So I had an iPad 1, and currently have an iPad 2. I recently switched from an iPhone to a Motorola Atrix and as far as a smartphone, I am enjoying Android much better than iOS on the phone. But switching from an iPad to the Galaxy Tab I'm still up in the air about.
So that being said, the GT is about as good as the iPad for our needs, mainly just web browsing in bed. I really didn't need to get the GT, but I was just craving something different to play with. But do have a few issues / questions.
For starters, I've noticed web browsing is a bit sluggish on the GT whereas it is really smooth on the iPad. I installed Dolphin Browser for Tablets, but it seems just as sluggish as the stock browser.
I am also worried about future OS updates from Samsung, being as they don't have the best reputation in that department. Atleast with the iPad I know I can install iOS updates the day they come out.
Does anyone know what's Samsung's timeline for putting out Honeycomb 3.2 for the GT? I was thinking they might skip it being as ICS is due out soon. They might put their effort more into that. I hope they already started working on it so we don't have to wait for a long time for it.
I guess the durability of the GT worries me also. My first one had the Neuton Rings, I exchanged it at best buy, so far so good with the new one. But I am worried that the new one will eventually get them. It's nice with the iPad that if I have any problems I can go right to an Apple store and get it taken care of instead of sending it off for warranty work.
Well so far I like it, I guess maybe only because it is something different to play with, so no major advantage over my iPad so far. But I'm keeping an open mind about it.

I'm exactly the same way.
Right now, I've been thinking about getting a tablet for about a month now. I absolutely love Android and am excited about ICS. However, I believe in the tablet department, I think Apple really nailed it in terms of apps.
I believe that apps on the tablet need to be as smooth and as unique to the tablet/pad design. And apart from a very small amount of apps on Android, very few actually run smoothly and have taken advantage of this design.
In saying that, I have no doubt that Google will catch up eventually, but that may be a few years yet in terms of getting the same quality of apps.
At least in terms of tablets, Apple has it perfected, for the time being.
I believe samsung has to give us the most updated version of the android os for at least a year. They talked about fragmentation at the recent Google io and said that all android manufacturers will be part of this deal too. I don't think it should be too long before we see 3.2 or ics
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the Xda premium app
let me start by saying that these are my opinions.
Hands down the ipad is much smoother with more and higher quality apps. I own both the galaxy tab and the ipad 2, and i use the ipad muvh more because i can do things in a quarter of the time. I dont blame google for that though. I personally think that tegra is a pos, pardo the french. Every honeycomb tab is very laggy that ive tried(except the jetstream). Even the atrix is incredibly laggy when compared to an sgsii.
I typed tis response on my galaxy tab in about ten minutes due to the lag, i could have spent 2 on the ipad
guys stop whining.
90% of the IPad apps are iPhone apps just with higher resolution, they look the same, they feel the same, basically in most cases it feels like you are holding bigger ipod/iPhone.
However the choice of the apps already on appstore is hands down.
with android there is no key word like "You need an app for that"
you don't need an app to watch youtube
you don't need and app to check your bank account
...
I have 50 apps on my tablet where 80% is games
I have one video player app 1 news reader
and few other apps that makes my life easier
the rest I can do on the web browser or directly from inbuilt apps JUST AS I WOULD DO ON THE COMPUTER
the only thing I can't to is to play high end games and watch BluRay dvd
and really I don't have a need to play games on my laptop only thing I'm using it for is as a BluRay player,
my gtab replaced my laptop in nearly every field (including printing)
I own both an iPad and a Galaxy Tab, I got the tab to replace the iPad, which it has done successfully. My main usage is business use which, involves a lot of emails and Web access etc.
From my experience, the tab (or specifically, Android) beats the iPad hands down, the simple fact that you cannot do such a very simple task on an iPad (or any other IDevice for that matter) such as, attach a damn file other than a photo to an email is bewildering! How can it be geared for business use, when you need a 3rd party app to attach a PDF file, but creates a new email as opposed to just replying?
Or the way that you can only have multiple email signatures for different accounts, if you jailbreak it, not out of the box!
Yes their are more apps on the iPad, but if their were only 1000 tablet apps for Android, would you really have them all installed?
A lot of the Web orientated apps for iOS, are not needed on the Tab, as it is capable of giving you Web pages they way they are meant to be viewed. They both have their pros and cons, but my personal preference is the tab, I can stream movies from my network with nothing else needed other than a file manager, I can map network shares. With another simple app, I am able to print to any network attached printer, not just the ones Apple tell me I should use and on that note, I think that's what it all comes down to.
With Apple you pay £500 for a device and they enforce what they think is best for you, with an Android device, "YOU" decide what you do with it.
Rant complete!

Exactly how I think.
I love android and I love honeycomb, but it just doesn't seem to meet standards yet. Just scrolling through the home screens on the g tab is laggy, now you could say it's because of widgets but it's pretty clear that android can run damn smooth with the right hardware ala galaxy s2.
Hopefully ics will allow me to browse the Internet on my gtab without having to give a pause between each letter or violently press the screen just to make sure it registers.

Agreed, There maybe lag from time to time, but when you consider that all the interface on the iPad is, is the app draw on Android, where as Honeycomb has a whole lot more to it than that, and my app drawer had no lag to it at all lol.
With saying that, whilst not as much as Android, I did experience lag from time-to-time on my iPad, like I say not as much as on Android but!... I couldn't honestly tell you how many times the browser crashed out on me with the iPad, sometimes the websites weren't even particularilly big. Or the annoyance of trying to load a website, then flicking to email then back again, only to find it had to reload the page again because it doesn't do proper multi-tasking, and these things need to be accounted for also, Android simply does more stuff at the same time where as iOS cannot and may lag a bit because of it.
So far my experience with the Galaxy Tab has been positive. I don't experience any OS lag that I can tell, outside of the keyboard lag when typing. I only have 1 widget on the screen though.
My wife and I only really use it for web browsing in bed. I don't really use a lot of apps on the iPad / GT like I do on my Atrix phone.
Of course the only issue I really have is the browser lag. Either Safari or Atomic web browser on the iPad are much much smoother and not choppy when scrolling. So being as I mainly just web browse on it, that is my main issue. I use the stock browser as well as Dolphin for Tablets. I like the stock browser a bit better, I wish it had 2 options though that Dolphin has, such as setting the default viewing to desktop instead of mobile, and an option to have Flash load as needed instead of always.
I guess my main issue is that I didn't really need to buy a GT since the iPad did everything just fine for which my wife and I use it for. I'm just really trying to give myself reasons to keep it. If I keep it, I am debating on whether selling my iPad, or just let my wife use the iPad so I can actually have a tablet to actually use in bed without waiting for her to get done with it. hehe
I just noticed that the Motorola Xoom just got a 3.2.1 update recently while we are still waiting for 3.2. That is a bummer. I know 3.2 isn't a big update, but I hear it's mostly performance enhancments, which would be welcome though.
@mchimney
I notice no lag at all on my Atrix. The only issue I had was a few icons for some apps randomly disappearing from my desktop. I put on Go Launcher and the problem is gone. Actually the Atrix was what switched me to Android from the iPhone. I've had a Nexus One and an HTC Inspire, and although both were nice, just something about the Atrix which made me finally switch. I'm looking forward to the Atrix 2. One of th best things I like the most about the Atrix is how LOUD the external speaker is. I always thoughy the iPhone 4 had a loud speaker, and the Nexus One and the Inspire had low volumn speakers, but the Atrix definately has the best.
TASK650's rom seems to have cleared up any homescreen lag for me no matter what sort of retarded screen cluttering widget I use although at the moment I use only HD Widgets and Battery Girl (It's cute and fairly useless)
That rom also applies a fix to make the stock browser display desktop but I don't think you can toggle back and forth as with Dolphin.
In regards to Samsung updating HC I would not be too optimistic as my Fascinate is only able to go to 2.3 via a port of CM7 which I decline to use at the moment.
Of course since the wifi version is not saddled with Verizon we may indeed see updates in 3.x or ICS but I'm not holding my breath for that.
Swype keyboard seems to have no lag for me no matter what I do save for trying to share a page via News360 but I think that is an issue with the app rather than the keyboard.
Best of luck on your screen not getting rings
I also bought the Galaxy Tab because I wanted to escape from the closed Apple ecosystem. I've had about every Android phone that was released and enjoy them very much, and I try hard to love the Galaxy Tab, but it is giving me a hard time. Really, when it comes to the tabs there is no competition. Most has already been mentioned above, I'll add my short comparison:
- Ipad 2 : connectivity, itunes, no files system (this for me is the major one), screen resolution (too less to comfortable read e.g. pdfs and articles with small fonts), browser may be slow at times, no flash
+ Ipad 2: smooth operation and reliability, no stuttering, no random errors, no force closes, very fast in operation, lots of apps (which I do not need), available apps are of better quality (compare e.g. quick office HD on an iPad to that on android - the latter has e.g. not even the capability to create bulleted lists!), apps integrate much better (e.g. copy paste content between or from browser to apps etc), superior battery life and standby time, very efficient use of memory
- Galaxy Tab 10.1: laggy as hell, force closes of launcher and apps, most videos choppy, bad memory handling (try to open large pdfs/office docs and then to scroll, zoom etc)
+ Galaxy Tab: it's android, so customizable, filesystem (great!), easy data transfer, very fast download speeds, better screen resolution, the whole internet experience (including flash, although it very often stutters and cannot handle the content of some sites)
It's really a tough call, and I always oscillate between falling in love again with the other tab after having used the other for a while.. It heavily depends on what you want to do with the tab. For casual surfing, music, videos, photos etc the Galaxy is super, but if you are a power user that intents to use the tab as kind of a computer replacement while on the road to fulfill a variety of diverse tasks then the iPad is (with exception of the f***ing data transfer / no file system problem) without any doubt far superior.
How spoilt we are to have such discussions - remember if 5 or 10 years ago somebody would have given you a device with such power and capabilities, we wouldn't have believed it..

At first I was disappointed with my galaxy tab, however after looking deep down into my inner geek and going through all the available tweaks I'm extremely satisfied.
I can't really say much more than that, everything is buttery smooth, no hiccups. I haven't seen a force close for months, the browsing is incredible.
After doing everything to get maximum performance out of my tab the only thing that still bothered me was the non-uniform icons. So after applying my preferred icon pack I showed it to my non techy brother who has an Ipad 2 and he honestly preferred it over his Ipad.
The thing is, I would never recommend a galaxy tab for him because he doesn't have the time to go through all these tweaks, and without them this honestly doesn't even compare to an ipad.
Maybe you can put yourself in these shoes to help you choose.

As you said, ICS is coming in 1-2months. Samsung already said they plan to keep the Touchwiz development to a minimum since ICS is already very user friendly. That will also allow them to release faster updates. they are hardware masters and no software kings.
I was an ipad 2 user. Am switching to a GT 10.1 4G.
I use ADW launcher with a single home screen and static black wallpaper, 3 widgets and 10 or so shortcuts. No delay. No delay while browsing (the thumbs driven interface is excellent, pages load faster than on ipad)
There are software issues. 3.1 is a work in progress. I've rooted so I could have messed things a bit.
Apple's decision to ban in-app purchases made me rethink my commitment to their brand. Kindle 's store was conveniently accessible. I couldn't believe this decision.
GT's non-standard port and (incredibly) lack of vga out are irritants. What were they (not) thinking??
I still advise most people to stick to apple tablets, a more polished and foolproof product. But for tech savvy (i.e. people who like to waste time learning how to update their ROM), the GT is a very attractive alternative. Much much more satisfying than Apple's environment. (ftr, our household uses 2 iphones, 3 ipads, 3 macbooks, 2 minis, 2 imacs and a macpro :/)

I think you need to try my rom out if you'r experiencing lag bro. Lol.
i'll second task. A custom rom like tasks and pershoots overclocked kernel clears up nearly all lag including flash and video playback. The roms also give much better battery life.
I was looking primarily for a near replacement for my laptop to use while lounging about and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 meets that need way better than an iPad. I don't like the browsing and file management experience on the iPad. On the Galaxy tab these functions work pretty much like a laptop.
However, if I could afford to buy just one tablet, it would probably be the iPad -- and that's only because the overall choice and quality of apps on that platform is way better.
Any Nexus 10 owners happen to have any stuttering or dropped frames with general tasks? Was just watching some review video, and this person mentions "dropped frames" a lot, without gaming even:
If anything, I feel it'll probably get better in time with updates, but for now, it doesn't seem "amazing" with certain apps, in terms of performance. However, it could also be that the apps aren't tablet optimized, or maybe even the force GPU acceleration would help a lot with this.
Except for him, all the other reviews I have seen of the N10 seem to say otherwise. I might be that he's got one with buggy software/update...

I didn't watch the whole video, but I saw that he restored from his Google account? That takes a long, long time to fully finish, because it includes apps, music, photos, settings, etc. And did he do the OTA update? Out of the box, it ships with old software, or at least, mine did. After his tablet is done restoring and he updates, he may notice a big. My experience AFTER restoring &updating has been silky smooth, except Google earth, which lags a lot with the huge screen resolution. Strangely, games have also been very smooth.
Chrome lags as usual and poorly coded apps. Everything else is very smooth.
Plus Chris Prillo isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Calling any sort of hesitation "dropped frames" should be your first clue.
Guys, I'm soooo close to buying this phone.
But then I saw this:
https://youtu.be/AXF-J-zCKQM?t=420
In this video, the Axon 7 behaves pretty much identical to my galaxy S5: Instead of re-opening apps at exactly the same point/states where exited, most apps either reload from start (e.g. Youtube, Speedtest) or take significantly longer to open compared to the OP3, which manages the switch instantly.
Can you please check if Multitasking has improved at all compared to the video?
And when switching back to Chrome or Youtube from other apps, does the page usually reload for you or does it pick up where you left it?
I really need your honest feedback, as this is a deal breaker for me if app switching is still like in the video. It's one of the things I passionately hate about my Galaxy S5 and I definitely don't want a phone which despite 4gb RAM cant properly keep apps in a suspended state.
My phone does fine with keeping apps in memory and picking up where they left off.
I don't have the phone yet, but from what I know, that's the Chinese model of the A7 running the Chinese ROM which is more bloated than the ROM on the US version.
Also, the reviewer is incorrect in his statement that the 6GB of RAM is the reason for the OP3's speed performance, as the OP3 doesn't actually use all of it's RAM out of the box without kernel modification.
I am aware that the 6GB Ram doesn't make a difference in real life.
Regarding the bloatware point, well if I install 10-15 apps after getting the phone, it will have the same effect as having the phone with pre-installed bloatware.
If the phone then becomes like this, its definitely an issue for me.
Can please anybody else chime in on this topic?
The A2017G with Software B03 does it nearly like the phone in the video.
It takes a few moments to restore the app. I think it takes longer if the app was opened long time ago.
The last ~5 apps are much faster to restore and they restore at the same state.
When I reopen a app that was opened long time ago, e.g. Google Chrome, than it reloads the website or restarts the app.

Thanks a lot for your input, exactly the info I needed.
Seems like this phone is a bit too aggressive in killing apps that haven't been used for more than a few minutes
Yeah, the ZTE software definitely has its downsides and quirks in many respects. Memory management and killing apps is one of them. Really looking forward to a fully working CM rom.
No, my phone does not act like this at all.
My phone multitasks just like the oneplus 3 in that video.

Have many open though (10+ apps) and see if it reacts the same. Most of mine open instantly like you state but a few loaded just like on the video. It must be a "most recently" thing it seems. Honestly, I didn't notice it until watching this vid. I mean you're talking seconds if not milliseconds and that's not even for every recently open app only some. As a ex-iphone user (iphone 6+) I can say that the Axon 7 is much more responsive but unfortunately that's all I have to go off of. I watched many reviews as well as this one before I bought this phone. Even on the Verizon network I've been very happy with my purchase and it's half the price of most flagship phones.
not sure if this question belongs here... if not please move or delete it.
can the Axon 7 play high-bitrate 1080p videos... for example, both my Note5 and LG G4 can play 40mbps to 60mbps 1080p videos just fine(movies that I ripped from Blu-ray). However, my spare phone, the Nexus 5X can't cope with it.
Thanks!
It's 2016 and I just can't be bothered with a phone that reloads an entire webpage or youtube video because i have been using some other app for the past 30min. Every single android I have had so far had this behaviour and it's effectively ruining the experience for me.
Example: I'm at the gym, reading an internet page between sets. I read on a site, then do my set, switch to my training logging app, maybe go on youtube real quickly, then switch to the music player app and maybe also write a text in whatsapp. I finish my next set and while resting I switch back to chrome. It's been roughly 5min and the entire page is reloading from scratch.
This is just an example, and it could be 30min with several more apps in between, but you get my idea.
My spider senses are telling my that the same troubles await with the axon 7. I know it has nothing to do with 4Gb ram, but with how the OS is managing the background apps and processes.
I'm surprised there's no other reviews in this regard. All the reviews just say meaningless platitudes like "4gb of RAM is plenty so it should perform awesomely with multitasking", but then fail to actually test for this claim

Indeed, correct and sad but true. Last time I had a phone that could seamlessly switch between apps without reloading anything was my iPhone 3S *smh*
I want to create a sort of track of multitasking on pixel 2/xl on the next updates.
I'm pretty sure that 4g of ram that's not enough on 2018 with Android Oreo , I have various mobiles with 6gb/8gb of ram and I can really see the differences regarding the ram management.
So i do love stock Android, I love fast updates , I love the really good camera that Google put on this, but 2018 with 4gb of ram? With the next updates we'll have more features so I'm thinking that is gonna be worse.
So I just you guys to track the next updates to see if we're gonna to have better ram management.
Otherwise I'm going to Neve ever buy Google pixel mobiles ,
They'll only fool me once.

Well that's 5 apps opened, every 2gb of ram mobile can do that too, but just try more apps and chrome with lots of pages opened and you'll see.
Don't get me wrong he loads apps very fast the same level of iPhone x with bionic 11

Well sometimes I do a lot of search I let opened and do my work and return later, and that with ,and,calls,insta, Twitter etc and with a total of maybe 12 apps and he'll began to reload.
And others mobile that I have I do the same and doesn't reloads often like that, I'm Tolking about 6gb or 8gb mobiles
Yup i have definetly noticed it
But it reloads quickly it doesn't matter but yea it is noticeable

Sometimes i wonder what people did with so many apps left opened behind,
At most, when doing some image and video campaign edit to be posted on social media or web, i'll only have 5-6 apps opened. And it still leave around 200-300 MB of RAM left,
With today's 4G speed, i dont feel the need of keeping that many app opened anymore,
As long as my draft of notes/article writings and my photo edits stay intact in the background for around 30-60 minutes, am fine
Why should i keep my game opened if i already finished the round ? Or youtube when am not actually watching or listen to RED ? Anything unused should be killed right away anyway.
Used to have 6GB in OP3 but never found it totally used. Well maybe, i gonna need it, in next one or two years. But maybe not as well
