Got my Nexus 7 last Thursday.

Was pondering between the meMopad and nexus 7 and in the end opt for Nexus instead. Never regret the decision. wub.gif

Single core A9 vs Quad core A9. What you say? laugh.gif

Btw, looking at review, that memopad got even lousier screen than Nexus 7. Wonder how it looks like laugh.gif

Its not about the cores. Its about the overall value.

yup. only a LCD screen compared to Nexus's IPS screen. Something like watching Astro football on a plasma HD ready TV back then at mamak stalls before the explosion of full HD LED TVs.
*
Even the overall value is lower than that of Nexus 7 IMO.

Take 32GB Nexus 7 WiFi-Only for RM820 from Newegg. Will take that N7 32GB anytime over Memopad.

It's not just about hardware. Software supported by Google is another aspect to be considered.

Anyway, just looking at hardware, I'll go for Nexus 7 also. One is mainstream chipset, another one is a chipset never heard before. What you say? laugh.gif

shocking.gif That price I'll sure grab it if still got warranty. Rm500 for a tablet with 3G + Tegra 3? You can't even get that from China Tabs?

LOL. Makes me feel like upgrading my current Nexus 7. hahaha...and get the new Nexus 7 next month

but the problem is it seems that iOS provides more free apps lol..

however, between by Nexus and ipad mini, i use my nexus more...hmm
*
Android many free apps too biggrin.gif

Straight install apk. Apple no apk let you install sad.gif

Apple no root let you remove Ads also sad.gif

QUOTE(briantwj @ Jul 20 2013, 12:30 PM)
iOS got more free apps? I always look through google play for those paid apps, then google it to find the 'free' version. haha.
But to be honest, i prefer Ipad's touch screen, very sensitive yo~  drool.gif
Don't buy the new nexus 7 so fast, wait until 2014 around this time of the year July, sure the price drop like crazy again. haha.
*
Can't wait so long... The release price itself is attractive enough. Don't really have to wait so long. 269USD for a 7" Full HD Display + S4 Pro/Snapdragon 600 is sufficient to blow all competitors out of water, especially those China Tabs! drool.gif

Not to mention that 4GB RAM and 32GB Internal storage (referring to 32GB model)

doh.gif The top and bottom bezel is reallllllllyyyyyy THICKKKKKKKKKK. Looks a bit weird when they cut down the side bezel thickness yet increased top and bottom bezel thickness. Looks out of proportion.

Just hoping that this time, the new Nexus 7 Razor can support Nova 3 perfectly and smoothly..and local retailers here pls bring in some accessories like casing and SC, lazy to order from Lowyat zz

icon_idea.gif According to benchmark, in 3dmark, Nexus 7 v2 scored 7k+. Nexus 4 5k+, Nexus 7 v1 1.9k. I guess the GPU improvement should be A LOT!

QUOTE(lucaswjk @ Jul 24 2013, 10:31 PM)
N7 v2 hv same hw spec as N4...
tat mean the UNOFFICIAL LTE is oni for canada band... (forget the actual band  blink.gif )
*
I don't think there's radio in this one.

The one in Nexus 4, only the band for Canada will work. Power amplifiers for other band not included.

Not exactly same...

Screen already different. 7" vs 4.7"

But same PPI!!!! ~320ppi on both tab/phone. How awesome is that??? wub.gif

u should take benchmark scores with a pinch of salt, it only tells half the story

for eg. S3 scored high at it's time, but still lags
*
Erm... But... All the device I mentioned are Nexus devices. They have plain vanilla android. So... The benchmark tells at least half of the story in terms of performance.

It's possible that they put more effort on optimization in 4.3 that the score is considerably higher, even than Nexus 4 running on 4.2 otherwise I believe it can be a higher clocked GPU that made those scores possible.

So... There's no bloatware in all these devices so it's actually very ok to compare them biggrin.gif

It's like two person taking a test (benchmark). One who score 80+ should at least has some sort of "cleverness" than those who scored 50 or below. Get me? rolleyes.gif

Yes... everyone says take it with a pinch of salt but still everyone will look at it. Those review website also must run benchmark and post them up. It won't be totally meaningless. It tells the RAW performance of the phone. Just that a phone's RAW performance does not equal to its real life performance. wink.gif

Looking at the announce video, the 1080p display looks awesome.

They're also guaranteeing 1 hour extra battery compared to Nexus 7 V1 although V2 has smaller battery with much higher pixel density. That's good!!!!

If i'm not mistaken is 2GB. Then you sign in, click free GB. You can enable photo, etc to get extra GB. Every friend that you refer will get 500GB. Max is 16GB (for referral).

You can also checkout Google Drive or Skydrive.

Then I have to just refer one friend and I get basically an online harddisk for free! biggrin.gif

im wanted to try paranoid android. first is diff between Rom and gapps?

rom 133mb (pa_grouper-3.93-20130805.zip)

and

gapps 198mb (pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130805a-signed)

what is the diff between Rom and gapps? i need to flash both?
*
ROM is the system itself.

Gapps is google apps like Google+, PlayStore, Maps, Youtube, Calendar etc etc. Apps included depends on the gapps package.

You should flash both else you'll find something missing biggrin.gif
