I recently got a hold of a Samsung Captivate and was amazed on how smooth and snappy the phone was, but couldn't help notice that it was faster than my Tab at stock. I mean apps were loading instantly and the browser running at lightning speed.
I compared the Captivate to different firmwares that I was using on my Tab, such as XXJM6 and JPJK2 which are the most recent ones.
Is it possible that the firmwares are still not fully optimized for the Tab? I thought most of the hardware was almost the same across all the Galaxies? I'm just concerned that maybe my Tab is defective.
Note: Forgot to mention that Market is also very slow to load in comparison too. It's instant on the Captivate without lagfix on both devices.
Now, I have a Samsung Vibrant and a Galaxy Tab and I have to admin there is little notices such as the market slower a lil bit slower on the tab, but other then thatthe tab is over all smoother then the vibrant.
Oh and in case this ever comes up both the Vibrant and Tab I have are stock.

One thing to bear in mind is that both the Tab and Galaxy S use the same processor and GPU. However, due to the increased resolution of the Tab, it is throwing around 60% more pixels to the screen than the Galaxy S, which will certainly be a factor in any performance differential.
FWIW, I've not noticed any significant difference in speed between my Tab and my HTC Desire, and anecdotally the Desire is just as fast as the S except in gaming.
Vis-a-vis the Market - usually, the slowness of the Market is at the Google end, not the device. It may be it's just handling the fingerprint differently.

Hi.
Now that the new 10.1 is starting to make its way into peoples hands, I'm curious regarding the differences to the initial 10.1v and I/O tabs and the new 10.1 tabs. From the little actually posted it looks like the same procesor has been used and I actually can't really see other differences apart from the hard drive options, the tablet overall size and the camera.
This leads me to the question of development on the galaxy tab. If the specs end up being quite similar will there still need to be seperate development across the devices for the minor differences once sources are released? And will a new forum section need to be created for the latest devices or will it fall into one of the existing dev forums?
I am also interested for an answer about this. I can buy tah 10.1 v for a relativly good price but I just wish to know wether it is worth to wait for the new model.
Tahnk you.
The same question from me..........
10.1 -> GT 7500 and 10.v -> GT 7100
Hi,
Those liks are quiet good documented...
It's in German but will help you a bit...
the big difference is Camera!
http://www.handy-deutschland.de/samsung-gt-p7100-galaxy-tab-10-1-3g-datenblatt.html#daten
http://www.handy-deutschland.de/samsung-gt-p7500-galaxy-tab-10-1-3g-datenblatt.html#daten
Actually there is a little bit more underneath the hood than than just the camera differences.
Yes the CPU is the same, but the CPU isn't the only component in the tablet ofcourse. It seems that there is a different kind of flash memory used in 10.1v compared to the 10.1.. I don't know if this is the main reason for the 10.1v performing a tiny bit better in Quadrant scores, the CPU scores the same scores in Linpack. Though the scores in Quadrant have a 400-500 point difference. This might be caused by other factors but this would be the most logical.
On a downside, Samsung made the partition size of /system (where Honeycomb is installed) too small to make stock 10.1 roms running on the 10.1v.. This is an obstacle still to be overwon. In theory the 10.1 kernels should work on the 10.1v, in practice this isn't always the case. But with the 10.1v kernel made opensource yesterday, chances are it would be really easy to make 1 kernel for both devices.
So in short, the 10.1v might be a small factor faster and have a better camera resolution wise. But on the other hand the 10.1 is smaller, has more accessories availible (right now that is, don't know if Samsung will release accessories for the 'v' model soon). And as soon as /system can be resized, we are probably good to go and merge the entire development threads.
*fingers crossed*
Thanks to the OP for posting this. I actually posted the same question prior to finding this thread.
So, just to be clear, the 10.1 is newer than the 10.1v? If you buy one now (say at BB or Amazon), which version are you likely to get? Do retailers bother to distinguish the difference?
Why did Samsung bother to make two version of such similar tablets?
Aren't the connectors the same for both devices?
I love it first off...I have issues as all do with first releases...but all the issues on other devices have always been eradicated with the great devs on the forum.
I'm sensing that because this is still percieved as a novelty device (and it very well might die as a Samsung new category device...primarily due to its fusion/compromise of tablet and phone...not ever satisfying either) ....because of that fact I fear developers just wont spend the time creating the great roms/kernels as the Evo's and GS2's have enjoyed.
Hope I'm wrong.
Have 9 days left to possibly return or sell. My Epic Touch just kick its ass in general speed (I'm still stunned at the extent that this is the case).
Anyway, that's the general fear...wanted to get it out there and off the chest!
thanks
Dell Streak was a fairly unstable device with very little exposure, so it's adoption was much less. Samsung on the other hand is going out of it's way to advertise Galaxy Note, I am even starting to see TV ads when the device hasn't hit the market yet. Plus Note has a lot of similarity with Galaxy S2 in terms of internals, so it enjoys quite a lot of already established research and development. I mean we had a root and a custom recovery literally within the same week of its release.
I know of a few talented devs getting the device soon.
Dell Streak was a poorly advertised device. But a really good one.
Galaxy note on the other hand is a close relative of SGSII. so easier in terms of development.

It probably won't get the same dev attention as say the nexus one or galaxy nexus, but personally I'm not too bothered about that. The note is a bit of a niche device. The Samsung apps specific to the Note look like they're pretty good already, and I believe Samsung are releasing APIs for the s-pen soon, and on the horizon is ICS with pen APIs built in.
From what I can see though, there's a lot more anticipation about the Note than for example the Galaxy Tab 7", which was also a niche phone + tablet hybrid. I expect a lot more dev love for this than there was for the Tab.

And to be fair, the GTab7 did/does see enough dev support to make it worthwhile.
I'd expect the Note to be more popular than the GTab7 because:
a) It's superior in almost every regard to the Galaxy Nexus (IMO)
b) It will get official ICS at some point

When the Dell Streak was launched nearly all smart phones were small, but the trend is now away from small phones. Samsung believes that most people would prefer to carry a Note than carry a large tablet plus small phone and I think they are right. Most people will be very happy with the Note, even if there is no development in forums, because it is such a great phone.
Encouraging responses!
It seems I've taken a 3 year back step in Device responsiveness, tho.
Interesting because one of the final selling moments was review statement such as this:
From Engadget:
" Performance and battery life
The Galaxy Note may slot squarely in between a phone and a tablet in terms of physical dimensions, but when it comes to performance we're happy to report it leans much closer to the latter than the former -- in many cases surpassing even that class of devices. We ran it through the gamut of typical benchmarks and found nearly everything predictably out-pacing this device's Galaxy S II predecessor.
In quadrant this husky phone threw down a 3,998, compared to the GS II's 3,200. Linpack single and multi found 64.30 and 95.66 MFLOPS, compared to 55 and 81. Nenamark 1 and 2 resulted in 57.67 and 32.8, it hit 51.77 at Neocore and ran through SunSpider in 2,902ms. These are very, very good scores, out-classing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in most cases and really raising the smartphone bar.

Note has a lot of crap running in its background, even then it manages to be on par or beat the Galaxy S2. Plus I believe it's software isn't properly optimized for that resolution. Time will fix these. Hardware wise, the Note is miles better than the Galaxy Nexus. Pure AOSP Android 4 should be absolutely faultless on the Note.

I agree, I didn't see anything particularly exceptional with the Galaxy Nexus, at least at the hardware level. Which is a pity, as it was going to be the natural replacement for my ageing but still brilliant Nexus One... The lack of an SD slot and no obvious availability here in the UK of the 32GB version was the final nail in the coffin. The Note is actually pretty powerful from a hardware perspective. I'm sure ICS will run extremely well on it. Coupled with confirmation that 64GB sd cards work fine in it, makes it a pretty powerful and capacious device .
There is root and I am a TouchWiz keeper, battery lasts longer than GS2, regular apps run, getting ICS - I guess I wouldn't be needing dev support.
Edited: And I am not super hungry for ICS at version 4.0, I can wait until 4.0.4 when ICS is finally super stable.
i'm just waiting for Cyanogenmod to make it's way over ... it IS coming, right...?
I feel your PAIN...

Coming from the Dell Streak 5 myself, I know EXACTLY how you feel. I flashed as many ROMs as were available -- all TWO OF THEM!!
Amazingly, my son STILL USES my HD2 because it never gets OLD--he can change to a new ROM almost DAILY. There has to be about 82 million ROMs for that thing!
Now that I just picked up the SGN on Friday, I too am hoping the SGN will get that kind of love!!

I completely understand how you feel, coming from the streak.
I got the streak in Oct last year, because 2.x was "coming soon". Gave up and did it myself in December. I'm still on 2.2.2, which is super stable for me.
I've looked at the SGS2, but that 4.3" screen is just too hard to get use to.
If someone in the states would offer the Note, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'm not sure I want to get one from overseas...just yet. Bought several items from HK, but, nothing almost a grand in price.
...and I'm OK with that

Well, the Tab 7 had lots of rommers basically modifying stock with some UI tweaks, and Technomancer doing a proper job with CM7. Nowhere near the likes of something like the Nexus One where lots of real development took place.
I can see lots of development of the Note in comparison, especially once Samsung drop the source. Even more activity once it moves to ICS. I think there are reasonably long legs in this device for devs to come on board.
I am concerned as well. Actually, this is the only reason why I have still not purchased the Galaxy Note.
Are there any good developers who have already promised to support this phone?

hey guys,
so i'm looking to pick up a Galaxy Note in a few hours- done quite a bit of research as i've been very excited.
i just want to hear from people with first hand experience- if you owned a Galaxy S2 prior to the Note, was the leap really worth it? If so, why?
Thanks!

Do a search for S2 in this forum. You will find numerous threads comparing the Note to the S2. I have not read one post where someone was not happy they moved to the Note.
It is worth it. I upgraded today and I am not looking back. The Note is amazing!!! Love the HD screen. I just need to get a copy of the Netflix HD apk from the Razr.

No its not.
I bought the note and its not compareable to the sgs2...
Its slower, for what reason ever (im using the lighting rom on [email protected],4ghz), if you load the same website on both for ex youtube desktop the note is much lagg a bit but much... even @ quadrant (I know its a bench but my sgs2 scores 4600 after 4months of useage the note 3400 out of the box...).
Maybe someday a custom rom will boost it up, but at the moment its ONLY BIGGER with a higher res bit greeny colorized display...

^^ that's what i feared... any other opinions or experiences? both positive and negative
i'd like some confirmation on CM7 coming over to the Note, as i've had some good experience with those ROMS on my old devices making them much more responsive.
$500 over my SGS2 just doesn't seem to be justified for a 1" bigger screen and less responsiveness... decisions, decisons...
i don't have GS2 so i can't say that its worth to upgrading or not but my note is great i could not be happier . i don't see any s pen issue (i set on right hand writing ) if i set left hand writing and using right hand with s pen then it will look a bit off like on the youtube video. and lastly i don't notice any greeny colorize .

My tweaked SGSII is faster and smoother then my SGN, stock browser and desktop mainly. Still the SGSII is shelfed since I have my Note. SGSII actually looks to small to be usable.
I have a S2, I think its worth to upgrade. I love the larger screen.
I had to go back to the S2 for a few days because my Note's screen was faulty, and it is surely no torture to use the S2, it feels smooth.
But, the Note gives a dimension to mobile computing not comparable to smaller devices like the S2 or iPhone.
I don't care for the s-pen, maybe I'll find some use it besides impressing others...
If however, your main use is calling, maybe a smaller device is more suitable...

I love the Note. LOVE it.
That said it is significantly laggy compared to my SGs2.
I figured it would be with no mods initially...but its slower than I thought it'd be.
I compare them both clocked at 1400.
The difference is the lack of exynos processor I think.
You can bridge the gdap with Launcher pro (and loose the cool tW widgets)and put scrolling settings at top speed....along with Rom Manager Pro an XDA dudes app which scripts the OS to optimize memory and speed.
So yeah surprised and dissapointed in the screen responsiveness (specially after Engadgets review (has it faster than SGS2 in all benchmarks).
Whatever...developers should have it all stepped up in a month or two.
thanks for all the replies, fellas

The galaxy note has the exynos processor, why do people think otherwise, i havent seen a single publication post otherwise.
I really like the note so far, those it is slightly laggy as others havee said
Useful video comparing the Note with the S2.
It's in Italian, but the video should still be easy to follow... Possibly a tiny bit more laggy on the Note in parts, but I don't see that being a long term issue. The hardware is definitely good enough. Really want to see ICS run on it. I suspect it'll fly.
An appearance of lagginess doesn't mean it's slower necessarily, right?
Could just be software inefficiencies, if I'm not wrong....
once development catches up, i'm sure it'll be on par at least
in any case, i ordered one today lol
thank you everyone for your input and opinions!
I am not a benchmark testing fan (specially quadrant), but since this comparison was made with 2 devices out-of-the-box, and I was one of those doubting which one to purchase , I dont mind in this case to add also Quadrant benchmarks to help and try to erase my doubts:
EDIT (13 -nov) : I decided to remove that benchmark comparison till another more reliable benchmark test shows up*
Just vote and give your opinion, based on the user-level experience and/or general impression, specs etc....
I thing I am going for the Note which will soon enough get the ICS as well (not as native though)

I'm not the least bit surprised. The Exynos processor absolutely crushes everything out there; just look at how fast the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus is compared to the 10.1.
This is the main reason I'm going with the Note over the Nexus. The latter only has software going for it, and only for so long. The hardware simply doesn't compare, and the lack of a microSD card slot was the finishing blow for me.

Hey..that was fast,,,,I just finished posting this
In the video the speaker points out the Nexus is a pre release version. I'm sure the final device will have a way better performance.

True, but the Note is still superior in terms of hardware (SGX540 vs Mali is almost unfair), so there will still be some sort of noticeable disparity.
Keep in mind that I just dropped $710 on the Note, so I'll say anything to warp reality to my liking .
What do u expect when u post in galaxy note forum.
Would have a different result in galaxy nexus forum.
The 2 most imp things are
1. the size of the screen
2. how fast android updates will come to each handset.
1. Highly individual choice
2. nexus has upper hand.
The stuttering of the video on the Galaxy Nexus clearly shows in my opinion that this is not a production ready device. I don't think these tests say much.

As soon as I can get a T-MO USA friendly Note I will have one, As soon as the Prime is out I will have one of those as well I voted for both.
My guess is for the purely business related side of my life the Note will kill everything out there today, But my dev modding side will be happier with the Prime....... They both should be out by Xmas so I will update as soon as I have both to compare.

I got the Note and i orderd also the Nexus...but im sure that i will sell the Note because i dont want to wait 3 monthsore for ics and i like also that there are no Hardwarebuttons...but the Note ist a nice phone

I think you are a bit confused my friend.
The video you posted is about the older samsung devices and nothing to do with the Note and the Galaxy Nexus aka nexus prime.
And what the sgs1 is concerned, quadrant benchmarks means nothing...

You are absolutely right. My bad! Still can't believe the gnexus has such a low quadrant score
Edit: Quadrant is absolutely not adequate to measure the Galaxy Nexus performance. Ice cream sandwich supports hardware accelaration by the GPU for butter smooth rendering of visual elements. This is turned on by default when a developer writes apps for ICS or higher, but has to be explicitly turned on when a developer targets a lower Android version.
As far as I know, Quadrant doesn't turn on hardware acceleration hence the tests are not relevant at all. (Although it will give an indication how apps will perform that don't make use of the hardware acceleration.
Righty then....

What? Hardware acceleration won't make a difference in any of those tests.

Why? I think they are very interesting. It may be that the Galaxy Nexus will perform average on non optimized apps.

Of course it will. Quadrant is measuring all kind of graphic performances right? Well if this is accelerated by the GPU on ICS and the test app doesn't use this acceleration it's an uneven fight.

Right.....I think the Galaxy Nexus forum is still warming up, but I just started a thread over there, linking to this one.....let's see what happens...
Here in Holland the GNexus didnt hit the showrooms yet...

Hmmm.....Since I linked this thread to the GNexus forum, I see the Nexus is catching up...
Anyway since my experience with the sgs, I am not impressed with benchmarks, specially Quadrant...
I am probably going for the Note, but I will be testing the sound of the GNexus, the minute it hits the showrooms here in Holland.....and if its sound is as good as or even better than my sgs's (wolfson dac) ....that could change my mind....
But, man, I like the size of the note....as somebody wrote, it's not a smartphone, it;s not a tab, it's a super smartphone

Hardware acceleration is acceleration of 2D ui by rendering through GPU, all the 3d games and tests are already running through the GPU.
