Hey guys I know there are a lot of post about this issue in comparing the Nexus 10 and the note. I am a teacher.I will be using the device for job and in meetings. I also am thinking that I could take pictures of students assignments and grade them and take notes and records from that.in particular I just need to be able to keep running records of student trials on certain skills. . I do realize that the Nexus is a sweet device and I definitely wanted but I need to justify getting it for my job is it going to be able to do that stuff?

The Nexus 10 has much better pixel density than the Note 10.1. This will make reading anything easier.
However, because of the lack of an active stylus, you would have to settle for a slightly less accurate passive one. I happen to use a Targus stylus. Tablet styli come in many shapes and forms nowadays. If you have the time, I would recommend visiting a place like Fry's to try some out. (Some require you to press hard; some don't. Some slide easily; some don't.) The digitizer on the Nexus 10 screen is actually quite good, so you won't notice any squiggly lines when drawing diagonal lines. (Poor digitizers are an annoying problem on some handsets.)
Give Skitch a try. I personally haven't tried it yet, but it looks like you can take a picture and annotate it with this app.
If you can get PDFs of student assignments, ezPDF works really well for annotations. (Yes, I have used this app quite frequently, so I can attest to its awesomeness.)
It's a tough call--insane pixel density or insane stylus accuracy. Please let us know which one you decide on buying.
To be honest, great pixel density can only help so much. I think the Note 10.1 is much much better at what you want to do.

I have the Nexus10 and it isnt the best device to take notes. I think also that the best for you is the note 10.1...
Sorry men!
Nothing can outshine an original. Stick to Samsung the best!

You guys are being a lot of help. I appreciate it, it helps a lot. It really sucks that the Nexus doesn't apply as well for my needs because if I wasn't using it for school so much and class it would hands-down be my choice because it is awesome .. It sounds to me like the stylus and everything that comes with the newt is just invaluable for what I will be using it for . Anybody disagree?

No disagreement. Nexus 10 does media consumption really well, but it really doesn't do so well with productivity.
It's anyone being productive with the Nexus.. note taking.meeting notes etc

I use Catch notes with addons for meetings, little presentations, etc. As to do use Any.DO. Don't think that Note 10.1 can be better except drawing.
Hi friends, I want to show you all... note 2's hidden feature we can call it Air Touch (by this feature you can use your note without touch on its screen through SPen) n hope you'll enjoy this amazing feature... n also let me know how many of you know about it... n if you like this, plz press thumbs up
I've uploaded it on youtube n
Here is the video link

hidden
not its not
Well, for some people, it's not "air touch", it's "S-pen way too sensitive" and it's a problem
(see that vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viDDKGPj2FI)
I guess you tweaked the potentiometer of your S-pen so much that it reacts without even touching the screen ?
BTW, I guess you've lost air view function by doing this, right?
Oh

I thought it was some hidden feature of note 2
I liked it very much its cool and samsung should placed one more button to activate n deactivate this air touch feature n its more fun then air view
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
Well, the possibility to activate/desactivate this feature could be a great idea indeed, but I fear it depends on the potentiometer of the S-pen. Maybe another button on the S-pen to activate this feature could be a good idea for the Note 3
Was it out of the box for you, or did you unscrew the S-pen potentiometer to get these results?
(for me, it was just the contrary, the S-pen was not sensitive enough, I had to press the screen pretty hard to get it working, I had to unscrew the potentiometer to get a smooth S-pen. I haven't tried to get results as yours and I'm not sure my S-pen could do this even if I tweak it more)
Well I dropped my SPen today
And found this feature accidentally
Its quite simple if you press your Spen tip little inside then this feature activate... for deactivation pull it little out
But its fun to use it
Now its like some high tech magic wand

Hi I hv seen new galaxy s4 video
It has a air swipe feature... where you can just swipe your palm over screen n it'll change the photos, videos
May be samsung will add this feature air touch on galaxy note 3
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
Not as convenient but you can get the same result by holding the tip of your finger over the nib of the spen.

This is a pretty old feature which I was using on my old Nokia, it was a 3rd party application that used the front camera to detect the motion of your hands over the screen and swipe photos or pages. Nothing new and certainly not a samsung innovation.

Well thats why I want Samsung should put a button that can activate n deactivate this feature when needed... so you can use both features simultaneously according to your use (air touch n air view)... because note2 has capable hardware

I guess that's something we'll get with the next update (hopefully). That is assuming it's got to do with camera rather than any other sensors.
I don't think airview will work well with your finger as your finger or a capasitive stylus requires too much real estate to register. Where the s-pen can be very selective due to it's size.
This has been made on some devices, but I'm not sure the Note II's screen is compatible.
As far as I know the Spen has an onboard transducer that communicates with the phone, so unless you embed a transducer in your finger it's not gonna happen anytime soon.....lol.
I think he means the same feature on s4.
It should be possible for the note 2 as well unless the screen technology on s4 is something completely new.

My apologies - I did'nt know the S4 could do that, but I'm pretty sure the note 2 talks to a transducer in the Spen - read it somewhere.

I use the n7 mainly for browsing the net and some minor games. The n7 is only two inches bigger, but it feels and look much bigger than that. I also have the ipad3, but it's getting a bit uncomfortable and heavy for my taste, so this 7" tablet is just the right size for me.

The "2 inch bigger" tablet have over 2X the screen size of the GS4 (N7 22.08 inch^2 vs GS4 10.68 in^2) , It provide substantially better content consumption(Video playback/Ebook +Comic Reading) experience and web broswing. I can even comfortably read/edit Word/Excel with Kingsoft Office on it.
Not to mention the Super Bright LCD screen (538nits, GS4's AMOLED can't dream to match) & Stereo speakers.
I have the s4 rooted and an considering getting the n7 as well. Quick question. I haven't found the answer yet but is the memory expandable?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
I have a S4 and bought an Nexus 7 mainly because i want to read PDF and Word documents. S4's screen is to small to do this. But with 7 inch and FHD it is good enough to read letter/DIN A4 docs.Screen resolution does matter to me, so an Galaxy Note 8 or 10 was no real alternative. But I would have taken a Nexus 8 as well
I have both, definitely worth it for Web Surfing and video.

Please do not compare Galaxy S4 with nexus 7!! doesnt make any sense dude,,, i own both devices, think about, S4 is your mobile phone, so you are using for making calls, text, and web browsing! usually dont even last all day, need to get charge, where nexus 7 coming in and you using it for watching cheeky videos and playing games!
Thank you guys. Now I know what to do
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I've got both too. At first I thought why do I need it S4 does most things well. But at this price I couldn't complain. Been using it since yesterday and barely touched my phone. The bigger screen is better for browsing and such. Playing games is better to with a bigger screen. Watching videos too. So far I like it.

I can go two days without charging my evo 3d now I have my tablet.
I own both as well, both currently running SlimBean ROM, which is very nice having the interface be the same across platforms, as well as being rid of the hot mess that I'd touch wiz. Well with it in my opinion to have both, even if both running stock ROM.

My wife has the Note 5 and between the two, I still like mine better. Its just a better footprint overall.
I've got both. I don't see any difference in performance except when I compared them in Gear VR. The Note 5 was way much smoother for some reason (maybe something dragging down the S7E in the background..?) picture quality is slightly better on S7E but it feels like the Note 5 has slightly larger field of view.
Otherwise it's up to everyone personal preference design-wise.
