I have the Tab A 9.7 version I can report the following :
Screen : is the most important thing on a mobile device, the resolution is extremely low with a weak 768 x 1024 pixels (~132 ppi pixel density), text will look ok when viewing a zoomed web page, at normal zoom, text will look grainy, picture quality is great and brightness is more than enough for any situation, if you watch videos or view pictures it's a fairly good screen, except for small text, there is no light bleeding on this panel (nexus 9 has a catastrophic light bleeding screen). You can check this post (mine) for more information about screen quality http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...5#post69214905
Performance : is fairly good, everything works well and the UI is snappy, high quality videos (1080p mkv) works great, large pdf files are handled with ease, webpages are displayed instantly, there is no problem with performance on this tablet, light gaming is possible
Battery life : with airplane mode on about 13:00 hours screen on time of mixed continus use (youtube, light gaming, reading...) or about 10:00 hours SOT with 3g enabled
Build quality : is very good
Phone calls : works great over H+ or gsm (available in my country) signal strength is better than my note2
Wifi : much much better and more stable than my note2 (which is/or was a great phone)
Hope this helps deciding what to get, A 10.1 or 9.7
I am planning to get the A 10.1 and my 9.7 will go to my wife, if anyone want to know more about the 9.7 I will try to help
See below my average bettrey life consumption in two days of use

Anyone noticed that the detail/zoom level isn't as good as it could be?
e.g. try to find Piccadilly Circus in London.
I am told that the HTC Touch 3G and the iphone shows better res.
I believe the HD is having same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532745
Is this device specific?
Anyone have ideas?
The search is great is a great app so want to keep this.
Have upgraded to 3.2 - no change
low resolution??
Got to be kidding...
Just take a look at these printscreens:

I think the OP is referring to the amount of Zooming In which can be done on Satellite view before GoogleMaps stops displaying the view and shows blank screen.
I agree with the OP, I've noticed the same thing. I don't have any answers but would love it if someone has some insight.

Hi
The zooming level hasn't changed at all, it is just the high resolution screen in a small area that means when you zoom in things don't seem so magnified than they would on a computer monitor for example.
If you take a screen crap and display that on your monitor and compare with the zoom level via a PC and I think you will find them the same.
Regards
Phil
I think it's true to say you need very good eyesight to use the TD2 screen to the full

You joke about it, I'm seriously considering reading glasses specifically for when I'm surfing on the TD2, to save using the zoom bar all the time! OK, I'll need them soon anyway, but that will be the main use!
Google maps zoom level
I don't think you understand my problem - maybe you don't have the same problem?
See the 3 screenshots. 2 taken from Opera and one from Google maps.
The Google maps is at least 2 or 3 levels of zoom less than that from using the browser.
I'd appreciate it if somone with the Xoom would answer this question.
Back in Android 2.01 and earlier builds, the android gallery app had 24 bit color depth. Beginning with 2.1, they downgraded to 16 bit color. As a result, the gallery shows fewer colors and instead of smooth graduated tones you get distinct bands of color. Skies, bacgrounds, etc. look horrible. Here's a visual example of the difference:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What's puzzling is that they downgraded the gallery app (which, more than any other app should make images look their best), yet the web browser still uses 24 bit color depth. This is the equivalent of the music app making your high quality music files sound like AM radio, while the same file sounds perfect as a ringtone.
All the third-party gallery apps in the market, except for Multi-Touch Gallery (Bread and Butter, or B&B), also use 16 bit color depth. B&B isn't a good soloution because it's buggy, and easily jumps to next and previous image when sliding around a zoomed-in image, and I think it's no longer maintained or supported by its developer.
Additionally, the default gallery down-sizes large image files. I have images that are only roughly 1700 x 2000 pixels that, when I zoom in 1:1 in the gallery look badly pixelated like a low-resolution image. The same file viewed in third-party gallery apps like JustPictures and QuickPic shows the detail when zoomed in.
I don't get why Apple can get this right with the iPhone and iPad, but Google gets it so wrong. They didn't fix these problems with Froyo and they didn't fix them with Gingerbread. As a photographer hoping to use my smartphone and, hopefully, a tablet as a mobile portfolio, that this is fixed in Honeycomb. Can someone confirm?
Anyone know the different by activating mobile bravia engine (or not)? I see it just make no different at all. Just what I am thinking, may be not activate MBE can save more batt life. But this just my thought. Any one can give more acurate informatiom?

I think also disabling it is a battery saver
Wouldn't it only be activated when watching videos or pictures anyway? Can't imagine it taking too much energy when not actually needed...
From a norwegian site, Mobili.no
"This technology improves image quality when viewing movies or scroll through pictures, and are passive when navigating the main menu, write messages or doing other things that do not necessarily demand the highest image quality.
Bravia Engine is not hardware based. We are talking about software that processes your media and make sure we give them the best possible presentation on the screen.
And the image quality, there is nothing to say on. Sony Ericsson Arc delivers stunning quality, and both pictures and photos looks very good on the 4.2 inch screen.
You can however disable the Bravia from the options menu, if you prioritize battery rather than image quality."
It is only effective when viewing multimedia content. I turn it off after I found the screen itself is good enough for me.

Hello all, after getting my LG G4 yesterday I have noticed the screen on my unit exhibits a yellowish tint, especially whites look too yellow for my liking. Now, because of Boot-gate I don't want to root it this early just in case ( although I have a 607 serial number so chances of that happening are significantly smaller.)
So I researched some fixes, tested some apps and came to the conclusion that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.quickdoc.screenbalance app is the best solution if you are not rooted.
Because, unlike all other apps, it is not an overlay but rather uses the built-in accessibility service baked into android, it is much more accurate, is system wide ( so yes, the virtual buttons as well!) and is more energy efficient.
Now the problem is that functionality is pretty limited if you are not on the pro version. By any means , use ''your way'' to get the app because I love to support devs but asking 3 euros is just too much for a very simple app. Please support the developer however because without him we would not have had this amazing solution
My settings are as follows: (Please note that the screenshots are not INDICATIVE of the real thing, in real life it is much less blue.)

Before and After
Feel free to post your configuration as this is still not perfect, I would love to see them and try them out to come to that perfectly calibrated white balance
Tips and tricks: Use the LG G4's feature to pin the app, this way the app will stay even when you clear all
... ( add suggestions I will add them)
Hello Xdekker I got same problem too. Thanks for ur conclusion. I have SN 607 too and bought from Europe. Maybe our G4 production in same batch.
Then I downloaded the app, pin and block the notification. Its look much better now. I hope LG update the system to add white control in the developer option just like Nexus 5X.
Sorry for my bad English...
