Thick as a brick and child proof padding.
Poor low resolution screen.
Apparently no Google Play Store.

Got my daughter the nabi 2 and it's pretty bad-ass. Only thing is on the nabi 2 it's missing Google services framework so you can't even side load any Google apps. The only way to do that is to root it which reading is fairly simple. Just look at the specs on it and it's a kids tablet.

It's not that thick, the protective padding makes it thick. Actually it is just slightly thicker than the nexus 7. The screen resolution is decent, I mean c'mon it's for kids. I really don't think a kid is gonna complain about resolution.

While the design and stock UI mods are definitely kid-oriented, and as such may not be the best build quality/buggy, the specs are very similar to the Nexus 7. All I can see different is lower screen resolution (though the same as Kindle Fire), lack of NFC, and ICS rather than Jelly Bean.
In fact, it has some things a little better than the N7..microSD slot, HDMI out, and a 2MP FFC..for the same price point..
While I probably wouldn't want it, it's pretty classy for a kid and it goes to show that the price/hardware ratio is really getting better.

Yeah it's like the N7 except it isn't specs are one thing, but looks and build quality is always different. Might be kid friendly and all, but it's still different there is going to probably be 0 dev support for that device. Personally having extra SD slot and HDMI out isn't important, but that's just me

Since the Nexus 7 has been touted as the first and only tablet with its processor, another one with the same processor and price has something to do with it. Its specs are pretty equal, except the screen resolution and it has an SD slot and HDMI out. It could get picked up by developers. Just because its aimed at a different market doesn't mean it won't, ie Nook Color.

I thought I read somewhere that in theory, it is possible, but you would probably have to have quite the soldering skills to even begin to do this.

Wow, this thing has impressive specs for a device aimed at children. It almost seems wasteful to give something this powerful to a five year old. The display resolution might be lower than the Nexus 7's, but it's the same resolution as the other good 7" tablets before the Nexus 7, not to mention that the pixel density is higher than non-retina iPads.

The Nabi(Original) was underpowered, so they did not want to make the same mistake on Nabi2.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

I hadn't heard of the Nabi until now so I'm not familiar with the experience of the original, but I looked at its specs and aside from having a low resolution (800x480), the original looks like it should have the horsepower to run things smoothly. With a dual core 1.1ghz processor, it's more powerful than my old Galaxy Tab, which ran ICS pretty well. I suspect that it must have been more of a software issue than hardware.
Edit: I paid closer attention to the specs and can see that it's 2 x 533mhz, in which case yeah, that's pretty slow.

I pre ordered a nexus 7 but now thinking of cancelling

I ordered it mostly just because jellybean looks so awesome i had to have it. But now that the benchmarks have been released along with the full specs, im actually now somewhat convinced it is inferior to my ics running n7000, or at the least equal. I ran the gl 2.1 benchmark that anandtech ran and my stock (not overclocked ) note actually scored higher in all 4 benchmarks than the "12 core" tegra 3. So besides battery life and jellybean, im pretty meh at this point. Anyone else have similar feelings? Or am i really missing something?

For the price point; the Nexus 7 is a nice investment. The specs are solid. If you have disposable income it's hard not to throw $200 at the 7 and at the very least make it a part of your coffee table.
I'm in the boat that I will upgrade my Note to the Note 2 as no doubt the spec leap will be much bigger than the Nexus 7.
Dude the price is low for that 7"
So it worth it x2 each dollar, if you r looking an upgrade just wait the note 2 or other device
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm with you in debating on it OP.
I've yet to put an order in as the Note 2 looks rather promising, however watching media on the 7" display would be lovely, and Tegra 3 aught to have enough power to handle S/W decoding of 10bit 720p, but I've also read that the S3 seems to handle it fine, and if the Note 2 will be a 'larger S3' then I might as well save the money and wait.
It's a tough decision, since it's realistically the best 7" tablet to come out yet.

What is the point of buying it if you are basing that decision on purely benchmarks and OS version?
Are you actually going to make use of the extra screen space compared to the note?
If yes buy it, if not dont, simple
The Nexus 7" looks amazing for the price. The only downside is the lack of SD card slot.
I'm not sure if they left it out for cost reasons or to avoid annoying the other manufacturers.
I won't personally be getting one as I'm holding off buying a tablet until Win 8. You just know someone will bring out a device that dual boots in to win8 and android.
About a month ago I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 (7") for my Fiance as she wanted something like a kindle but that did a bit more. 16 Gb was £200 if the Nexus Tab has been out for £150 with better spec and newer OS I would have thought that was a great buy if you want a 7" tab.
I dont get this comparing tabs and phones. Its like comparing apples and oranges. Both fruits but not the same thing.

Except that the galaxy note is a phablet, a hybrid device. Thus the issue here.
To the person who said I only used benchmarks, not exactly. I was just saying that the 1.4ghz dualcore exynos with mali400 seems to still be a top dog and even beats/equals the "12core" tegra 3. Pretty impressive.
I do know the nexus 7 is a great device for $200. It doesn't have everything a galaxy note has like mhl, 5ghz wifi or sdslot but in terms of raw performance, screen resolution the $249 version is equal to my 16gb GT-N7000. No doubt it is an impressive device for the price. I found a deal on mine at Jr.com for $222 shipped 16GB version but that pre-order quickly sold out.
Even still I hesitate. It will probably only be a couple of months before the devs make a good port of jellybean for our note. Having a pure google device however does appeal to me. I'm still torn. Luckily it wont ship for another 10 days so I have all that time to decide.

That is the Galaxy Nexus phone, not the Nexus 7 tablet. Personally, the Galaxy Note eliminates the need of a tablet for me.
It's 7 inches. Not even 2 full inches of difference between the Note and Nexus. And you can put the Note in your pocket and take it everywhere with you. And since Nexus 7 does not use full tablet UI - it's basically "a bigger note" ( exaggeration for purpose of the thread ).
It all depends on your needs though. I really prefer to have just 1 device that i can carry everywhere, always. Tablets, even 7" are not that mobile despite all the marketing.
If its any help i currently take my note with me everywherr daily. I use my Galaxy Tab 10.1 for browsing, gaming and watching movies (in bed). I use the Galaxy Tab 2 for reading and general messing about.
I admit 1 person doesnt need all 3 in their life but I do prefer web browsing at home on either of the tabs as I find it better with the bigger screens and the same for reading and movie watching whilst at home.

The Note is also a phone and has 3G... and 2 good cameras.
The Nexus 7 is a nice tablet (low end price with good specs) but it cant be the only device to take, a good companion to a phone maybe.

[Q] iPad Mini vs Nexus 7

Hey guys I am a big fan of Android and am currently looking into getting a 7" tablet.
The only thing that is putting me off the Nexus 7 is the fact that the apps look like a enlarged version of the phone apps. I currently own a HTC One X and love it but was looking forward to a more native experience on the tablet. I am really keen on the Nexus 7 because of it's price but am also a little tempted by the iPad Mini's design and apps specifically made for tablets.
I just wanted your opinions on whether the larger tablet app selection on the iPad Mini is worth the $100 price difference between the two products? Are the enlarged phone apps on the Nexus 7 really that much of a deterrent? I am really confused at the moment and am hoping that your opinions on this issue combined with other arguments for the Nexus 7 or iPad Mini will help me in making a decision.
Thanks for your time and look forward to the replies.
................
*looks up at forum title*
Something tells me you're not going to find many people in this thread who will say the iPad Mini is worth the $100 premium over the Nexus 7. The Nexus has better specs overall. Unless you have other reasons to consider the iPad (i.e. you have other iOS devices that could take advantage of iCloud), I can't see any reason to consider the iPad Mini
We have the N7(me) and the Ipad2(wife) in the home. Both are great gadgets but N7 is faster, smoother and has the superior os.
As for blown up phone apps its mostly a problem on the Ipad2 where the tiny 3.5 apps really look dreadful on the 10 screen. Most android apps are made for 4.3 screens and still look great on a 7.
Only arguments I can see for the Ipad mini is if you want an optical port out or the possibility of a sim card (I am not even certain that then mini will be getting those?).

That's the reason I love Android. With iOS you need to buy a separate app for your iPhone and your iPad, prime example Borderlands for iOS, and many other "HD" games. With Android, you buy a game and it should work with all of your Android devices be it Tablets or phones.

The iPad Mini is more expensive and runs iOS! IOS maybe stable but you can't customize it like you can android. The apps on the nexus 7 don't look enlarged at all, the only app I have found that does is SpeedTest.net app.

hmmmmmm look here http://blog.gsmarena.com/the-ipad-mini-races-the-nexus-7-towards-a-cold-hard-surface-in-a-drop-test/
Had a good look at the mini against the N7 myself.
The N7 is not built as well (though it appears to be getting better) and its screen is more washed out and smaller. Its also slightly heaver and slightly thicker and does not have a rear facing camera. It is also single band wi-fi, unlike the mini's dual band. However, its dpi is greater and its smaller and therefore easier to hold one handed or put in your pocket (not sure a bigger device would as the N7 is snug). The N7 has the more powerful innards and it uses a micro USB connector rather than a proprietary one, which means that you can get hard drives etc to connect more easily. The Nexus 7 has less apps, but it still has tens of thousands of them. The N7 is customisable, where as the Mini is not. Battery life for each is about the same.
One thing that is NOT the same is the price. A 32gb N7 with 3g is £239. An ipad mini of the same spec is £449. So, does £210 extra seem worth it for the ipad? For me it doesn't. But even if it did, I'd not get it as Apple have sucked of late in the way they have spent longer in a court room than in an R&D lab.
Even if you take out the price I would still buy the 7 over the mini. It has better specs and I couldn't ask for anything else for a tablet. Granted, it is a great looking tablet and build materials are top notch but it is not worth 100 dollars more than the 7.

Go for the N7, unless you want people call you "sheeps"
I own a Nexus 7 and an iPad 2. Personally I think the form factor as well as the materials the NExus 7 is constructed from especially when you include the Specs and pricing make it far superior to the iPad Mini. The Mini seems a bit wide for the average person to put in their pocket, the display is also non-retina (I am sure apple did this to keep cost down) which equates to a less crisp display. When looking at a 7" screen this really matter as this will be your primary web consumption device. I love the plastic back of the NExus 7 because I can put it down anywhere without worrying about scratching. So far as native tablet apps, I used to think the same thing and after reading this post I put my Nexus 7 down next to my iPad 2 and what I realized was that of course Apple makes some apps that are beautiful to look at (SOME) but the Android apps FUNCTION much more efficiently. Look at apps like Pintrest, Funimation, Plex and others. They are just more functional on the Nexus 7 and android devices.
All that said, if you are very vested into the Apple ecosystem and don't have an iPAD then the mini may b what you need. If you already have an iPad don't be redundant with an inferior device, the iPOD is better than the iPAD mini. Grab the Nexus 7 and begin your consumption.

At great risk of exposing my ignorance of the Apple ecosystem, I think Apple had a very good reason to keep resolution at 1024x768, matching the IPad 2 4:3 format. This is not as good for movies, but it maintains compatibility with existing Apps. Apple Apps don't scale, so they would have to be re-coded if the resolution changed. Retina display icons would just be too small in this format.
I am sure we have enough Apple agents here to correct me if I am wrong.

I own an iPad 2 and a N7. I absolutely love the N7 due to its portability, it easily fits in my pocket and I can carry it everywhere. I know the iPad mini is smaller than its larger counterpart but it is still not pocketable. The N7 does have great specs but the major disappointment for me was the lack of quality tablet apps. I don't see the point of having a quad core processor if apps don't take advantage of it. Sure its great and everything but I would choose better apps over better specs. App Store > Google Play store.

Which Galaxy Tab 2 is better?

I recommend the 7 cause it is a lot more portable, cheaper, might not have some fancy things as the 10.1 but it has great ROMs and now I just found this script someone made that will increase my memory because it swaps internal SD with external SD now I'm running 32gb of memory this tab is well worth the money and I saw at Walmart they sell it for 200 dollars now so yeah

I personally think if you are buying tab 2 than choose 7 inch model.
10 inch model is highly over priced.it just have 3inch extra(higher resolution) and all other specs are same.
So go and get 7" tab 2.believe of you will never regret your purchase.
If you want 10" consider 10" note or upcoming galaxy nexus 10.
Thank you for all the replies. So, in terms of specs, there is no particular differences between 7.0 and 10.1?

Yes no difference in two models except size and resolution.

go for the 7 inch. if you want a 10 inch model, i recommend buying the new nexus, or even a kindle hd, which is not 10" but have better specs. the tab 2 with 10 inches really should have an upgraded cpu at least.

So that means that I should just get the tab 2 7.0 because it has no differences between the 10.1 and its cheaper? The reason im buying a tablet is because i am getting only $500 from my school and idk which tablet is within this price.

Which is better in the long run? I prefer a bigger screen as I have big hands and I can see easily compared to a smaller screen.

I don't know, man... you want the speakers, you want a bigger screen... seems clear to me you want a 10 inch. I really don't get why're you asking, if you read your posts, all of them aim at you wanting de 10". Maybe you just haven't realized it yet.
To me, there's no "better than". 10 inch and 7 inch can accomodate very different situations... someone said "it's only 3 inches", but that's A LOT. That's almost the difference between a regular smartphone and a tab. And 43% extra. But at the same time, it's less portable, and more difficult to handle.
You have to choose, depending on the use YOU will give to it, so that's where you start. Watching videos, or the kind of apps... even how are you planning to carry it.
I like my 7", because I can watch videos, read news and e-mails one handed. It's a very comfortable size for playing games, as well. And I can carry it on my bag without having to remove anything of what I used to carry before. Eventually, I'm planning to get a belt-holster kinda thing. Some other people might prefer to sacrifice some mobility, to get some more screen real estate, and get a richer multimedia experience, but in my case, for those situations I jump to my laptop. 10 inches would be too close to its screen... the same way, if I had a Galaxy Note, a 7 inch would have been too close to my phone's screen (this is why my "gnote-owning" wife isn't interested in a tab).

Why i prefer a bigger screen is because I can see better and it is more of a comfort to use. But if the 10" isnt going to have a better specs than the 7", then I wouldnt have any choice other than the 7" because wasting money on something with **** specs isnt what i intended to do. How I am planning to carry it is simply just put it in my bag.
Same goes for me. If i had the 7" tablet, it will be really close to my screen because of my note being 5.3".
Then again, screen size is an issue but not a must for me. If the google nexus 7 is better than tab 2 10" in terms of specs, I will take that. I heard that it is running Jelly Bean, sounds cool.

I prefer the 7.0 because of portability. There are several ROMs to choose for already and you can now swap ext sd with internal SD!

If you have a Gnote, a 7-inch tablet is a little redundant. Nexus 10 / Note 10 would be a good option.

How's everyone liking Nexus 4

I had a nexus s, galaxy nexus and went to a Z10. I'm kinda missing my Android experience and apps. I originally wanted the nexus 4 nut got this and now thinking of trading. Is everyone pleased with their nexus 4?
First Android phone, definitely pleased!
//nexus⁴
Make the trade bud.. Ive come from a galaxy s 4g, then an s2, then an s3... I couldn't be happier with my decision to buy this phone.

I had the S3 for a week and hated it compared to my gnex.
Onky problem is I have about $150 in z10 cases lol
Definitely trade. Lots of ROMs to try out for this awesome phone.
Definitely better than Z10... using pure android is really a different experience after seeing Touchwiz or Sense
I heard it had bad panorama camera, is that true ?

Well if that is the deciding factor for you then you may need help , but no the panorama camera is just as good as any other and 4.2 has photosphere which is bada**
Nexus 4 is my 3. Android phone, and by far the best. Forget the cartoon like touchwiz or bloat filled sense. Pure 4.2 is IMO Much better.
In Denmark N4 cost the same as gs3 but I still think it's better value.

How's the screen? Cause on my Z10 the screen is pretty incredible

no, its not a deciding factor, Iam just putting out the cons, as YOU are NOT
This is my 5th android phone. Can't go wrong with the nexus line. I love this phone like a fat kid loves cake.
Although I'm currently awaiting a replacement phone as the touch screen went dead on mine... I suspect static buildup then an arc from my leg to the screen... So I might suggest setting the phone down when you know you will be around static buildup, as I now will.

The screen is amazing once you calibrate it. It's easily as good as the HOX and iPhone 5 and probably as good as the Z10 (even with the lower PPI). Overall this phone is brilliant taking everything into account, couldn't have asked for more.

Probably as good as the z10? You make it seem like the screen is better. Laughable.

Nexus is way better n4-quad-core 1.5ghz krait vs dual-core 1.5ghz krait, Graphics n4-andreo 320 vs andreo 225, n4-4.7" ips display 317ppi , z10- 355pp
Z10 has more PPI , smaller screen , Cost a lot more

I really like it now I'm used to it. The only problem is it keeps sliding off everything that's not perfectly straight
Is it basically a gakaxy nexus experience?
Get it. Root and tweak till your hearts content....This phone is ROM heaven and blindingly fast. Best phone iv had.
Its the best around...but don't wait to much longer to get it!

Prediction time ... when will we have a higher resolution Note 8?

I tried a nexus 7 and 10 before trying and keeping the Note 8. I love the size and feel, but do wish the resolution was a bit higher. 250 ppi would suffice.
So when will I get my wish? I actually don't care about the s pen. I'd love a fast, 4 core, high-res Tab 3 8. Go!
Note 8 only came out this year so I predict next year at the earliest.

It doesn't have to be a note though. A tab 3 variant or whatever.
I guess the new ipad mini would meet my requirements. Too bad it's a mac!

So..you're asking when an 8 inch, high PPI device is coming out? I'm guessing when the next iPad Mini hits.
I forgot who it was, but some company came out with a high res screen on a10" tablet with a Wacom digitizer, but if I remember right they are asking $699 for it. So there might be a reason we don't have high res screens.

I'd rather have the S-Pen than a higher resolution screen. But I wouldn't mind exactly the same device with a 1080p screen, 32GB flash, and a newer processor.

Nice. But too big. 8-9" is ideal for me in my opinion.
If the rumors are right it looks like the answer is the Slate 8 pro, hopefully later this fall.

True but aside from the upgraded display I note there's nothing mentioned about a digitizer or price point.
Article here.
Still early I grant you but nothing there for me.

The reviews I've read said it wasn't great.

I just don't understand why people hope to appear a new note 8.0 with a higher pixel density, the actual display is very good. I want displays to be more energy efficient rather than more ppi. And the processor is good enough for everything. For me is just marketing.

I mostly agree with you, but at 189 I still notice it sometimes when reading ssmaller fonts. Mid to low 200's is enough for me.

Technically, you are right. Realistically, the Galaxy S4 display spoiled me. Having said that, the Note 8 display is much better than my MacBook Pro for example, so it's nothing to sneeze at.

And the thing appears to have a Tegra 4 SoC. After the POS that the Tegra 3 was (personal experience), I don't think I'll be touching a Tegra SoC again. Samsung or Qualcomm for me, seems like they can be trusted to deliver high performance consistently.

I think we all just need to enjoy our current devices, that is the reason why we bought them, and yes no one will be disappointed by a newer display with a higher ppi on next Note 8. But we really need more efficient energy consumption on these devices so we don't feel that stress when your juice run out and you really need the device.

For me that display is not a reason to spend 600€ (Europe, doh... ) to upgrade from S3, if u have an older one, it's ok. So... everyone with their needs and budget.

Agreed. I came from the S3 to the S4 and the S3 display is excellent as well. But the S4 display is undeniably better, far more so than even the iPhone 5.
I have no issues paying more for a better note 8. I love my note but more flash memory 32 or 64gig would be nice and a higher res screen. Our screen looks great, its bright, colors and vibrant, and very clear but l can see the pixels and l would rather not.
Please samsung make us a PREMIUM 8inch tablet

Technically speaking, the current 8" Note is "premium" as there is nothing better on the market in the category. having said that, neither I nor would most people pay more money for an 8" tablet, considering that the Note 8 is already the most expensive one out there.
I know that's why l got the note but they could have done much much better. The note can be had for around $350 and sometime less. I would say $450 isn't out of reach for a kick butt 8inch note tablet. I know a few that would pay that
