I think specification wise and updating wise nexus but two caveats
1-no rear camera
2-no external sd card slot(so important for some)
If you could endure that so nexus not endure so gtab2
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah external is big. I know you can buy a adapter and use a USB storage for the nexus but seems like a hassle. Also development seems good over here so I may just buy the galaxy

Thanks for the vids. It seems that the screen and the name\fasts updates all id be missing. Seems Google kind of took advantage of its loyal customers to me. I nexus is cool but I expected more. I've also been reading all the stories about the quality of it over on the nexus 7 forums. Some people have exchange it over 5 times. Plus gt2 jelly bean anyways thanks to developers

Better... lurk the transformer/ Asus tablets forums to see what problems they have. Not too many problems on stock gtabs.

I was thinking of the Nexus for the screen and processor or Tab 2 for the SD card slot and the Student Edition at Best Buy. Figured I'm not going to be using it much in direct sunlight and I'll almost definitely need expandable storage so went with the Galaxy. First Samsung device and I'm really happy with it. A lot of development options, had it rooted in 20 minutes, etc. The keyboard that came with the Student Edition is pretty handy if I'm going to be typing notes for school. I'm a fan.
I just saw the app to sd problem but is it worth the wait. Unless i missed the fix

Just don't flash cm9/10 or the keyboard wont wont work. But as for 7 or gt2 it really depends on what your using it for. Do you need a lot of storage on the device?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Movies ROMs and gaming.the first two I can take care of with gt,but with such limited storage of a 8gb (5gb) tablet it hard not to fill up quick on other apps and games like Max Payne etc
I'm curious on this as well. I loved the nexus7 but it had too many quality control issues

Just reserved my gt2 after owning an N7 and the screen cracking into a million pieces. After watching some video comparisons on speed I don't think there's much in it plus dev here on xda is way ahead at the mo.
Even gaming there's very few apps/games that will utilize the quad core CPU. Its really a close race between them that basically comes down to the options you get. Better processor more ram better screen vs external storage front and rear cameras and better build quality.

I just switched from an Asus Transformer Prime (TF201), a member of the same pedigree as the Nexus 7, Infinity, etc. It is a piece of junk. GPS flat doesn't work (it did in an earlier firmware version), WiFi stinks, and the glass cracks if you look at it the wrong way (mine cracked from the keyboard dock...too bad since the dock was the best feature). The digitizer and screen work, but the glass has a spider web on it. Plus, Asus support is abysmal. They used to be a fantastic company, but something changed and they are AWFUL now. Stay away.
I would only consider a Nexus 7 because Google supports it.
Anyway, I jumped all over the BestBuy GT2 7.0 deal. It seemed to be the best featured device, the knowledgeable sales guy (yes, my BestBuy had one) recommended this one or the Acer, and with the special deal there, I chose the GT2 7 for $250. I am not regretting it so far. From what I have seen in this forum, the videos I saw on Youtube, and other Google search results, I think this is a deal everyone should jump all over.
For the record...I also own an Asus Netbook (1001P), and have built PCs with Asus motherboards. I jumped on the TF201 because of ASUS' reputation of making good hardware. That was my biggest mistake, and perhaps others' as well.
I was gonna buy the nexus but I really didn't want to have them ship me one as I wanted it now lol. Found the bestbuy bundle with keyboard and usb thing and WOW I love it and it's really amazing. Even just stock with root, it's a great tablet.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Money to burn, that's a terrible dilemma to have. Anyways since you're in the nexus 7 forum, I going to have to suggest getting a nexus 7. No bias here!
Isn't the Xoom like 1-2 years old? Anyway, I wouldn't consider the Xoom. Too big, too heavy, too old. Go with the N7, but buy it from a brick and mortar store so you don't have to post the "my negative experiences with buying mail order" since we have about 5000 of those threads already.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I would definitely go with the Nexus 7. It's a much newer and faster device, although like Getbuzzin said, you are in the N7 forums so that's what you're going to hear around these parts. =)

Most comparisons are odious since Nexus 4 has been in the hands of users for barely 2 weeks while millions of hands have cradled S3 for over 6 months now! A mere reading of the shipment thread under Nexus 4 general will show the longing for a pure google android experience.My prediction is that S3 will be left by the wayside soon.

2 weeks or 20 weeks, stock will remain stock all the end user needs is a phone with some great features whether its pure google or touchwiz or sense the care less about it. its the 10 to 20% of the enthusiast segment that analyses deep about os , oem skins and stuffs.

So far I have used about 8 nexus 4's ( I keep ordering replacements to keep them ). And I don't know how to test this but all the 8gb just feel quite a bit faster.
Anyone else feel the same, also I tried stock and then rooted to cm10.1 mako all the same way.

Yes I'm the bad guy because I have to lie to Google to get more to help people in need. Who cares what happens with phone it makes somebody happy. Blame Google not me I am just a guy trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.
Anyway does anyone feel the 8gb is faster. Also just got a mercury slim case on amazon I have to say in white or black this is the best case hands down. I pretty much ordered every single one. Guess that makes me a douche because I gave a company money in exchange for a product.

It sounds like you're suggesting the nand chip is faster in the 8gb. We would need people to do file storage benchmark to confirm your claim.

The only way I can describe it is on the 16 once in a while it will lag for a second or two but on the 8gb I never get it.

You found a way to screw a system that was meant to help people, for your own gain. That's what makes you the d-bag.
Anyways, not certain of any correlation. As another guy said, it may just be the placebo effect.
Somehow I get a feeling this is some kind of strange trolling.
Like those messages about 21xC devices without sparkling back.
Here is why: the OP goes through his 4-th device (implying he is getting replacements) and somehow manages to get his 16gb replaced with 8gb. Which is somewhat strange and I suppose such an event would trigger a very different post.

No actually it would not seeing how much I can sell one for. And if you guys don't think a lot of people are doing this now you lying to yourself. There are a ton of nexus 4's on eBay for sale buy one now and sell yours when you get it maybe you even make a profit.
My nexus 4 and my girlfriends nexus were free and that was my goal. There is no excuse for not having a nexus 4 if you really wanted one. I'm so sure I somehow jammed the system all across the world. Sorry that life has not been fair to your pursuit for a nexus 4. I'm sure someone starving in a poor country could feel your pain, I mean what a tragedy. Maybe I should just call the police and turn myself in.
Then when you break your nexus 4 that is super fragile you will wonder why you even bothered.

And somehow I worse than the guy that orders 1 nexus 4 and has it replaced 3 times because it has a "flaw". Knowing damn well this is a 300 dollar phone and expecting iPhone 5 quality. I mean does anyone remember all you guys who kept replacing your nexus 7.
All of this is driven by hype and I blame Google for not making more so you can get it in your hand and realize its not all that and your tears were not needed.

Which do you think is more worth it? This or the Zens one? They are both around the same price...
