Hey guys, a friend is offering to sell me his Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 for around 200$.
With a glass screen protector and few cases. He is saying the tablet was barely used and in a "new" condition.
I am looking for a light tablet for YouTube, some Web Browsing and maybe to show my Source Codes in interviews.
But I really like AOSP - it is really important for me to be able to install an AOSP rom. I see that there is a CM13 for this tablet, which is good.
My question is, this tablet is 2 years old already, is it worth buying in this price? Is there something better I can get new for around that price?

Well that about what they go for 'round theses here parts ~200.00€. (i.e. The T325 LTE)
So is it worth it? The Tab S is a few bucks (Checking Fleebay.de between 10~50€), more. And has seen better support from Samsung then our Tab Pro 10's & 8's
Which unlike the Tab Pro actually got Updates to Android 6 Marshmallow. It also features a Fingerprint Scanner that the Pro doesn't have.
Also the Tab Pro comes in 16/32GB Flavors, where as the Tab S comes with 32GB base, and 64GB variants.
So on that front I'd say the Tab S LTE (SM-T715) wins.
That said, The Tab Pro 8.4 LTE, (SM-T325) with its 2GB's of RAM IMHO is more than a capable Device. It can still handle most Games just fine.
And most (if any), of its problems can be traced back to the lack of Dev support of that variant. (i.e. T325 LTE), the T320 OTOH has a broader support base, and is officially supported by CyanogenMOD.
But, I wouldn't let that stop you, as the Dev supporting us has been terrific when it come to nightly builds.
But, I would interject One last thing here though, since you failed to mention it.
Is this Device in question the T320 (WI-FI), or the T325 (LTE) version)?
If its the LTE version then $200.00 for it, is ~ok~. If he's trying to flog off a T320 (Wi-Fi), however, then IMHO hes gipping you.
I wouldn't offer much more then a flat $100.00 for it, my self..
P.s. Odd that I should now check fleebay, and see that some others are actually asking for ~200.00€'s for their T320's...
Damed if I'd know what was so great about that variant, that I would dispose that much cash for one, when I could get the LTE version for the same or less.

It is the T320, meaning no LTE. 16GB of storage.

Like I said I would pass... For that money there are better options.

Like I said no 3G / LTE Modems... I wouldn't really pay anything much more then a flat $100.00 for it.
Perhaps a $125.00 tops if he was a really god friend, and needed the money.
But, $200.00 is way too much for that Device. EOS

Like I said for that, theres either the LTE version of the T32x, or you could just look for a T710 (Tab S), Which I've detailed somewhat in my first post.
For $200 you might as well grab a Shield Tablet K1. The TabPRO should be under $150 to be worth looking at now.

Few questions really about the Tab Pro. This will be my first tablet, I think I have convinced myself to finally get one. I am looking at this (Tab Pro) or the Tab S. The draw back for the S is that it has a Exynos Processor which I think will not get as much development as this has or will (due to the snapdragon processor). Is this a fair assessment? With that said, is my safer bet with the Tab Pro? I know it has been out longer but looking at the development here vs S is a big difference. This has more options and interest it seems. Specs wise and screen wise, articles seem to lean towards the Tab S but not by a whole lot. Price isn't to much of a worry but since the Pro is cheaper it helps.
For the Tab Pro, scrolling thought the development, it seems the 8.4" has more development for it? It seems the 8.4 (SM-320) has more threads going then the SM-520 (10"). With that said, it seems the two don't interact well with each other, you need specific roms and kernels for the model you have. Can someone clear this up for me, am I looking at this correctly?
Overall, it seems the Tab pro 8.4" would be the better choice? I have looked at the Nexus 7 but with no sd slot and specs, kinda killed it. I know the Nexus 9 is rumored but still no SD card slot and supposedly its going to be $300-400.
Thanks
The 10" Tab Pro also has Exynos from what I understand. I have a 10" note, and the processor is fine to run the tablet. I'm not sure what you are looking for in developer support, so I can't say if it is available in one model or not. The Tab S appears to be better supported by Samsung, as their new/most current device. If you really are looking at developer support as the #1 goal, then Nexus is the way to go. Might want to hold out for the new Nexus 9.
I will be buying an 8" tablet this fall for a gift. If I had to buy today, it would be a Tab Pro. That could easily change in the next month.
My current devices are... Nexus 5, Note 3 (broken radio ), Nexus 7 2013 LTE and a aging transformer 300. I am mainly looking at a replacement for my T300 which is my main media consumption device.
I want something 8 inches or more so its mainly between the Samsung Pro 8.4 and a LG G pad 8.3. I like the LG more in the closer to stock skin but not the out of date CPU. I'm also sorta considering the Acer 840fhd but it seems to have zero developer support. I am also considering the Samsung S 8.4 but don't like the CPU either as it won't have much support most likely either.
So is it a waste to buy the Samsung Pro 8.4 at this point as its getting old all ready for 220 as a refurbished unit? I missed out on the 199 new units sadly. I'm wondering how long until a really good cm12 build and how long it will maintain CM support. I need to keep it for 18 months or so from now for it to be worth it.
The Tab Pro 8.4 is a decent enough tablet. But I'd be inclined to wait and see what Sammy has coming, with the Pro 8.4 being a year old at this point. Unfortunately, whatever does come out, will be at a high price point (assuming they give us "premium" options like the Pro and Pro S; instead of just their lowball budget line like the "regular" Galaxy Tab series). And then the price will likely drop soon thereafter (due to lack of sales), so it doesn't benefit you much to be an early adopter.
It depends a lot on whether you value "the next big" thing more, of if the price point is your main concern. But the Pro 8.4 has a fairly common charging bug (mine included) that is very annoying, and makes me want to say "wait".
I would wait for the Nexus 9 to drop in the $299 brand new range. I miss the 4:3 form factor as I almost always use the tablet in portrait. The N9 will also likely receive an upgrade to Android M in the fall, whereas the Pro 8.4 might not even get Lollipop...

If I did it over again right now, I'd get the N9 as well. The only reason I bought the Pro 8.4 was that I broke my Note 8, couldn't wait to replace it, (use my tablet too much) and the Pro 8.4 was the best thing around at the time (N9 not released yet).

Yeah, now that I look it up, the N9 didn't release until October 2014. I though it was much earlier than that. I busted my Note 8 (and needed a replacement tablet) in April 2014. So no way I could have waited that long!
First world problems, I know. But its one of those things you can't do without, once you have it!
I certainly think it's worth it. After much research looking into most other (including more expensive options), I concluded the Tab Pro 8.4 is pretty much the perfect tablet for me. Awesome screen, still speedy Snapdragon 800, official CM support (plus some other ROMs). Plus the current $215 (certified refurb) price is truly great!
When comparing it to other options, the Tab S, I'm not sure about the PenTile AMOLED panel, but it has an Exynos SoC which is slightly slower than the Snapdragon and doesn't work as well with custom ROMs (although the Tab S 8.4 recently got official CM support too). The Nexus 9 apparently has some build quality issues, no SD card support (32GB only is not ideal since I'd want much storage for media) and the 4:3 aspect ratio which to me doesn't seem as good as Pro's 16:10. Now Samsung is rumored to announce another tablet soon, but it is rumored to also have a 4:3 screen, plus it too will probably have an Exynos SoC...
(TL;DR) I'm not sure why everyone in this thread is complaining about the Pro 8.4, it seems to be a perfect device that has everything I would want in a tablet for a great price, and is therefore the one I'm intending on getting! (unless you guys here have counter evidence that explains why this is actually a horrible tablet...)
Well, I bought a Tab Pro 8.4 the week of Black Friday at Best Buy for $199 and I love it. As a matter of fact, here it is over four months later & I still smile every time I pick it up. The form factor is perfect in my eyes. 8.4 inches is not too big and not too small. The 16:10 aspect ratio is crazy awesome. My PC monitor is 16:10 as well so it's a great match-up as it is what I'm used to. Oh, and you can't mention the screen without saying something about the 2560x1600 resolution with a 359 dpi. I would not mind having an AMOLED screen to match my Galaxy S5, but the IPS screen is still top-notch. I would *not* want a 4:3 device. With an aspect ratio like that you may as well go back to CRTs, IMO.
Some people may prefer a 4:3 screen or a bigger or smaller form factor. That's cool as everyone is different and has different tastes. However, if I were buying today I'd buy a Tab Pro 8.4 all over again.
I'll stop writing now...all this talk about my tablet makes me want to go use it. See ya later.
Howdy, folks.
I'm in the market for a tablet, and not familiar with the Samsung lineup, so I could use some guidance here.
First, I'm not sure I understand the difference between the A and S series. I assume it's a CPU issue, and I seem to recall a Tab A that I played around with didn't have an accelerometer and/or GPS, which are both critical for me.
Then we get to the firmware. I need to run Xposed and Xprivacy. Obviously that means I'll need to be able to root the machine. Would I be correct in assuming that I'm stuck with getting an S2, or is it possible to downgrade an S3 so I can benefit from the better hardware specs?
My choices seem to be an S2 at $480 or an S3 at $550 except that the S3 ships with a pen and LP, if I'm not mistaken, which knocks me out of the box in terms of running Xprivacy unless I can downgrade the OS.
Anyway, your input here would be helpful, and any pointers on unlocking / rooting would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I think since late 2014, the Samsung tablets were split into just two lines, the Tab S, the high-end line, and the Tab A, the low cost line. In my humble opinion, the Tab A line is utter crap and it hasn't been updated effectively since 2015. If you want a cheap low end tablet, you might as well just buy one of those sub-100 dollar Amazon Fire tablets. Their specs are in the neighborhood of those Tab A tablets, but Fire tablets are much cheaper. Quite sadly, I think Samsung's high end line Tab S has also lost its way. I mean, I certainly love the idea of a high end Android tablet, but not at 500-600USD, specially when it comes with outdated flagship SoC, like the Snapdragon 820.
I love my Tab S 10.5, but if I am forced to replace it tomorrow, I'll probably get the Huawei Mediapad M3. Its hardware specs are high end enough to check nearly every box, and it costs under 300USD.
Excellent suggestion. I was wondering about alternatives to Samsung.
How would you compare the M3 to the S3? Can it be rooted? The new Samsung got excellent reviews for both construction and performance, and I confess the pen has appeal. I also wanted a 10"-ish screen, and the Huawei comes in at 8, so while the price is right, you give up a fair amount of screen.
I can pick up the S3 32 gig with a keyboard case for $550, which was more than I wanted to spend, but i can live with it since I'm not the type to buy a new device every year. Or even every two or three years, for that matter.

I have purchased 5 Tab A devices, 3 T280 and 2 T555. Me the missus and little one have the T280, my mother and I have the T555. Both have an accelerometer and GPS. I don't know of a Samsung tablet that doesn't unless you meant gyroscope?
The Tab A T280 is stuck on Lollipop and the T550 runs Nougat.
I don't have issues with either for how I use them.
I also own the Tab S, but I use the Tab A T555 far more as it's light, comfortable to hold and runs just fine.

The first thing I do when looking for a new tab is xda support, if you can't get a custom rom for it, forget it!
M3 support is thin to non-existant, they are just getting it to root, and no TWRP ( I think) , other than that its the best hardware for the price. Tab s2 is good, Tab A fair, s3 just starting.
Xposed is now officially on NU, the main framework has been released, modules compatibility varies.
For that amount of cash, your in ultrabook / chromebook territory.
A tablet that does not fit in a pocket, and costs the same as a dell ultrabook with 256 gb hdd and an i5, is a bad choice maybe?
I use my t705 as a pocket device, with the aspect ratio it just fits, and the fact that's its also a very cool phone makes it a nobrainer.
Also remember the folding screens are just months away, once they are out most of the current tabs will be obselete real quick.
I want something larger format (~10") for use when doing demos for customers, casual browsing or web work away from my desk or when traveling for short spans. An 8" screen is not of interest.

Dear XDA
thanks for reading. I saw a similar post regarding whether to buy the Tab S4. I am an android fan, switched from IOS a few years ago. I have S9 phone, Tab A tablet, and want to upgrade to a better samsung tablet now.
My question is... based on rumors, pipeline, etc, should I get the Tab S4 (699CHF currently in Switzerland for LTE version), or wait for the new tablet (will there be one from samsung?) since I have a current one that is still functional?
Thank you so much
Cheers

Which version of the Tab A do you have, 10.1 or the newer 10.5? The 10.1 will have physical buttons.
The main differences would be improved performance and the amoled display. A little lighter maybe and better materials\construction?
I would have upgraded from my Tab S 10.1 now, I use it 90% for watching videos, but decided to wait while the issues with HDR playback fixed.
Also, not happy the mounting holes for cases have been dropped, I don't like the way a case will need to wrap around the edges to attach. Because the back is glass not using a case isn't an option either, maybe a skin will work.

Thanks Mujja
it's the 10.1 with physical buttons, the bargain one.
When you say "I would have upgraded from my Tab s 10.1..." do you mean that you didn't?
Thank you
Still have the Tab S 10.1. I'm using a lightweight 7.1 ROM with Viper4Android to boost and tweak the audio. In combination with MX Player it's a very capable device for playing movies and I still get 6+ hours screen on time.
I skipped the Tab S2 and S3 due to 4:3 screen ratio and was excited when the S4 was released but will wait until better HDR playback support.
It doesn't look like the Tab S5 isn't coming out this year, at least from what I've read. They tend to keep the flagship tablets a bit longer than their phones. The Tab S4 is worth it, in my opinion. I have the LTE version through Tmobile. I wish they had bumped up the entry-level storage but 64 GB is still more than enough, especially since I have the 512 GB Note 9 and my main device.
Don't wait, buy a S4 on sale or second hand. Let's get realistic. Android Tablets are endangered, almost extincted. The next product will be either under ChromeOS or won't be at all.
It's a good product and users seems happy with it (it was not the case of Tab S3). It was too expensive when release but now, it's half the price of an Ipad Pro 11 but it's not half of its quality an feature.

They gave me a $400 trade in credit on my Tab S4, so this cost me 250. Will I notice much of a difference?????

You wil definitely notice the shty lcd screen.
Did the same exchange (for S7+), and I do really love some stuff:
- 120Hz screen, this is very noticeable if you are used to that frequency.
- Official keyboard accessory isn't crap anymore, it won't disconnect easily and has touchpad. No more external mouse.
- Camera is best now, as its located horizontally instead of vertically
- Fingerprint reader >>>> Optical
- RAM improvement is great. Many people don't often see that, but if you are multitasking is quite easy to observe. Specially if you ran Linux inside.
- Audio is definitively better.
If you are artist (I'm not), S-Pen is noticeably better, more responsive. If you have some official cover, it won't fall easily. S-Pen protection at S4 tab was awful, I lost that S-Pen once while traveling.
I also did the exchange/trade in with my old 12.9 inch iPad Pro 2017 model. They gave me $500 for it which is like practically what I bought it for almost 4 years ago. So couldn't turn that down. Unfortunately Pro-Motion on the iPad Pro (120hz refresh) really spoiled me and there was no way I'd be able to go back to 60hz refresh. Luckily Samsung came out with these otherwise I'd of been forced to get another iPad Pro. Not that I hate iOS but man after using it for 4 years and then coming to Android again you really notice how restrictive iOS is.
Have had it for about a week and a half now. I grabbed the S7+ with 256gb storage mainly for the extra 2 gigs of ram. I don't tend to really use to much storage, but figured the extra 2gb of RAM would be nice. Not sure if it'll makes a difference but I figured it can't hurt and may help future proof the device a bit down the line as I plan on keeping this for years. I heard the LCD screen on the regular S7 is actually quite nice so you should like it. The speakers are excellent, get very loud and sound good. SD 865+ makes the device very snappy. The fact it comes with a S-Pen is also awesome. I find myself using it often even though I don't do any kind of drawing or art like stuff.
I've been very happy with everything so far and I'm sure you'll love it as well. Samsung did a great job this year with this tablet!

Did you guys buy WiFi or cellular devices? Apparently AT&T doesn't have the s7+ yet and I don't know if I get another carrier device will they be interchangeable or unlockable to another carrier??

I got the WiFi only version. Surprised AT&T doesn't have it yet. That seems weird. Its been on the market for like 6 months.
I've only owned one tablet with data and that was actually the first generation of this tablet, the Tab S 10.5. I don't know if you would be able to ever change the carrier though. I was going to say I wouldn't think so but honestly I'm not sure. I had mine stolen all those years ago so I never saw if I could unlock it. I presume once its paid off they wouldn't care about it being unlockable. But what do I know lol. Hopefully someone will respond who can shed some light on this for you bud.

Thanks for the reply ..... I sure hope my ATT rep is correct but he said that I could order the TMO S7+ from Samsung and that it was already unlocked .... But I guess we'll see in a couple of days!! I ordered it

Did you guys buy WiFi or cellular devices? Apparently AT&T doesn't have the s7+ yet and I don't know if I get another carrier device will they be interchangeable or unlockable to another carrier??

I just got the S7+ a few days ago, really liking it so far. I got the WiFi only model. Had a Tab S6 LTE through Verizon but I never really used the LTE as I was always in a place with WiFi. Went with the unlocked Samsung version of the S7+ since Verizon likes to remove features like Call and Text on other devices. I love that feature between my Fold 2 and S7+. Plus I wanted the larger screen of the S7+ as I use it primarily for media consumption.
