Hmm, annoyingly, if i were to live in the US, I'd do that but im livin' Singapore and prices r goddamn high. Weirdly, i can get a 16gb Mi3 with S800 pro for a Moto G price here but a Nexus 7 2013 here is 299USD. So rite now i'll consider a Xiaomi Mi3 + Chinese Tablet. In total, id be spending 479SGD which is 383USD. Still quite expensive but meh.

Btw the Chinese table in opinion is actually by far, bettrr than Nexus 7. Go look up for Pipo M7 pro. It costs 119USD here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SGWUser:
Mi3 is a very good choice, but I wouldn't spend the money on a Chinese tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Well, some Chinese tablets are okay...

One must *really* do one's research. I recommend the SlateDroid.com forum.

My last tablet was a Chinese tablet, Ainol Novo 7 Crystal. It can be rooted easily, and one can install CWM or TWRP on it... by merely copying a properly named .cpio file into the root directory of the MicroSD card. There were CM9 and CM10 versions for it, and I got real good mileage out of it.

Stopped using it when the display failed after 2 years of constant use...

Pipo M7 eh? Interesting...

I happen to be on the lookout for a new tablet. But I prefer 8" tablets, so if the M7 is a 7" tablet, I'll pass.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
Yeah, the world of tablets are so diverse... But somehow Chinese ones you name never made their way to my country. Would definitely try that Pipo M7. Cheap enough... ☺?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:


The Pipo M7 Pro is an 8.9" slab. The specs are mediocre, you get a RockChip 3188 Quad Core Processor clocked at 1.6GhZ, a Mali-400 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of ROM (expandable via microsd card) and a 1920x1200 IPS display all for $199.

I've seen reviews and this slab can get 17000+ pts in AnTuTu tho i dont bother, they're just numbers...

Oh, did i mention that this also comes with a 3G model?

All of this may sound jolly but you should see the reviews!

About availability, thats abit of a concern for me either, tho there are a few shops that sell this, i have to hunt for them to get one. Luckily, because Pipo is a popular brand in China, heres the Online Shop they made http://www.pipo-store.com/pipo-m7-p...droid-4-2-tablet-pc-gps-8-9-inch-ips-2gb.html

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Ouh yeah, Pipo also released their M9 Max or smth like that, its just the same internals but a bigger 10.1" screen and a dual firing speaker at the back. 150SGD which is like 119USD, for this and its the last stock available :( Man, i really sound like some promoter or smth :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
8.9" eh? Now that sounds more promising...

The specs don't sound so bad, actually... enough for my needs, me thinks.

Although I think I'll pass on the 3G option; I don't think I want to add yet another cellular bill to my expenses :P

Anyways, thanks for the link! I'll check it out, fer shure!

Hmmm... reading around in SlateDroid, it seems that I would be better served with the following tablet: http://www.ramos-tablet.com/ramos-i...tel-z2580-cpu-2ghz-dual-camera-hdmi-16gb.html

It has Intel Z3... something something processor, and many said it's waay better than the RTK processor in PiPO or Ainol...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Ouh man, i forgotten about the guys at Ramos! Well, the only tablet they made is the Win 8.1 & Android 4.2 Dual boot tablet, by far, it looks cool!

About the Intel processors, the link said that the tablet uses a Z2580 processor not a Z3xxx one and I'd stop right there already. Dk about the guys at SlateDroid but the Intel Z2xxx processor is the 2nd gen Clovertrail ones and they're featured on the Asus Zenfone 5. Yeap, exactly the same specs as the Ramos.

Now something you'd wanna know is that the Asus Zenfone 5 had perfomance issues. Reviewers had already reported about that. Still, what Intel said about the features of the CloverTrail series processor is kinda impressive but not so in reality. The GPU especially, is the same GPU on pretty much every MTK6589 chinese phones. From some high FPS videos, i dont think the GPU is enough to even play Asphalt 8. I think thats why Mediatek decided to ditch 6589 and go for the 6582, basically, the 6582 pro uses a Mali 400 GPU and HD games do run superb for the price.

What you should be lookin' for is the Intel Z3xxx processor. Theyre called the Bay Trail series processors and omg its awesome. In AnTuTu, it managed to get 33000+ pts!!! Its processor is featured on the Asus transformer T100 and yea, that processor can run a full Windows 8 WITH super slight lags. Thats Windows 8, but Asus (again) featured the processor on the very latest Android 4.4-ed, Asus Padfone 7 (2014) , i can't remember abt the screen size though, but it shld be less than 10.1"s. For the price, its very cheap from what reviewers say. I think it costs $200~.

For comparison on RTK and Intel Z3xxx processors, clear winner is the Intel but the only downside is loading time... Some intensive games load quite a while on the CPU. No idea why tho :o

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Whoops, sorry about the misquote of the processor number.

However, this thread at SlateDroid is full of praises for the perfomance.

The 'problem' for the Asus Padfone 7 is that it's 7" in size, and that's below my hard non-negotiable range of 8.0" - 9.0".
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
About the Ramos i9, i have no idea about perfomance. But what i do now is, if you are the sort of person who use web browsing and some video playback, i think the Ramos i9 is perfect for ya'. From what I saw on certain YouTube videos about the Zenfone 5 being sluggish, i guess thats just the bugs on its ZenUI. So yea, i prefer the PiPO tho, many ports and a few cusroms are out also :)

Guys im finding a fix for my Power Off Loop Issue. Ive read online and ofc the power button is soldered to the mainboard. Then then got me thinking, why not just remove it? So i did another research on that and it was possible to turn te phone back on without it and some Galaxy S3 users who were tired of the same issue actually did remove the Power button. All of them use the soldering technique which idk. Theres only 1 video i found that shows you can remove the button without solder tools but just with scraping it off with a flat head screwdrive.

Im trying it now and will report back to you guys if i can revive my first community friendly phone. ;)

At mean time, can anyone throw in suggestion on how to remove the power button? I did the scraping method and it took quite a loong time to do. :)

It's sad that things like these still happen in the so called "civilized" world where people like to think about themselves as better than previous generations. People get born and people die, every day. People love and people hate, every second. But people should not kill people, on purpose, ever.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
" Muslims wish each other "Eid Mubarak" after performing the*Eid*prayer. The celebration continues until the end of the day for Eid ul-Fitr (or al-Fitr) and continues a further three days for Eid ul-Adha (or Al-Adha). However, in the social sense people usually celebrate Eid ul-Fitr after*Ramadan*and Eid-ul-Adha in the month of Dhul Haj(12th and Final Islamic month), visiting family and exchanging greetings such as "Eid Mubarak". This exchange of greetings is a cultural tradition and not part of any religious obligation."

Btw thank you brother :D

It's a youtube video. That's all. And, in my personal opinion, it's exaggerating things in order to push people against each other. I hate when people stir up **** just to get views. This is an international forum and it's still about tech stuff. So let's not make it about something else. This thread is for tech related off-topic things. Not war-topic. Keep it clean, people.

And just so you know, I'm willing to report any future posts with similar content.

This is not something to post on an international forum. Especially not on a tech forum. Unless you want to create panic (despite your first words) or instigate people to fight. In which case, I'm sorry, but I do not agree.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
Sorry I just want to share on this thread to determine if this video was true, I did not mean to alarm anyone.

Sorry again arsradu.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Don't worry. It's ok.

Back on the topic for tech news: I heard the next Nexus (Nexus 6), which is rumored to be a phablet, might be manufactured by Motorola! Which I'm pretty excited to see, actually. Because of their current technology and ideas they put into their phones, the build quality, signal strength etc. They've got their pros and cons, just like any manufacturer on the market. And I think this would be pretty cool. :D But since it's gonna be a phablet....I will probably say no to buying it.

Now, about phablets in general...maaan, unless they're gonna give us bigger hands too, I don't quite see the comfort in using one. At 5.9" or 6", that's just too freaking big, for my taste. I might as well buy a real tablet. :))
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:
Motorola got good over the years :P

I'm glad I'm not the only one not liking "panphones" though, they really annoy me. I'd rather buy a normal sized phone or just a tab than a middleware as well.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Idc about screen size or anything is just of it has good perfomance and display I'd definitely buy it. That's unless if the pricing is low which will be cos Motorola make cheap good phones.

Hey [MENTION=4825437]Christopher83[/MENTION] ,

What do you think of this? https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget/

Mike seems to use it in his LX kernels and I find it interesting, but I'm curious if it would at all work on either Samsung 7x30 devices?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Yeah, it's all a matter of taste and size, I suppose. I prefer something more pocketable. I don't really enjoy having a ping-pong paddle in my pocket. For all the ones with bigger hands, bigger phones might be ok. But how big can anyone's hands get? :)) I mean, I don't know...to me, if you need two hands, a crane and a team of well trained professionals to carry it around, that's not a phone. That's a mammoth! :)) Also, if your fingers need to do a 100 miles sprint around your phone so that your thumb can reach the top left corner, that's not a phone, that's the Le Mans circuit and you're more than likely doing it wrong.

And yeah, since it's gonna be a Nexus, the price is probably gonna be low. Or at least affordable. As for the performance, yeah, I do expect something pretty damn fast for a phone. But for that price...some things need to be cut off of the list of high-end stuff to include into a phone. Like the build quality, the materials used, the display panel (not necessarily the size or pixel resolution, but the actual panel type), the camera etc. I don't know... I'm just saying. If it's gonna be cheap, and if the performance is gonna be high, then something else needs to be low, to keep the price down.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:
Usually no storage slot cuts the price down pretty notably, and the Nexus line is known for not including that. :P

Or they just want to trick us before releasing a dual SD slot phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Yeah. Sure they will. :))) But yeah, you've got a point right there. I forgot about the non-upgradable storage on the Nexus lineup. Honestly, I don't think they're gonna include that anytime soon. And I wish they would, but...not much I can do. I'm not sure why they didn't include that..basically ever. I think the only Nexus device that had removable storage was the first Nexus, the Nexus One, which was made by HTC. After that, none of the others had expandable storage (for as far as I know). And I don't know why. I wish they did, honestly. That's one of the reasons I'm not a big fan of Nexus phones. But yeah, it might be a good way to cut down the price of the finished product.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
I seriously dont understand why the latest Nexus lineup doesnt include SD expansion. I mean, its gonna be a Nexus device so if they add in a 4-8gb phone with expendable storage, devs can swap SDs or smth and that would be incredibly useful.

For the future Nexus "phablet" I have this aching feel that its gonna feel like the Moto G and surely include a bad camera. I'm guessing they'd put their Nano Coating also? Now im not saying that the Moto G is a bad device, its just that the design, storage and battery really is a downside for meh. :(

And let me know what u guys think about it ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Well, I'm not a big fan of chinese phones. And the one above is no exception. :) The CPU and GPU seem to be ok, camera also seems ok. But...I've got no info regarding the display (especially screen resolution for that 5" panel and panel type), the front facing camera, the operating system (Android is not quite enough) and battery capacity. Also, no word on connectivity (MicroUSB?) or storage expansion (MicroSD card?). But maybe it's got no storage expansion... Anyway, it would have been nice to specify that too. Also, if you're planning on rooting it and installing CyanogenMod on it, you better search for a thread here on xda developers forum and see if there is actually such a section for this phone and if there is a CM version for it.

So, my opinion is that if you've got $100 to spend on that phone and nothing better to do with the money, go for it. But I would suggest saving some more and getting something better. :)

Cheers.

Hmm... try comparing the specs on gsmarena.com first?

Edit: I did some research, and hands-down, the MSM8960T chipset on the SP beats the MSM8930 chipset on the S4 Mini, any day.

Of course, the Adreno320 on the SP must drive a higher resolution screen (720p), but in my experience (I own an SP), it's not a hard work for the 320. After all, SP's big brother, the Z, also uses the 320 and not many complain about the Z's gaming performance.

Besides, some games (World at Arms comes to mind) actually uses the higher resolution to display a larger playing field.

Finally, the SP, like other new Sony phones, have minimally customized Android. It's quite close to AOSP experience. While the S4 Mini, like *all* Samsung phones, comes with the heavy customization known as TouchWiz.

So, tl;dr: I'll take the SP any time over the S4 Mini.
