Note 2 or tab 7.7 with s3 lte

Note 2 lte is coming to singapore. And i have just enough to get an s3. I had a note and loved it but it sucks to try take a picture with a monstrous 5.5 inch. Should i sell my tab 7.7 to go back to my old love. Or get a s3 and keep my tab?
Games and movies are what i mostly do... And messaging

Ive sold my 7.7 and bought nexus 7. Never looked back, and never will buy samsung tablet again, if you need proper device, wait for next nexus phone

On the contrary i sold my nexus 7 for 7.7. Micro sd card slot. What is google thinking with the 8gb. And games weighing in at close to 2 gb now.

I have a 16GB version, its all about usage, if I need more GBs I can connect my 32GB usb flash drive. But speed of nexus mind blowing..

Yes. Project butter in my opinion is a huge success

hello
a 5.5 inch should be more fun for games, and it's more portable than the 7.7, but for movies, nothing, literary nothing in the mobile market can match the 7.7

I would need to sell my tab to get the jote 2.. I have enough for an s3 though.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

If you can only afford one device then get the Note 2 for you will need to use it everywhere and 7 inch tablets are too big to be carried around and used as a phone.
There is not much difference between the Note 2 and the S3 in terms of portability, so you might as well get the Note 2 with the larger screen for all of the advantages that gives.
Also, there is not much difference between the Note 1 and Note 2, so you could afford to get the Note 1 and keep the 7.7.

I had the note, sold it and it was my biggest regret ever...
I am looing to conjure money and get note 2 and keep the tab haha.

I had the original Note for a 2 months and I couldn't get used to the size. Like, when I went to Starbucks in the morning, and everyone had their ipoop's out, I felt ashamed taking out the GIGANTO.
Its like I was holding a Tablet

I have a tab 7.7 and a note 2 and if i should choose between these i would def go for the tab.
The note is faster, has a better camera but the screen of the tab is so much crisper and prettier. There is no other device that can compair to that.
Also its so much better browsing on the size of the tab, games even look better.
I would miss my tab much more
Tbh, i bought the note 2 thinking i would have a tab 7.7 experience in my pocket but it cant make up to that for me.

I have two Notes (N7000 and i717), a Nexus 7 and a P6800. Can't replace a good tablet with a phone. I'd take the S3 International over the Note 2.

N4 or S3

Deciding between the nexus and s.
Nexus has better processor, display and software. S3 is overall good and it has a sd slot. The cheapest S3 i found was around 420. Im guessing the nexus is gonna be around 390 after tax.
Help me decide!

You think the S3 has better hardware? Seems obvious to me that the N4 has better hardware (unless you mean microsd slot or LTE or something)

Thx. Post fixed

The S3's screen blows. That's enough for me to get the N4.. But yeah if you really need the expandable memory go for the S3. I have like 4 or 5GB of music and mostly use pandora, and no TV, I just use Netflix, so I'm fine with 16GB. Also I think the S3's build is really crappy, it feels like really flimsy plastic. I like that the Nexus 4 has a glass back (although bad if you drop it). Also stock 4.1.2 is a plus, you'll always have the newest version of android and no touchwiz.

I agree with guster I dislike the screen on the s3. If you don't need more than 16GB or a removable battery get the n4

I sold my GS3 last week for the Nexus. I didn't really like the way the GS3 felt. Too light and didn't feel solid. I also didn't feel that the AOSP ROMs were very solid.

Moving from the S3, to the Nexus 4

Hello all
Just wondering if anybody has switched their S3 for the Nexus 4? and what are your thoughts?
I am going to selling my S3 and obtaining a Nexus 4 simply because it looks amazing, and vanilla android is a bonus..
Your thoughts?

Try asking in the nexus 4 forum

Not the S3 but I did go from the S2 and yes it is an amazing device

There are already a handful of threads about the very same subject.
Thoughts on selling S3 for Nexus 4

Nexus 4 vs Galaxy s3
Reason not to sell the S3 for the Nexus 4

Good point, can a mod please move this to the Nexus 4 forum?

I have both. The nexus feels and looks better. Other than build quality I can't see why I'd keep the GS3. My nexus has a slight rattle. So it will swapped for a replacement.
The GS3 doesn't feel as nice to hold. Even the GS2 beats it for feel. The os is better and I prefer the camera on the nexus. I think it is quicker too. It feels sharper.
It is all down to personal preference. The GS3 is still amazing, maybe its the fact the Nexus is new is the reason I prefer it. The expandable storage is nice and the removable battery, but I find its not as important as I thought it would be so I'm not missing it.

I'm gonna wait till next year's nexus. Between the SGS3 and the nexus 4 there isn't enough difference in hardware to justify a change.
You want to have android 5.0 when it comes out? Me too, and I will get it with the next nexus.
Similar screen, same battery, same camera, also quad core, etc. I'm very happy with the SGS3 right now.
16GB is definitely not enough for me.

The nexus 4 is indeed tempting, but the s3 now has some rather useful features in the latest 4.1.2 update. Multiwindow for example, is great for watching YouTube while browsing. Sure, vanilla android will probably get multiwindow eventually, but that wouldn't happen until Key lime pie, at least.

Believe it or not but I "require" some of these touchwiz features now, and these features are not in the market, they could be but don't nearly come to what the quality Samsung have.
Never thought I would say this but I love Touchwiz haha.

No surprises there, after years of using third party launchers and most recently Nova Prime, I'm now using TouchWiz for the first time on the S3 after owning all previous versions.

Well I got the Nexus tonight, and I absolutely love it, still got my S3 but she is being sold tomorrow, I don't think I've ever loved a device so much.

Nexus 4 looks boring and breakable... glad the 4.1.2 update gave our s3 new features

To tell you the truth the only thing I miss of my s3 is the screen I compare it next to each other and the colors look better but you get used to the nexus 4

Colours on the S3 are overly saturated to me, I prefer the natural looking colours on the nexus.

Not even 1 year yet, my S3 good enough for this time, now target Nexus 7 tablet.

I'm not moving but I've ordered a N4 just to see what it's like I'll keep both, it will be interesting to how much they are different, both have good and bad points.
Sent from Galaxy S3 using xda premium

I don't need to read the Nexus 4 specs to know I'll never consider it, because Nexus = No SD slot and that's why I've crossed Nexus devices that haven't even been thought up yet off my list of possibilities.

Touch wiz features are amazing. I'd get a nexus as a second phone as I don't like pure android as much as jelly bean with touch wiz. Probably I'd use a lumia as a second device rather than a nexus though. The only bonus to a nexus is the extra smoothness gained through less bloat of unnecessary fat that I hope Samsung will trim away in the next few updates.

One man's food is another man's poison. And too many people comment merely based on hearsay. I have both and love them equally. I have been a CM user since CM 6 and N4 scores hands down there. Still, that may not be the clinching factor for you!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I'm personally selling my N4 and intend to get a GS3. I find that I'm consistently worried about how fragile the Nexus 4 is. Not to mention I would really like to get expandable storage back, 16GB just doesn't give me enough.

[Q] Does it worth duying a Nexus 7

Hello,
I am thinking of buying a nexus 7, but I don't know if it worths the money.
I mean I love nexus family but there are many tablets going out nowadays and
I don't know which to peak.
I am seeking for advices whether is a good tablet or I should buy another tab.
Any suggestions apriciated .
Thanks in advance.

AW: [Q] Does it worth duying a Nexus 7
I would recommend to buy it, it's great
But if you can wait a few months, wait until the Google I/O, maybe they will publish an update of the nexus 7 :good:
Sent from my SK17i running Android 4.1.2

I would honestly recommended the nexus. Its by far the best 7 inch tablet out there and it can even easily compete with the 10 inch ones. Its perfectly suitable for my everyday needs and the quad core processor is blistering compared to these sluggish dual Core ones
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Yes , I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus 7.
I also believe that the new Samsung note 8 will be a great competition
for the nexus.
I am worried about the problems that I have read over the forum
and about the 1gb ram I think it needs more.

Honestly you can't go wrong buying a Nexus 7, specially the price.

what kind of feedback are you expecting from a forum dedicated to people who love their nexus 7? this is like going to a mazda dealership and asking them if it's worth buying a mazda.

Agree with the post above mine, but the reason I bought the 7 specifically is due to the price. For $250 there isn't a better device available.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

You get great specs at the best price point out there. What is it not to love, and what makes the decision so hard. For the 7 inch form factor, it has no rival nowadays. If you're looking for a bigger display, a better resolution go with the nexus 10, galaxy tab 2, galaxy note 10.1 etc.

No, I don't think you should dye the nexus, but in all honesty you should buy it

Just like the "Secret Garden" that had been growing without any care or management, locked behind a door.
Actually it was horrible looking until it was "opened up" and cleared and replanted. Put Android on that iPad

I have an ipad2, a TF700T and two Nexus 7s. The Nexus 7's are my favorites. Right size, right price, right speed. Tad heavy. So far not the smallest glitch in either one. One is a 32gig wi-fi, the other is a 32gig wi-fi/ATT.
Zero buyers remorse on this purchase.

In all seriousness, the Nexus 7 is a great tablet period. I was kidding about the Ipad.

Bought the nexus 7 32GB today, this thing is great. Office Max had the Asus TF300 10.1" 32GB for $250. I'm glad I went with the nexus 7. Now when I use my galaxy nexus it feels small, lol.

Wait for the next generation. 1080p screen and should get a nice performance boost too. the current Nexus 7 is really starting to get slow with its crappy sd and cpu performance.

And when?
I apologize if I missed any.
For me, probably the S4..maybe by the end of the year.
EDIT: Probably will get the N4 soon.

My contract ends next year in march so the next nexus phone probably or the galaxy note 3

I will dismiss my Nexus S with broken screen on Christmas.. probably Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 600 (for a good price) but I have to look at Nexus 5 before I decide (LG?? Motorola?? specs??)

So... I can't buy a new phone like s4, butterfly or one... I need to buy in second hand from Android forums (Android PT).
BTW. I need something bigger and with a better resolution (540x960 min.).
So I looking for a galaxy nexus or something with a bigger camera... but galaxy nexus still my favorite.
PS: we don't have the nexus4 here in Portugal! So.... galaxy nexus ; )

...mmmh... will be traumatic move from an Nexus (specifically) to an iPhone... how do you do a full-wipe?? I can't live without CWM hahahahaha
Sorry about that post just for laugh..

Probably Sony Xperia Z, the IP57 certification is a plus for me.

Got myself a Galaxy S3. Got a decent price for a decent phone. Sorry Nexus S, but you were just too slow for me.

I'm looking at the S4, possibly the S4 Mini (if it's announced). My contract is up in July so I have a bit of time. I would like to stay with a Nexus, so maybe I'll wait for the Nexus 5 announcement and hope that it's not boring.

Nexus 4 probably, as I'm only 16 years old and don't have a huge budget. Maybe a Nexus 5 if it will be as money-saving as the Nexus 4!
Me Gusta!

N4 is on the way

Don't think you can go wrong with the N4: A competitor phone with great specs and even a greater price of $300. The demand for it speaks for itself.
