U.S and its the first android phone I've ever owned. Loving it but, The nexus 5 has been very interesting to me. I like the idea of stock UI, quick updates, near perfect optimization of hardware. The problem is if there isn't a 64GB storage option, selling my One and buying the nexus 5 won't be able to happen. Many people tell me to move my ever expanding library of music (currently 25gb) to the cloud, but with 2gb of data and how often I listen to music using google play music to stream my music just isn't possible. So is there any recent rumors, or possibly any type of speculation someone could make that might point to there being a 64gb version? Trying not to get my hopes up because most likely, the highest possible storage will be 32 like last year but still, a small sliver of hope isn't bad right?
TL;DR Will the nexus 5 possibly have a 64gb storage option?

On the music issue I understand you dont want to use your data but have you considered streaming your own music on wifi or loading up a playlist the night before and then taking it with you? I do that with Subsonic server (free) and Dsub client, 2$ but worth much more imho. You do have to have your tunes on a computer connected to the net while you stream or load but I love this setup so much i ditched my ipod and doubletwist. I have a days worth of tunes I chose the night before or just a jukebox shuffle of whatever. Takes about 5 mins to load after i have selected whatever i want, goto bed and good to go the next day. You can choose how much you want to cache and Dsub uses only that but you get a fresh supply everyday. Sheesh, i sound like a shill but im not. just really like Subsonic

When it comes to it I might hit you up and see if I can get this working. Only thing is I hate taking the time out of my day to have to load music on my device and all that. I might be able to get used to it though. Worth a try when I get my nexus 5.

You can do the same with Google play music. Upload everything from your PC to the cloud, when you are under wifi open the app and select what to keep offline... If you have wifi coverage you can change the whole offline library multiple times a day if you like...

Glad to help if you need, Destructions are prettly clear, if you can root and rom a phone you can sure stream subsonic :fingers-crossed:
really it takes only 5 minutes for me to setup and then load whatever im going to listen to the next day then i goto sleep.Music is there in the mornin.
Yes google play is an option but why up your entire collection then stream when you can just stream it yourself? its redundant i think,
2,306 artists
7,293 albums
85,490 songs
979.08 GB
6,679 hours
not bragging but im not putting all that in the cloud and it sounds like xXxG0dzRAgexXx has a serious collection too so play is not really an efficient option for most ppl. I also think that if ppl knew they could stream themselves easily, Play would BE redundant .
It is nice to have choices tho
