I recently saw the article for the gtab 7 plus coming to tmobile on androidcentral. I was thinking if it would be a good idea to get rid of my gtab 10 for the 7 plus. I really miss the fact that with the old gtab I was able to take anywhere in my pocket. the 10 is a pain to carry around and plus it will be 3g so I will be able to pop my sim in and use data without having to tether. also the specs are very similar to the 10. does anyone else think its a good idea?
5.3" ... 7" ... 7"+ ... 7.7" ... 8.9" ... 10.1" ...
Help me to choose ...
Hmm no, thanks ... I am waiting ICS tablet
Yes I think it's better to wait for ICS or Windows 8 tablet.
make up your own mind dude.
No offense, but I just don't understand this type of thread. You're just inviting a flame war over which tab is "better" and honestly, you're the only one who can choose what's best for you.
just asking for an opinion i already have the gtan 10 just wondering if its a dumb move to sell it for the gtab 7 plus not trying to start a war over anything
Can't see any reason to get the Tab 7+ over the Tab 7.7 - the 7.7 has a far better screen, a faster CPU and is thinner and ever-so-slightly lighter.
Really can't see why Samsung bothered producing the 7+ at all.
thanks for the info the tab 7.7 is much better than 7 plus. now to see if it will fit in my pocket
Well, it's dimensions are very similar to the 7+ - it's about 1cm wider but it's a couple of mm thinner.
The original Tab was 190.1 x 120.5 x 12 mm
The Tab 7+ is 193.7 x 122.4 x 9.9 mm
And the Tab 7.7 is 196.7 x 133 x 7.9 mm
then it should fit. I like the 10 but its not very comfterable to carry around

Faster CPU, 64GB option, thinner, lighter, bigger battery, bigger better higher resolution display in nearly the same dimensions. I'm with you, I have no idea why Samsung even bothered with this one, virtually no advantage to the 7 Plus over the 7.7. I'm impatiently waiting for the 7.7's release date and price to be announced for the US, it will be my first tablet!

I know this thread is a little old but at least for people searching let me add here that the galaxy tab 7 plus has one big advantage. It was unveiled to the public to have the exynos processor instead of the tegra 2. In other words its significantly faster and smoother with better gaming capabilities.
There's that and it is sold in the US. The 7.7 will not be sold in the US.

The Tab 7 Plus has a 1,2GHz Exynos SoC, the Tab 7.7 has a 1.4GHz Exynos SoC.
Still absolutely no reason to buy the Tab 7 Plus.
Even if its not sold in the us you can still buy it. Tabs are mainly used wifi only for the most

Totally disagree. Waiting for a device that is not even scheduled for a release and 0.2 GHz faster makes no sense. SAMOLED would be maybe a reason but who knows if the first generation of larger SAMOLED is really what i want.
I prefered the GSII over the upcoming Nexus Prime because I am sick of being the guinea pig for Samsung and Google. The Nexus S was crap upon relase so I don't want to try neither a first generation Tablet with SAMOLED nor a ICS device that is buggy.

Oh, my mistake, there is a kernel on the plus forums that will bring the plus up to 1.4Ghz
also, did anyone mention that the galaxy tab plus is .7 inches smaller?
I think this is a 10.1 forum neither a 7.7 nor a 7+ forum.

Hey everyone,
I am on the fence with these two excellent machines.
I've had 10.1 tablets in the past including the iPads, but found them too be a bit cumbersome.
What's your guys' take on:
Display quality between the two?
Exynos vs Tegra?
Keeping in mind that the tablets will be used for:
pdf manipulation
music
light video use
web
email
Thanks in advance

This...has been repeatedly discussed so I'll be brief. Tegra has a weird lag when in landscape (8.9 issue), Exynos does not. Display quality, if you googled the 8.9 and 7 specifications you would notice the 8.9 has more resolution than the 7 model. Today's tablets are very capable and fast for those functions you listed.
...
thanks for the reply.
i've been researching the last few days, but after a while it all starts to look the same, that's why i asked....
In terms of raw power, any dual cor eprocessor will handle the BASIC tasks you are looking to do
In terms of Phones Exynos looks faster but i don't know how that compares to tablets
For gaming, Tablet games are more often then not optimized for the Tegra 2 platform, TegraZone games make the most out of the processor and they looks phenominal. I don't know how well Exynos does gaming on a tablet
8.9 has a higher resolution which makes videos much easier. Also the speakers on the 8.9 are really good fo a tablet. I am not picky on audio but i use it when i play Oblivion and it overpowers the tv half the time
I think the larger screen is beneficial for internet browsing. I would definitely try them both out for usability i.e. screen size and weight to see if the $70 price difference is worth going for the larger one. Personally the 8.9's size of a hardback book is perfect.

The 7+ has a MicroSD slot, whereas the 8.9 does not. Besides that, it is the same beast in a different shell size. In the end it is up to you. Consider the screen resolution, portability and the size and possibly the MicroSD slot in your case. For me and my small hands 8.9 is the perfect balance, but for bigger hands, some may prefer the 10.1 for example.
...
Thanks for all the replies.
I just came back from BB. Played with both machines and I have to say that the 8.9 fits my bill better.
The 7+ is great too, but it was just too small.
Thanks again!!!
I've had both.. the old 7 and the new 8.9 and I definitely like the little larger screen.. I would say the only physical improvement I could see for the 8.9 would be a little different aspect ratio.. towards the ipad.
I have the original GT7 and I just got the 8.9. While I do like the new GT, I really wish that the 7.7 was out - that sounds like the perfect tablet for my needs...
8.9
8.9 it is! i've been playing with both 7+ and 8.9 and really like the larger one.
I wonder when ICS will come for it....
Thanks for all the replies
I'm trying them both out myself. I guess the 7in. form works for some, what with the new Fire getting the press (this is far superior to that not surprisingly!), but with this resolution it just doesn't fit my needs between a tablet and phone. I kept reading in reviews how much faster than the other tabs it was but really what I'm noticing is the increased heat you feel when its zipping along. The remote software is legitimately cool though, easy to set up, nicely designed and a pleasure to use.
The 8.9 is a definite keeper. Especially with the new Overcome kernel. It's the most beautiful android tablet I've ever used, even more comfortable and light than the iPad. I can't believe how nice the design is, I really hope the 8.9 form factor sticks with Samsung.
One important point though: Tegra 2 absolutely blows at playing HD video unless transcoded properly. This is a huge flaw with most Honeycomb tablets IMO. The 7 Plus eats any video you throw at it since it doesn't have that mediocre processor.
Can I use peel remote software from gtab 7 plus on gtab 8.9?where can I get it?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
No, as 8.9 does not have an IR port.
I've had a 7" inch HTC Flyer myself, I found it too small ( that and the screen sucks as does HTC support, but that's another discussion I guess)
I have the 8.9 now, and I love it (especially for reading, and annotating docs)
I was stuck trying to decide between the two.. I love a 7" form factor.. but I was disappointed with the 1024x600 resolution on the 7".. Loved the pixel density and ability to fit a lot more content on the 8.9".. but the 4210 Exynos SOC inside the 7 plus is night and day clock for clock against the Tegra2.
I ended up with the 7 Plus .. Best Buy has a return policy until mid-Jan (holiday return policy) so if I change my mind or some other Tablet meets my needs better I can always exchange.
The 7 Plus' hardware will provide more future proofing than Tegra2 in the long run. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 hits a home run in all aspects.. An even faster clocked 4210 at 1.4ghz.. The higher resolution 1280x800, and more pixel density due to the 7.7 screen size over a 8.9".. Not to mention the even more battery efficient Super AMOLED+ display. Otherwise, you also get a LIGHTER tablet and BIGGER battery capacity in the 7.7.
I'll definately be upgrading to it when it comes out. For now, the 7+ remains the fastest OUT-OF-THE-BOX Honeycomb tablet in existence.
Even overclocked Tegra2's can barely keep up with a 1.2ghz 4210.
I just wish there was development going on for the 7+. It's nearly non-existent because the 7+ is a stepping stone to bigger and better things (Tegra3 and faster Exynos) ... that said, a lot of people are just holding out for the next generation of tablets.

What do you think about the smaller screen but it using up more of the form factor?
Our 7.7
Size 196.7 x 133 x 7.9 mm 340g
Screen 166.5 x 103.6 mm 1280 x 800
6.3
Size 168 x 88 x 8 mm 199g
Screen 139.5 x 78.5 mm 1280 x 720
The width is 35% narrower but the screen is only 25% narrower.
I keep my 7.7 in my pocket as it is my primary phone but the Mega 6.3 is much more pocketable. Do you think the 25% reduction in screen size is worth this?
Each to their own. I ditched the nexus 7 as the screen was too small for me, the 7.7 is great though.
I don't see myself going to anything smaller that a 7.7,unless there will be no further production, then I will get whatever big screen is available at that time

I just want the offical 4.2.2 rom for 6800, no more.
Nothing is even close to how good 7.7 is. But mega being more pocket-able might be the only reason I'll even look at it. Not inspired by likes of Note 8 or anything else.
The 4.2.2 for the 6800 is not important for me, the tab does everything it should in ICS and it does it beautifully
I think I would have gotten a note2 if I were going that smaller.. Also, considering you can get Verizon version here in us for 350$, It wasn't even a selection really for me. 7.7 after so many years is still hands down the best tablet.
The new Nexus 7 looks very interesting :good:
yeah nothing is going to top 7.7 form factor and hardware. Still the only oled tablet on the market..

Hi.
I am planning to buy a Note 8 or a Galaxy Tab3 8.
But can't decide which one.
Which one preforms best? Which one will have best development support?
What about the size? Is the note 8 too big for one hand?
Which one would you recommend?
Thanks

Both are technically too big for one hand but I find the one with the larger bezel easier to hold since you can rest your thumb on it.
Also obviously the note 8 performs better (quad vs dual, 1.5GB vs 2GB of RAM), but unless you are hardcore you probably won't notice real life performance differencs
Development is too early to tell.
My view is that the price difference just doesn't justify getting the Tab 3 (You can get the Note 8 for only $25 - 50 more if you really look)
Also if you haven't already this is a good video to watch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGtcwfxCRN8)
All these comparison threads!! Ur gonna be finding different opinions, it always comes down to personal preference. Search for reviews and check it out. Decide what's best for you. There's plenty of threads/videos that can already help you make a decision. Not trying to be mean or anything, just letting you know.. So anyway, Yes I do love my note 8.0 its a perfect size. I love it because I bought it, hated stock, rooted it, installed civs reflex ROM, I feel complete.

The Note 8.0 wins hands down.
More memory, More internal Sdcard space, Better CPU and a Stylus to impress your friends.
It fits fine in one Hand for me when I need to but I normally use it in landscape mode.
It even fits fine in the front pocket of my work pants. Docker type.
Unless you are strapped for cash spend the extra 50+ bucks and get the Note 8.0.
I have seen it online for as low as 349.00
The note's the better device, but I think that the Tab will get more dev time because of the price differential.
I have a Nex 7 now, and the pace of development is breathtaking - two kernels and a modular ROM in 24 hours. I think some of that is due to folks liking pure Android, and a lot of it is down to price.
But I also think that if folks compare the N7 and the tab 8 side by side, they may prefer the color balance of the tab 8. I think Samsung and Best Buy may have made a mistake in placing the Samsung devices away from the others - makes side by side comparison much more of a challenge.
I like the resolution of the N7, sure, but text is gray, not black and the color doesn't seem nearly as accurate overall.

Looking for a decent mid-range Android tablet? Well, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch would be a good choice. It is light, portable, and capable enough to be used for not only web surfing and writing emails, but also for watching HD movies and even playing some Real Racing 3 every once in a while. The device doesn't have any flaws that would make it a deal breaker, so if it fits your budget, go ahead and grab one!
But the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is faster than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch and offers the S Pen digital stylus for drawing and handwriting input. Anyway, I like my galaxy tab and I sometimes take some good tips from aneesoft tablets column.
So it depends u.

Both Tab of Samsung is good . But Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is better than tab.Because It's function is very user friendly. It comes with impressive features like 10.1" LCD touch screen with high sensitivity, 5MP primary camera and 1.9 MP secondary camera as well as full HD recording and Wi-Fi .Recently one my friend bought this tab from ************ .

Unless of course Samsung has invented a magic "expandable" display (from 8" to 10.1")
Well...
Looks Like our family is expecting 2 new members..
The 2014 LG - V400 & V700 as of this writing are passing through the FCC.. I could be dead wrong but the V400 sounds like a 7" tablet and the V700 possibly a 10 - 12" device.
How do you feel about adding or upgrading to one of these units? has the V500/V510 been pretty much what you expected? Or maybe a better question would be.. Has LG met your expectations to a level that you would consider purchasing an LG tablet again? I would say it's a given that the V700 will be packing the Snapdragon 801/805 3gigs of Ram and possibly that 2K display that's coming on the LG-G3.. is that enough muscle to tempt you to upgrade from the V500?
While I have only had it a week, I am suitably impressed enough with the Gpad 8.3 to choose LG over Samsung for my next phone/tablet purchase.
With all the recent deeply discounted sales, and the discontinuation at Best Buy, it's quite possible that one of these new tablets is an 8.3 upgrade. If that's the case, I'm only semi-interested. A reboot will cost $350 (or more?) again, and I'm very happy with my 8.3. After all, I don't use it for anything I feel it's lacking in right now. Graphically-intense games (Asphalt 8, Soulcalibur), work fine, videos look great (and a 4K screen would be wasted), and browsing and ebooks don't exactly require a powerhouse. An 801 or 805 Snapdragon powered 8.3 with 3gb of RAM and a quadHD screen would be cool and all, but I don't need that.

I already know from experience that 7 is on the small end for me, and since reading is a big factor for me, 10 inches would be too big. Right now, this is the perfect form factor for me. I might consider a 10-incher for more online reading/browsing I suppose, but only as a complement, not a replacement. To be clear, I do not consider a different size as an upgrade no matter what the performance improvements.
I thoroughly love this tablet, so yes, i would gladly buy LG again, and certainly recommend it. I think there is nothing close to it in terms of price/performance right now. The only think I might really wish for is greater battery life, or a brighter screen for sunlight use, but even then, it is not a deal breaker.

same here. I was an original LG G2x owner that everybody knows what a freaking mess that was. The worst phone I ever owned. So i stayed away from LG. But then I decided to buy LG pad and love it so far. waiting to see what LG g3 will look like.
NO wonder it has been on a fire sale for $230 this past week. My Pad is coming next week. 7" is too small and 10" or more is too big. 8" is perfect.

Until there's a rock solid ~8.9" offering, ideally a Nexus or GPE, I'll stick with my G Pad GPE (daily driver) and my Nook HD+ (really only used as a comic reader now). I'm hoping the rumors of a Nexus 8.9 later this year are true and that the price is right.
As for the V510, there is no reason to change/upgrade. The screen size is perfect, and everything is damn near instantaneous in opening and response. The kernel needed some tweaking, and there are still a few items missing, but not enough to warrant bothering with it. I'm guessing at this point I will keep this tablet until the screen on a new one allows full sun reading and a foldable device that weighs considerably less. Anything else is just fluff.
Funny that I may not have too long to wait.

I think most will agree.. 8 inches is the *Goldie Locks* Sweet Spot for tablet size..
But.. I also think the allure of a Higher Res Screen 1920 x 1080 to 2560 x 1600 (2K Resolution) and a jump from 1.7 GHz to 2.5GHz and the promise of Key-Lime Pie 4.5/5.0 out of the box or with a swift update this fall, will be enough to change a lot of our minds..
By then, the pressure of the Nexus-8 and maybe even an updated Galaxy Note 8.4 will have a lot of us re-thinking how we feel at this moment..

Nexus 8 is still just a rumor, and the updated Galaxy Note is low res, so no chance. As to the Tab Pro specs, here's the thing: I paid $213 for the G Pad and am very happy with it. The Tab Pro is nice, but aside from some incremental improvements (the G Pad already has a Retina display as per Apple's own definition), things like the pen, or improved camera are of no interest to me. Truly NONE.
I am not a graphic artist, and I barely do any handwriting nowadays, though I write for a living. As to the rear camera, I have never even used it once, since my go-to camera is my LG G2, and for more serious pictures, I have more serious equipment. The front camera is more than good enough for video Skyping.
So do I think the faster CPU, and higher resolution screen are worth an extra $150? Nope.

You sound like a *Happy Owner* of the V500...
And for a purchase price of $213.00 Brand New.. You got a Great Deal.
As for as this "Low-Res" 2014 Samsung Galaxy Note 8.4 you are referring to... I can find no such device..
Correct Me if I'm wrong.. but it sounds like.. you thought I was referring to the Samsung Galaxy "Pro Tab 8.4".. I was not.
But I do agree.. the Pro Tab 8.4's price of $399.00 is too high.. just like the G-Pad at $349.00 on launch was too high.

Got Cha..
It looks like Samsung is going to have 3 distinctive lines... Tab Series.. Tab Pro Series.. and the Note Series of tablets..
I'm sure there will be an updated Note 8.0 version at some point in 2014.. given how popular the 2012 Note 8.0 was there is bound to be an updated version.
But I have to admit.. if that V700 is indeed a 10" slate with full 2K resolution, Snapdragon 801/805 @ 2.5 or > and priced @ $449 - $499.99 and has a sleek bezel design.. it's going to be tempting to me..
Look Their should be only 2 tablets in this world for any manufacture, one you can hold in 1 hand and another model that needs 2 hands. Anything else is just noise and will be discontinued. Why samsung has like 12 models in the $250-500 range ill never know.
My wish list for the next gpad is same rez, brighter/better screen, a portrait/landscape kickstand, and a back not made of butter.

Back made of butter? As to kickstand, a case is your friend. Not sure about portrait, but mine supports landscape just fine.
If Samsung has that many models, then clearly they have a market for them, so bully for them. It is funny that they do not have any that can compete with the LG in price/performance (current price $200-250 of course).
Does a custom ROM helps the battery life on this tablet?
Thread Closed By OP.
Ok, so I've bought the LG GPad 7 v400.... How do I root it and flash a custom recovery?

Go the the lg g pad 10.1 forum... More people there with the 7.0 lg g pad
There is root (via stumproot(?))
No boot loader unlock possible right now , so no custom ROM/kernel/recovery
