The gyroscope won't do anything for speed.
Stick with your Nexus S, there is no need to change your phone every 2 months.
Better suggestion, learn some damn grammar and punctuation. Reading posts like that makes me want to punch something.

Were you strapped into a moving gyroscope while typing that?
1. A gyroscope does absolutely nothing "for speeds"
2. All that new 3d future gaming you're going to be doing on your phone that doesn't come equipped with a 3d capable screen in the first place? Sure, that gyroscope will be holding you back from that...
Sounds like someone was trying to make it sound like their nexus s is still top dog on the phone market. Sorry, it may have gingerbread, but its not anymore.
The lack of punctuation makes my eyes burn.
Topics with titles that don't cover it make me waste my time replying to it.
Uhh No if I want the atrix I will buy it and with a 2789 quadrant im happy with my nexus s good luck on updates.

Doesn't your Nexus S keyboard have any punctuation keys?
Buy a gaming system if you want games, games on cell phones these days are a bit ridiculous. Anything I am going to spend more than 10 minutes playing gets its own device, really how many types of games can you play well with only a touchscreen and gyro for input?
^Exactly.

None of the benchmark apps are multi-thread.
In before benchmarks are full of **** and never really show the true processing capability of the phone they are testing.

Ok - from a phone perspective, what's the difference between a "gyroscope" (which the Atrix does not have), and an accelerometer (which the Atrix does have)?

I hope nobody gets offended by me asking this, but is the galaxy tab 2 7.0 still worth getting right now? I was thinking of getting a 7 inch tablet with a rear camera. I don't need a super great camera because its more on taking pictures of receipts and docs. Maybe a few normal pictures. I know it has JB so that's great. Its has gps, bluetooth, otg, and the good stuff like that. I'm afraid that the tablet may have run its course already. Is the processor going to keep up much longer or will it be considered to far back like the 1ghz single core? I want to get it and last more than a year or a year and a half without problems on performance and stuff. I've seen the 8gb wifi version for around $170. Or should i wait for something else to pop up?

I do not have a ton of insight on the subject, but while I'm happy with my tab, other companies are producing tablets with better specs in the gtab 2's price range, and as some of them are much newer, like one of asus's new tabs, they might have a longer shelf life, support wise and hardware. Personally, i enjoy all the dev activity we have on this tab.
Edit: acer not Asus. Asus's 7 inch 150$ is lower in specs.

No tab is coming cheaper than this with specifications you desire.
Dunno,I think I will get a year of life out of this tab yet, my main gripe ids the screen res compared to modern devices, but I still use this one instead of my kfhd

My bad, i didn't realize the nexus 7 didn't have one. Acer's will though. And he did ask if any were going to be coming out.
And the reason i mentioned nexus is because i have been thinking of getting one.

Nexus 7 has no camera? Man, maybe that's why it has better specs than the Tab 2.
To answer OP's question, yep, I think this Tab is still worth getting. It's currently at the top of the list of the most tablets sold, beating even the Nexus 7.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Thats prolly cause most people dont really know bout the other tablets on the market. other than what they see on tv or in places like walmart or best buy.. lol
most people are like oh galaxy s3 or iphone this.. never hear someone say oh gotta get that new acer tablet lol
I say the tab 2 for the price. is still a pretty good deal. but i have no use for a wifi only tab. which i why i spent extra to get the 3100 instead.. still the cam sucks but for quick shots outside etc. its fine..
There are better tablets out there. and not so better tablets out there. the tab 2 is right in the middle. 179 on amazon for the wifi only.. pretty good deal to me.

I've just gotten the Galaxy Tab 2.0 7.0 (7") offered for 123 USD, is that a good deal? And sorry to bump the thread but is it still viable? Or should I just give the extra dough for one with higher resolution, would mostly use it for quick sketches and reading e-books.
Hey thanks everyone. I didn't want to jump into a tablet and then regret it, not because something better came out, but of the tablet not being up to par anymore.
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
I got a GT 2 7.0 few months ago. I considered Nexus 7 and waiting a little for other tablets to come out, but ultimately bought GT2 7.0.
1. Nexus 7 doesn't have external SD card support. If you are taking pictures, you would probably want to expand storage. And Nexus 7 doesn't have a rear camera.
2. There are other low-price 7-inch tablets coming out, like Asus Memopad (no rear camera) and Acers. But, you will never get to buy a tablet, because there will always be a new, cheaper, better tablets coming out.
3. Longevity of the tablet will depend on what you are using the tablet for. The specs and OS version do not determine how long it will last. Old smartphones (android/Apple/ others) will still work, if they are still capable of doing what you need them to do. Old Gingerbread/ICS android phones/tablets are still perfectly fine, because they still can run all the apps and do everything it should.
Specs also are a minor issue, because it will just mean that it will take few more seconds to load and run.
If GT2 7.0 will do everything you want it to and it makes sense financially, you should get it. If another tablet makes sense, you should get that one. If you are not looking to suddenly play graphic-intensive 3D games on the tablet, any tablet will last you a long time. From what you described, you may even be able to get by with a no-name brand tablets for cheaper. But, GT2 is a quality product and a good choice for the money you are going to spend.

4.5 GB internal storage for apps and such.
For those on the fence, how about a $138 Like New Tab 2 7.0 shipped from Amazon Warehouse? Check it out.
The only problem with this device is the screen (it is only a MDPI). In the future, Google will only be supporting HDPI and above I think.. So, probably no Key Lime Pie for the Tab 2.
The rear camera on Tab 2 lacks AF, so it is useless for trying to get clear captures of receipts or even scanning QR codes, which the threadstarter did mention was a reason to consider Tab 2.

there are always optimizations that can make thing a little better. most of the optimizations(like dalvik) on nexus phones would be propritary. plus the cpu is a more recent revision(among other things).

I agree. Android should be optimised for the Nexus range ONLY, like Apple do with iOS. Only then will it ever be a perfectly smooth experience.
If other companies wanna put out 15 Android phones a year, then they should do their own optimisations to ensure it runs properly.

They do do their own optimizations... they optimize their Android manufacturer skins (TouchWiz, HTC Sense, etc)
It may feel faster but that's only cos of the transitions HTC have added in, they have minimised many that are in stock android and sped up a few as well, thus overall giving the illusion that it runs faster :L

I had no intentions of experiencing VR in the near future but I found the Viewmaster VR for 25$ and got one for my daughter. Gotta say, its pretty sweet. Its basically a better made google cardboard setup. There are plenty of free apps to try and I'm pretty impressed by the experience. Im sure the Gear VR is better for many reasons, but for 25$ its a must for show off and really educational reasons. Google street has a VR mode and allows users to upload photospheres from places, monuments, and landmarks from all over the world(VR is not necessary to view btw). I was looking up at the Great Pyramid of Giza this morning!
If anyone has found some cool apps or had a good experience feel free to share. Merry Christmas.
