-Front facing camera

-720p recording

-11 GB built-in storage (o.o 16 gb) +32 GB exp. possible.

Looking for a tablet for reading. Want a 10". Thinking off brand is ok, but not sure which.

Any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] mfsr98:
I think 7" will be more comfortable to read.
[General Questions and Answers] icyrock:
7 inch tablet would likely be better for reading, especially since the Kindle Fire HD and Nook HD have an amazing selection of books in there stores (especially since 10 inch tablets at that price are normally have worse components).

Are you only going to use it for reading? Or are you going to play games, too? If its the latter, it might be best to invest a little more in a nicer 10 inch tablet like the the Nexus 10 or the Asus Infinity.

Nexus if you want pure android; Kindle HD if your an Amazon Prime member (Rent a book each month from there library, pretty awesome); nook if you want to read (very light weight, nice screen, limited movie selection though), IMO. Though, I don't like the custom skins on the Kindle, it is a good media device.

CES is just around the corner (Tuesday), so we'll see if it brings any cool new phones. Which carrier are you on?

[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
S3, more dev support, easy to unlock bootloaders, not so much with HTC.

SGS2 is a great choice, though you can also compare it with Xperia S (if you admire the Timescape UI :/ ) or HTC One S (With S4 processor at 1.5Ghz not S3 at 1.7Ghz)

Nexus 7, a 10' will be hard to handle for gaming at a longer stretch.

Also no one needs to tell you about the awesome performance of this device :p

At CES, the Acer Iconia B1 has just been announced.

I consider getting it when it releases in Europe, as a tablet of my own.

Now I share a Nexus 7 with my family so any of the big performance things i'll do there I just want a tablet to tinker around with a bit as my family doesnt allow me to root/rom/anything the N7. Is there a chance this tablet gets a lot of support/development behind it so I can relieve my developing needs?

My current phone hasn't got lots of development either so that's why as well.
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
SGS2 > Xperia T > S Advance > G Ace 2.

Though keep Ace 2 out of options.

It should, but wait a few weeks before you purchase to be sure.

I'm shocked people are recommending the s3 over the one x. I'm not sure how the international one x fares, but the att version is unreal. Best battery life I've ever gotten on a smartphone (4+ hours of screen on time with auto sync, hspa+, auto brightness, and no power saver in 20 hours of use!) the s3 can't get anywhere near this, nor can anything without a battery twice the size unless it's running sense

[General Questions and Answers] linedpaper:
Trying to decide what my next phone should be. I will be signing a contract with my carrier so I need something that will be good for 2 years. I'm switching from an iPhone 4 to whatever I end up getting. I've been looking at the One X+ on AT&T. I'm not opposed to switching carriers and I've also been eyeing the Droid Razr Maxx HD, however the quality of the camera on that device worries me a bit. I want decent battery life, good camera and a phone that will last me for two years. I really like the Razr Maxx HD, but the camera worries me a bit. I'm not a fan of the S3 as it feels too cheap to me. One other concern is which phone is most likely to get the future Android OS updates for as close to 2 years as possible and if not, I need something I can root so I can get them via custom ROMS if that's what it takes. I've been keeping an eye on CES announcements and it sounds like there is some good stuff coming in 2013, but there will always be something new. Do I wait a bit longer or pull the trigger now? I've had my iPhone 4 for 2.5 years and I'm ready for something soon so it's getting hard to wait. Was hoping to see an M7 announcement at CES, but...

Thanks for any advice!

Note 2? I like RAZR MHD also... Some would say nexus 4; not sure I like that one
[General Questions and Answers] linedpaper:
The Note 2 is a tad big for me. I want to keep it at 5 inches or less. I prefer the 4.7 size or so. I really like the Maxx HD, the only thing really holding me back on that one is the camera. I was sold on it until I started looking into people's complaints about the camera and that's why I started considering the One X+. The Nexus 4 looks nice, but no LTE and due to budget constraints I need one that's subsidized with my contract.
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Wow, here you guys are, talking about buying note 2's.

And here I am thinking whether s3 mini is expensive :p

Is it a good phone? What's its price in USD? Not released in India yet, I wanna guesstimate its price here.

Imported is available at 23k INR i.e. approx. 420$. What do you think, will its price increase or decrease after release?

Hi,

I want to buy a 10" tablet but I'm on low budget

So I found the msi 10" enjoy plus and the Ainol novo 10 hero

Can you help me decide which is the best ? (considering that I would mainly use it for gaming and video playback)

Also any suggestions for tablets at the same price range ?
[General Questions and Answers] icyrock:
Yes, it has dual band wifi, it also holds the signal longer/farther away from the router.l

31mbps vs 20mbps for the nexus.

In everyday use I can't really tell the difference much, however. I prefer the nexus over the Kindle personally due to it being more customizable.

Ok, i need some serious advice now please.

I've waited far too long and I don't see a Nexus 4 anywhere around. Not even a launch date.

So my budget is INR25000 tops or as per today's rate $455 USD.

I can't spend more and get a Note GS3 or stuff.

Within my range i found - Xperia S, SGS2, HTC One S.

Also i do not want to purchase online so due to this HTC One S is also off list since the one available in India is fitted with the crap S3 processor.

Now i have read through manyyy comparisons of Xperia S and SGS2 but i just can't keep my finger on one, though i prefer SGS2.

Suggestions or any other models?

[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
I'd say S2. Pretty neat, awesome developers, good specs and i guess all you need.

I'll wait for the S3 mini to launch, price will be reduced I hope. S2 is out if my budget. Mine is 20k INR tops. So, yeah. I guess its either that or some magic :D
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Do you have an ETA for S3 Mini launch and also i highly doubt it'll be anywhere near 20k

In my case, i have stacked up 20k myself and anything over that, i'll take from my parents. That's why i want to keep the 20+ part at a minimum, so if S3 Mini is around the corner, at that price i'll better of buy that.

And yes, S2 does seem a better choice. I even hate Timescape, i don't why i'm comparing it with the Xperia S :/
[General Questions and Answers] Dark Spark:
Well, in specs I don't see there is much difference.

I want to know if the novo is as good as the cube, because there is an offer on the novo

Hi,

Can you please suggest a phone within price range of 18000 to 25000 INR.

I would like to have phone which would play most of the 3D games smoothly. i.e. A good processor and RAM. I read many reviews but still confused.

1. Samsung Galaxy S2 : Low resolution and price still high

2. Samsung Galaxy S advance : Many negative comments like sluggish, not so great etc

3. S3 mini : no idea regarding this...

4. HTC one S: good but no expandable memory and non detachable battery (is this a concern?? )

5. Xperia P : Limited inbuilt memory.

Could you please suggest a phone with good brand like Samsung, HTC or Sony in India? Also how is motorola atrix 2???

Is it safe to buy from ebay.in ?

hey all, i'm looking to get an android device and i'd like to use custom roms in the near future once i get the hang of it.

what i'm looking for;

budget: medium/low end

brands: anything EXCEPT samsung

-decent/good battery life

-used mostly for surfing, communicating and gps

i'm currently considering the xperia U and XJ and looking for other suggestions. the U appeals to me because it looks good, battery life is not bad and camera is decent(720p & front cam). the J is good too but seems to be laggy (i tested one) and the camera is a bit of a let down. I also find the Lumia 620 to be a perfect match but it runs on WP8.

any phones out there that comes close to the flexibility of the HTC HD2?
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
First of all i doubt you'll be able to find a device in your price range (or any) with the 'flexibility' of hd2

Personally i think its worth considering 620 for its krait - has excellent camera and appealing looks , just try one out and see if wp8 suits your likings , if yes , go for it :thumbup:

Out of U and J i would recommend getting U if you can live with lack of micro sd slot but i really doubt the chances of future updates from sony.

et too brute !

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

well s2's resolution ain't that bad - its still worth buying especially considering the fact that Samsung hasn't given up on it . Also i think its better than s3 mini .

Anyhow from your list - the best device is undoubtedly the krait powered one s but beware the one s sold in India is not krait but houses previous gen s3 soc so be cautious !

Atrix is also a great buy if you can find it somewhere for around 17k.

Xperia P has serious battery issues !

Ebay is reliable but delivery may take quite some time !

et too brute !
[General Questions and Answers] coldfusionhybrid:
what a pity, i loved that a lot of development went into the hd2 till it could even run Android. i was hoping there was another phone out there with a lot of dev work.

will give the 620 a try once i get to try a demo unit.

as for the U, Sony has announced that it wont go beyond ICS :( i can only hope FXP or anyone else for that reason will manage to build a JB custom rom for it.

thanks for the feedback.

Hello, I recently sold my GS3 i9300 (for a device that has so much hardware, it's damn slow) and was looking for a cheap Android phone.

I had in mind the Defy, but then I saw the Desire S and the LG Optimus Black P970 for just 30 dollars more.

Which one of those three devices would be best?

I'm looking for good screen, good audio capabilities, and good customization (I saw that the LG has official CM10.1).

I'm torn between those...

Defy: Cheaper, great customization, lots of ROMs

P970: CM10.1 (not sure if it works fine, but at least is there), perfect screen size (4" vs 3.7")

HTC Desire: Good price, more RAM, better screen.
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
No doubt - Defz is one of those few devices lucky enough to get the backing of a large dev community especially since people like quarx hasn't given up on it yet.

LG has decent development and slightly better specs so you needn't bother much even if you go for that .

Narrowed down to S2 and HTC One S.....

HTC one S has all the required specs.....but for the problem of fixed memory. Is the available 10GB memory enough for gaming and music? are there any alternatives?

Also I called Motrola helpline, they said that Droid Razr and Droid Razr Maxx are available in India,

is Razr a good option??
