http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-preview/
Includes hands on video in the Engadget link. Gotta say, very impressed. Only let down might be that they didn't manage a SAMOLED screen, but the one they chose looks good so far.
Also, conflicting reports on the CPU. Gizmodo and that press sheet say A8, Engadget says A9. My money is on the same Hummingbird that's in the Galaxy S though.

If it goes into the $500 range, they are in the ipad range then. I dont think they can compete with the ipad unless they offer more (which they do) for less!
So, my guess is $399.
yea $399 seems like a fair price..
Apparently a finnish press release (by email) set the price to 949€ (~$1200)... Which is somewhat higher than the "fair" price you wish for... I doubt they will sell very many if that's accurate. And it pisses me off that they didn't toss in a 1280x720 screen... I don't care if Android doesn't support the resolution.. It's not like it's impossible to make it support it, it's OPEN SOURCE.

well I paid 480 euros for my phone so 400$ is like 350 euro.. Hard to belief but lets see...
Wouldn't buy it anyways. give me a dualcore nVidia tegra2 tablet with 3500mah. like toshiba Folio 100

Phones are phones....look at the iphone, it costs more than the ipad!
Samsung will not make a single dime if they price it more than any ipad!
$399 or less otherwise it will be a big bust for a 7" tablet!
What would be even better is a non-GSM version for $299 so that every Galaxy S user can buy one and teether it when needed.
I thought I wouldn't get the urge to buy another device for a while.... 32GB! of internal storage? 1024 x 600 Resolution? I hate this
Let's see... Europe will get it first, so I could buy that one and be limited to only 1900mhz 3g of AT&T, but it will be easy to switch from sgs phone (take out sim card, put it in tab, done!).
Or I could wait for the verizon version, and probably get skype with it like all the other verizon android devices. But I already have AT&T contract....
Or I could wait for the Canadian Bell version, but I haven't heard anything about that.
A confirmed price and release date would be nice from them.
MORE IMPORTANT:
- This equipment is very similar to our SGS and will be updated to Gingerbread (Android 3.0)
- Someone from Samsung mentioned they're working already in Honeycomb (Android 3.X)!
Long life to SGS is garanteed!
BTW: Did someone find any benchmark figures from the SGT?
Well not really samsung wants to sell phones not software.guess it's for their new flash ship
Just think about how many people will buy it if they think they will get amdroid 3.
So by then samsung can change their mind because the customers paid already.
So if some guy says something off the record it means nothing

Samsung Tablets: Gingerbread, Honeycomb, a 'full portfolio' in 2011:

No, iPad is $640 range sans for the 3G, (there are some reports there will be a wifi-only but I happen to believe the reports that all will have a cell radio, even if coming disabled by default unless sold by a carrier...end part my speculation):
a camera, let alone two
dual band wireless N
expandable storage
pixel density (sacrficing screen size, but increasing holdability and portability)
flash support
...no point in going on, they are going all out, Apple held something back
form factors & OS to be argued, but I think Apple-Central (Engadget) themselves said they like this one for it's one-handed possibilities, better for e-reading due to the pixel density, weight and form factor
I can tell you that it's main competitor in Korea is coming in at less than $300 US without a contract and free on contract (less than $30/month wi-bro contract). This is definitely a better device, but if we can see other non-Apple's doing cheap then we can see this having great options as well.
I definitely expect this in the 400-500 range, $500 is a bit of a shame for people that will go without a data plan, but it is what it is and adds future flexibility.

They won't price these based on exchance rates, that's not how the market works, they price these to what the customers can bear. For example, in England the iPad starts at 429 pounds, in Germany and France the iPad starts at 500 Euro, in the U.S. it starts at $500 USD. Expect Samsung to price according to market as well, and for this to be 400+ Euro.

The iPhone costs more than the base iPad, you are looking at subsidized pricing versus non-subsidized pricing...there's a difference. Again, comparing this to an iPad isn't correct on many levels. First, some people have never been interested in the iPad even if they are mildly or majorly tickled by the idea of having a tablet device. Next, for those who want the GSM version, $400 would be more than $200 cheaper than the iPad, the iPad would be priced more than 50% higher than this! They don't need to undercut them that much, look above and feel free to comment back.
As far as "teethering" goes I swear I've read teethering like 3 times in 2 weeks, is this a new internet meme (anyone can answer and sorry for being slightly off-topic, I'm not the grammar police, just trying to be educated on what's hip )

Ooo, now I get to ask my question. I love the Galaxy S, but how many people with a Galaxy S are in the market for this device? I'm really curious, I'd be more tempted by their other offerings in 2011 which will be more feature packed and give me more screen real estate (read, less redundant). I do think the device is sexy, but right now I don't see myself buying one, but am open-minded and want to hear opinions on both sides.
i'll be a nice companion for our phone, to replace a laptop
Cool maybe for the galaxy as well then

The screen is based on TFT, instead of AMOLED, which Samsung uses on some of its smartphones. The concession was made to lower the cost of the product and improve battery life, which should last up to eight hours, according to Samsung.
On the front is a 1.3-megapixel camera for video calls or conferencing, and on the back a 3-megapixel camera with a LED lamp. The Tab weighs 380 grams, and measures 19 centimeters by 12 cm by 1.2 cm.

http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9183318/Update_Samsung_launches_Galaxy_Tab?taxonomyId=15
with that screen and camera short coming, i think i'll stick with the Phone version better
If it had Super AMOLED display + 1GB RAM and got 2G+3G removed, I'd be very interested.
However, I think tablets should get cheaper. I mean... netbooks are getting cheaper day by day and you can buy a decent one with $250-300. I know that tablets are more portable and time-efficient since they don't need booting, but the pricing isn't attractive at all.
Folks! The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is up for pre-order now at J&R (I can't post links). PLS screen mentioned. No word on SD card slot.

I put in an order just in case myself since I'm worried we might see another Eee Transformer shortage.
Anyone notice anything at other stores?

I guess no real surprises. Still disappointed the wifi model has no micro SD. So I had to go ahead and spend the extra $100 and get the 32GB model.
I don't normally pre-order. I tend to like taking my chances at Best Buy or something, so I can have it in my hands the same day. But I have a feeling this thing is going to be crazy popular.
Full 1080p playback? I have not had this experience at all.
I tried the default movie player, rock media player, and Vplayer and none of them have played either of my HD files that I put on it in 720p. Especially confusing considering they are advertising the 3.0 with it when I'm in hopes of 3.1 improving the performance.
Thank you for info. Just have seen that there are 2 models of 10.1 GT.
http://www.tabletsforu.com/2011/05/16/buy-galaxy-tab-10-1v-or-buy-galaxy-tab-10-1-comparison/
Do you think I should wait for 10.1 or to get 10.1v today in Spain. I would wait for the slim version but if it will be released on 8th of June in US it will be available in Europe or at least in UK in another 3 weeks.
Do you think worth the waiting?
Yes.

Yep its popular alright. I have the Google I/O Limited Edition version and its the final product for sure. Everything on it is sexy as hell. no SD slot is correct unless they find a slim slit for it somewhere down the line.

Hmmm... very odd. I'm going to press my luck and hope that Best Buy in my area has plenty in stock. Still though, curious as to why they pulled it from their site.
So I just rechecked my order and it is there now. So maybe the whole system went down when they pulled it off their order page. Not sure. But it is there now.
I saw that this morning but think I'm going to wait and see if Amazon or Best Buy does a pre order

I'd understand Amazon but why Best Buy?
Sometimes they do pre-orders like with the iPad 2 or cell phones like the Evo 3D. I'm hoping they do a pre-order otherwise we will have people buying and reselling like these idiots on Craigslist. Ship to store or pick up at store works great in situations like this.

Has anyone spotted any sensible pre-order sites in the UK? There are a couple showing up in Google but with greatly over inflated asking prices.
If the Galaxy Tab 10.1 32GB 3G version is quoted as $599.00, then that currently equates to the UK price being £369.66. I really hope that's right, but alas we usually pay way over what the price 'should be'. I hope we get confirmation of the UK price very soon!
Fingers crossed.
It doesn't work like that. If something costs $X in USA, it usually costs around $1.5X in UK or around X-100 or so pounds in UK. And what costs X in UK costs X euros in Europe and X swiss francs in Switzerland.
Expect the 32 gb 10.1 to be around 500 pounds in UK, if not more!
After seeing a couple of these for sale in the market at $150 over retail and shill bidding bs, I thought I would post prices up from around net as of today.

That is actually not euros (€), but British pounds (£).
Looking at the url, Handtec is from the uk, so they use pounds.
So with currency conversion it actually turns out to be around $627USD
I could be wrong but most have the 2100 and not the 1700 and I hear that T-mobile requires both for hspa+ while I may have the numbers correct or incorrect, am I correct. U can only get Edge on T-mobile? Thx

Looks like the processor isn't actually the same as the Nexus 4 and shares a lot in common with the Snapdragon 600. Glad to see the display improvements as well.
Some highlights:
Display:
It turns out that the new Nexus 7 is actually very close to sRGB this time around, with overall gamut being just a bit bigger than the sRGB color space. In the GMB Delta-E and saturations Delta-E measures, arguably the two most relevant for color accuracy, the new Nexus 7 is second only to the iPad 4, and better than the iPad Mini in color accuracy, a significant step forwards from its predecessor.
The new Nexus 7 also goes very bright, up to 583 nits, with excellent contrast of 1273. This is again not achieved using any dynamic contrast cheating since those functions are thoughtfully disabled.

Processor:
the new Nexus 7 switches to Qualcomm’s APQ8064–1AA, a version with 4 Krait 300 CPU cores (yes, Krait 300, not 200) running at up to 1.5 GHz and Adreno 320 graphics. Rather than use a PoP and LPDDR2, this specific APQ8064 variant goes to PCDDR3L–1600 MHz instead, including 4, 4Gb discrete 1.35V SK-hynix DRAM devices off to the side (more on the opposite side of the PCB) adding up to 2 GB of RAM. Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro and Snapdragon 600 branding gets confused here, although Qualcomm is calling the APQ8064 inside the Nexus 7 (2013) S4 Pro, it's more like an underclocked or lower binned Snapdragon 600.

He is still working on battery tests, so those will either show up here or in a full review to come later.
Not usually one to buy a gadget sight unseen but after reading this review I'm really glad I ordered one.

Keep the feeling alive until the inevitable defect in all these first run units appears :good:
the S4 pro in the 2013 model is essentially an underclocked snapdragon 600! thanks to those krait 300 cores!!! thats a win!
Wow! Just read the entire article. New nexus7 is a beast. An all around great device.
What really caught my attention was some new thing with storage I/O called ftrim or something. This prevents the sluggishness and slowing down of device after its loaded with apps and stuff. So this nexus doesn't suffer the bottleneck like previous generation. Even better is that this is a software feature included in android 4.3. So even the older generation nexus7 "should" be fixed once updated to Android 4.3. This should breathe new life into the older models. Can't wait to flash 4.3 on mines and see how she runs.
The display, according to Anandtech, is nothing short of amazing. Even beating the ipad4 display in alot of areas. So a huge improvement from previous model.
What I really like is that there's actually Krait 300 cores. Although they calling it S4 Pro, its really an underclocked/low bin Snapdragon 600. Once this device is rooted and overclocked, expect to see its performance increase dramatically. As powerful as it is, could even be underclocked to achieve stellar battery life and still perform.great.
Thanks to OP for the link. I think this Anandtech mini review has put me over the edge on buying one. I especially want one now. Ill just flash 4.3 on older model.and give it to my father since he doesn't have a tablet and I know he'd enjoy it.
"Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day"
Awwww...
Anyhow, that's great news! OTG was also confirmed working. This thing keeps getting better!!
... and now the lack of European availability hurts even more! Superb little device, dear Lord!

I bought one with Amazon and comgateway to Australia. You could try the same if you're really eager. Mine should arrive in 5-7days. Fingers crossed.

Mine arrived at my comgateway address today, I gave them the OK to ship on the website just now.
Should arrive on 7th Aug they said.
The website is pretty easy to use, and you get 10% off on your 1st purchase and free upgrade to express.
Total cost of shipping includes the price they quote, 9% fuel surchage, and 0.65% fuel surchage.
Nexus 7 weighs under 700g, so they charge you for only one kg.
So $28 USD (price of 1kg) + $2.24 USD (fuel surcharge) + $1.48 USD (insurance) = $28.92 USD after 10% off
$28.92 x 1.09 (Australian conversion rate) x 1.03 (international transaction fee) = $32.41 AUD (TOTAL price for shipping)
That makes the total i've spent for the 16gb nexus = $288.07 AUD or $257.92 USD
So far it's looking pretty good, i'll update you when i get my package

Used it a few times, they ship using DHL, so I get my stuff pretty quickly.
No complains so far.

Hello,
This is a official Indian Moto G discussion thread. It is expected to be launched in early January 2014.
I will update the thread as we get more information.
Please keep this thread clean and use if for Moto G specific stuff only. Please avoid OT discussion.
I was thinking about getting this phone to replace my old and tired Galaxy Y.
I wonder what the price will be...
Somewhere around 11-12K maybe?

16 GB Moto G costs 199 $ in US i.e. Rs 12500 approx. So it will not be less than Rs 15000 here I'm planning to get one from US
Looking at the Nexus 5 pricing and as they will have to include headphones in the box as per Indian law, I think 16gb will cost around 18k. I hope Motorola prices it close to 15k.
Moto G 8GB is available for Rs.15,990 and 16GB for Rs.17,990 at eBay India including all taxes and import duties. It was imported from US.

But how about warranty? I doubt whether motorola will accept US phones for warranty in India.
Also, they have mentioned dual sim model. When will this be launched?

People who import products from US/UK often won't care about warranty which we won't surely get. But the seller who is selling US Moto G 8GB and 16GB on eBay India is saying he is giving one year warranty and 10 day replacement guarantee. ALWAYS enquire the seller before buying on eBay.
But at the moment its the cheapest option available instead of importing manually for who can't wait for the official launch of Moto G in India.
16 - 17K
Right now, Moto G costs 200USD [16GB version]
Convert that to INR = Around 12,000 Rs
+ Around 30% Tax = 16,500 - 17,000 Rs

Where did you get that 30% tax figure from?
It's 6%... and there are some other charges too. But OEMs import in bulk.. it is subsidized.
It'll effectively be around 10-15% tops
prices of smartphones in india are almost same as in UK, where 16gb versions costs about 16K (inr), so adding a charger+Dual Sim+Headphones may increase price upto 2K so i think 16-18K is a good guess for 16gb version in india. Also if they launch single sim version without charger and headphones, it would be a better option
If they do price it at 16-18K then I don't think its going to sell a lot. The Micromax canvas 4 is a good deal at around 16K. And there are a ton of other phones cheaper than that with better specs.
Altough the Moto G will get KitKat faster and will be the one supported by the community more.

Should be around 15k. Am looking forward for getting my hands on the 16gigs variant too as soon as it lands here. Hoping that Moto will be providing warranty here.

had Motorola not promised KitKat for Moto G, it wud be senseless to buy it over Canvas 4 or Canvas Turbo or other Sino-Indian phones.

nope.. 16.5k for single-SIM 16 GB, without charger & headphones.
Here's how I calculated-
Nexus 5 : Moto G
= $349 : $199
= Rs 28999 : Rs 16535
(come on! Congress won't lower the taxes)
And of course warranty will be there because it'll be "officially launched" like Nexus 5 (not like Nexus 4).
P.S.- I think, we would get more of dual-SIM ones (expectedly costing Rs 1.5k more) before single-SIM ones become readily available.
By then if Nexus 4 drops to 20k, it wud be a more sensible buy than Moto G. :thumbup:

but that was about ancient feature phones (non-android RAZR, ROKR, etc.)
Despite Qualcomm chipset & Gorilla Glass 3, Moto G is priced quite low, which means all other components are cheap and as bad as LG's.
So, in terms of durability Nexus 4 should be as good as Moto G.
Had Moto G been costlier, we could have considered it to be more durable than Nexus 4, but not now.
Anyway.. if Nexus 4 sticks to 21.5k and Moto G costs no more than 16.5k, then of course Moto G will be the winner.

N5 comes with headsets in India.
I'd be heart-broken if it goes on sale at anything above 15,000. Really waiting desperately for this to launch in India

Technically, tax isn't applied on imports! Its only the shipping charge and customs levied (if a relative sends you the device, then no customs). So, basically it should be 14-15K max.
30% tax? LOL!
