Depends on your usage.. I wouldn't bother getting a 7 inch tablet for 1.5 extra inches, better get a Nexus 10

I now have both and I use them both for different things. Its good to have pure android on the nexus 7 as you get the latest updates first.

Also the Nexus 7 is made by Asus ;)

I had the Nexus 7 first, had the note 2 a couple weeks now and haven't used the 7 since..I am sure i will go back to it and play more but with the note 2, don't feel the 'need' for the nexus 7 now...:p
[Galaxy Note II General] simacca:
I'm using my nexus 7 less since I got my note 2, but that's expected with a new gadget. I am trying to share my time between both gadgets though :)

To those of you with both devices; do you find that the GN2 is large enough to use as your primary surfing device for extended periods of time? I am looking to replace my iPad 3 completely. Since I have the GN2 I am wondering if it will fill this role without getting a Nexus 7.
[Galaxy Note II General] simacca:
Im fortunate enough to also have an ipad (am a bit of a gadget freak lol). My opinion is that the note 2 cannot totally replace my ipad. There are still things I prefer to use on my ipad because of the bigger screen. Web browsing for one, and the app store is quite a bit better.

I've got a 10inch Acer tablet and haven't touched it from the day I got the note 2
[Galaxy Note II General] EvoYas:
I sold my N7 few days after using my Note 2. Just didnt see a point in going back and forth for an extra 1.5 inch. Plust N7 lacks the feautures I now need and am used to.

But if you really want a tab get a note 10.1 or N10 but iPad is not worth it just because iOS sucks.

[Galaxy Note II General] badasscat:
No, but then I didn't feel that way about the N7 either (which I sold after getting my GN2). So that's not really a difference between them if you ask me. On both devices, I could surf for short periods in landscape mode if I squint. Or I could surf on both devices for longer periods if I zoom, but that's annoying. Probably I could last a little longer on the N7 before getting tired of it, but I don't really think either of them are ideal devices for doing real heavy browsing of desktop-style web sites for long periods of time.

Personally, I think it makes a lot more sense to have a 10" tablet with the GN2, and that's the combo I have at the moment (I have an old Motorola Xoom, but I still love it). A 10" tablet really *is* different; you can browse like normal on one, read magazines, use real tablet apps, etc.

I don't think the Note II is different enough from the Nexus 7 to warrant having both, although it is true that unless you do some customizations, a lot of apps will automatically size themselves for phones on the GN2, which I find annoying. For example, GReader gives the tablet interface on the Nexus 7 but the phone interface on the GN2. Ditto for Expedia, which is actually really nice on a tablet. This despite both devices having 1280x720 resolution and only 1.5" difference in screen size. I think you can probably get around this by changing your dpi setting, but I've been kind of afraid to try that. In most ways the phone works really well totally stock. It's not exactly the same experience as the N7, but it's close enough that I think the N7 is mostly redundant.

[Galaxy Note II General] Gnarfsan:
I still watch Youtube on my 10 inch iPad 2 and browse, if whatever I'm looking for is difficult to find. Bigger is better for surfing. I don't know if I would use a 7 inch tablet though.
[Galaxy Note II General] Steelyglint:
Have both, got the Note a couple of weeks ago and have found myself rarely using the 7 now.

It will get used for extended web sessions and movie use, plus my wife uses it a lot now she can prise it from my fingers :D
[Galaxy Note II General] iakovidis:
I got both too plus i also got the allshare cast dongle.

I use SGN2 for everything exept gaming.

I use Nexus7 for that.

Both devices can run everything i want , but gaming on the dongle is a bit laggy so the next best thing is nexus7

I also keep a second account for guests on that one , very helpfull and safe.

Youtube , movies on the dongle , regular use without dongle but still on the SGN2.

Browsing , forums e.t.c. i find SGN2 to be very nice , slightly better experience than nexus

Perphaps i enjoy the amoled more or its just light enough to hold with one hand durring tapatalk reading.

I usually don't use the Spen but i get mad when i need it and i hold the nexus :)

Ebooks on the other hand are much better on the nexus if you are into that
[Galaxy Note II General] gkjha123:
Pixel density and form factor are critical issues for you.

Another device must be of the same or better pixel density to improve your visual experience or you will realise its only a matter of eye distance.

7 inches is not significantly different from 5.5. Even reading pdfs would only be marginally better that too if you discount the added weight.

There is little option for fellows already possessing SGN2. Go for the Nexus 10 or the Ipad 4.
[Galaxy Note II General] naturist:
No, you shouldn't bother at all. I am using Note 2 and Nexus 7 and trust me, I mostly use one device at a time. Whenever Note 2 is on charging, I go for my iPhone 5 or iPad for my needs than using Nexus 7.

Galaxy Note 2 is a bit small compared to Nexus 7 but you get the fun of both tablet and phone in one device.
[Galaxy Note II General] Scythe024:
I have both. Had a note 1 and N7, now note 2 and N7. Normally if im home im using the N7 to save my battery. The N7 gets all the new updates which is pretty nice to mess around with too. There is a pretty big size different even though it doesnt seem like there would be. You cant really just look at it and say its only 1.5" bigger, when it comes to screen sizes you have to think of it more in percentages. Id rather have the n7 then a ipad mini that someone else mentioned. the n7 specs and price just eat it alive
[Galaxy Note II General] geovas77:
I own both devices and only use the nexus while the note 2 is charging which is really only during early morning hours. The Note's screen is really miles better than the Nexus's screen and the s-pen sets it even further apart.

My wife gets to use the Nexus while I Am on the Note and everyone is happy around the house!
[Galaxy Note II General] kb4444:
I don't know guys but to me that 1.5" screen makes a big difference. I use my device primary for browsing, YouTube, Netflix, etc and to me the 7 inch form factor is perfect. I prefer it over the 10. I had the original note 1 and have gone to the Att store 2 times to play with the note 2 in hopes of replacing 2 devices with 1. Haven't been able to pull the trigger.

[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Confused :eek:

Does the Nexus 7 got a sim module ( fmaking it able to place phone calls) ?

Why are you comparing a phone (or Phablet) with a tablet ?
[Galaxy Note II General] kebabs:
Sold my N7, while it was a nice device, it was merely my android device. Now I've got the GN2 it felt like overkill, bit like having an iPad and iPhone, duplication. Now I've got one device in each ecosystem so I can experience both. For me, best tablet =iPad, best smartphone =GN2
[Galaxy Note II General] TonyHoyle:
Keeping my N7. It's the ideal ebook reader, web browser, etc. for lounging around the house. It doesn't fit in my pocket so doesn't go outside much.

The GN2 is for travelling with.. I can take it to work, browse the web during lunch, etc. they have very different purposes.

I've also got a TF101 that doesn't get a lot of use these days - 10 inches is too big to be useful IMO.
[Galaxy Note II General] darkchazz:
I got both devices and I have to say the N7 is a great web browser and ebook reader, however gaming performance sucks for non-tegra titles.

On my Note II the TouchWiz UX launcher runs butter smooth with no hint of lag, whereas on N7 even with 4.2 jelly bean I can still notice slight stutter here and there.

Major quality control issues on the N7.... ahhhh. where do I start..

Screen separation and creaking, backlight bleeding, dead pixels, screen flickering at low brightness settings......

I'd say the Note II alone is more than enough, for now, especially since there not many tablet apps available yet.

7 inches is still good in bed...for reading books.

thanks guys for your inputs, I was also thinking of getting a nexus 7 it seems that it doesn't make much sense when I have note 2 already

I think is logical...

If you already have a big phone/phablet, and you still want a tablet to go along ( I know I don't, my Note and my Laptop serve me just fine) , at least get a bigger tablet, not such a small one .....

[Galaxy Note II General] Steelyglint:
In retrospect, if I had gotten the Note first, I would not have got the 7. I am happy with both now though :)

Own N2 + N7 .. Big diffrence . and yess worth it

N2 Best Damn Phone :D

N7 Best Android Tablet for that size.. For gaming its better to hold and play with than N7 . and bigger screen for reading

Well I purchased a N7 today on impulse to be a buddy to my n2 and am feeling guilty...so this is a good thread. I do find my n2 still difficult for books and magazines. Thinking the 7.9" iPad mini might be a better tool for mags/books. Hum, probably will return the n7.
[Galaxy Note II General] winst:
I got the original Galaxy Note, Note II LTE, nexus 7 and nexus 10 (and well, an old iPad 2). No intention to sell any of them. All of them have their own uses:

Galaxy Note : I got a data only sim card, so use this as pocket wifi. Also installed a console only Ubuntu in it (using Compete Linux Installer). So this device also serves as my mobile linux server.

Galaxy Note II LTE: as my main mobile.

Nexus 7 : Reading PDF and magazines are much more comfortable using Nexus 7 than Note II. Also good for using it with ConnectBot with hacker keyboards. ( Way too small when using hackers keyboard with full portrait mode with Note II)

Nexus 10 : At home and sitting on sofa, best is having a big tablet for browsing and RSS. I hate all the browsers with iPad2, so now having Nexus 10 as my main home tablet. ;)

Am I the only one got all these 4 devices and actually still actively using them all?
[Galaxy Note II General] bobotski:
I was contemplating on getting either a Nexus 7 or an iPad Mini as a pair with the Note 2. The iPad Mini now sounds like a good idea.
[Galaxy Note II General] fishingfon:
I have already got a nexus 7, and note 2.

I like both devices, but if u already have a note 2, i would probably get a nexus 10 instead, as the is not that much difference between the note 2 and nexus 7.

My Note II is my all in one device, I don't own any other phone, nor do I own a tablet or laptop. It does everything! :) However, I am also thinking about picking up a Nexus 7 for the following reasons:

(1) sky go - doesn't work on my rooted note ii

(2) e-books - bigger screen on n7 maybe easier on the eyes

(3) price - the n7 is cheap for such a powerful device
[Galaxy Note II General] PeatCoal:
I had an N7 and sold it when I got my Note II. I feel that the 1.5 inches isnt a big enough difference to warrant having both. Gaming is about the same on both devices, and they're the same resolution. I'd say owning a nexus 10 would be cool still, though.

And about ebooks, I find I prefer the screen on the Note because of how dim it can go with a black background, being an OLED display. It's the perfect bedtime reading display IMO.
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:

It has nfc, bluetooth 4, weacom stylus, 8megapixel rear camera and 2 front facing camera, gps, compass, micro sd slot and a full usb, you can install your printer, scanner, whatever runs on your computer, it runs on this atom tablet.

Add full flash support, mozila, desktop chrome, and you still can read your ebooks and watch movies using media player classic or kmplayer!

[Galaxy Note II General] baileyjr:
Yeah I had a N7 and a S3, but I traded them both in for a Note 2 and haven't looked back.

I found myself using the N7 in portrait mode like a phone most of the time anyway.

I just stick to the phone for most tasks now and switch to the laptop for more demanding tasks. The N7 for me was in no-mans ground, so small to do anything more productive than I could already do on the phone, and 2 large to carry around everywhere.

Id rather compromise on the screen size a bit and just carry one device.

[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
I'm sorry to say, but i don't think it's possible to downgrade from ics without losing your warranty. If you try to flash an older ruu, it won't install because you have a newer version installed. To solve this, you would need root access, which you can only get by unlocking the bootloader (and losing your warranty).
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
This is true, but people will install"dev released" ruu and wonder why it's full of faults, it's the reason they didn't release it as an ota and I'm sure it says that during the install or download didn't it, I'm also sure it also says that installing it can void your warranty anyway.

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. ~Wernher Von Braun
[HTC Desire S] AsafteiLaurentiu:
My situation is similar. On the official page from Facebook "HTC Romania" the have announced the release of the 4.0.4 for Desire S and they told us that this update will not be like the other ones (OTA) and will be RUU, and I used this information like an official one, upgrade to 4.0.4 ...and now I found that was a big mistake ...
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
If you had actually read the information that came up on screen as you went through the RUU installation, you would have seen - very clearly - that they stated it was to be used at your own risk and that it would invalidate your warranty. There was a good reason for that - they only released an RUU at all because lots of people were pressuring them to provide it and they knew that it was not stable enough for general release.
[HTC Desire S] AsafteiLaurentiu:
There was a specifications that is for developers. I havent see nothing about warranty.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
You mean this screen?

You're right that it doesn't specifically say your warranty will be void - but they do talk about not being responsible for any loss of functionality etc. The problem comes when you try to roll back to an older version to fix all those bugs.
