Hey all...
I'm actually using a Galaxy Note 4 in my private time... Now I'm looking for an atleast 7" Tablet (Phablet, what ever) for working business... As I'm not up to date what devices are on the market right now i thought i could ask for help here. I thought about something like the Sony Xperia Z Ultra if i remember right...
The device should at least meet the following speccs:
LTE
~7" Screen
1.5+gb ram
root has to be possible
Android 5+
U got to use it as a phone without using a headset (yeah i know it might look funny to hold an 7" tablet on ur ears )
As for the hardware speccs anything like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T715 LTE would be nice. But this 8" seems to be a bit unhandy.
I appologize for my bad english and hope for some nice ideas on what to buy
Thnx in advance

Hello.
I'm about to buy a new smartphone (im running Galaxy Spica right now), and I dont know what to buy..
I have a choice to buy Nexus S or Galaxy S + and I dont know which one is better for me. I am a student of computer science, and certainly I will be able to write software for Android. But I would like to record 720p videos..
Also, I found that on Nexus ICS have many problems right now..
Is there any chance for ICS on Galaxy S+?
Or maybe I should buy something else? My phone should be fast, have big screen (cuz I need to read pdf on this) also games should works fine.
I have about 250 euros.
Thanks for help
Hi

Going to buy a new phone but cant decide.
I hate big screens and stuffs like that so my decision is down to :

On this forum they spoke very good of Xperia U vs Ace2.
Anyway, the list of question is long :-D
1 ) A friend of mine told me that every phone that isnt from google sucks cause of lack of fast support and upgrades of android that takes months while google its out asap.
Those 2 phones are okay ?
2 ) What u would suggest between xperia U and Galaxy S Advance, and reasons. Its worth 140 euro more cost the Galaxy S Advance ?
3 ) Both can be upgrade easily to Android 4.0 or I need to be skilled in that ?
4 ) About hacking stuffs etc those phones are good and supported by comunity ? Cause cant find any forum for them and makes me scared
thanks a lot for your time, i hope to be an active part of this comunity soon

Galaxy S Advance over Xperia U:
• 768 MB RAM
• Slimmer
• Support SD card
• 4" TFT Super AMOLED
• Bluetooth v3.0
• Gorilla Glass display
Xperia U over Galaxy S Advance:
• Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine
• Sony 3D surround sound audio technology
• USB On-the-go support
Better Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
thanks a lot for the reply, but those points I got them also from reviews online.
I'm more interested in other questions .

1. I think those 2 phone are okay.
2. Sony planned upgrade to v4.0 for Xperia U. No info about Galaxy S Advance, but you should wait for custom ROM.
3. I think Galaxy S Advance will soon supported by comunity. Not sure about Xperia U.
ouch so if I buy it tomorrow I have a phone with gingerbread still on , till a future upgrade -.-
Take a look at xperia Sola and P too. Those are similar in price to Advance (I'm not sure, we don't have Advance in market yet) and are better spec-wise than Xperia U. And none of them are huge, Xperia P is 4" like Advance, more RAM, better camera but worse display (I think, Advance is Super AMOLED while P is TFT, but I'm not sure how noticeable it actually is in person. Some people say P is actually better.), Advance has better replaceable battery and SD card slot.
I have no idea how the support from moders will look. I'm thinking about Advance too, but it's not top of the line phone, merely an upgrade to Galaxy S and as such it might not get any custom ROMs whatsoever. Or it might.
well i gone to the mall and saw they havent xperia U but advanced galaxy S its at 339 while Samsung nexus galaxy its at 399
I think gonna take the nexus then, seems so much better
Yes, for this price, you should get the nexus i guess.
2 Basic Choices are the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
What I like with the SG Note 2 is it's portability. However with the SG Note 10.1, I can do video editing, note taking, and a lot more easier and it's pre-loaded with Photoshop which I think I can begin with as someone without any knowledge in photoshop (or can't I?).
Not to mention that the SG Note 10.1 has an accessory called BT S Pen, which I think will solve my problem of carrying a large phablet. Any smart ideas on how to carry the BT S Pen?
For my course, I am yet to shift to any of the 3: Game Design and Development (an IT course), Animation, or Digital FilmMaking
Also, I also consider taking a multimedia course since I want to be a concpet artist in a game company but since it's multimedia, I might not like some medias there O.O
The reason why I have those 3 is that I love to tell stories though I don't think I'm that good when it comes to writing O.O
Whenever I watch animes and or movies, I always have that feeling of making me want to do one. Specially animes. But I like games too. In short, I also need a course advise. I am an artistic type of person too
Bottomline is that I want to be a concept artist and or tell my stories through anime or movie.
So anyone there ready to help me?
Also, can you recommend an up-to-date laptop that will best match your course choice for me? (particularly Samsung - yeah, I'm a Samsung fan now xD)
**I have posted threads like this in different forums and not even one answered. So I'm really hoping someone will answer and help me the best they can. More importantly, I will eternally appreciate any response here. Thank you**
If you want to see my answer to my question, continue reading
I think I would pick SG Note 10.1 since my problem is solved with the BT S Pen.
I think I would go Game Development or Animation since I can make concept arts when I pick one of them. But I still need to hear from you -.-
If you get a good laptop then you won't need all those apps on your phablet,right?In which case,I'd go with the galaxy note 2.If you would still need them,then you would get the galaxy note 10.1,in which case there would be very little use of your laptop,right?Think about that.I would personally get a good laptop and the note 2,then I'd get the best of both worlds.But that's just me,comes down to your choice,really...I really don't know about your course,though.

Thanks for the fast reply sir.
My reason for going a phablet and a laptop is for portability. The laptop will serve as a workstation and the phablet will be for presentation purposes and a little bit of finalizing. At first I had a problem when I thought there would be no other way to answer calls since the SG Note 10.1 is large. Later did I know there's the BT S Pen which will make calls easier to answer. Not to mention, with a style xD. Honestly, I was inspired by Asus PadFone.
About the course, don't worry because I'm sure and hoping someone will say their opinions.
Thanks again...
Hello all,
As my old Xperia X8 curently rests in peace I have the chance to buy a new smartphone device. The thing is that as a college freshman my budget is as low as it gets, so the purpose of this post is that you guys, the elite of the net when it comes to smartphones, could help me choose wisely.
My goal is to find a smartphone that I can find here in my homeland (Greece to be particular) or could order from abroad, that wouldn't cost more that 130-145 € (shipping included or low enough if possible).
What I'm looking for mainly is a fast processor with good ram capacity that whouldn't let me down at multitasking, web browsing, app executing etc.To be percise, what I'm looking for is the best and fastest processor/ram combination I can find within that budget.
From there on, my preferences focus on the camera,wifi capabilities (speed and range), screen size and looks/styling with that particular order.
My manufactor preferences are Samsung and Sony of course. But if any other mobile manufactor has what I'm looking for I would be glad to take a look.
I myself have made a small research on possible devices I could buy. Unfortunately I am not a phone specialist.I'm far from it, (although I would like to get there one day hopefully) so these are some devices I came up with during a quick search at a greek online store:
http://www.skroutz.gr/c/40/kinhta-t....html?order_dir=asc&price_max=150&price_min=0
If you cannot open the link for some reason, or if you just don't wanna, the devices are:
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
Sony Xperia M
Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 (S7582)
Samsung Galaxy Core I8260
Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus 3G
All of the above are within my budget.I lean towards xperia m because from reviews i found online it seems to have the best cpu performance from those 5, it's the only xperia sooo and because I never owned a samsung before so i don't know how it would feel yet.
So please guys if you can, suggest me the best option from these 5 or a better one that you can come up with that follows those requirements I listed above.Your help is really important to me and I would be really greatful to you if you had time to devote to my silly requests.

You should definitely go for Motorola Moto G because it comes with Kitkat out of the box and Specs are truly awesome, Camera is pretty good too.. on the other hand HTC desire x is a pretty out dated phone , and 601 may be a nice choice but Moto G offers more in Less price ..
Lenovo!!!!
Quad-core power
there more buying sites .. Like antealife inthebox and and and ..
This is no advertisment! Andthere also other lenovo phons with great spec. And good price.

I've been a big Samsung Fan, but somehow it has changed in the last few months. I'd take the Sony, it looks better and is not a "everybody has got it- samsung"

honestly the moto g is my no1 preference but as i told you i couldn't find it cheaper than 195 euros.I found it on sites abroad but the shipping and taxes would raise the price to the same level. If anyone could advise me on how to obtain it in a cheaper price like the US and India ones that would be awesome!!!!

it's like you're asking me to spend my money for half a year of use, maximum! I'm a poor student, not a naive Richy McRich!
I personally don't think Xperia is worth it's price. It has a lot of issues with it's software from my and other people I know's experience. So... I'd recommend anything else but the Sony Xperia brand.
Based on your list, I would chose the xperia m !
There are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!
(Hi Justmpm)
Hello there guys and thank you all in advance for your dedication and your help.! I want to buy a Tablet pretty soon and i am amongst 2 of Samsung's Tab 4 T533 or Tab A T550. I need a Tablet which can be rooted for sure cause i'll need to install X Mod to this Tablet. So i think i saw that Tab A is already rootable (not sure though). From the other hand i think that Tab 4 is certainly better.. So you know anything about when Tab 4 will be rootable? Or should i just go for Tab A which is already rootable (i think).. Thanks for your time again guys and really hope to get an answer from you soon.
