How well did the SD 600 behave its a bit old SoC!!im also looking for a tablet....im pretty consern about the battery life..as a nexus user i don't want to look over and over again about my battery stats..
[Nexus 9 General] Deltadroid:
The SD 600 seems to play very nicely with CM12. I actually bought the locked (but hackable) v500 model and the Google Play Edition is the v510. Both models are good, but the v500 might have a little more international support.

Here's an interesting future option.
[Nexus 9 General] 3dupunk:
Imho, there isn't another tablet that will rival the n9 when all things are considered. I didn't want to cough up the money as I honestly feel that the n9 is overpriced because of its limited storage, mind you I have the 32gb version. 32gb is really low for a media consumption device so 16gb is simply unacceptable and should be done away with all together. I value my timely updates and I know Google will push out updates for at least the next 2 years, how much is that worth to you? There are only 2 companies I trust with updates, Apple and Google.

Fwiw, I was leaning towards an iPad mini 2 32gb as it cost much less and is a well built product but I don't like how constrictive iOS is, weird because I've loved every Mac I've owned. Apples to oranges I suppose, no pun intended.

Slow SoC and capacitive buttons are activated accidentally. Battery life is pretty low for everything except watching videos. Nice screen though.

Go with a N9 WiFi-only

My 2 cents: what I've always done is have a WiFi-only tablet, because it's cheaper, and use tethering on my phone whenever I need to connect that tablet to the internet while on the move. Another advantage is that with a WiFi only tablet, your battery life will be much larger (granted, the fact you have to keep your phone in tethering mode drains a bit of battery on the phone, but it's tolerable). Right now I have a Nexus 7 WiFi only and a Nexus 5 LTE, and soon I'm thinking about upgrading to a Nexus 9 WiFi only. That way it won't be terribly expensive (the N9 WiFi 32GB is $479). Oh, and an extra advantage of a WiFi-only tablet: there is no carrier to control if you get or don't get Android system updates :)
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
Nexus capacitive buttons are activated more easily, especially when they're a millimeter or two away from the Plex console buttons.

Also, when lollipop lags they go down with the ship.

Also, they take extra effort to retrieve when in full screen mode.

Also, they always cut into screen real estate (e.g. Hangouts now has 4 total toolbars on its main window, counting buttons, notification shade, tabs, and user slide out menu and call tab shortcut). This isn't a huge deal in portrait mode but it can certainly become one in landscape. When you're trying to play a game or... See first point.

I think the best competitor is the iPad Mini.

They're both running allegedly laggy 64 bit dual core processors. Either way, seems about even.

They're both touted as top of the line by their respective ecosystem owning companies.

They have identical aspect ratios and screen resolutions.

They both underwent a significant visual overhaul.

The iPad will actually net you 64gb for $500, where Google makes only a 32gb version of the Nexus 9 for a relatively outrageous $480.

Apple has famous customer service and kiosks. Google might call you if they feel like it.

iOS has App Ops built in. It lets you control your privacy with things like location. Android has Google Play Services. It never stops checking your location.

Both let you turn off background data.

Both support external storage if it's inconveniently attached with a cable or something.

Both support third party keyboards.

Both have silly slider-button combination quick toggles. Android's has more options and iOS' only needs a single swipe with a single finger to appear.

Both have an app switching screen that now shows you very few apps* unless you start sliding around.

Neither let you access your apps' Settings pages from the notification bar* .

* these features were removed in Lollipop to make comparisons to iOS devices more fitting.
[Nexus 9 General] Semantics:
One requires you to be locked to the ball and chain called iTunes. I'd rather stick a pencil in my eye then be choked to death by iTunes.
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
Most of the Nexus is also locked down out of the box. I've found myself tethered to the Google Play Services app in ways that can only be described as unhealthy, even as yesterday that app needed a complete deletion to stop searching for my location via GPS. and

And I'm not a huge Google's fan to begin with. It'd be an interesting experiment to test ecosystem reliance.

As for $20 limited movie licenses on both ecosystems, I'm thrilled about neither, but in my experience each company is trying somewhat desperately to imitate the other despite still being very different. That alone I think makes looking at the iPad worth a moment.
[Nexus 9 General] Semantics:
Comparing iTunes to Google Play Services is silly. I work in law enforcement, and I'm one of the few with a legit IT background. You can't imagine how many times we can't get video or audio recordings off a victims phone due to the restrictions of iTunes. I never met an android device I couldn't plug into a PC and drag and drop what I've needed off it. I can't believe you compared the two services, honestly.
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
So, one more plus for Apple products. A sort of nonsequitur because I was comparing the ecosystems not the security, but that's nice to know... It's harder for a hacker to steal information.

Turn off Google Play Services and tell me how long you enjoy the experience*, lol.

*again, I'm no fan of Google, but it's hard for me to cope even after disabling all but one of the apps with the word "Play" in the title.
[Nexus 9 General] Semantics:
A weaker strawman has never been built.
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
Turn off Google Play Services and tell me how long you enjoy the experience.

That's not a straw man. That's me asking you to experience life on an open source phone without its biggest closed source app.

The hypocrisy is clear, though. You apparently missed the apples to oranges comparison the poster before me made in order to try to discredit me.
[Nexus 9 General] Semantics:
What is the benefit of turning off GPS? I'm talking functionality, you are talking battery life or something else. Tell me how functional your iphone is when the computer you plug it into doesn't have itunes on it. Tell me how you're going to get videos off your phone or audio recordings off your phone when you don't have itunes on it. I have absolutely no reason to turn off GPS, it doesn't hinder the functionality of my phone at all. All iDevices are locked into iTunes and if you don't have access to iTunes, then your phone is useless. If you don't see the difference here, then I can't help you.
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
So you agree, Android phones are as tethered to Google Play as iPhones are to iTunes. That was my original point. They're both tethered to their respective ecosystems, so they're completely worth comparing.
[Nexus 9 General] Semantics:
You are being obtuse now. I don't have to have a program on my PC named Google Play Services that has to launch every time I plug it in or my phone won't function in the manner that I desire. One of two things are going on, you know the difference and are being obtuse for the sake of arguement, or you don't know the difference here, and I am thoroughly embarrassed for you.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and go for number one. You are just being obtuse. You can have the last word, I'm done with the silly comparison that you are trying to make.
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
[MENTION=2182808]Semantics[/MENTION]: You don't need to make vague insults. But since you want to dig into connectivity, I'd love to open up that barrel of wormy Droid...

While it used to be possible to use your phone as a flash card reader, or access storage directly, now devices use the slow and semi-proprietary MTP protocol, which requires patience and extra driver installation. It's a pity when I go to someone's house and I can't fix their computer's internet because even though I can download a tool onto my phone, I can no longer plug it into their broken computer.

Android used to be driver free. Now it's as driver-dependent and slow and buggy as, say, something that needs iTunes. Worse.

That is all implying that Apple products even need iTunes these days, as you seem to mistakenly think. Hmm. Maybe that's not the case any more.

So there you have it:

Transferring files over iPad with cable:

Requires extra software/internet connection.

Can be slow.

A simple connection may require iTunes (but there are ways around it).

Transferring files over Nexus 9 with cable:

Requires extra drivers/internet connection.

Can be slow. Very slow. With no accurate completion time.

Known to crash.

A simple connection may require downloading the whole Android SDK.

[/QUOTE]

hmm, strange. I didn't need to install drivers to make my computer see my android device, MTP is baked into most operating systems now, unless its pre XP era, but that's not really part of the equation, since any OS Older than XP is likely missing a whole bunch more drivers for new devices.

Crashing? Can't seem to find anything about the nexus 9 crashing on usb.

Inaccurate file transfers. this is a fun one, since ALL file transfers are inaccurate. Doesn't matter if it seems accurate. file transfer speeds change, files are larger or smaller. there are so many elements in calculating transfer, that it doesn't matter whether its the OS file transfer mechanism or iTunes, its still not a fully accurate representation of the amount of time it will take.

the android SDK is only required if you want to sideload apps for development purposes or installing from .apk using a computer. not really required since the device can install any .apk once the setting is enabled. unlike iOS devices, where the device would have to be jail broken to install apps not in the iTunes store or loaded using the developer tools.

The android fanatic recommends an iPad?
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
It's not that iPads got any better. It's just that Google has generously allowed their competitive edge to regress in some areas to encourage competition.
[Nexus 9 General] hazwheel:
Well, I still think my N9 is a great tablet, personally I would never own an apple device so I want the best android tablet, and IMHO this is it (currently). My buttons are fine and I only have a tiny bit of lightbleed that I only noticed after I saw others complain of it [emoji3]
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
Only a tiny bit of light bleed and only non expandable storage...

There's also the Galaxy Tab S series, given accolades for having perfect color accuracy, sRGB mode to emulate traditional screens, expandable storage, multiple apps available for being opened at once, a split keyboard, floating video, a built in file manager for complete SD card access, of course SD card capacity up to an extra 64gb...

All that for around $350 now, again versus the iPad looking $400-480 Nexus 9 device.
[Nexus 9 General] Fl4v10:
Good luck with Android updates with the Tab S.
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
If you want the latest software updates on a regular basis, go Apple. 8 is a larger number than 5, so it must be better, lol. Memory leaks and other beta problems aside.

But if we're talking about devices that got Lollipop faster than the Nexus beta line , the NVIDIA Shield tablet is worth mentioning. Full SD card support, excellent LED display, and dual front facing speakers. Plus it's only $300-400, giving it a huge competitive edge over the Nexus 9's incredibly costly models.

A year old Nexus 7 worked smoother on kitkat than a brand new Tab S. Terrible battery life, no roms...definitely not a god alternative to any nexus.
[Nexus 9 General] Akopps:
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is certainly a valid competitor to Nexus 9. I use a Tab S 10.5 to watch videos in gym when I work out. For every one hour of playing a 720p video, it loses about 10% or less of battery charge. It does consume more power for things like web browsing, maybe 15-25% an hour depending on what you do. So to me the battery life is acceptable as I don't spend my whole day with the tablet running on the battery. I can go three days to gym without recharging.

The OS seems pretty fast. It does everything I need. There is certainly no lag. The "Tab S lag" issues that people constantly report must be a Chrome web browser bug as opposed to being some kind of an issue with the tablet. I have switched to Firefox and had no issues with lag in web browsing. There are certainly seriously bloated web sites that will also lag on my desktop PC. I won't hold it again a tablet. The default 4.4.2 Kitkat OS is pretty awesome and very stable OS. I don't get why people are obsessing about 5.0. The 99% of time you will be spending inside of an application instead of OS anyways. As for 5.0, wait a month or two and Samsung will release its official update anyways. Have patience. It's barely a few months old tablet. Samsung said that Wi-Fi tablets will be getting the lollipop update first, and quite soon.

Personally, I was shopping for a large screen tablet around the Black Friday sales time and ended up buying a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 from Amazon, when it was priced about the same as Nexus 9 16GB. As I mentioned, for me the biggest application is to watch movies and sports shows as I work out in the gym. So I was looking for the tablet with a big and sleek looking screen, and also lots of cheap storage for my media. Samsung Tab S 10.5 has one of the best screens in business and a micro SD card slot. Nexus 9 also has a decent screen, but the lack of microsd card slot would be a killer for me. The 32GB version would be barely acceptable. For the same money as the price of Nexus 9 32GB, I bought a Tab S 10.5 16GBand also a 64GB microsd card.

People say that Tab S supposedly has a slower CPU. Granted. However, all I care is that the tablet can play a 1080p movie without skipping and have a good battery life, and so far Tab S 10.5 has delivered this.

Of course, Nexus 9 has its own advantages:

One of the fastest CPU and GPU combos

Shipped with Android 5.0 Lollipop

GPS receiver

something else?

Tab S on the other hand gives you an excellent build quality, the best screen in business, and an sd card slot. Your choice, based on personal priorities. I think both tablets are really good for the money. Nexus 9 is probably better for tweakers and geeks, but Tab S 10.5 is great for multimedia because of the screen and a possibility of accepting an micro sd up to 128GB.
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
I think "Samsung lag" is as accurately reported as the Loch Ness Monster these days. Someone saw it once. It seems good enough to believe in, haha.

I don't know if I can swallow the dual core 64 bit processor stuff until the iPad mini lives up to it.

Citations needed, else false.
[Nexus 9 General] sale 83:
The only citation that I have was one on one test that I did with my year old nexus 7 II and a brand new tab s 8.4.0.

With nexus I still get up to 7 hours of SOT, with Samsung 5.

Everything was opening almost at the same time, some things were even faster on Nexus.Lag was there when you went back to the main screen, some scrolling and with opening gallery.Animations were a bit more fluid on nexus.Stock launcher is terrible.Scroll is faster and smoother on nexus.Autobrightness is not the best.You can't run it on ART...

The only thing that is sigificantly better are the speakers, along side with the bigger screen, that now has more accurate colors, closer to nexus, but only when it's on basic regime.

So if something new doesn't work better then a year old nexus, how can it be a good alternative to the fresh new generation of nexus?
[Nexus 9 General] JXulo:
I know that it is not what you ask but if you do a lot of broswing and need excelent battery life considerer the iPad mini 2 or iPad Air.
[Nexus 9 General] mkygod:
I don't know about that. All the reviews i've ever seen/read on the Tab S says the color accuracy is not that great, even with the color presets. It may be the most accurate when compared to other OLED screens, but not against IPS screens. Even the N9 beats the Tab S in that department. The main benefit with the Tab S screen are the superior blacks and contrast ratio that goes along with that.
[Nexus 9 General] primetechv2:
If the Nexus 9 is anything like the last Nexus, it's great but not quite as great. It looks like the lack of contrast on the N9 made a bigger deal than the extra contrast in the Tab S.

Seeing as I usually carry my tablet into light or dark places, this seems like it'd be better than having a black screen illuminate the night.

But don't take my word for it.

[Nexus 9 General] accordex:
Just got my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 about a week ago. Couldn't be happier. Fits in one hand comfortably, games dont stretch out into weird aspect ratio and lose their graphics quality.

Example, on the n9 when you open ccrush saga, the Orange screen is solid for a half a second,then it redraws / stretches and you see color gradients...looks like crap. Not on the S.

I was scared buying a Samsung tablet, having owned a vibrant and s3 before, where lag was unbearable, but any lag on here is hardly noticeable, to none.

I didn't send back the n9 until i tested out the S thoroughly, and all the apps and games i use and play and load just as fast if not faster when doing them side by side. YouTube being the best example, for some reason, takes forever to open on the nexus 9.

No random restarts, and it doesn't get hot doing something as.simple as browsing the web, like the n9 did.

The main reason i had to dump the n9 was the screen flickering. It was so annoying having to adjust the brightness up and down to get rid of it.

The tab s screen quality overall side by side is night and day. I get some people dont like the saturation, but to me it is just so much sharper and more colorful.
