All Samsung Tablets Verses Each Other
During the last year, Samsung have lunched many tablets. Most of them have similar specification. But at the end there are difference.
Galaxy Tab 7.0
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Galaxy Tab 7.7
Galaxy Tab 8.9
Galaxy Tab 10.1
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Galaxy Note 10.1
All of these tablets are compared in the link below

8.9 LTE Tab isnt on there
Note is the best.
Tablets are first and foremost about screens. I've had most of them and I can honestly say that the 7.7 is so way out there above others, there's no comparison. The 7.7 in super amoled + is absolute the reason to get a tablet. If I had to sell a person his first tablet, without knowing him, I would take the 7.7 with me. So thin and classy, can't go wrong with it, well, until you really try the note.
When you get the note, you'll see how cool the pen is. A pen with thin tip that is.
The bigger tablets need urgently 1. A pen, 2. Crazy high resolutions.

I have a Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus GSM.
I have been running the Stunner 4.5 ROM for the Galaxy Note for the last day.
I don't know why, but I still find the Galaxy Nexus GSM a little smoother. I also ran the Antutu Benchmark and the Galaxy Nexus scores about 1.5K higher. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? I know that the Galaxy Note has a Better, Faster CPU and a Faster GPU. So, I don't know why this is happening.
(Probably because the OS is better on the Galaxy Nexus? (Or is it just because the Note has such a huge screen it has a problem pushing the power to the screen)?
I was just wondering if anyone had any idea.
Thanks!
Also, I found out that when you touch the screen on the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy Note at the same time, the Galaxy Nexus seems to respond a little quicker.
Is it something with the display? It's like comparing a Rear Projection TV to a Plasma. The Plasma has a little more lag.
I can buy a brand-new, unopened-in-box Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 or 8.0 on Craig's List for $300. I'm deliberating which one I should get. I'm leaning towards the 8.0 because of its portability. (I'm coming from a Galaxy Tab S 8.4.) Which one would you get and why?

9.7, because I use it mainly for reading and browsing desktop mode websites.
I bought the 8" and previously I had the Note 8.
I prefer the 8" for portability, light, easy to hold.
I had a 10" before, not Samsung and I don't feel I'm missing anything by having the 8.
I wish they had upgraded the Note 8 but mine no longer kept a charge for more than 1 -2 hours.

Almost certainly the 9.7 model. Its still highly portable and the extra screen area makes all the difference.
I went from a Note 8 to a Note 10.1 to the S2 9.7. I'd definitely recommend the 9.7". It's extremely light and portable and it seems like there's a bit of a better accessory selection for the 9.7"".
Oh, and according to math the screen is approximately 1.7" bigger
I had the 8 for a day, cause i thought it would be nice to have a smaller tablet, and it just wasn't working for me. So i went and got the 9.7 version and it's much better, for me.

I prefer 8.0 and using it now, great for reading and gaming in hand. Previously I always get bigger edition +/- 10" tablet and I was wrong getting it, it is too big and troublesome on handheld gaming.
Or should I just hang on to my trusted, first-generation Tab S? It would cost me about $100 to upgrade to the S2 if I take buying a case and tempered glass screen protector into consideration.

I looked into this a bit more. I took my Tab S 8.4 to Best Buy and did a thorough side-by-side comparison with a Tab S2 8.0. I've concluded it's really not worth upgrading to a Galaxy Tab S2 from my original Tab S. It would cost me too much to upgrade, particularly with a new case and a tempered glass screen protector, and the upgrade simply isn't worth it. So I'm going to hang on to my trusted Tab S.
--Ron
Well, actually... I just found a Galaxy Tab S2 on Craig's List with an official Samsung book cover, which I was able to negotiate down to $280, so I might take the plunge after all.
--Ron
had a note 8.0 before,and I love the 9,7 screen,also its just 80g heavier (including the cover),so its not more a strain on the hand than the note 8.0 was.
did I mention I love the screen ?
I think everyone thinks it's not worth the upgrade. Me Inc. Until you get the Tab S2
And after a couple days you realise it really is we worth kt
I took the plunge. I was able to sell my Tab S 8.4 with official Samsung book cover for $260 on Craig's List and buy a brand-new-in-box Tab S2 8.0 with its official Samsung book cover for $280 (also on Craig's List), so I basically upgraded for 20 bucks. Quite a good deal! I'm going to set up my new Tab S2 tonight. Am very curious!

I ordered a Used Like-New condition S2 8.0 from Amazon Warehouse Deals for $300, which is actually just $285 after my Prime Card 5% discount, plus $10 for the skinomi glass skin protector.
9.7 is less comfortable in one hand for me, but it's a matter of preference, you probably know which size tablet you prefer if you've ever owned one or used a friend's or seen one in a best buy.

I amm very interested in getting either a S 8.4 or S2 8.0 mainly for reading books, can you offer your insights? THanks!
I love my S2 8.0! It runs much more smoothly than the S 8.4. On paper, the specs aren't that much better, but in practice I'm seeing a big performance improvement. I thought that the lower screen resolution and 4:3 aspect would bother me, but they really don't. The screen is still gorgeous, and the aspect ratio works just fine, also for watching videos. If your main purpose is for reading books and web browsing, then I'd say definitely go to the S2 8.0, unless you can find a screaming deal on the S 8.4. You basically can't go wrong with either. I'd suggest to look on Craig's List, where you can find great deals on both the S2 8.0 and S 8.4. I can imagine that many of these tablets will be offered after Christmas.
Good luck deciding!

IMO, it's the same amount of inconvenience to lug around an 8 inch or 9.7 inch tablet. The main reason I buy a tablet is for screen real estate, so the 9.7 was a no brainer.

I love my 9.7. I had a Tab S 10.5 and this is is perfect. Great size, performance is amazing. Much better than original tab S. BTW, both of my tabs are the Verizon versions

Completely unrelated to the current topic, but I wanted to let you know because I had a similar note 8 issue after the kitkat update. What I did was open the back panel using a guitar pick, and then simply disconnect and reconnect the battery. The note 8 has worked fantastically every since, getting the full 8-10hr battery from it.
Edit: I also have the 9.7. I think the format being similar to the ipad air and the 4:3 screen makes it fantastic for reading research papers which is what I do a lot. Web browsing also feels like its a couple notches better because on the phones its either too narrow for reading content in portrait or the menu and url bars are too invasive in landscape. Of course you get big borders when viewing most video content. But if you are like me and watch movies in the dark, say in bed, the borders aren't visible because of the true blacks on the display.
Thanks for your hint on the battery.
I've actually ordered a new battery and will see how it works.
I've ordered the Dot Pen and I hope it works. I really miss the S Pen
I am using mi Pad 1 for almost a year. Now I am considering to buy a new tab. I have a budget of around 200$. Galaxy tab S2 8.0 Nook edition is available on eBay for around 200$. Should I buy it now or wait for Tab S3 release hopefully that will bring a price cut to original tab S2? Any suggestions on it would be helpful.
Is there any real difference between Tab S2 and S2 Nook?
Can I flash tab S2 ROMs on Nook edition?
It seems to be the exact same tablet from what I can tell after looking at the specs, the only difference seems to be the barnes and koble added digital freebies and apps. I have the original Samsung galaxy tab s2 and it's an amazing device so I would definitely go for it contigent upon what was just mentioned. The only awful thing about the tablet is the fingerprint reader, from what I read it's using the same technology as the s5 for this. As for roms yes I don't see why it would be an issue as it seems to be an identical tablet, I have the t715 model and as far as I'm aware there aren't any stable roms for it currently or if there is, there must be a very limited number since I can't really find any.
Hey All, would anyone know the part number on their S Pen for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus? I have two generations of S Pens and cannot tell them apart.
It's usually the one with the bigger number. Also the Tab S8 (Ultra) pen is significantly smaller/thinner than it's predecessor (Tab S7 for example).
