Will anyone consider the upcoming tab 3-8 to replace your nexus 7? I may as the followings are improvements that I am looking for:
1) larger screen with thinner bezels,
2) miracast/allshare cast support
3) phone call support (don't need this everyday, but great to use as second mobile when on a trip)
4) LTE support
5) microsd (which the new nexus certainly will not have)
But all these will render useless unless the new intel cpu is better than the current tegra 3. Anyone knows anything about this cpu?
Any views and followers?

I don't think the 8.0 with have the new intel cpu on board, only the 10 inch version will have.
It a shame the tab 3 8.0 won't have IR and NFC on board :crying:
It's too slow.

Nexus 7 still doing utterly splendid, thank you.
I'm currently happy with my collection of electronics. Baring any unforseen accidents I don't plan on "upgrading" my tab, phone, laptop or any other electronic for minimum of another year. But when I do my android devices will remain nexus whenever possible.

I would like to see a Nexus 8. I would like the larger screen, but I don't much care for Samsung's newest tablets with the physical buttons. They are awkward when the tablet is rotated.

Pretty pricey for minor differences. If you were tabletless and looking, even then, the extra $130+ difference over the N7 is hard to swallow for basically Pen support.
If you are a current tablet owner, the difference becomes more difficult and borders retarded. Unless you specifically are in the market for a 7-8" tab with Pen support, this is a hard sell at that price. If you don't intend on utilizing the pen, you are much better at saving the cash and buying a N7.

The OP was referring to the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8 inch tablet.....Not the Galaxy Note 8 with the pen. The Galaxy Tab version will be much cheaper. It only has a duel core CPU and 1.5GB RAM.

All these N7 compared to threads popping up, and to each their own I believe........but.....the N7 isn't perfect perhaps, tho what is.....but for price, performance, support from devs and quick Google updates....the N7 is the best all around 7" and similar size tablet going....and that is very hard to argue.
Nothing wrong with asking about other half size tabs, but realistically .....so far anyway.....none can beat it. Especially that other one people went on about that's a no name tab basically and will doubtfully ever see an official update. And good luck with support if you have problems.
Just saying. Of course the rumored new N7 will probably be better. Acer really got the N7 built ahead of its time. K.....an sd slot would've been nice. Lol

I believe the tablet is using an Intel Atom processor. Dual core doesn't mean it's slow/slower. The architecture of the processor makes it probably faster than the quad core Tegra 3.
Edit: Good example would be the dual core CPU on the Nexus 10.

Nexus 7 32gb = 200 euro
Galaxy note 8.0 = 380 euro
So 180 euro voor 1inch extra. No thank you
Edit : didn't know that there would be a 8inch tab 3

I think I was reading that the Atom is an x86 processor that "emulates" ARM used for Android. Samsung is getting cheap and using a platform they can market having Android and another for Windows 8. The good thing is that if the devs get it, it could possibly dualboot Android and Windows.
The Atoms were never really powerful but these are the new generation chips. Only time will tell.
As stated earlier this thread is for the TAB, not the 8" Note... which only further pushes me to believe that the N7 is still the better buy, even today.
I actually tried the Asus Fonepad and it also uses the Intel chip but single core. It feels a little slower than n7 but not by much. It runs pretty much all apps including all the games. But it didn't run firefox for some reason. The intel chip is dual thread; so single core acts like dual core...? And the new chip is dual core.... Therefore, I don't think it would be slower than our beloved N7. In fact it should be faster..
And I really want miracast support.

Not great but definitely decent. Hard to decide N7-2 or this....
N7 Advantages based on rumored specs:
- better screen resolution
- better processor Snapdragon 600 or S4 pro
- lots of custom rom optimize the device
Tab 3 - 8.0
- bigger screen (to me this is more important than resolution as I don't mind the current N7 screen resolution) with thin bezel
- Phone calling capability
- micro-sd card memory expansion
- Possible split screen multi-tasking (this is also important, as I need to view Pdf and type notes in my meetings)
What is your take?

I sincerely doubt it. Google's been building x86-optimized versions of Android for some time, so I can't see why Samsung would shoot themselves in the foot by using an x86 chip to emulate ARM. Especially when we know they're collaborating pretty closely Intel.
In any event, this discussion is moot because by all accounts, the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 will not be Intel-powered at all.
Also have to look at support from Samsung. How will this be updated are we looking at timely updates or will it be forgotten like the tab2 was. Will it get the new key lime pie is when its released or will it be stuck with jellybean? We seen so many phones that could handle the newer os that came out over the years but the phone makers seem to not want to be bothered with it. Or they drag their feet and by the time the phone gets the updated os its already obsolete. Case in point by the time the HTC thunderbolt got ICS Google was already on 4.2 jellybean.
Why all my devices for now on will be Google nexus devices. Seems to get more quicker updates and they support their devices a lot longer than other makers with their mentality of use it once and throw away for something new.I am happy with my n7 and will use it for either as long as I have it or till it breaks or I give it to my son. I got my son a tab2 and I was disappointed in it. I always heard great things about Samsung devices but that price of crap makes me question Samsung devices for the future purchases I may make.

yeah probably but the thought of having a dual core compared to the upcoming quad-core tablets that are probably going to have tegra 4, snapdragon 600 800s just makes it seem slow and probably will be.

GET THE N7 2 it will be a beast and have probably tons of devs behind it and who needs phone calling capabilitys.
Has anyone heard about this rumor before? Intel entering into the mobile market with a non-ARM cpu? Am I reading this correctly, its possibly four times the performance of a Snapdragon 800 CPU, and 64bit to boot?

Damnit, just when I "find" a procesor I can trust (LG G2's Snap 800 is awesome), the next Nexus tablet might not use it.
I guess if this is true, I'll be holding off for a while after it intros to upgrade from my 2012 to the new one.

LOL, Yeah I agree... All of a sudden my decision not to upgrade to the 2013 N7 seems like was perfectly warranted. WOW, kinda hard to wrap my head around 4 times the performance. Lets hope its not at the cost of 4 times the power consumption, hahaha. Even with a bigger battery it might get to warm to carry around without using it outdoors in a stiff wind. lol
Seems like a kinda far-fetched rumor.

I was thinking the same thing.. But it was 70 two days ago then the next day 12 deg with 2 inches of snow ..
Nothing Surprises me anymore.
Intel has already announced the CPU family weeks ago, and it is no longer a rumor. They have one called the Merrifield Z3480, which is a dual-core and runs at 2.13 Ghz, and another Called Moorefield Z3580, which is Quad-core and runs at 2.35 ghz. Both are native 64bit processor SoC's and combine many of the devices needed to perform mobile functions.
Here’s a look at the Intel Z3480 Merrifield SoC:
2.13 GHz dual-core 64-bit-ready SoC (Intel’s 22nm process technology on Silvermont microarchitecture)
13 MP support hardware-capable; 8 MP enabled on Form Factor Device (FFD)
LPDDR3 memory, 2×32 bit, up to 4 GB; 8.5 GB/s
USB 3.0; eMMC 4.5
Android 4.4.2 OS support
1080p 60 fps video recording and playback
H.265 (HEVC) and VP9 support <--- This is amazing
Imagination PowerVR G6400 GPU
Intel Mobile Wireless Display (Intel WiDi)
Intel XMM 7160 LTE Modem for 4G, 3G and 2G
Bluetooth 4.0 low energy, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac)
Digital Rights Management (DRM) support
HDCP 2.x for premium content over HDMI
http://www.intomobile.com/2014/02/2...aimed-tablets-and-smartphones-z3480-and-z3580
The only thing hard to believe for me is the fact that Nexus may get it. I mean a SoC like this is bound to be expensive, right? Intel isn't known for supplying cheap processors. I would think just the SoC alone is going to be $200. No?
Looks like there is also talk of a Nexus 6... My only question is are these devices just gonna keep getting bigger and bigger????
Seems like soon we will have the nexus tablets with 15 inch screens!! I like the size of my n7 and I hope they keep it.

I think eight inch is better than seven. 6" 8" and 10" seems perfect. They do not design these to cover a need, they design them to sell them. Sadly, humans think when a number goes higher it is automatically better. Even when you realize its not, your brain continues to work that way. If they released another Nexus 7, it would not sell as much as the new Nexus 8.
8" could be done the same size as the nexus 7. Might not be too bad. Personally I'd like something bigger for NY next tablet but I don't want an Intel processor. They are usually weaker on graphics and some apps are not compatible.

Also think about what LG is doing with bezels... You could get an 8" display in the size of the Nexus 7 frame today, or with very little increase in size.
Not saying LG is the OEM or anything, but bezels are getting smaller and smaller, which means larger screens in the same overall device size.

Scary, but not surprising coming from Intel. The more I think about it the more I don't like the idea of an Intel processor. Too many bad memories of the crappy atom processors in netbooks don't help.

Yeah, I like that idea about less bezel, but I also do not want zero bezel, or some of your fingers flesh while holding it could get in the way. Maybe 1/8 or 1/4 wide bezel, no more. I just know I want a 8" or 9" screen tablet for doing business while I am still in bed. I usually wake up about 5 hours after going to bed, and I can't keep from checking email, paypal, ebay, replying to client questions and customer concerns, etc. I spend 45 minutes every morning and I find the screen and font sizes too small on the N7. I know I can change font sizes, but it just don't fit right. I think another inch, or inch and a half, would make it a little bit better to do business while my eyes are still tired. After 45 minutes my eyes are extremely sore from the constant focusing, and trying to read. Maybe larger fonts and more screen real-estate and my eyes wouldn't get so tired. And I feel that 10" may be just a little too big to snuggle with, lol... But I don't know...
Yeah a 6" phone would be stupid. So, maybe a 5" phone tops, 8" tablet and a 11", to replace the 10?
Oh, and why on earth would it not be good for custom roms and Intel processors? The worlds best chip maker and no one wants one in their mobile device? I would think the source would still be released regardless of the chip type and maker.

Then you need to read up. Intel has a bad reputation in the past with Linux and their atom chip. They are also known for locking down features and building things mainly for Windows.

Yes, I am well aware of their past Atom woes. But that does not automatically mean these new processors will suffer the same fate.
And it looks possible that Google may have tapped HTC to manufacture this beast...

Hi everyone,
I've had the iPhone 4 for the last 4 years, and befor that I had the 3 version for 2 years.
Right now, I'm looking for a change and it looks the note 4 will be my choice.
I've been reading this forum thoroughly for the last few days and it looked to me that the Exynos version would be right up my alley (I'm more in it for multi tasking than gaming so octa core would be better suited).
So, I've been reading all about the different versions and the SM 910-C looks to me that has 4G compatibility in Portugal... however, I cannot find it anywhere. it's kind'a driving me off... Over here the only release will be the snapdragon one (tomorrow)
Can anyone direct me to a decent and serious shop from where I could order the note 4 I want (keeping in mind that I'd like to have the warranty if anything happens)?
thanks in advance for your help. Looking forward to reading more around these foruns..
hi, all i can say if you can't find Exynos model, you won't be sorry with a Snapdragon. It can also do multi tasking very, very good. To me the better option overall is Snapdragon for various reasons. ( I Have other Exynos devices and they are to me similar overall.) Good luck whatever you choose.!

thanks for your reply...
I was after the Exynos version due to the fact of being octa core (just like the Alpha which tells me that the chips must be going really well), 64 bit (in the long run i'm guessing this should mean more compatibility with future OS's)...
anyone knows a good place to order them?

None of that will actually make a tangible difference in day to day usage of the device. Just buy whichever version is sold in your preferred shop and enjoy the phone. The Exynos chip doesn't have any clear advantages just by having more cores, it and the snapdragon are overall very similar to each other in most aspects.
The 64 bit is pretty much irrelevant too as it's unlikely the Note 4 will actually get an upgrade to enable the 64 bit functionality in the Exynos model. Samsung have always tried to keep the differences between SD/Exynos powered phones as small as possible, so it's very unlikely that they'll cause a big split in the phones by updating one to run 64 bit software. Even if it does get updated to use it, in actual practical use you're unlikely to notice much difference in performance.
So honestly, just get hold of whichever phone you can and enjoy it!
The Exynos isn't truly an Octa core cpu, it only uses 4 cores at one time. Samsung isn't going to use 64bit on the Note 4 in the future. Samsung have actually just rebranded the Note 4 Cpu and will use its 64bit capability later devices. Snapdragon is fine.
boy, do I feel stupid for going through 60+ pages on threads around here and trying to get the differences between both devices.
I am new to the Android world and was looking for a device that could last more than just until Note 5 is released (I bought my iPhone 4 on release... 4 years is an eternity for a smarthphone nowadays).
that being said, I figured the Exynos would probaably be better suited and you guys who actually understand about that stuff say that is all the same...
Does the fact that Nexus 6 is 64 bit influence anything for future "stock" updates? Will I my phone lifespan updatewhise be afected by that?
I am sorry if these look like noob questions to you...
The Nexus 6 is not 64bit, in fact, the Nexus 6 uses exactly the same CPU/GPU as the Note 4, Snapdragon 805 with Adreno 420, that means the Snapdragon Note 4 will get a ton of support.
The Nexus 9 tablet is the 64bit one of the two and uses a NVidia CPU.

The nexus 6 isn't 64bit
It's after MWC, and the HTC M9 and Samsung Galaxy 6 have debut. I'm not happy with either one. Is it worth getting the Nexus 6 (I'm coming from the Nexus 5)? Or, should I stick it out for 6-7 more months and see about getting the 2015 Christmas season Nexus?
If you want the Nexus 6 and can get it easily just get it. Simple thing with Android phones, if you wait you're just going to keep on waiting. Get the N6 and get the new one once it comes out and sell the 6 and profit.

The samsuck is a complete piece of trash. It doesn't even have a qualcomm chip -- its samsuck's own exynos.
The M9 is... kinda nice. The thing about it is that it is a snapdragon 810. I wouldn't call it a "bad" chip, but it is just an ARM reference design with an Adreno stapled onto the side of it. That means more heat and battery consumption than a proper qualcomm-designed core. It is basically a product that was *rushed* to market so that qualcomm could make the statement "we has 64 bitz too..." This was all set off by Apple using the 64 bit dirty trick a few devices ago. 64 bit *sounds* cool, but the reality is that our 32bit snapdragon 805's are much better performing than any of Apple's 64 bit chips, and WAAAAAAAY more power efficient.
The more I think about that chip (the 810), the more I don't want it. The reality is that the snapdragon 805 in the Nexus 6 is a ridiculously fast chip, and incredibly efficient, and very very very polished. 64 bit doesn't even offer much benefit unless you are dealing with crypto or media processing (yes, yes, nexus 6 with factory forced encryption gets a bit of a slowdown due to crypto), but the 805 has dedicated special super high efficiency hardware for dealing with all these tasks. In other words, if you used that 64 bit CPU to do these tasks, you would be at a lower efficiency than continuing to use the dedicated hardware (which yes, the 810 also has and also uses).
Far as crypto goes, source code changes for N6 device tree indicates that google is very close to throwing the switch and enabling the hardware crypto.
The next qualcomm SoC design that I am really interested in is the Snapdragon 820. This is the ACTUAL follow-up to the 805, and returns to a qualcomm-designed core, which is also 64 bit. There has been indication that this new core would be called "Taipan", but more recently, it looks like it could be called "Kryo". An interesting name, since it is phonetically equivalent to "cryo", from the Greek "Cryos" meaning "icy cold". Icy cold implies power and thermal efficiency, which are very highly desirable in a mobile chip, and not present in the 810.

I just bought one. I had my heart set on the M9, but I had the M8 and the M9 is very iterative, so I figured now was a good time to try something new. So far, I really like it. It's big, sure, and that takes some getting used to. But the screen is beautiful and it's fast as hell. I was dead set that my next phone would be 64 bit, but I think next years flagships with the 820 will be the 64 bit phones you want. The 810 is nice, and for gaming might make a difference due to the 430 vs 420, but for every day use and processor related tasks I don't think any difference will be noticeable.
If you like the phone, there's no reason not to get it, and being nexus it will get support for a good long while.
Yeah, worth it. The only other phone worth getting would be the Nexus 7?(phone) and that may or may not ever be released and if it does get released it won't be until around November.

It doesn't really matter where you get it from, Play Store/Motorola/Amazon Prime are all good choices as well as from your carrier. Swappa may not have new devices, but used devices.
32GB/64GB based on your needs. 32GB is enough for me.
Midnight/Cloud White... up to you, depending what color you want you might have to get it from a particular store.
This phone has a few flaws and if you can live with them by all mean get this device. Every phone has it's flaws but for me I can't live with the ones on this device and will be selling mine this Friday . I'll start using my g3 or note 3 again until the note 5 or g4 comes out.

Well, I'm typing this from my very own Nexus 6, White 32 GB!!! I got on Swappa this afternoon and found a mint condition phone and in my city. We met up and it was 100% defect free, and I saved a lot of money. It's still on 5.0.1, but I'm going to manually update it within the hour.
I have joined you, BROTHERS!!!
Coming from the Samsung S 5 to nexus 6 was the best choice I could've made! Freaking love the n6!?
How does the Pixel 7 with Tensor G2 have worse performance than the Pixel 6a with Tensor (according to NanoReview)?
Like all things there are tradeoffs. With the 7 you have more ram, faster refresh rate, etc. As for worse performance, your statement makes it sound like the 6a blows the 7 out of the water. It was a pretty marginal difference and I suppose the trade off is more features, and more stability for the 7. I'd rather have stability over some specs that look good on paper yet doesn't manifest itself in a noticeable way. IMO

But isn't Tensor 2 supposed to be better than the original one?
What is the Tensor G2 SoC on the Google Pixel 7 series? How is it different from the Tensor G1?
Tensor G2 is the SoC of the Google Pixel 7 series, but it differs in a few ways from its predecessor. Pretty much all of them are big.
