Which would you reconend from the 2 devices in the title and why? Thanks for any input

You do realize you're only going to get biased answers here, right?
I went for the Note because it has a bigger screen, a stylus, a replaceable battery and an sdcard slot.
Likewise...mainly for the screen size... I mean I have friends who all have 4.6 in down and it looks absolutely normal from spectator's, I on the other hand love the attention - yrs spec wise HTC one x does outweigh the phablet - you can compare this to apple laptops vs Sony, HP... the Macs have the lower specs overall yet people buy it for its unique looks and simplicity...(probably why the upcoming windows 8 look so much simpler than W7)

It pretty much come down to this
GNote: Battery life and huge beautiful screen
One X: Quad-core
I don't think quad is needed as of now, so I would pick the GNote
Another "me-too" phone with higher-end specs (One X) vs. a genuinely unique, niche device (phablet with Wacom digitizer; N7000).
Seems like two different markets.
the main improvements over the note come from the one x's quad core CPU. if you compare them both in GPU benchmarks at the same ressy, they both perform quite similarly. when nvidia announced that the tegra3 would be 3x faster... they were comparing it to the tegra2.
so the main improvement will be in web browsing (android browser supports quads), smoother interface, and improvements in apps that support multicores (very few do aside from benches).
the only thing that peeves me about the one x is that it doesnt have a microsd slot, but im sure i can work around that with a usb on the go adapter since the htc one x supposedly has an mhl port.
at the moment, im just waiting for the other quad core phones to launch to see if there are any gems. the LG 4X interests me with its expandable storage (support for 64gb microSD), but it doesnt support the 850mhz band on 3G which would be bad for me since vodafone AU has a better 850mhz network than it does with its 900mhz network. theres also the galaxy s3 (same mali gpu but with quad core, so should perform on par with tegra3) and theres a fujitsu tegra 3 phone that has a 13.1mp camera and expandable storage coming soon as well, which should be quiet interesting.
i generally buy my phones outright... so when theres competition, theres a price drop, and thats a win for everyone!
Im gona put my Note in the drawer until ICS and probably get an One X just because i wanna surf the web from its stock web browser flawlessly in contrast to Note's choppy stock browser that loses its hardware acceleration all the time which is a big let down for me.

Well what are you looking for in a phone ?
Mainly to play games, browse social network etc ?
These are the questions i asked myself. And all answers seemed to point to the note
quadcore better than dual core.

True! Although i'd get smooth browsing by flashing one of the custom ics roms available in the dev section, i wont have a complete and stable rom with all the features that samsung is going to include in the final ics rom! So i'll be patient rather than flash ics just to see 4.0.3 under Android Version..

wait to see tomorrow what is introduced from Samsung as the next galaxy and wenn will it be on market, maybe a S3 withing next week's dunno, if you want the phone for videos check the issue with the blacks on them for the note it may be annoying if you can't live with it. ;-)

Galaxy Note
I was able to play with a demo unit of the HTC One X and I have to be frank after having used the Galaxy Note since November the screen size and quality has just become so familiar that holding anything smaller just feels odd. I might be biased to the Galaxy Note for now as there doesn't seem to be any apps that utilize all four cores and any gaming I might do would be on a PS Vita or Nintendo DS.

Ahahaha true that...today I looked at my friends iPhone 4 and I just straight laughed into his face and knew why without me referring to my note....I actually would purchase a 5.5in phone if it ever came to it...actually getting hooked to these big devices though I think the note is normal...

So I own an iPhone and an iPad and I just bought a Nexus 7 today. I'm wondering if anyone thinks this os overkill? I heard a lot of good things about the nexus and I feel like a 7 inch tablet would be easier to use and more portable, plus its a great price. I didn't get it planning on getting rid of my ipad. So is having 2 tablets overkill or are there other people out there that have 2?

Nope.. Not even close to overkill and quite normal actually. I own a Nexus S, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10.
So what types of things do you do on your 7 vs your 10? Or is it a difference of where you use it?

I use my Nexus 7 as a interim replacement of sorts for my Nexus S. Nexus S is a great phone, Google has supported it well and have got my moneys worth out of it.. The problem is.. It's old and just slow.. Its been regulated to being used as just a phone. So the Nexus 7 fills in the roles that have just become unbearable to do via the phone. ie: Maps, Navigation, Music, Email writing etc etc.. It's the perfect high end day planner to grab and go with.
My Nexus 10 fits in everywhere else.. It's usually sitting with me at the PC.. When I'm doing something fullscreen like gaming, or doing an install etc I continue doing my reading, watching a movie, internet etc on the Nexus 10. Since my 40 inch LED for my PC also is used by my Wii-U my Nexus 10 is used in the same light. I can game etc on my Wii-U and keep the N10 around to keep dibs on my internet world. It's also excellent to read with in bed as the large screen and high resolution makes reading at night very easy on the eyes. My Nexus 10 is also my gaming device. There isn't a single game (except solitare) on my Nexus 7.. My Nexus 10 is packed with them.. I never have to worry about bad performance and even simple games like Angry Birds etc look phenomenal.
The difference between us being my iPhone works great so I can use it for things I could use the Nexus for. Lol it's funny that I bought it without a specific use in mind. I guess ill figure it out or return/sell it.

I have a gnex, n7 and n10. N7 goes with me everywhere and use it as a planner/notetaking. N10 stays at home. Gnex is being used as a phone (obviously) mp3 player and apps. My MacBook pro is slowly collecting more dust. My work is going to also provide me with an ipad. Lets see how that changes things.

Personally I think it would be a bit much, but it's just down to personal preference. I have a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. Thanks to the Nexus 7, I don't have anything at all really on my Gnex. Just music and a few daily apps. The Nexus 7 takes care of everything else, and it's also what I tinker around with for ROM's and Kernels.
So personally I would have no use for a Nexus 10, but that's just me. It would be fun to play around with for a few weeks, but I doubt I'd use it much after that. And due to it's size it would be home mostly - the N7 fits in my coat pocket which I really like about it.
I have the Nexus 4 and the 7. Plenty for me, I have considered buying a chinease iPhone clone (just to trick friends into thinking I got an iPhone) but there like 200$

You know, there's something still to be said of owning a device just for the sake of owning it.
Nothing wrong with keeping it around as a "toy" if you fail to find a particular use for it. That's assuming, of course, money isn't an issue. Far too many of us don't have that luxury these days...
yeah i think that's kinda why i wanted it. a toy to play with. i love gadgets. i love playing around with roms and such on android devices. i have to decide whether it was smart to spend the money or not though lol.

The 7 is a great developer device... If you like fooling around with things and customizing them until your heart is content, then you will love the nexus 7. I personally find no need for a tablet as big as the nexus 10 / Ipad, my laptop is faster than hell with 8 gigs of ram and a solid state drive so if i need something more than my 7 I use that. After buying the 7 I don't think I will buy any android device that doesn't say nexus on it though, it makes my galaxy s3 look outdated.
LOL, I have an iPad 3, Nexus 7, Galaxy S3, Touchpad, LG Revolution and a Droid X.
That is probably overkill, but whatever's clever!

Lol, I really just use my Nexus 7, S3 and iPad. The other ones from time to time. If you don't have a need for it, and could use the money elsewhere, I say return it.
All of these things really are toys/wants, not really necessities.
True. The fact that I feel super guilty about buying it means I probably should return it.

So really you could get rid of the iPad and be fine

Decent specs, camera, microSD slot and the possibility of HDMI out. Probably too late to the game, but I might have opted for it over the Nexus 7 had it been available last August. While I like the fast Android updates, I feel like Nexus owners are sometimes used as Guinea pigs to beta test the newest bug-filled features.
Eh low resolution screen is kinda a deal breaker, anything lower than 720p is a pain to use.

I think the slate looks good and is more of an alternative or maybe a compromise between some of the very cheap tablets and the nexus 7.
For me the smaller battery would be the killer. HP quote 2AH where as the N7 has a 4.3AH battery with 3 hours more use available. A four hour flight to Lanzarote would be marginal with the Slate by the time you take time at the airport into account, it will be used to keep my 2 year old entertained.
The expandable storage isn't an issue for me as I have the 32GB version. Not interested in holding a tablet up to take picture, I have a phone and a camera for that. HDMI; had that on my Nokia N8 and used it once to try it, I have used dlna to stream to the telly though.
To me it looks like someone at HP has bought a N7, looks at the pros (cheap, light,size) and cons (fixed storage, no back camera) and used it as a starting point and tried to beat it. Good luck to them but I think it will suit a slightly different market to the N7.

It looks good... but I think you're probably right about it being too late to the game. If HP can market/advertise this as aggressively as Google has with the N7, then it might stand a chance. Google are repostioning themselves as 'content providers' - music, books, magazines - and the 'cheap-as-chips' N7 is a loss leading gateway, somewhat similar to Amazons Kindle.
Hewlett Packard are a tech company first and foremost, and don't have a similar repository of IP content that they can push to make this 'slate' a compelling purchase. In this digital age, people buy their tech based on what they can watch, read or listen to.
----
Still, having said all that... it's an intriguing device... I like the microSD card slot (something sorely lacking on the N7).
If it has an easily unlockable bootloader (I don't know what HP's track record is on that), then I might consider getting one.
Rgrds,

Screen aucks no GPS thick and ugly silver plus HP logo on there automatically kills it. The HP brand is no longer a symbol of cutting edge got to have technology. It is a symbol of a relic technology company that is holding on to its last strong hold which is server technology and enterprise.
I think it's a good timing. with N7 2.0 coming soon, ppl will consider this one as a cheap alternative to the N7 2.0 instead of the old N7.
rather be a Guinea pig and get more regular updates than to be stuck with something that will 99% of the time will never see the latest is update. plus don't have to worry about all the bloat that other companies seem to love to fill phones/tablets up with. Google has also shown even with older nexus devices they have been kept updated to atleast ICS where as other devices you could forget about it. I am sure when keylime pie comes out the nexus 7/10 will see it. how many tablets the same age or newer will see that?

HP Slate 7 Android Tablet Review
Uhhh.. The Slate 7 is a stinker.
This is a quick unboxing and review of HP's latest attempt at an Android tablet.
I can't say a whole lot of good things about this tablet. I was sorely disappointed in the overall build quality. The screen was almost rubbery to the touch and it appeared to be warped and separated on the edges. The screen was odd and had almost a glazed look to it. The back camera is decent, but the front camera is not even adequate for video conferencing, let alone the occasional "selfie". The specs are sub par for the price, in my opinion. I wouldn't spend more than $99 US for a tablet like this. I have seen off brand, generic tablets that are build better. I suppose the one saving grace is the stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1. For what you would spend on this tablet ($170 US), you should jump on a Nexus 7 or a Kindle Fire HD.
This thing is starting to make the HP Touchpad look like a great success.
These are my opinions, of course.
not a bad tablet but hp customer support is pretty crap. That and the fact that there laptops are gone really bad lately.
I think if they priced it at $99 you'd have a real alternative for people don't wanna spend $200 for a quality tab. But its only $30 less than the nexus 7, with considerably weaker specs. Who wouldn't just cough up the extra cash?

Got one today. It appears it does have a GPS. It pinned me right down to my house in Google Maps.
I will say this, it doesn't seem laggy at alll. The problem is that some apps (Instagram, SiriusXM, Foursquare, UPS Mobile, Jetblue, and others) are marked incompatible in the Play Store. Apps like Twitter, Facebook, Angry Birds Friends, etc. work fine.
I'm not sure what the delimiting factor is, but it may have something to do with the resolution and how the apps were built.
Hello
Basically I have watched pretty much every video available on youtube for both phones and still can't decide between iPhone 5 16GB or Nexus 4 16GB. Obviously Nexus 4 is cheaper on Google Play store but the thing is that they cost me exact same amount so it comes down to other factors such as screen size, quality, iOS vs jelly bean, etc.
LTE doesn't metter for me since where I live we don't have 4g. I love every bit of Nexus especially new Jelly Bean 4.2.2, Photo Sphere, Google Now and the larger display. On other hand, iPhone has better build quality, better camera, battery life, apps are optimised and overall better quality then those on Android. I kind of don't like that everyone has iPhone while Nexus is something new and unseen. I do have 2012 rMBP as my primary computer so I need my phone to be able to sync with my pc but I guess there is not a big of a difference.
My question to you is which one would you chose and most importantly why?
Basically people have been saying that the Nexus 4 is the best Android experiance there has ever been, it's smooth, works perfectly and vanilla android is great. The camera am unsure about which is better, battery life is pretty decent depending what you do with it tbh. Apples solid everything works, does work well, but mostly because you can't do much. So really what are you looking for??

I have had android in past (HTC Desire) and iPhone as well and I liked them both for different reasons. I have tested the Nexus 4 that my flatmate has and I have to say it is indeed great, especially Photo Sphere and Google Now.
Right now I have Nokia E6 that is complete BS and I'm looking for the best smartphone experience that I can get and can't decide between vanilla android and Nexus 4 or iOS 6 and soon to be iOS 7 and iPhone 5.
Supposedly 5.0 will be out to the end of this year? Who knows, wait till IO and see what gets released then

I have Nexus 4 16 GB and my sister has iPhone 5 16GB (bought same day). All I can say is both phones are very good. Ofcourse you know all specifications of devices but camera quality is (for my eyes) same on both phones... Only big difference is that my sister gets 6+ hours of Screen-on time (messaging and web browsing) but i on stock ROM + Kernel got only around 4h max of screen on time.
But with custom kernels (franco for example) you can get up to 6 hours screen on time too.
No question they are both great handsets.. But if your primary use is web and messaging I guess N4 is better. If you have small hands I think it is quite wide though.

Are camera quality really so close? I looked at reviews and pictures from nexus seemed a lot worse then from iPhone.
How good can you sync OS X with Nexus 4?
Do you want the customization and freedom of Android or the locked down environment of Apple? Both are great phones, but I for one cannot stand the boring iOS. Also, I wouldn't hold off just because to see next version of iOS..I'm pretty sure we all know that it's basically the same thing with every update, nothing mind blowing in my personal opinion.
Nexus 4 is way better when using it with custom kernel and custom rom than iPhone 5. And the larger display is better for writing, browsing,..
Edit: already had some apple devices and ios is really badass for me, also battery went empty very fast

I think the iPhone is the best phone in the world. It has a 9000p screen with a 28-core processor that runs @ 24.5GHz and a 100,000mAh battery. It also runs iOS 93 which finally lets us add widgets to the homescreen.
I've never used an IPhone, but I played with them a few times. The screen is to small in my opinion.

iphone: better camera. no competition in that regard. smaller (may be a pro or con depending on your viewpoint).
nexus 4: larger screen. more flexibility/customization with all the roms. if you just want a phone and dont want to play around with all the different roms etc. then i'd say iphone since they cost the same where you live.
Just played with my girlfriend's iphone 5 the other day. It's an awesome device. Offers smoothness and overall great experience. But both devices are sort of different anyways.

My expierience with battery life (on android) wasnt so good so far.
I do own the LG G Pad an i can get like 2-3 hours of gaming (wifi on brightnes on 75%)
So how long do you think will the Tf701 last? (with and without the Dock)
How is emulator performance? The snapdragon series has some problems with some emulators. How does the Tegra 4 hold up?

But if you get the z2, max resolution is only 1920 x 1200, while the high-end Asus and Samsung tablets have 2560 x 1600, which gives a higher dots per inch than Apple's Ipad...
That may not be important if you want a tab mainly for gaming or video, but for me reading was paramount, and for that high dpi helps.
I hate the massive amount of bloatware that Samsung puts on its phones and tablets, while Asus has close to stock Android, and the keyboard sealed the deal for me. I had briefly considered a Note 10.1 with a bluetooth keyboard, but that would have been more expensive, and have neither the convenience nor the battery life of Asus' tablet+keyboard combo.
Just got one and I am pretty happy with it. In Canada, it does not comes with the dock and seeing all these threads / issues when using it, I won't be getting one
This is my first 10 inches tablet and damn, I am very surprised with the quality of the screen / resolution. I am using it mostly for media consumption / streaming, not for 3D games even if it can run them without problems. So far, pretty happy with it. Hopefully, we will get kitkat and I'll be more than pleased!
I got my dock from Canada Computers and I have no issues with it. I love the dock, extra battery, mouse and USB make this tablet so much better. It makes the tablet feel like a nice compact laptop and editing office documents is actually do able.

Cool, nice to know that some people are enjoying the dock Thanks for the feedback!
I am thinking get one, because only this one has 64g rom. But still worry about cpu vs resolution problem. Any user can tell whether the cpu powerful enough to run the resolution ? Thanks

I've only ever seen 32GB so you have done very well if you have found a 64GB model - although 64GB cards work fine.
The resolution works fine and runs everything I use it for including some games. You can always unlock, root or flash a rom which allows you to drop the resolution on the fly anyway if you need to. I find 1920x1200 works perfectly fine but I like the clarity of 2560x1600
