ALPHA17 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) ^^ long term official support. I stopped at that. Wait for Nexus 7,2. Don't look for anything else. Time is blood Kameraden, how long is the wait for the Nexus tablet, a rough estimate when it would hit the Play Store abroad, anything would do. I doubt my father will be willing to wait too long though so other options to look at will also be appreciated. last time i saw, they were offering tegra 2 based, with IPS, @ 10k. Isn't Tegra 2 ancient by today's standards? Sorry, my knowledge of tablet and smartphone SoC's is limited.

Shantz Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah, september for US. Don't buy the cheap Indian/Chinese ones. They look good on paper but will be too frustrating very soon. If you can't wait for the new nexus 7, then try to get the nexus 10. Seriously, don't invest in any other tablet. You will either run into hw issues or be left out in the cold for updates. BTW, both of these dont have expandable memory (as in no microsd slot). For a tablet, do think whether you really need more than 16-32 GB for your use or not. Most of the time, you'd be streaming stuff from home network or internet. If you can't get either of the above, then go for an iPad. It's quite a bit frustrating to use compared to an android tablet, but this is the only option good enough if your needs are simple and you can't source a nexus tablet.

ALPHA17 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah, september for US. So we can expect it to take at-least till Q2 next year to show up in India or can it be earlier. Even Nexus 10 is not available here, for now. He doesn't want to import anything. For a tablet, do think whether you really need more than 16-32 GB for your use or not. Most of the time, you'd be streaming stuff from home network or internet. Storage is not an issue at all. micro-SD slot would have been good though not a necessity. If you can't get either of the above, then go for an iPad. It's quite a bit frustrating to use compared to an android tablet, but this is the only option good enough if your needs are simple and you can't source a nexus tablet. Okay, although this is the path I am least interested in. Another new device, another new account and not to mention the we are so amazing we want different cables for everything mindset. Thanks guys, will keep you updated. Cheerio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 ^^ Android isn't too great as well when it comes to cables. Most tablets have proprietary cables/chargers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most tablets have proprietary cables/chargers Haven't seen majors players like SAMSUNG, SONY, LG, Lenovo and even locals like Micromax use anything the USB type B mini.

avkash Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 You never had a symbian phone? always did before S2, never heard about this site, wasn't much into changing anything on the phone TBH, Nokia phones worked flawlessly as they were, loved my N70 If you can't get either of the above, then go for an iPad.

sameuun Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I though your rant would be directed to Tegra since somebody mentioned it, that too 2 eeeeerrrrr. really not much in a business of tabs, but i meant the last time i checked i.e 1 year back. since then i never looked into tabs, and i was just giving him examples how cheap indian tabs can be, just an example.. also Alpha, u mentioned voice calling is must ? Nexus 7 doesnt have that option, nor nexus 10 , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Get Xperia z ultra, combo of phone and tab, tad exp though. @avkash: shantz is turning into fanboi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 also Alpha, u mentioned voice calling is must ? Nexus 7 doesnt have that option, nor nexus 10 , I am working on that, trying to dissuade them on this count, SAMSUNG's the only option otherwise and I don't want that. My original query of Lenovo tabs still holds. How are they, does anyone use them? Get Xperia z ultra, combo of phone and tab, tad exp though. It is beyond the ambit of our budget, I was looking ~25000/- tops because thereabouts lies a fully loaded Nexus 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
