SPECS SGT 7+
Body Dimensions 193.7 x 122.4 x 9.9 mm
Weight 345 g
Display Type PLS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 600 x 1024 pixels, 7.0 inches (~170 ppi pixel density)
Multitouch Yes
Features OS Android OS, v3.2 (Honeycomb)
Chipset Exynos 4210
CPU Dual-core 1.2 GHz
GPU Mali-400MP

Here is a Video:
Its in German Language but he says maybe 10 times "7.7 got better DISPLAY" and as u can see the density of the displays... 7.7 is unbeatable!
Quality of 7.7 is much higher than 7+ with plastic cover..
If you are not a tech freak like me then you can sure buy the 7+ tab without doubt it will does your job too

my understanding is,
7.0 uses Qualcomm's chipset, 7.7 use E4210, I think the performance of E4210 is better than Qualcomm's.
I have a 7.7 and I feel the experience is also better than P7510 (tab 10.1).
So I recommend the 7.7

7+ is using same 7.7 cpu e4210 ,samsung just make it slower for 7+ for cheaper level,so that make 7.7 more " high class "
I think it is easier to just compare screen as other specs are almost identical.
If you want AMOLED+ go 7.7
If not go 7.0+
I just played around with the 7+ at Fry's.
There's really no comparison. The 7.7's screen puts the 7+ to shame.
I have both and the 7.7 is in a totally different league. The screen difference is enough for me to never use the 7plus. Many apps work much better on the 7.7 like Photoshop or BBC news app, the build is much better on the 7.7, better battery, lighter. Easy decision in my opinion..

just pulled the trigger yesterday, seems like i made the right choice
With the exception of the iPad (2048*1536) and the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity (1920*1200) most tablets including the 7.7 have a screen resolution of (1200*800).
The same screen resolution (1200*800) is available on the galaxy Note with a 5.3 inch screen. So a 7 inch screen such as the 7.7 would need a resolution of (1750*1160) to equal the Note. and a 10.1 screen would need a resolution of (2286*1524).
When I decide to buy a 7 inch tablet then I would want the screen resolution to be at least as good as the Note. How long do you think it will be before the next 7.7 has improved screen resolution to match the Note?
The Note is actually 1280x720,a small difference true. Edit: shouldn't trust my friend even though he owns a note... It is 800
But the bigger difference is that the Notes screen is Pentile and the 7.7 is not. Using Pentile to get higher pixel density just feels like cheating to me. Higher pixel density is supposed to make things more crisp, but a Pentile matrix does the opposite.
And the other two you mentioned aren't amoled, so they can't really be compared either.
I cannot give you a technical answer but I own both the note and the 7.7. The resolution on the tab is just superior. Put the two next to each other in a shop and you will see the difference instantly.

Hi Gaugerer, 7.7 actually has resolutions of 1280x800 instead of 1200x800.
Also, I agree with kishd. Put a Note and 7.7 side by side you can see clearly that the pixels in 7.7 are arranged in perfect grid, while the pixels in Note are arranged in pentile matrix, as in SIII.

The Note is not 1280x720. It's 1280x800; just like the Tab 7.7. I have both.

Thanks for your replies and for correcting my Note screen resolution. It seems that most of you are happy with current resolutions on Android tablets, but I wish we had iPad3 dpi for it would help with my charting and multiple windows.
Of course the more the better XD
We are hardly some fanboys who would defend its short-coming
Having said that, resolution is not everything. You would like to look at contrast and refresh rate, as well as how pixels are arranged. The overall watching experience depends on these as well.
But if you don't want to digest too much technical detail, just go to shop and try it out on your own

Samsung may be working on an 8-inch panel with a full HD 1080p display to combat the likely arrival of an updated Apple iPad mini with Retina Display later this year. According to Sam Mobile, Samsung’s Super AMOLED display with a 1920 X 1200 resolution will debut this fall at the IFA 2013 conference in Germany. The 8-inch tablet, potentially named the Galaxy Tab 8.0, would become Samsung’s second tablet to utilize the company’s Super AMOLED panel after the original Galaxy Tab 7.7.
Though Samsung currently is positioning the recently launched Galaxy Note 8.0, a device with a 1280 X 800 (720p) display against Apple’s current iPad mini, the new 8-inch panel with full HD resolution will be used to combat a potential 7.9-inch screen used by Apple for the iPad mini successor. The Retina Display will have a resolution of 2048 X 1536, which would mean it will still have more pixels than a full HD panel by Samsung. However, Samsung will likely leverage the high contrast, vivid colors, and power efficiency of its Super AMOLED technology as key selling points when fighting the marketing behind Retina Display.:laugh:
Press THANKS if i have helped you
If only android apps could be updated to support the higher pixel density vs stretching their mobile apps. :banghead:

can anyone tell me which phone is best for gaming s4 or note 2?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
both are good..
Since 4 is obviously a bigger number than 2, I would test them both yourself and then decide which you like best.
Personally I will go for note2..
There isn't any game that lags in note2
Battery-3100mah, undoubtedly above good
processor-very good(quad core)
Ram-2gb (same as s4)
Why not s4? Here's why-
Expensive than note2
Poor battery compared to note2
Phone heats up very quickly on hard gaming(it becomes so hot u can't even touch it)
Small screen(depends on u)
Not actual octa core (2Xquad core)
Rest is ur decision..I investigated a lot before choosing among both and then bought note2
S4 is more powerful in benchmark results so i guess it will be good for gaming
5 inch screen is not too small lol and also screen resolution of S4 is 1020 while its 720 in note 2
S4 is easy to hold with one hand for one hand operation i.e typing/texting
the only advantage of note is bigger battery and extra 0.5 inch screen

S4 cause it has better CPU and more important a faaar better gpu(the essential part for gaming) that support also OpenGL 3.0 +better display.
Note 2 also has good points (bigger screen and better battery) but overall the s4 is better for games.

Well the S4 has more than twice as many pixels to shuffle around so it really needs the extra power. While the S4 has a sharper display (441ppi vs 265ppi) the Note2 is slightly bigger (5,5" vs 5.0"). If you have no need for the S-Pen I'd say, go with the S4... just make sure to keep a spare battery available.
Anyway I'd suggest you to wait for the s4 advanced,that will have a massively better gpu and a 20/25% better CPU(s800) or if you can get the the s4 lte-a (same as the s4 advanced but already on the market, HK and Korea only) that it is also 32gb ver.
IMO the best thing to do is wait a month to buy the s800 devices that will come out(Xperia z1,lg g2, note 3, nexus "5", and the htc one max)

The Note 2 has a bigger screen but less pixels, s4 a small screen with more pixels. So the video peformance is not very different because the s4 needs more power to manage those extra pixels. And of course personal preference.
simply wait for Note 3 :good:
The battery on the Note 2 will easily last more than a full day even if you use your phone a lot. When I had the s4 it struggled to get to the end of the day. The 1080p screen uses a lot more juice than the 720p on the Note.
S4 is more powerful for gaming though that being said the Note 2 is still a beast.

I've said this before, and I'll say this again,. you won't notice a difference in 720p vs 1080p unless you obsess over it and has a perfect vision. I have seen nothing different comparing both hand in hand, text is slightly crisper if you are being very anal about it. What you ought to consider though is price, if you use it for gaming, and the screen real estate vs one handed use.

But you have to consider that most games are played at 720p even on the sgs4 so the difference(even at native resolution) is huge.

Actually the case is not as simple as "1080p is 2.25 times more pixels than 720p"..
Let's count Sub-pixels on Note 2; there are 3 sub-pixel for each pixel thus giving us the number of 3 x 720 x 1280 = 2764800
Let's count sub-pixels on S4; there are one blue sub-pixel for every pixel and there are one red and green sub-pixel for every two! pixels giving us the number 1920 x 1080 = 2073600 blue sub-pixels, 1920 x 1080 x 2(for red+green)/2(for sub-pixel sharing)=2073600.
In total = 2073600+2073600=4147200 sub-pixels.
The expected ratio= 2.25
The real ratio= 4147200/2764800=1.5
Still, the GPU has to push every image rendering for a 1080p calculation. This is why the power is wasted. It calculates everything 2.25 times more than a 720p GPU just to be able to draw it inon a 1.5 times sharper screen.
I am not against a 720p pentile screen because it pushes the 300ppi barrier so it can be more sharper for human eye in certain conditions, however a 1080p pentile screen with a "false/fake" 441ppi is just overkill for both the battery and the GPU..
I had the same choice. But am not a big gamer.
Went for the note 2 because:
- better battery
- bigger screen
- S pen
- cheaper

There are obvious (minor) plusses and minuses to either one in terms of gaming. I think you should take everything that's been said and determine whats most important for you to have...bigger screen, more pixels, better CPU, etc. I game but wouldn't classify myself as a big gamer...I've used both and I think the experience is comparable.
For me is better Note 2 for play.. The bigger screen is a big help and is different to see. My friend, when they see me to play, say that like a different phone that theirs HTC one or GS4.. And also, with the same game, i don't see difference about power...
Get a PS3 or an XBOX 360

Ive gone to s4 from note 2. Not much difference gaming at the min. The screen is brighter on s4 and is sharper but I still miss note 2. Although im feeling better with size in pocket and like design better.
Would I go back to note 2? Yes easily.
Ps battery lasts all day on s4

Do you like to use MHL to output your phone's screen to a TV? If so, I very briefly got to try my Note 2 vs an S4 a few days ago and the latter struggled in Epic Citadel (as an example). In general terms the Note 2 felt slightly smoother everywhere when using MHL too (although the S4 can power the MHL adapter by itself which was quite a cool feature, though obviously the battery nose dived pretty quickly!).
Today from work i got the s5 very cheap that i couldnt pass on the deal and currently own the note 2 which i love. Question is s5 worth the upgrade from note 2? i havent opened my s5 yet its still sealed. hows the battery? camera? compare to note 2 ? i heard there is a option you can make your phone black and white so it could last very long? True? Thanks
Of cours its worth the upgrade.

Have you even bothered to look at any reviews of the phone before making this pointless post? It really depends on what features in a phone you are looking for. e.g. smaller screen, style, hardware specs, etc. Supposedly there's another S5 version coming out (launching in Korea first) that has 2560 × 1440 resolution, compared to the current S5 at 1920 x 1080 res. Meaning that will match the LG G3 in terms of resolution currently available in the market which means higher PPI, but on a 5.1" device you're not going to really notice a difference. Also the LTE hardware in the phone is upgraded capable of reach 225Mb/s. The new S5 LTE-A will have the new Snapdragon 805 processor.
