Nexus 7 vs Galaxy Tab 2?

Hey Guys.
New to the nexus 7 forums. But, i wanted to ask a simple question..

Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2??
Well, Nexus 7 is pretty cheap and i've been wondering why.

Obviously Nex7 because you will be able to update it to android 5.X.X when it comes out.

Has this been confirmed somewhere? The N7 doesn't have expandable storage, which means if I buy it would have the be the 16GB one.

Yup. It has no micro-sd card.
But can we still copy files on it?
Sorry for that n00b question.
BTW, anyone knows when it's out in dubai or india?

If you can live with 16gb then the nexus is the better choice. Tab 2 has an older processor and inferior screen.

I considered the Tab 2 as it was the same price as the 16gb N7 (both $249) and it had expandable storage. I bought the N7... I feel I made the right choice.

I guess i'll consider the n7 more than the tab 2.
it has usb mass storage right?

If you root it and get an OTG adapter. I bought two for like $1.50 with free shipping.

Dubai Dubai 16GB AED 1299
India India 16GB INR 21465
I don't live in either of those areas so don't know how reputable the retailers are, But a quick search on Google and thats what I found

After buying an N7 on release date and within 3 weeks my screen cracking to bits I too am wondering which is the better tab. Agreed the N7 has better specs power wise but, I think that the galaxy tab will have superior build quality including gorilla glass which is now my main concern.

How did that happen? Thanks

Guys,
A small question. If i buy a N7 but doesn't hav a Wifi router or a broadband at home, can i use it with USB data card?

yes,at the cost you buy an usb-on the go cable,you can mount and use a usb key,a data storage hdd or also some internet keys especially huaweii's

If you want to use 3G,You need to buy a 3G+Wifi Nexus 7 which is a few dollars more than the original one. Check here.

I bought both!!! Tab 2 for my aunt Sally because I could use Team viewer Quick Support (only supports Samsung) to help her remotely. N7 for myself. Played with both and without a doubt N7 wins hands down!!!!!

Looks like the Nexus 7 is winning more votes.
Since it's even getting more development.
I like aosp for that reason

Nexus 7 gaming TABLET???

Is the N7 is a good tablet for Gaming?
I thinking on getting tablet but the main use would be for gaming.
Or should I get another tablet?
The price of this tablet is one cheaper out there, if have you have another option tell me.
Thanks in advance.

Lol really? Let see, 4 core tegra 3, 1.3 GHz, 1gb ram, hogy 12 gpu.
Short answer is yes.

I game on mine pretty often. Plays pretty much anything.

It's a perfect tablet for portable gaming
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

All I have to really say is Tegra 3. 1GB of RAM? No problem. Small device.
I mainly ONLY use mine for gaming. Perfect size and it runs smoothly.

Thanks for your help, I'm getting N7 soon.

Anytime the Nexus 7 can handle anything you throw at it gamewise.
Sent from my Nexus 7

I have had no problems at all with my nexus plays anything and everything easy. I find 7" easier than 10" for tablet gaming.
My one recomendation would be get the 32gb nexus cause 16 aint enough if your gaming. Most games are coming in around 2gb each for the top games anyway.

Best tablet for gaming <3

If it was a 412MHz ARM9 with a Adreno 130 I'd we worried. Its a Quad Core T30L so tamed are pretty smooth with only a few dropped frames.
Sent from my MB525 using xda app-developers app

Yep, I strictly use mine for gaming.

I like to think of my Nexus 7 as a "Multimedia Consumption Device"
I use it for Gaming, Movies, FB, Music, Instagram, YouTube, Tumblr, you name it. If it's gaming, social, pictures, music or video it's on my Nexus.

It'll be just fine for anything.

My wife has a LG Optimus 4X HD P880
Hardware wise its very similar..
But also has better battery life than my Nexus 4
Physical touch sensitive area/buttons at the bottom (compared to soft buttons inside the screen in Nexus 4 which I dont like anymore)
and expandable storage.

Get the optimus g, it has lte and expandable storage. You can also convert it to a nexus 4 from what I've heard, as it has the same exact internals...

Nexus 10 is not a phone and it doesn't have expandable storage.

The HTC First allows you to turn off Facebook Home, leaving you with unskinned Android.
I'm pretty sure it's got external storage?

{?} About MC4

Does anyone know why on my nexus 4 it shows the extra graphics/ effects but doesn't on my nexus 7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

GPU
its because the adreno 320 is a much better gpu then tegra 3 i think its about 2.5x stronger so if gameloft put max graphics on nexus 7 it would lag

Wrong by a long shot!!! Tegra is one of the best CPU's around, just gotta tweak it. Also for your answer try a different ROM and kernel. Should help!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I own both a nexus 7 and N4 and the nexus 4 is a lot faster even with the n4 CPU @800 and n7 CPU @1500 its still faster than the n7 in graphics
EDIt: anyone with a brain knows S4Pro is a. much stronger soc than tegra 3 do you work for nvidia or something oh yeahs when's the last time nvidia released drivers that's right never

Is there any way to improve the graphics?

You can find modded APKs (I am not gonna link them) but 90% of the time they won't work. You can try editing some config file in the data directory. Dunno which though.

[Q] Difference KOT49H Nexus 4 & 5

I'm bit confused about the difference between KOT49H for nexus 4 and Nexus 5 (beside GEL and camera HDR+). Since I saw some custom ROM that porting or merging both ROM. is nexus 5 KOT49H somehow better than for Nexus 4?
I am curious like to try one of those ROM, but it seems all of them are the same. maybe someone can help me which rom to start with?
Thanks

Oh.. I apologize for not reading it correctly. IMO, its 95% same. There are some small features that are exclusive to Nexus 5 device.

Thank you sir. Yes last night I try one of those Nexus 5 experience/ Nexus 5 porting ROM, but an't see much difference with stock Nexus 4 KOT49H.

because its the same besides gel.
the exclusive features(besides gel) are hardware dependent so you cant use on n4.
