Hi guys
Sorry if a bit off topic, but I was looking for sometime for a 7 to 8 inch device that can double as a phone and a tablet, and the best I found till now was the galaxy tab 7.7
The only problem is that the tab 7.7 has an outdated hardware. Has anyone come across a new device that is inline with what I just mentioned or knows of a new device that will be released soon
P.s. I have the seen the tab 2 7.0 and it has an even more outdated hardware than the tab 7.7
Thanks
Nexus7 would be my choice

Galaxy note is "best of both" I believe its a 5" screen its a phone/tablet hybrid so to speak.

Why do you want a 7" phone? Your best bet is to wait for the new Galaxy Note 2 rumoured to have a 5.5" screen or get the original Note.
Or get a 7" tablet like the Nexus and use a smart phone to tether to it?
The G-Tab 7.7 with the AMOLED display can be used as a phone. So can the G-Tab 2 7”. The 3G international versions of course. Samsung is absolutely pitiful at updating their tablets though. Every tablet they've sold before the 2's were released are still stuck on HC.
Oh well. I just don't see samsung as something worth buying if you've already come across another brand

If your just looking for a tablet you can't go past the good old tf prime, it has the same processor as our trusty HTC one x, but with that quality of the one x, cones the problems as well.........stupid tegra 3

Yeah. Tablets its asus or nothing imho, phone function, go for a smartphone. OneX already annoys my pockets, anything bigger will give you a hard time pocketing them.

Any of you guys thinking of getting both.
Do you think its worth getting the nexus 7 or getting a larger tablet is more useful?

I have the nexus 7 and the note II will land on Monday. I'll let u know.
I think I will move from the nexus 7 to a 10 inch . (might check surface)
I have a galaxy nexus and I could not use it to browse once I had my nexus 7.
It was fine before.
I think they are quite close (Note II and Nexus 7)
Why don't you get the note 10.1 instead if the nexus 7? The nexus 7 is almost same size as the note 2

i'm thinking about buying note 2, it would be really enjoyable for me with s pen features (i'm student)
I'm still thinking about getting the nexus 7 for my son to play with. I have the tf300 and the screen on that is perfect for me but makes my s2 feel tiny. I can't wait for the note 2 on att.

Will be picking up a Note II and hanging on to the Note 10.1 since it's faster and more stable than Nexus 7 which I'll probably end up selling.
I'm getting both GN2 and Nook HD+
I need to upgrade both my old Android tablet and phone and am seriously considering getting the note 2 rather than 2 separate devices. I'm wondering if anyone who has the Note 2 finds they're using it exclusively rather than in conjunction with a tablet. I was an early Android tablet adopter, getting my tablet before buying an Android smartphone. At first, I'd take my tablet with me and use it at WIFI hotspots. I now find that I just use my tablet at home. The idea of a phablet is intriguing, but I wonder if any of you with a Note 2 find that you still need your tablets. TIA.
I probably would, but I do still use my Nexus 7, and use my phone as a hot spot.

Im using my note 2 for nearly everything now. I have the p1000 and an acer a501 and don't use either much. Except for maybe the odd movie on my acer a501 and ebay.

One device, can't go wrong.
When Samsung says it's the best of both worlds they weren't lying. I can't wait to get mine for Christmas. I had to be pulled out of the AT&T store because I wanted to play with the phone all day. Definitely can be used as a tablet replacement, but only if you already have a computer.
Sold my SG3 to move on to the Note 2, I love my Note, but still find my self using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 , just not as much. I use the Note when
Im out and about and use the tablet at home. But if I did not already have the tablet I would have no issues just using my Note
I've pretty much stopped using my iPad 3 completely since getting the Note 2. Really is the best of both worlds.
Obviously the Note 2 wouldn't be able to completely push away my Transformer Prime with it's keyboard, ports and additional screen size, but any thoughts of wanting a Nexus 7 disappeared once I had the Note 2 in my hands.
Original iPad only gets used by my wife and kids now, I almost never use it, honestly could live without it now.

The Note II is an AWESOME device and in many ways is faster and smoother than my Asus TF300 (w/ dock). Even so I still prefer to do certain things on my Tablet with it larger screen.
Now if I didn't have a tablet I could get by with my Note II (though I'm looking forward to seeing what the Next Note 10.1 has to offer).
Actually, after falling in love with the screen real estate of the Note 2, I purchased a Nexus 10 and now tether from my Note 2 to my nexus 10
Yes don't use tablets anymore.

I purchased the Note 2 for this exact reason. I wanted a tablet and a new phone and I decided just go with the Note 2. I just ordered it today and it on back order. I will let you know how it works out once it comes in.
Have a ipad1 and ipad3 and a iphone 4s. Dont really touch them at all anymore. I got the note2 because my ipad one is pretty much obsolete and I travel 2 weeks a month for work so its a perfect fit for me.
I have never had a non-Nexus device. Nexus One, GSM Galaxy Nexus (great phone), and now Nexus 4.
The Nexus 4's battery just plain sucks. That's why I'm thinking of coming over to the Note 2. At least the galaxy nexus let me carry a spare battery I could pop in whenever I needed.
Anyways, my question is, what are the more subtle differences you've noticed, and perhaps you miss from the Nexus? I'm not talking about the obvious stuff like battery life, screen size, s-pen...
One thing I can think of is that I heard light flow doesn't properly work with the Note 2 or the S3. I rely on that app at work a lot to tell me what kind of notifications I'm getting.
Are there other things that you miss from the Nexus, or that you found pleasantly surprising on the Note 2?
I have a galaxy nexus on Verizon. And my note 2 att. I don't miss too much from the nexus. The bloat ware being the largest difference in my eyes. There is so many programs running in the background on this note. You just dont get that on a nexus.
Since I can root my note I have no complaints.
I use my nexus now just for the 4g lte free tethering and phone calls.

I just sold my Nexus 4 the other week because of the poor battery life and build quality. I loved the glass panels but I was always worried about cracking either side. I now have the Note 2 and I can't say that I miss much from the Nexus 4. It is made of plastic, but it is very durable. You can run AOSP ROMs on the Note 2 without many bugs and still get considerably better battery life than the Nexus 4. I have yet to touch a charger at all during the day with my new Note 2, unlike my Nexus 4 that I was always charging. And I consider myself a moderate-heavy user.
I am much more satisfied with the Note 2 than my Nexus 4.

I had the Nexus 4 for two weeks then moved to a T889.
I actually really liked the Nexus 4's screen -- sure it seemed washed out in comparison but it was very easy to look at for long periods of time. The screen was also incredibly smooth in terms of surface roughness -- your fingers glided so easily over it it seemed like a shame to put a screen protector on.
My Nexus 4's battery was only "okay" after installing franco kernel, disabling logging and setting max processor speed to 1GHz.
The Nexus 4 felt noticeably snappier than the Note 2 in terms of UI but that's probably due to TouchWiz on the latter.
The Nexus 4 was comically easy to operate with one hand in comparison.
I traded my n4 for note 2. Don't miss anything. I was totally let down by Google and LG. No usb host. No mhl. No sdcard. Pathetic excuse for a Nexus branded device. Plus I miss the amoled tech since I remember my s2

Sold mine and couldn't be happier. I didn't care for the Nexus 4 pretty much at all. Sure it was fast but the screen felt tiny, the phone felt cheap, the screen is AWFUL (imo), and the battery life was wretched. I really didn't like anything about the phone except for the speed and maybe call quality.
I sold my Nexus 4 and went back to the Lumia for a bit first, then purchased the Note II. Love the Note II, it brought me the happiness I was hoping for with the N4 and then some.
I switched from the nexus 4 and 7 sold both of them and bought the note 2. Dont regret a thing. So what if I dont have the latest software. The note 2 is awsome its software is great and once mine gets 4.1.2. With multiwindow there is nothing more I will need. This phablet is truly the best of both worlds and it will hold me over till the note 3 arrives

Have my N4 on craigslist right now. It is a great phone but I love the Note 2. I swiched back and fourth a bit but I just prefer the notes screen and LTE when I am on a trip to a city that has it.
I'm debating rather if I should sell my note 2 to get the nexus 4.
I really like the battery life on the note 2. But I'm tryna figure out if it's worth to switch. Sorry if I have made a double post.

Nexus 4 gets the Android updates quicker. And Nexus 4 has a vanilla Android experience. Which you will end up changing with a rom or at least a home launcher. So why worry about the vanilla stock experience when you going to change it anyway?
Outside of that the Galaxy Note 2 is better in every way.
Galaxy Note 2 has that is either better than Nexus 4 or what Nexus 4 doesn't have:
Oled screen
Larger screen
Larger battery capacity
Easy removal battery
LTE (when and where available)
Ability to add a SD-Card
MultiWindow
S Pen
Smart Gestures
And so much more.....
Just doesn't make sense going from Galaxy Note 2 to Nexus 4.
Maybe trading up a Galaxy Note 2 for Galaxy S4, when it comes out, or Galaxy Note 3, when it comes out, makes sense. But Nexus 4 is a downgrade coming from Galaxy Note 2.
What is so appealing about Nexus 4 that you don't get from Galaxy Note 2?

It really depends on how and what you use your phone for. The Note II is aimed more towards power, business, and entertainment users were as the Nexus is more your traditional smartphone, used for calls, text, pictures, and apps. It's all about what you do and make your judgement off that. Let us know what you decide to do.
I was in the same situation as you, but figured that when the s4 comes out, someone would be willing to trade for the note 2 plus a bit of cash.

That is a completely absurd comparison. LOL...
like bro... get the n4 because if you don't you won't be able to use calls texts pictures and "apps"
Note 2 has more cool features, is what this gentleman was trying to get at... difference is with the note II you have the option to use them.
Two people I know personally have gone from the nexus 4 to the note II and say it is worlds better.
Nexus 4 has a sightly more powerful CPU and GPU... but that's about it. And I will add that there is nothing the n4 can handle (performance-wise) that the note II cannot.
Stick with the note, is my humble yet logical opinion.
Edit*** and hope you have no need for expandable storage. Because you can kiss your micro SD card goodbye once you get a nexus 4. Google is pushing this cloud crap a bit too early IMO. Don't know why.
I have both, got the n4 before the note.
I do desperately miss the wireless charging, but that's about it. Screen is better on the n4, especially in direct sunlight, but everything else aside, I prefer the note, but the n4 hit the size sweet spot. If only the battery was better, and the back want so fragile.

I had the Note2, bought the Nexus4 and sold the Nexus4. I did not like the display on the n4, too yellow form me. I thought battery life sucked on the N4 until I put Cyanogenmod on it. I thought phone sound quality on the N4 was bad and people complained about the background noise in noisy environments. I really don't see the big deal about the updates, CM turns them out pretty quick. The Samsung leaked firmware comes out regularly, I don't see a huge difference between 4.1.2 and 4.2.2, nothing that gets me excited anyway. I don't even like the Google launcher, I always end up using Apex launcher.
For $350, the Nexus 4 is a great phone, but compared to an Iphone5, Note2 and S4...sorry, it's not there. It did open my eyes to LG and I think they will have a really great phone this year or next, they are finally catching on.
I traded two nexus fours for two note 2s and I'm not looking back I used the nexus for about two weeks and Decided it wasn't for me, for the price the n4 is a very nice device but like everyone else said you wont miss anything leaving a nexus 4 behhind

Nexus 4 is a good phone. But battery life, audio, camera and screen don't touch the Note. I love AOSP, and I loved my N4. But the Note 2 is a better device. The one thing I miss is wireless charging. It'll be the standard on all Android devices within a year though. Like I already said, stick with the Note.

my friend has a nexus 4...i showed great interest in it and my opinion is that
Pros:
faster gpu
faster cpu
$350 out right vs $600
brighter screeng
glass back cover looks amazing and shiny
cons:
ips screen, does not have as high contrast as the amoled, undersaturated with no way to increase saturation
rubberized bezel is not really my thing
glass backcover breaks really easy, my friends was already scratched within 2 weeks(somehow)
battery life does not even touch n2, ive seen max 3hours and 30min(screen on) on the nexus 4 with sync turned off(running stock) while i can get around 6 without changing anything on my note 2, that's a deal breaker for me
id say it isnt worth the switch...although i probably wouldve bought a N4 if google had stock when i was deciding between the two
Ill be experiencing both by 2/20... just bought 3 Nexus 4s and its gonna be awesome!!
Although often overlooked these days, and personally coming to GSM from CDMA for the first time, just having a SIM is so awesome, and phone swapping will be done religiously on my part...

When note2 is about the twice in price as n4 the comparison would not be very fair. If I couldn't have afforded my note2 or had it broken, n4 is a great choice
