Hi everyone. As the heading states, I am planning to buy the GTab 7 Plus in India for my dad. Now, here is my concern:
In India, the same tab is marketed as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 620. It still has the 1.2 GHz Exynos Processor, 1024X600 resolution screen & includes Voice calling features. I have searched all over the net & couldn't find if there are any differences compared to the GTab 7 Plus which is available internationally. So, in this case, is it only the change in name for marketing purposes or is there some other variation also? Basically, I want to understand if I can use all the ROMs available here on XDA with the tab available in India?
If anyone has any info on this I would really appreciate it. Thanks in Advance!

But I thought the tab was for your dad? Kidding...
Take a look in the development subforum just to be sure but as far as I know there are no custom ROMs for the Plus yet.
Hi im from Philippines. My advice is do not buy Galaxy Tab 7 plus... why? Because Gtab 7 plus is not super amoled. You just wait for Gtab 7.7 that is a amoled LCD...

I already bought GTab 7 plus for my mom. I pissed off when i read about the specs and it is not amoled LCD.

Yes, I am fully aware that it is not super amoled. The point is that my dad is getting a limited time offer from his workplace for a 60% discount on any phone purchase. But since he already has a phone which he is content with, he wanted a tablet to use as an ereader. This is the only well speced tab which has phone calling capabilites & is available for purchase here at the moment.
Anyways, I have gone ahead with the purchase & dad is happy with the device. Thanks for all your inputs.
Guys, I don't know about price for Tab 7.7 in your country, but in Russia I got my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus for $468 and price for 7.7 starting at $780. So I don't want pay twice more for super amoled screen and 0.2ghz difference
I am also looking to buy a galaxy tab 7 plus and am undecided which version to buy. I live in the united states and I could just get the p6210 wifi only version, but I am not sure if I will need 3g. I don't want to buy the wifi only then find myself often wanting to use the wireless features when I have no wifi. From my understanding i can use the GPS no matter which version I have so that's at least a plus no matter which way I go.
If I end up buying a 3g version which would people recommend the international unlocked one, the t-mobile un-subsidised, or the t-mobile contracted one.
For people who live in the US and actually got the international one, which cell phone company are you using with it and are you able to get a cellphone plan and use it as a huge cellphone.
People with the t-mobile version have you been able to unlock the subsidised version and/or use the unlocked version as a cellphone? Either with a t-mobile prepaid plan or another company that uses the same frequency.
From what I have read it seems like the international one would have to be used with at&t and t-mobile version is only usable with t-mobile in the US atleast.
In Thailand has 2 version
P6200 (for 3G 900MHz)
P6200L (for 3G 850MHz)

I have the 6210, I'm fine with wifi only because 1) I'm not paying for yet another data plan, and 2) tethering your phone to the tab works great, assuming you have a smartphone.

You should buy GT-7 plus, Super amoled is not very importand for your Dad.

I second that. In addition, the extra screen resolution and slight bump in processor speed are not worth the extra money IMO. Good Luck with your purchase!
I think you should go on and get it. Sure, it lacks Super amoled screen, but I find that people that randomly see my tablet have no problem with my screen.
In fact they say the screen is pretty awesome. In fact, the only real people who seem to notice the screen are fellow tech people.
As I'm moving to London in few days, i really need a new Android phone, ready for LTE. My budget is around 250£ so Galaxy S4 is a no-go.
Can anyone suggest a good phone for that price range?
I had a previous look and was thinking about HTC ONE SV or ASCEND P1
Thanks in advance
Nexus 4 which afaik can have LTE using a custom rom.

ZTE Axon Mini released back in 2015 is never been a popular phone but was a good phone with interesting hardware choices. It had FHD AMOLED display with a pressure sensitive display supporting forced touch. Though the processor (Snapdragon 616) is not a great mid-ranger but still is sufficient daily driver. With its price cut down to around Rs.7000 (inr) that roughly translate in to 100 USD could be a great choice if there is a way to rectify its leggy software that still stuck at Android 5.1 (lollipop).
Since its successor ZTE Axon 7 Mini with snapdragon 617 has lots of custom ROM, we would love to have some for the Mini (SD616) also. Is there any possibility that Lineage Os for Axon 7 Mini could also be ported to the Mini.
If it cannot be done due to the difference in their processor then there is Honor 5X with SD616, for which we have Lineage Os 14.1(Kiwi Build).
Further the phone does not support all Jio LTE bands (I think its Band 5) and has no VoLTE support.
Can some one work around these problem. That will be great help to lots of us.
Any way to unlock other LTE bands

I have one more enquiry if porting new rom is not possible is it possible to unlock restricted LTE bands. My guess is it may be possible as it got a snapdragon processor and i have seen few posts with some heading like "unlock restricted band in any snapdragon processor". But when i look into such posts i got it to Xiaomi or OP releted. Someone please help.
Hi there,
I've been using my Note 8 for a few years now, but I feel I need a bigger screen.
I don't want to spend too much money, I don't use the phone to take pictures, I have my professional camera for that, nor for gaming as I use my Switch.
So, I'm looking for a good phone, with bigger screen.
I'm considering the Moto G for $299 or the Galaxy A71 for $149, though I'm confused because there's also this Galaxy A71 for $469. If the difference between the two Galaxy is only the unlocked feature, than I should be ok with the $149 as I'm on T-Mobile.
Anyway, are those two phones good? Is there a clear winner between the two? Is there a better option?
Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately no, can't buy Xiaomi in the U.S.
So Moto G! I thought it was a good phone, what was holding me back is that on a few YT reviews it seemed that Samsung is a little better in terms of speed, and screen quality.
Thanks for chiming in!
Edit: I could stretch the budget to $400, maybe Moto 5G could be a better option?

Could you tag the phones again with gsmarena? Either the links don't work as intended for me or I am getting redirected from the US website.
AFAIK you can buy XIAOMI phones in the US from here:
Xiaomi USA | Xiaomi Store USA | Xiaomi Mobile Phones USA
Xiaomi USA - Best Budget Phone is Authorized USA Xiaomi store offers new arrivals and the best selling Xiaomi mobile phones USA online at lowest price.
