the new designed tab (8.9 n 10.1) has been announced. i like the new look very much, n sdcard is now available, but sadly the camera has been downgraded to 3mp =( n it looks a bit lag in the video by androidcentral in youtube..
n, is 8.9 using tegra cpu?
anyone think i shud jump to xoom iinstead?
I think I'm firmly on the new 10.1 Tab right now. 3 MP camera is something I can live with, in exchange for the slimness and weight. I think they displayed an older build (10.6 mm) thickness, with TouchWiz on it on the AC video. So, I don't want to jump to conclusions on the lag

Samsung hasn't revealed the CPU their tabs will be using.
The tab cameras still beat the iPad 2's ones.

Yes but when compared to all the other Android tablets, the rear camera is the worst. Even worst then any smartphone out last year and now.

But why in the world would you ever need a 8MP camera on your 10" tablet??? Is there ever a time when you have your tablet with you and not your phone or other digital camera/DSLR and you just need to take a hi-res photo?

I agree. I only use my phone camera for an "Oh Crap" spontaneous photo, not a thought out photograph where high res makes a difference. Not to mention that the quality of the lens really determines the end quality of the image. You can find shots taken on a 3MP camera with a great lens that will blow you away.

I haven't see the Androidcentral video. But apparently there were no functioning new Galaxy Tab 10.1. The old 10.1 was used to demonstrate Honeycomb and TouchWiz. So I probably wouldn't worry too much about that, since that isn't the tablet we are getting anyway.
I'm not concerned about the camera. I'd like to have a camera, but I don't require it to be uber. I think having a good camera on my smart phone is far more important, because it's easier to hold and click pictures with a 4 inch phone than a 10 inch tablet.
Xoom disappointed me, I returned mine after a few days. It was too heavy, didn't feel comfortable to hold long, and the screen was good, but not great.
Galaxy Tab is much lighter and appears to be more comfortable to hold. Comfort is huge, I want to be able to hold this thing in my hands without fatigue or sharp corners digging into my fingers.
And the PLS screen, no doubt will blow away whatever type of panel the Xoom is using.

I just got back from the Verizon store and spent a good 20 minutes with the Xoom, and honestly my arm got tired. That thing is HEAVY. Its the first thing you notice when you pick it up. It is obviously solidly built which is what the weight offers, but man I couldn't see myself using that thing with one hand for very long.
1.6lbs is heavy. If these things come out and are solidly built for 1lb I'll be sold on it.
Should also note that using the Xoom makes me realize I probably won't want anything smaller than a 10.1" tablet. The Xoom has a much smaller footprint than the iPad because it is 16:9 and not 4:3. I think the 8.9" might be a little too small. I like the 10.1" ability to be able to view full web pages without pinching/zooming to read them properly.
Yep, I'm sold on the 10.1 even though i swore to never purchase a Samsung device. I'm putting my Xoom up for sale as of today

Nvidia's tegra site has the galaxy tab 10.1 listed as having the tegra 2
I will probably look to buy the 10.1v (or whatever they end up calling the original). I want to buy in the next month or so, so if it's not available it will be the iPad 2 until June.
Have you seen the needle like charger tip for the xoom? Bad things will happen to something so flimsy... That's half the reason I took mine back. Other half is the new Tab 10.1.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
The comparison is obviously against the newest Samsung series of devices. The Nexus 6 has a horrid AMOLED screen; my wife's Galaxy S5 has a better screen in terms of vibrancy and overall colors.
I read somewhere that the Super AMOLED of Samsung is actually constructed differently that other manufacturers? Is that true?
Unsure on the exact panel , all i've heard from the videos is " gorgeous "and "bright " though

Check android authority video comparison of 6p vs old nexus 6. To me the amoled on the 6p seemed too yellowish and very similar to the nexus 6 screen. That makes me think amoled being used this year is again lower quality. On the s6 and note 5, the amoled whites are really white...while on the 6p video the whites seemed yellowish like nexus 6. That's a red flag.

I'm holding off on the 6P because I might make the move over to the Edge 6+ or Note 5. I'm at the point where build quality and screen mean more to me than anything else.
The dev is getting "boring", since there isn't really much left to improve when it comes to stock android.

Lol they don't give a single **** I think. Nexus has never been about premium hardware. Google guys are smart and they probably notice how blind their fanboys are. No matter what Google sells, or at what price, fanboys will buy it. That's what they are doing now. They sold the nexus 6 for 700+ last year, and in less than 11 months, that phone dropped to $300. That's 68% loss in less than 1 year. Speaks a lot of quality of hardware.

That's good to know. I will test the Axon 7 (G Model) for two weeks and decide if I like it or not.
If I like it I will keep it if not I will send it back.
The capacitive buttons are a no go for me. But I will see. I will also compare signal cell/WiFi strength to my old phone. If it's worse I will get the next device to test for two weeks. Who knows I might even end up with the Pixel XL at the end xD

I'm also waiting to see what the Pixel XL will be like... especially considering how much Google is promoting this... (unless previous the Nexus phones in the past) Just saw a giant sign on the side of the interstate with Google's ad about this upcoming phone... kind of weird... even Apple doesn't do anything like that to promote iPhones.

I read many posts that said the Axon 7's AMOLED was "worse" than then AMOLED screens on current Samsung phones. That really confused me. Is it possible that Samsung sold cheaper/substandard/outdated versions of the AMOLED panels to other smartphone manufacturers? O
I had compared my Axon 7 with my friend's Sam Note edge today. The displays seems identical, with the only exception being Note Edge has an edge. Samsung does not sell their best display to other manufacturers that's just the fact.
I'm having both s7 edge and Axon 7 and the quality of the screen is on par with latest Samsung top smartphone.
The sunlight readability is on par with s7 edge the accuracy of the color is top level also.
Well done to ZTE that deliver top of the top AMOLED display to his current flagship.

I reckon it's a Samsung screen. It is just too damn similar. That's why i really like this device

Er, whoops, I meant same type of screen
One article I read, and no I can't find it now, said it's the same 5.5"'1440p AMOLED Samsung display used in the Pixel XL.
Same 1440p AMOLED display as Pixel XL

I don't have the device (yet) but if you use "devcheck" from the play store and go to Hardware->Panel you should be able to see OEM name on most devices.
Let me know which one it is.

YES, the Pixel XL and the ZTE Axon 7 use the exact same 1440p AMOLED Samsung panel.

Also of note is the 5.5″ 1440×2560 Samsung AMOLED screen, model number S6E3HA3, which appears to be the same model as the newly released ZTE Axon 7.

Worse? I guess they are maybe talking about some "metrics" that aren't visible to the eye. The screen on this device is gorgeous and matches up to any of the current Samsung flagship devices I know (not the S8, though. Haven't held one yet.).
Since I'm on a custom ROM I use kCal to increase color slightly to mimic that original colour tool on stock. Has me "ooh-ing" and "aah-ing" from video to video. )

Exactly. We have pure whites, they have redish whites.
