2012 Tablet Comparison, is Nexus 7 better?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying the nexus 7. Came across this article that compares all the current tablets. Is the source accurate? Should I buy the 16gb or 8gb one?

Specs look about right, except I think the Kindle fire has 1024x600.
For it's price and size the nexus 7 is the best. If you want full sized go for the transformer infinity.

Get the 16gb version asap. This device rocks. Very fast across the board.

there are a few not on the list dropping shortly. If you have 500 dollars i suggest Huawei media -pad 10 , 200, tegra 3 acer a110 similar nexus 7 less screen resolution but does has sd card slot and hdmi port. Might research more before you decide. and the nexus will get best support and development. so cant go wrong there either.

What do people think on how the n7 compares with Motorola xoom2 8.2 media edition which can be picked up for around 200 UK pounds...and will also receive the jb upgrade?

I was hoping that the 2011 tablets that haven't sold too well like the Xoom would drop to near fire sale prices because of the N7 but I guess not.

I think the xooms have dropped considerably in price...xoom.1 can be picked up for around 200..xoom 2 a little bit more

Given that you are asking on XDA...the Nexus 7 is guaranteed to have a massive development following. Other tablets are hit and miss. For example, the A500 has way more development than the A200, event though the A200 was one of the first ICS tablets on the market. What is especially weird is that the A200 has an unlockable bootloader and the A500 does not. But by the time the A200 came out, all the devs already had an A500. Acer tablets are very close to stock google, and they are pretty good about updates, but you never know where the development will be. So the A110 may be a great tablet...but given the massive presence the N7 has in the 7" tablet development world...I have my doubts.

It's just that i have purchased the n7 and not sure whether to keep or sell and get the xoom 2 media edition 8.2 which i can buy for a little more than the n7?

You are correct sir.

I have the Acer A100 and a Xoom. The A100 is good battery sucks so unless you can get one for around 100-120 don't waste your time get the N7. I can't really say anything bad about the Xoom is has reliable and will get a JB update. Now I think the 7inch screen is too small and personally I believe 8 is the perfect size. so I might try the Xoom 8.2 once they are cheap enough.

So you think i should go for xoom 2, 8.2 media edition if i can get hold off one?

I just like 8 inches for a tablet not too big or small. For updates and support you can beat the N7.

That is $200 plus 24 times $ the amount you contracted to pay every month for two years. Not at all the same as owning a device out right.

Get 16G
I got the 16G, would have been happier if they had an 32G option like the Galaxy Nexus phone or an SD slot but 16G is usable, I wouldn't consider 8G given that it lacks an SD slot.
The performance of the Nexus 7 is very snappy and Jelly Bean is a real improvement over ICS so if you are going to get a 7 inch tablet the N7 is definitely the way to go.

I can't find a Xoom for any cheaper than $300 still. If it was like 150 or less, it'd be bought in a heartbeat.

Do you guys think the price might go down during the holidays for Nexus 7?

I don't think the price will go down soon with so many places being sold out and play store stop taking orders for the 16gb.

Need more atrix hd users and devs!!!

Motorola atrix hd is definitely the best bang for buck.....if we get the loader unlocked it will be the least expensive most powerful device!.....plus is gorgeous!.....get ridda those one x's gx3s and get the hd.
I do not work for motorola or att or any such retailer....just an Android fanatic.....i speak on my own behalf....though any follower will not be disappointed!

Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

Yeah but no one is going to move to a company that doesn't support the phone lineup and customers in order to have an influx of people willing to develop for the phone. You're counting on people to improve a phone when they're not even using it :/

Im not counting on anything.lol......maybe i shouldve not put the word needed in the subject......its just a great device......and ive used nearly all!

Who choose motorola, who choose a different path.

Implying that you can build full roms without official releases or proprietary sources.

Atrix HD is definitely a powerful device with so much potential. We need some devs here. Moto has abandoned Atrix and I believe they won't abandon Atrix HD considering its powerful features.

I have owned a ton of phones over the last 5 years. Apple is probably the best quality, but IOS blows. After the for quality Motorola is the best choice IMO.

They may have dropped the ball with the previous Atrix models, I work for AT&T and the Motorla spokesperson guy came in to review the Atrix HD with us, picking one up myself today probably, said they're rolling out Jellybean for it soon...Wether that means this year, or 2 years from now, who knows...but he said they WILL be updating it.

Yeah I just saw this.
Thanks
My post stands correct! Just..the timeline is a little sooner

If they get this out soon it will be awesome, but if a dev pushes out a less bloated version, it will be amazing!! Either way the root is out and good things are to come for the AHD. So glad i didn't get a one x or a gs3!!!!:laugh:

Let the games begin!!!!!

I just picked mine up last week through Amazon wireless for a 0.1 a penny that's right. I had to pay sales tax thanks to the new tax law here.
Saw we have root waiting for a recovery prior to rooting though. This phone is pretty cool out of the box.
PS. I sold my HOX waiting also for the new X+ hit and see how it goes.

Not sure I would go with the DNA, it has no external SD card and only 16GB of internal memory . That makes it to reliant on cloud based storage.

I just upgraded to the RAZR HD. Frankly I didn't like the DNA not having a SD slot, so it was between the S3 and the RAZR HD. Played with my Sister in laws S3 and wasn't too impressed. So far loving my RAZR HD.

[Q] Atrix HD or Razr HD

Yesterday I lost my AHD I am going to buy one for 240$ unlocked mint condition (in Montreal), but I can have a razr hd for 280$ locked. What is the best choice. I am hesitate because the camera of the AHD is not very good and I love taking good picture.

By unlock if you mean bootloader...
get the atrix hd.
If you mean carrier unlocked...
get the razr.
Honestly the razr has a nicer design, it has a bigger screen and a nice feel to the back which is entirely Kevlar. They both have good carrier options, cpu's etc. but razr has cm10.1, which we should be getting soon. Either way theyre both a good purchase.

carrier unlocked * but don't know if it's the bell version. How can I know it before buying

I vote the Razr, since you are buying it in Canada it will be the XT925 version which means unlockable bootloader. The Razr has a bit better internals and a nice sized screen. The only reason I would go for the Atrix is the Battery mod, there is no way to "maxify" the Razr HD.

Don't they make actual kits go battery mod the razr?

Don't know the Nexus 4 very well but the GNex is too quiet and has crappy reception compared to the Razr HD.
