Some good cameras in that price range that I've personally tried as some point:

Samsung ATIV S (Same camera as the Note 2 so very good and better front facing camera than the S4 imo.)

Lenovo K860 (Only tested it briefly when a friend had one, very good camera I'd call it a hidden gem)

Motorola Droid Ultra/Mini (Better than average rear camera but the front facing video quality is sharp and clear as hell)

Samsung Galaxy S II (3 Years later and this camera still crushes some of today's flagships *cough*nexus5motoxxperiaz*cough*)

Nokia Lumia 920 (Never used it but highly praised)

Blackberry Z10 (Need to be really steady and in good light but it's capable of good pictures in optimal conditions)

Sony Xperia V (One of the better cameras on an Xperia)

For a budget 7 incher, Nexus 7 2013 is best... I am using our since 6 months and it's really awesome... Never felt like a $200 tablet... U may buy LG G PAD or Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 if u want larger display.

Anyways you can't go wrong with Nexus 7 2013 due to great display, ability to run ANY game brilliantly (yeah it drops frames in asphalt 8 max settings but high is good enough for me), awesome stereo speakers, great battery life for internet or reading (drops fast in games, still much better than phones for it).

Moreover it has best dev support and latest android updates with ZERO bloat. I can bet it's practically the fastest small tablet especially on ART mode

Go for it!!!

Hey guys i just want to ask that which smartphone to buy under $120 ..

That gets cm roms..
[General Questions and Answers] abumy:
This is just my opinion...

Prepaid is the way to go, use a company like straight talk or page plus. Good plans with them are out there for 30, 40, or 50 a month. Also, there is no burden of a contract as it is pay as you go. If you don't like them, it is very easy to move to another. And they are way cheaper than Verizon and friends.

Being in the situation of having to pay $520 just to cancel a contract, that is not nice. One could have purchased an awesome handset for that amount. LG G2s can be found on eBay for 300-400.

LTE is awesome technology, but with data caps... Enjoying it is not fully realized. If a person can go through 1/2-1g a day on a phone, 2 or 3 for the whole month on a super expensive and capped plan, not worth it in my opinion.

T-Mobile is good too, while for me they have coverage issues. It would depend on where one lives with them. I do think that they offer unlimited data plans for a somewhat reasonable rate. But have not used them for a few years.

Best non-Asus 10.1" tablet with HDMI out

I've been through 2 Asus tablets because they were the only ones that met my requirements:

10.1" display

MicroSD slot

HDMI out port

Unfortunately, the speed of the internal flash memory on the Asus tablets is horrifically slow which causes many pauses, hiccups and "<app> is not responding" messages. I've managed to make my latest tablet (TF700T) usable by hacking with custom ROMS/kernels/filesystems but I'm looking to get a tablet for my wife and just want it to work out of the box without hacking.

I'm willing to forgo the MicroSD slot as long as I can get a 32GB model. Any ideas what non-Asus tablets might meet my needs?

Thanks...Scott

Which is the best phablet?

I'll mainly use it for Gaming,Surfing,Media.

My few choices were

HTC desire 816

LG Optimus G Pro E985

Samsung Note 3 neo(not really)

please suggest me the best phablet for my purpose.

Thank you in advance :victory:
[General Questions and Answers] shahtheass:
U think your best bet will be the HTC Desire 816. I mean the G Pro is a beast with the 401PPI screen and a Quad Core CPU and GPU l. But that means the battery life is going to drain quickly. The Desire on the other hand has less demanding screen and a slightly less clocked CPU and GPU.. Plus more budget friendly ( At least in my country) and lets not forget that it has 4.4.2 out of the box

But it is really up to u though

---------- Post added at 07:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

Moto G or X?
[General Questions and Answers] KayKashyap:
Yes thanks,but what im worried about desire 816 is its storage space,only 4gb user available,do u think its enough for hd games & also the processor and gpu is very old.

[General Questions and Answers] abumy:
The Optimus G Pro is an awesome handset, currently the kitkat update is being pushed to it.

In comparison to the HTC Desire 816, OGP is superior by way of chipset, internal memory size, ram, and screen which are all considerable issues.

LG has Snapdragon 600, HTC the 400. Gpu in the OGP is also superior.

Internal memory in HTC 8g, in LG 32g.

Ram in LG 2g, in HTC 1.5g.

Screen on LG 1080p, on HTC 720p.

LG Optimus G Pro was made to be a flagship device, HTC Desire 816 was made to budget or midrange.

For me 4-8g of internal storage is a deal breaker. After 6 months one would be getting low storage notifications and other issues related.

Hi guy's

I recently purchased an LG G Pad which I'll be returning first thing tomorrow morning due to the screen being way too dark when watching movies. Anyway I'm looking to buy another tablet around the same form factor 8" - 8.4" and I can't make my mind up on whether to just buy the samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4, or wait and see if a Nexus 8 is announced soon. I really like the samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4, But do you think I should hold off for a month and wait to see if a Nexus 8 is announced? Or are there any other Android tablets of the same form factor with good specs? If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears or eyes in this case.

[General Questions and Answers] Diesel779:
I've recently sold my iPad Air so I'm looking to steer clear of Apple. The iPad's are very nice don't get me wrong, but 2 years down the line when Apple release the latest and greatest iOS the iPad will just crawl. Whereas Android tablets always have a custom ROM to keep that device running smooth. I'm not saying I'd keep a tablet for 2 years but it's nice to have that option. I also prefer Android in general. I was a long time iPhone user and last December I switched from an iPhone 5 to a Nexus 5, best move I made.
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
At the 7 inch range, the Nexus 7 2013 is a nice device. At 8 inch, LG G Pad 8.3 is also good. At 10 inch, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is probably the best. The only competitor for the last one is the iPad Air itself.

Should I buy the galaxy note 10.1 (2012) or Galaxt tab pro 10.1?

Hello,

I hope someone can help me here. I am a University student looking to buy a new tablet to replace my previous one that died which i need mostly for reading my ebook textbooks, my class notes, ability to play videos well, and web surfing.

So there's a deal going on on amazon where they have the note 10.1 32 gb for $350 and the pro 10.1 16 gb for $400. I don't know which would be better for me to get, on one hand the note 10.1 has more storage space and note taking capabilities which is nice but its 2 years old on the other the specs of the pro are similar to the xperia z I owned but from the reviews I've read its a bit glitchy. Which do you think is better?

(It has to be a samsung device since its the only brand im willing to get that has a service centre in my country)

Cheap Smarthpone may from china cyanogenmod?

The budget ist low and we looking to get the most out of this.

We are lifing in europe exactly germany, so we'd like to use googel play store.

Is there a cheap and potent china phone out there which can be used with cyanogenmod or an other frequently updated custom rom?

How about note 3 neo?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I can't speak for shipping or customs duties, but the Moto G (barely) fits the bill. $180 would limit you to the 8gb model, but if you can swing another $20, the 16gb gives you much more internal space to work with for pictures or apps/games. A used Galaxy Nexus wouldn't be a horrible choice either. Only a dual core, but running stock Android doesn't take as much power as something with a heavy skin.

I am looking for a android box to replace my Galaxy s4 that I have been using to play games, watch movies and TV shows on my TV connected with a mhl cable.

With so many boxes available I am at a loss for which one will do what I need.

What I want is a box that:

connects to my TV hdmi

supports full 1080 HD

XBMC is a must

A couple USB ports to connect my external hard drives with movies and music would be a plus not a deal breaker tho.

A few must have apps I would want working are xfinity tv go, hbo go, Netflix, plex, and simple tv.

Rooted and is compatible with sixaxis app (ps3 controller for gaming)

Comparable to my s4 in terms of game quality and availability. I want to play top quality games like riptide, SG Deadzone, dead trigger 2 exc. Not to mention NES and SNES emulators Using my duel shock controller.

Any one have a box that can verify these requirements with? Any advice is appreciated.
