Reading up on some daily news, I came across an article reviewing the new N7 hardware and the 4.2 update.
The reviewer soon found out that the 32gb unit was much snappier in booting and loading apps. So he put it to the test against an 8gb unit and the results are clear.

We, the first 8GB/16GB buyers, got stolen on this one.
I am not paying for a Nexus 10 after this.
So Asus aren't allowed to improve parts in later batches? That's ridiculous, it's likely that the better memory got cheaper and so was used, keeping the BOM the same with better performance. Just because they aren't Apple and don't make even a minor change a huge deal with a new version doesn't mean it's bad.

Calm down. The 16gb was faster than the 8gb from the beginning. See: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6130/the-16gb-nexus-7-storage-performance for a rundown of the difference between 8gb vs 16gb.
Looking at the numbers, its tough to say whether there is even a difference between the 16gb vs the 32gb. Someone would need to test them the same way side by side to be sure.

You didn't get "stolen", you got exactly what you paid for.
Higher capacity SSDs have always been faster. It's no surprise this is also true in tablets. The 16 GB version is also faster than the 8 GB.
Interesting, thanks.
The 16 GB version of the Nexus 7 has faster storage than the 8 GB, the Ars Technica figures are quite a bit lower than my 8GB, anyway I've never noticed a performance issue on my device.
Between the 32 GB & 16 GB I doubt there is much difference, in a previous thread I asked an early buyer of the 32 GB model to Androbench it against their 16 GB, the result was similar.

Storage in current phones / tablets is not SSD but eMMC, both use NAND memory but there are major differences.
This is common practise with solid state storage, a 128gb SSD will be slower than a 256gb even though they're made my the same manufacturer. A 64gb version will be faster than the 32gb version. Nothing to get pissed about, just they way things worked.
Probably but seems the gains are pretty large. Regardless of the reason, I still found it fascinating that there are such big differences between the units sizes. Very good knowledge if you are on the fence about saving a few bucks on memory. No longer is the battle just whether you can survive with a set space but also picking a slower one.
Sell your 16 and buy a 32 and profit?

Reading the arstechnica article, is not clear if the WIFI 32GB version is faster as well. They only tested the 3G 32GB version. Do you think the WIFI version would have the same boost on nand?
There's also something humorous about people complaining about being "had" on a device with little to no profit margin.

Even funnier is I bet if you randomly picked 10 8GB owners and gave them a 32GB version 0 of them would notice any difference in speed.
The difference in speed is as close to being placebo as you can get without actually being placebo.

Well. As an 8GB owner, I stumbled upon this thread while trying to figure out why my Nexus 7 felt so sluggish, so my gut feeling says that this may not be so placebo after all.
I bought the 8GB version on impulse due to a ridiculously good offer, so neither the slow and little RAM, or the fact that the left side of the screen almost seem to come unglued trouble me. But coming from the original Samsung Tab + the SGII phone, I must admit I'm a bit disappointed in the (lack of) speed and snappiness of the Nexus... Had expected more after two years. Ok, the resolutions is higher and the screen is nice, but that's it.
So my Ford Escort doesnt go as fast as the Ford Mustang and I AM PISSED!
I just assumed all cars made by Ford, even with different specs, would achieve the same road results.
Dupe me and stuff.
I can say honestly that it is no placebo. I have a 16gb and also bought a 32gb a week ago. Within 5 minutes, the difference was very apparent. To get a better feel, I took the 16 back to stock via fastboot and faced them off on equal ground. I did not benchmark, mainly because two 16's can differ in a benchmark. Would not have proved a thing. So, I went by feel. Both on the same wifi network, the 32 crushed the 16 in dl time, install time, and just overall feel. Scrolling, reaction and graphics were a big difference. I installed NFS mw on both, and the 32 was much much smoother. Those are just my personal findings, for what its worth.

Did you run tests to eliminate the placebo effect? Probably not.

No, but I know how to tell which is downloading faster and installing quicker, which is lagging more and whatnot. Sometimes, you dont need a benchmark to do something as simple as monitor time elapsed. Sometimes in the age of technology, a stopwatch and simultaneous side by side comparison is still very useful. Overthinking can occasionally be a problem.
And if your gonna ask a question like" Did you run a test" and then answer you own question with incorrect and sarcastic assumption, just save your time and dont ask. As a result, I wont answer it, and let you look like the fool all alone.

Thats very true, but I compared both stock. If the 16 has a custom kernel, then the 32 needs to have the same in order for a comparison to be anywhere near accurate. You could compare a stock gm engine to a blown 383 too, but it would be pointless. Dont need a dragstrip to figure that one out.

Not to be a Debbie Downer here, but we've seen variations larger than this in N7's running the same specs, ROMs, etc. Hence the many differences in the "lag thread" and many other threads. A test between 2 units isn't even remotely conclusive.

Hi there after watching the unpacking event, and reading the full specs I dont really see much of an upgrade.
Yes they have added some good additions like the fingerprint scanner which is awesome, but alot of the other additions wont be used on a massive scale by all users.
Hardware wise, wasnt too inpressed on these either really, would of liked to see an octa-core version, plus the battery isnt too much of an upgrade.
But Ive found a clone version which in my eyes is better, comes with octa-core, looks exactly the same
http://www.goophone.cc/phones/goophone-s5.html
Again this is only my opinion, and of course others will feel different which is there right to do so.
I may even change my mind once ive got my hands on one and have a play, but as for right now, im quite disappointed with the S5.
And I am a Galaxy User myself currently having the Galaxy S3 and soon will have the Note 3 also.
Thanks for reading.
I'm sure this cheap knockoff will be worth every penny.
I wouldnt give you $100 for that phone ROFL. No 4G data (3G only), knockoff CPU, bigger battery 2800mah then the S4 2600mah with less talk time then the S4.
would be great but no lte? i'd like to try before I bought one haha.
It's so hard to find a flagship phone that looks good, has a replaceable battery and microsd slot.

No, it's not at all. The Note 3 is AMAZING! You should check it out.
The Note 3 in a 5 inch form factor would be perfect (spec, looks and feel). Why couldn't they make a Note 3 Mini?
I already own the Note 2 and it's a big too big now and it weight a lot. I currently have the HTC one and while the metal body is great, it feels like you're holding a brick.
Yes I do understand that it doesnt have all the features of the original and of course the price represents that. But I just wasnt really impressed with the S5 so far. As I said my opinion may change once ive had an hands on experience with the device. Its thoughts at the moment.

Don't you think users will use the improved camera (a major update - not just in megapixels) and the water proofing? The improved screen with higher and lower brightness? Yes the puls-rate monitor is a bit gimmicky but unlike ALL the "air" features of S4 these functions will improve every users daily use with the phone.
Kudos for Samsung for not focusing on the one-time-wow-factor and instead improving the users daily rutine.
Yes of course i did like that they did add what users wanted. And of course everyone is going to have there own opinion of the device,

Speaking of everyday average users..90% won't even notice the camera is improved over the s4, so that argument doesn't work IMO.
I won't even comment on the "higher and lower brightness" because that is just lolol. Sounds like iPhone users trying to sell things android has had for years.
I'm sorry, but people are grasping when defending this phone. What I can't figure is how websites like android central praise samsung for making Touchwiz closer to vanilla android and less gaudy....but How?? They put a freaking camera shortcut on the lock screen and gave us a white battery icon, otherwise the rom grew by about a GB over the s4 and is more bloated than ever. They are following the apple footprint by locking the phone down and offering extremely minor upgrades, but I don't blame them because they still make millions by working less because people still buy this stuff like it's the best thing ever.
Note 3. That's innovation. This phone does everything. Maybe the Note 4 will arrive with features worthy of an upgrade. The normal people can have the s5 because commercials told them it was cool.

Are you really suggesting that users won't notice they take less crappy photos? That their phone is better in direct sunlight?
How exactly is Note 3 innovation? What new features did it bring that it's predecessor did not have besides the usual performance bump?
what intrigues me is the fact the s5 uses wifi and data at the same time when using the web be great to see how that works and if it really makes a difference should imagine its pretty fast?

ahh yes that is true
but a friend of mine told me
"if you keep waiting for something better, you will end up waiting forever"
at the end of the day people will keep praising samsung and choose to buy it after finding out that the new HTC One will have only 2600mah battery and non removable and oppo find 7's 2k screen is washed out and you can't tell difference with 1080p screen anyway. not to mention lg g3 will have a very powerful processor like the snapdragon 805 but still laggy. i predict in the end samsung still wins although i hope i'm wrong. cheers
lol, yesterday sammy released info in regard to the Galaxy S5 Plus, and they called it "worlds fastest smartphone".
see http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2014/10/21/new-samsung-galaxy-s5-plus/
inside is an downclocked 805 (2,5GHz instead of the 2,65 of Note4) and "only" 2GB of ram, so the device is for sure not faster as the note4 (perhaps more fps because of lower resolution though)!!
and it's only the fastest smartphone because note4 is considered a phablet, lol
Uhm no sorry it will be faster. It has the same CPU with the tiniest down clock yet has WAY less pixels to process. The QHD demands substantially more than 1080p. Also the added S-pen software takes up a lot of ram and resources which is why the note 3 and 4 need extra gig
what about resource hog touchwiz which can bog any processor down
Knowing Samsung it's purchase semantics. S5plus is a phone. Note is a phablet.

have you both read my OP?
i wrote that s5+ will probably have more FPS because of resolution, and i wrote that note4 is a phablet...
anyway, note4 is definitely faster in terms of processing power and so on, regardless of resolution or spen!
so it's pure marketing, as eddhard wrote!
btw.: a korean s5 variant has also QHD (which the s5plus has not, as butthurtlocker stated) and 3gig of ram,
but without spen...
I don't disregard your post I just missed the last two lines. My apologies.
I personally think the s5 plus will be faster over the note 4 due to the reasons I stated which i think are legit . The QHD s5 in Korea is Definitely not in the note 4 beasty league. But regardless the note 4 is and will be Samsung alpha wolf till the note 5 (maybe the s6). It's def the better phone over the s5 plus

I really dont think on a Nexus that 3GB Ram is needed. The extra gig is needed for the enourmous software feature st of the note 4, it has a lot of added functinality sure but at the price of requiring resources. Nexus phones are stock, so lack the resource hogging feature set of Touchwiz or LG's UI for example. Also remember hearing Kit Kat was supposed to be even less of a rescource hog than JB so that older devices could run it efficiently. I wont if Lolliop has further increased this?

With these more powerful variatons of Galaxy S5, what are the chances do you think the Note 4 will get more powerful version down the line, say, in 6 months time? Maybe slim chance since Snapdragon 810 still won't be available even in 6 months time. Think I'll wait it out.

My phone's battery is running out from 100 to 0 in 10 minutes or so and I need to be next to a charger 100% of the time...
I really need a new phone and thought about the OnePlus 3t and HTC 10... (Both are about the same price in Israel)
I need a phone with an awesome battery life and camera, good display, performance and build quality... Do you have any suggestions? And if not any of these phones, which phone do you recommend?
Any one?
Well, my opinion is very biased, since I chose the OP3T. But I was a loyal HTC fan, and this is my first smartphone that isn't an HTC (after owning 5 different HTC phones).
The main discriminators for me were price (OP3T is $439 US versus $599 for the HTC10) and the fact that the 10 felt like "last generation" to me. It's true that the OP3T is really only a half a year/generation newer. But the 10 really did feel like last years model to me, with the U and U Ultra coming soon.
My last phone is the HTC M9, going on 3 years old now. So for me, the OP3T is a big upgrade. It's blazing fast, takes really nice photos, and the AMOLED screen is beautiful. Now the downsides are the screen resolution (probably only an issue if you want to do VR), lowlight photos (although I've been doing fine, and I take a lot of pics of my kids) and no SD card slot (for now, the 64 GB version is fine - or you can go for the 128 GB version).
The battery life on the OP3T has also been impressive. Plus, with the included Dash charger, it charges really fast.
The 10 is a nice phone as well. I think all you really gain (versus the OP3T) is more audio/music centric features, and an SD slot. Although the OP3T speakers still sound pretty good, even with a single bottom firing speaker.

And if both of them were the same price (the 32 GB costs like the 3t 64...).. which one would you buy? (Knowing that HTC in your country is way more known and repairable) I'm in a real big dilema
Honestly, get the HTC 10. It recently became available here in Germany for the same price as the 3T and if I'd haven't bought the 3T a month ago, I'd have chosen the HTC.

I never understood why people keep asking what phone should they buy. Most people just buy their phones only to be seen by other people what a great phone they have. Personally, I buy the phone that I like the looks of it and which fits my needs. And that`s how I got my OP 3T. Before buying it, I`ve seen some reviews which 90% were pretty good for me. The things I wanted most were amazing performance, battery that gets me through 1 day, fast charging, a stock android with a lot customize options. OP 3T has all of them. Have to mention that I had the chance to buy S7 Edge and HTC 10 at around 400 euros. But again, 3T had all the things I need, so I went for it.
Its sad to buy things just to have the best one from the market. Its not like you buy a Buggati Veiron, just to have the fastest car in your city. Same goes for the phones. Just buy whatever you like most and whatever fits your daily needs. If you want performance, go for OP3T, S7,S7 edge, htc 10, Moto Z and so on. If you want photography, go for Moto Z and buy yourself the camera mods, and so on. its very simple

I never understood why people keep asking what phone should they buy. Most people just buy their phones only to be seen by other people what a great phone they have. Personally, I buy the phone that I like the looks of it and which fits my needs. And that`s how I got my OP 3T. Before buying it, I`ve seen some reviews which 90% were pretty good for me.

I really not looking for best in market...
I just think that the 10 is better for me and I don't know if I'm right
I need a very (very) good camera
A very good battery
A good performance
A decent screen (at least 400 PPI)
And decent build quality
What phone do you think will be the best for me?
(It will be nice to have OLED display, usb-c, 4+- ram, and SD slot if less than 64 GB)
depends what you want I've gone from a Mi5 128GB to a OP3T and not sure if I regret it or not, the size is a pain for me, yes it's great for media, but daily use on the move the smaller size of the Mi5 was awesome.
Both great phones, but for different reasons.

And if both of them were the same price (the 32 GB costs like the 3t 64...).. which one would you buy? (Knowing that HTC in your country is way more known and repairable) I'm in a real big dilema

Well, they aren't the same price for me. And I'm not a big fan of making that judgment, based on a hypothetical situation that doesn't exist for me.
They are both very solid phones, and there is no reason to feel "stupid" in any case. Everyone has different preferences and opinions on what constitutes the "best" for them. So at the end of the day, the only "right" or "wrong" decision lies with you, not what others think.

I had some reservations about moving to a larger screen/phone myself. But honestly, now that I have the OP3T, I'm really liking having a bit larger screen. Not just for video, but for web browsing, and other things. As long as it fits in my pocket, who cares if its a bit bigger? I seriously think I've have trouble going back to a smaller screen at this point.
Vote and share your thoughts.
I ordered the 64gb version. I never filled my op3t with 64gb, so that just seemed like the obvious choice for me.
Picked up the 128gb.
Seems like the extra ram will be useful in the future.
8GB /128GB model. Don't think i'd use all of the storage, but the 8GB could make my phone futureproof for about two years.
I went for the 128gb/8gb version. For future proofing and the midnight black colour.
128/8 model. Seemed a no-brainer.
64/6 version.. both values are more than enough for me..
128/8 I choose. Seemed worth the little extra money for double the storage
First ordered 128 GB from oneplus.net but order delayed so I cancel the order and collect 64 GB from O2 store as I realize that on my 32 GB S7 +32GB SD card I never go higher than 36 GB so 64 GB is more than enough, most flagship phone work just fine even with 4 GB RAM, 8 GB RAM+Black color for £499 is marketing tricks to milking more money from spec. hungry people, most of my huge data stays in my laptop and external HDD and I don't install huge games in mobile . Think like £500 for OP5 if you add AKG like headphone, connector, water & Dust proof, High resolution curved screen, OIS, Micro SD slot, Refined camera chip, Wireless charging and £99 free Samsung Level speaker which is even water and dust proof and you can use it to charge your phone, in comparison OP5's price is too high, I don't agree when everyone said about cheap price or budget phone or £100 less compared other flagship phone, this is how they made cheap??
£50 for another 2GB RAM and twice the memory??
Yep I went for the 128 GB variant

Ships in 13 days for the 128 gb model. That is almost 3 business weeks or more. I am not waiting a month, if then, I can wait for the Note 8. Very disappointed in OnePlus!
went with midnight black because of color.
128/8gb go big or go home

The big girl. No reason not to, really. I ordered on Monday evening and it showed up via FedEx this morning (Thursday). Pretty spectacular service. Haven't had time to play with it much yet but I'm coming from a 3T and can't wait.
8gb/128gb Midnight Black! Well bigger is better and if you say it's not, well let's just say you're hiding something! I'll never use the 128gb up but 2gb of extra ram certainly will increase efficiency.
I just loaded 86GB of FLAC to mine, so... yeah. Good to have room! Might get a few movies on there before I call it quits.
I'm truly baffled that anyone would buy the 6g/64gb version when there is an 8g/128gb version for $60 more.
Most companies charge you $100 to go from 64 to 128,and then there is the added ram, which arguably isn't needed, but why not have it if it's available.
Honestly there is no legitimate reason for getting the lower model.

It's a cheaper option, it wouldn't exist if it didn't have any value

I got the 6gb/64gb version. I had already made up my mind that I would get the OP5 as long as it was under $500. The price difference wasn't that much for the black one so I was willing to break the $500 budget I set for myself. But it was out of stock when I tried to order it. Either way, it's still more storage and ram than any other phone I've had and 64gb was the largest SD card I have ever needed personally.
