How does the screen compare to the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1.? I know people say that the Galaxy tab screen is over saturated but that is a good thing to me because the colors pop more, and I seen a comparison video of the 2 and the galaxy tabs screen is much brighter not that it matters because I usually turn down the brightness, i just want to know if it's a really close call or does the Samsung blow it away?

All I'm gonna say is, between the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Transformer, you shouldn't base your decision of buying which on the screen. Both have their good points and bad points.

Well, the Transformer has a MicroSD slot while GTab 10.1 don't. The GTab 10.1 is lighter, thinner.

I think the Sammy has a better screen overall. It is brighter and has deeper colors. But not by a lot. In my use of the Sammy 10.1 in stores, it did seem more responsive overall, and in comparison it seems I have to touch a bit harder to get the TF to register inputs. But I do agree the displays are close enough it really isn't the thing one should hinge their decision on.

That may be true...I've had my TF for a few days now and beyond the cool YouTube app, don't see much more I can't already do on my Samsung Infuse...I like the experience but I could spend the $400 on something more practical right now...itvis a fine unit but considering taking it back...

I think it comes down to a few things. The extra $100 you "save" with the TF, the microsd expansion, and the dock. If none of these matter to you, then you may want to get the Tab 10.1.
I use the TF as my main computer, so I could not live without the expansion space and most importantly the dock. Typing messages like this are such a breeze.

No! the transformer blows it away
The Samsung screen is sickly, samsung saw the negative reviews of the xoom about how flat the colors were and went to far the other way! It's gross!
The overall spec of the Tab is another joke, they read about ipad thin and decided to go thin, in fact it's so thin there's no room for anything, micro sd, hdmi.
What's the point in that

Actually, that's not at all true. While the number of Honeycomb-optimized apps are still around 300, most Android apps run on Honeycomb just find. They might not take great advantage of the larger screen, but they scale just fine in most cases and are fully functional.
I use my TF for 95% of what I used to use a notebook for. That couldn't possibly be true if Web browsing was all Honeycomb is good for at this point.
Hi guys! Just wanted to share my experience with the P6800. For weeks I've been using this as my main video player. I had an iPhone 4 & Galaxy Note before and currently sporting a Galaxy S3. Also had an iPad 2. I mentioned them because earlier today, just for fun, I copied a bluray video (The Pacific mini series episode 7 in 1080p bluray mp4 format). I just had to try and play the file in different gadgets all at the same time. I even included my Alienware M11x in the mix.
So there I was in my room, each gadget faced towards me with their respective stands. I asked my brother and sister to help me play them all at the same time. I was astonished to what I witnessed. So I am ranking the video playback according to how beautiful it is to watch on, and all of us 3 agreed. No picture or video will do justice on how beautiful the screen is on the P6800, you really need to be there personally to see its majesty.
Results (by ranking):
1. Galaxy Tab 7.7
2. Alienware M11x
3. Galaxy S3
4. iPad 2
5. Galaxy Note
6. iPhone 4
Reasons (my opinion at least):
Galaxy Tab was easily the best to view a video of that caliber. The colors were really streaking out of the screen and the level of detail was just amazing. M11x came second because although it was very crispy, the lack of color kinda ranked it below but I'm sure there are people who prefer less vivid and more realistic colors, its just that the 7.7 really made the scenes come alive. Galaxy S3 was next because it was like a tiny version of my 7.7. iPad 2 faired okay but pixelated from time to time even though it's already bluray and it lagged a bit. Galaxy Note... wow I expected more from this one but the black clipping/artifacts just turned me off, still good during daylight scenes though (I believe it is an issue for the Galaxy Note, Samsung please fix it with the Note 2). Lastly the iPhone 4, need I say more?
Anyway I am about to sell my 7.7 since iPad Mini is coming out and I really need an iDevice to keep in touch with my relatives since EVERYONE in my clan uses Apple products (which sucks since I love Samsung's products), just that I really need FaceTime (we converse a lot, its ridiculous LOL). I will surely miss the little fella, might buy it again though after getting the iPad Mini (unless it has retina display), just can't live without that beautiful screen! for now I'll just keep my S3 close by. Salute to the P6800 society! :good:
for how much? can i get for half the price? lol kidding
am about to upgrade from the original p1000, never, ever, even for a second, i thought about ipads or whatever they do... take my advice, keep the beast, you won't regret mate (ics is already here) .

The 7.7 screen is, indeed, awesome and that's why I made my mind early on about the 7.7.
My main hobby (...at a very advanced level...) is photography and there's simply no other tab around that features the contrast of the 7.7.
This said, I must point out that the white point of the display is quite "warm".
I would love for manufacturers to understand how critical image display can be for some users and come up with a in-built feature (...or a 3rd party app...) to allow for display calibration.

I use the standard setting.
Dynamic artificially boosts chroma and Movie dilutes contrast (a sign that they have little knack for naming, as contrast is, probably, the single most important item for cinematic purposes)

I am thinking of buying a nexus 7 because my galaxy player 5.0 is showing its age and is lagging terribly with current games ( it only has 512mb ram and 1ghz core) and would the nexus 7 be a good choice for me. I would prefer a small tablet/ Phablet phone but nothing more than 300$.
I would mostly use it for gaming and web browsing and maybe some rom developing . Would this be a good choice for the money, or are there better devices for the money? Thanks!
The N7 is a power house when it comes to gaming, the Tegra 3 runs all games flawlessly and is the best value for money.
Only thing that you need to keep in mind are some of the screen issues many people here are experiencing.

Yeah you should read up on the problems some of the folks have had with the screen, and decide whether or not it's worth the risk of getting a bad unit. My roommate had bought an N7 before me, and hers didn't seem to have any problems at all. I still inspect mine every day looking for screen lift or crackling speakers, but have found nothing.
Yeah go for it, like others have already said the N7 is perfect for what your wanting to do on it, websites and gaming.

What are you smoking and where can I get some? Gaming is fantastic on this device. It's the developers who aren't fixing their games for jelly bean.
Go ahead and get one! I can't really see a reason not to.
I love mine to bits, even more than my old Transformer
I checked 6 tablet today..... The all suck, and pixelated, lagish....
Slow, and borring....
Except 2.
N7 and ipad.
Ur choice?
I think the Nexus 7 is the best android tablet in terms of hardware and software. Coming from an iPad, I can say I am most satisfied with my purchase.

Sorry its all for me.... It's called S3. I play a lot and it is much better for gaming. Dead Trigger looks better and runs smoother then on the 7.

Wait until the holidays to buy a Nexus 7. They say it is going to be $99 dollars for the version now, and it will be $199 for a newer version that will be thinner with a smaller bezel, etc.
I really like the nexus 10 and I know this forum may be a little bias, but I am debating selling my tf300 with dock for a nexus 10.... thoughts/opinions welcome!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Depends on what you really need. I had the infinity and the nexus 10 is miles ahead of it in my opinion.
300 pros:
-Keyboard dock with extended battery
-Expandable storage
-Insanely fast charging times
Cons:
-Slow I/o
-Rear speaker
-Tegra 3 (if you want to count this..)
Nexus 10 pros:
-Screen
-Battery (not comparing it to the Asus+dock)
-Front speakers
-Insanely fast
Cons:
-Slow battery charging (6 hours on full)
-Some games run slow due to the amount of pixels to push plus not yet optimized for the N10.
-No expandable storage
In the end it boils down to what you need, but I love my N10 and am not sugar coating it in any way. I tried the tf300 first, returned that for a 700. Decided I'd compare it to a note 10.1 and returned both and got the N10.

Define issue with web browsing? Do you mean laginess or sluggidhness? If so the n10 has none. It loads web sites very fast and has no touch or input lag via on screen keyboard.

I'll let you know. I currently use the TF300 (stock), but am annoyed with the sluggishness concerning web browsing, e-mail, etc. My Nexus 10 is coming tomorrow. Hopefully it will be better.
Although I must say that I was reading about the Boat Browser somewhere on these XDA forums, and I had never heard of this browser before. I installed it a couple of days ago and it definitely improves the browsing experience on the TF300. Give it a try.

Take this for what its worth....I am a geek and have had 5 different tablets over the past few years. The loved my tf101 w dock...I absolutely loved my transformer . I skipped the prime, my tf101 was still rockin....my transformer died and I saved up the money for the infinity tf700 with dock. I absolutely hated it. It was like there was always something slowing it down and it made me think I just had a bad unit. Did some research and found out that after the prime Asus had a bit of an io issue with the memory , the infinity inherited the issue.
Got my nexus on Thursday and I love it like I loved my transformer compared to a gtab ....the difference between the nexus and the infinity are like daylight and dark. I also have to say its really badass having aosp in a perfect state...no cm or akop issues....love cm love akop but you all know what I mean. My point is...I love this tab compared to the infinity...screen is beautiful , proc is next gen, and jb4.2 is smooth as butter on this device...so many little things cleaned up, this may be the best android version yet.

If storage is your main concern, stick with the TF300, or better yet upgrade to the TF700. If it isn't, upgrade to Nexus 10. I came from a TF700 and the difference is staggering. Screen is much nicer, sound is much louder (and stereo placement!!!).
I've also owned the original Transformer, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (still one of best tablet designs hands down), the Prime and only the GT10.1 comes close to the Nexus 10 in terms of build quality (I wonder why ).
I'd recommend the TF300 over the TF700 for a few reasons, and neither over the N10.
Why the TF300 over the 700? It's less expensive, it's far more comfortable to use for long periods thanks to the not-sexy but also not-stupid plastic construction, more resistant to wear and abuse as a result, and it's not trying to whip a Tegra 3 into running 1080p resolution it is not suited for.

I'm selling my TF300 today on eBay. I put a couple of other TF300s on my watch list just to see what they were going for. It looks like the tablet is going for the low to mid $200's. I don't know about the keyboard as I don't have one so didn't put it on the watch list. Also, if you decide to sell yours before Monday, eBay is doing a deal where if you sell an item through the eBay mobile app, you can sell it for free.
I played with the Nexus 10 for about an hour or so this morning. My initial impressions are that it is very zippy compared to the TF300. I remember first getting the TF300 and turning it on. All my apps starting downloading in the background automatically and while they were downloading and installing, the TF300 got really slow and laggy. With the Nexus 10, it was doing all that downloading and installing in the background and it was still silky smooth.
Overall, it's a much better device. The screen is obviously sharper. It is very quick to switch screens, cycle through apps, etc. If there's any lag, I couldn't perceive it. Browsing with the Boat and Chrome browsers is definitely zippier. When you scroll down a page, especially one with pictures, you can tell it just scrolls much more smoothly. I never saw that annoying "waiting for the browser to respond" which I normally saw at least once or twice per hour on the TF300. Anyway, that's all I've really done with it. I only use it for browsing and e-mail (I don't game on tablets), and for those purposes it is definitely a nicer, smoother machine than the TF300- which should be expected for its price and the advance in technology over the older device.
Stay away from Asus and the Transformer line. I'm telling you. They don't know how to write software, and they don't support their devices. I gladly sold my TF201 for the N10 and it was the best decision I've made. You've been warned.
I had the TF700 and was very disappointed. The i/o power just wasn't there. Most noticeable on web browsing - major lag. I sold it and so far I am quite happy with the Nexus 10 performance.
I had a TF700T / Infinity for close to 2 months -- just returned it this morning to Best Buy (reward zone silver -- 60 days to decide). I went back and forth on this a lot before returning it. My Infinity and dock didn't have any of the build issues that some have described -- no creaking, no screen lift, etc. The overall build seemed excellent, and overall the Infinity looks and feels like an incredible premium device. I also really liked the expandable storage and the extra battery power in the dock, and it really has a great display. When it worked, it was sweet -- but I ran into frequent lags, browser freeze-ups, slow app updates and file transfers, etc. I knew it was possible to unlock, root and flash a custom ROM to get better performance -- but I really didn't want to HAVE to do that just to make the device usable, especially since the combination of tablet and dock cost me about $650.
Reading through the TF700 sub forums, it seemed that about half the users had good experience using NvFlash and custom ROMs, but a significant number of folks reported frozen devices, boot loops, etc -- more than I'm used to seeing in most XDA sub forums. It seems to me that the device really wasn't intended to be easily flashable -- and easily recoverable in the event of issues. If I'm going to be flashing custom ROMs to my tablet, I'd rather it be a device sold with this in mind. Having used a Nexus phone (Galaxy Nexus) for the past year, I can attest to the fact that it's virtually impossible to brick this beyond the ability to wipe and start over. I appreciate this about Nexus devices.
I wish the Nexus 10 had expandable memory, and it would be nice if a pogo pin based charger option would be sold soon. Despite this, everything I read convinced me to return my Infinity today and order a Nexus 10.
Well it seems pretty unanimous for the nexus 10, as expected!!! I took the first steps and sold my tf300, now just trying to sell the keyboard dock. I am stoked about getting the nexus 10. Cant wait for it to be back in stock... thanks again for all the great info and personal experience!

I just went from the OG 10.1 to the 10.1 2014... When I first bought my 10.1 last year, I was very tempted to bring it back because I hated the screen. I soon realized that I loved the device as a whole, though. I got a TON of use out of it. I couldn't give it up and I got over the screen for a while. Once I heard there was going to be a updated version coming and then they announced it was the same screen as the Nexus 10, I was sold immediately. When you are trying to read smaller text on the OG 10.1 screen, you strain your eyes because the pixel density is just not there. Everything looks grainy. Once you see the screen on the 10.1 2014, its a game changer. You can't go back. I swear it hurts my eyes to look at the OG 10.1 now.
All that screen comes with a price though. I still feel there are things that the OG 10.1 handles betters just because it doesn't have to push all of those pixels on the screen. There are times when the 10.1 2014 will have some random chugs and video video performance and I def think it's because of the extra resolution it has to process. Either way, the device in general is very fast and multi-tasks like a champ. I know for me it was a no-brainer to upgrade. But that might vary for different people and their financial situations.
Hope that helps
That helps a lot. Im going to go pick up one tomorow if the screen really helps with reading. By the way, I hope you dont work for Samsung lol.

I have the gen 1 Note 10.1 and absolutely love it. Is the new 2014 Note a worthwhile upgrade? In particular, are the screen and speed much better?

Haha good call... If I did, it would be silly for me to point out it's flaws to obviously
Read the Note 2014 review as many as possible before you decide to upgrade.
I'm going to say Hell yes! The upgrade is worth it. Just for the screen it's worth it.. But improved s-note is great too. It feels like a much more premium tablet than last year's model in my opinion. Speed I don't notice much difference if anything the new version is a bit laggier but I see that getting fixed with software updates and it's fine for what I use it for the most. As a notebook for school

I went ahead and got it. The screen is indeed much nicer. It is quite large though. I find that snote in particular is much slower.

Large? You're comparing to original 10.1, how can this be large?
Sorry meant laggy. Damn autocorrect.

The speakers on the old Note 10.1 are actually pretty good. How are the the speakers on the 2014 edition compared to the old version?

They are not as good because they are no longer on the front.

They're a lot better compared to if they were located in the back. In my opinion, the location of the speakers on the 10.1 2014 is well justified for the slimmer bezel. Of course, this is a personal choice. Some people don't mind huge bezels (e.g., new Nexus 7).
I just got the 2014 ed. a few days ago, still getting used to it. I like that it's lighter and the screen is awesome. I'm not jazzed about the physical buttons and it's not as responsive. However, now that it's sporting a proper display I can pass down the Nexus 7 to the kids and use the Note tablet for reading as well. I'm really looking forward to Google Play Magazines on it. I'll try to remember to post more as I go. The higher storage capacity is nice also.
I own a first gen Note 10.1 GT-N8013.
The updates on the G-Note 10.1 2014 has struck my interest and I would really like to own one but............
The problems that are being reported with speaker gills and IR blasters being loose, lag issues and the Knox counter issue for root has put out that fire in me.
I may wait til next year or at lease wait for all the bugs to be worked out.

Valid concerns.
Holding out for Note 12.2" with Snapdragon 800 to arrive in the US. Coming from original Note 10.1 10.1" doesn't do the pen justice plus it's small for a device that requires two hands and miss the stability. Never once experienced a random reboot or hang which happens, although rare, even with Nexus 7, 7 2013 and 10. 2014 will be very interesting, too,with A57 ARMv8 64-bit variants on ~16nm node and 4GB+ DRAM. Like to see more AutoCAD like apps like CATIA.
How are you guys dealing with the changes to MultiWindowing? I miss cascade mode. Although, I think someone here has a way to show more than 2 apps at a time. Still looking for that.

You can have more than two, and any app, by using pen window manager (needs root).
