hey guys.
need suggestions from you: I bought asus smart 10 a few months ago for my wife. The battery kinda sucks, and it is getting too slow these days, flipping screen can have shutter-lag.. mainly used for reading TheEdge. The screen is also not fantastic, abi Any 10inch recommendation for a much better battery life and non-lag tablet? Budget not an issue, only need the Wifi-type. Thank you!! |

The battery kinda sucks, and it is getting too slow these days, flipping screen can have shutter-lag.. mainly used for reading TheEdge. The screen is also not fantastic, abit of sun glare, cannot really see the screen already. Any 10inch recommendation for a much better battery life and non-lag tablet? Budget not an issue, only need the Wifi-type. Thank you!! |

QUOTE(NightFelix @ Feb 14 2014, 10:12 AM) I think the best battery life for Android 10" tablet is Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). I don't own any 10" or 7" of Android tablet, but the Apple iOS of the iPad battery is really honestly awesome. thanks for the recommendation.[attachmentid=3851941]  I went to check out the specs.. its a 4G, which my wife don't need. Maybe the new nexus 10? |

QUOTE(wilsonphua @ Feb 14 2014, 12:40 PM) Apple iPad Air, only rm1599 for 16GB Wifi version. Thanks for the info.If you want Android, get the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. It's currently on a promotion by Sony Malaysia. RM1399, free screen protector and casing. My wife made the switch from apple to android because it is easy to drag videos from pc to android, hassle free. If we want to watch mp4s, do we still need to go through itunes or still need to convert into their readable format? Quite sick of doing that, so thats why I choose android these days haha.. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z stats looks quite ok leh, but its sim-card tablet, I kinda looking at wifi tabs only. Maybe I should wait for nexus 10? |

QUOTE(NightFelix @ Feb 14 2014, 04:58 PM) The Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 got WiFi only but not available in local, AP set have, made of Exynos instead of Qualcomm for LTE purpose. I kinda hoping the next gen to be out as soon as they can.Well you can look for Nexus 10 32GB WiFi only AP set, local only have 16GB WiFi. Or wait for next-gen rumor HTC made Nexus 10. I did a comparison via gsmarena and the current gen chipset is only dual core. Just afraid it is as lag as the current asus tab smart 10. Perhaps the 1gb ram in asus is too little for apps? Thanks. Current gen nexus 10 Exynos 5250 Dual-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A15 Mali-T604 2 GB RAM asus smart 10 Nvidia Tegra 3 T33 Quad-core 1.2 GHz ULP GeForce 1GB Ram |

QUOTE(wilsonphua @ Feb 14 2014, 08:05 PM) Nope. Sony Xperia Tablet Z comes in two categories. After reading your views and thought for 2 mins, I suddenly rem that sony is a overpriced brand Xperia Tablet Z WiFi only (RM1399) = Not a sim-card tablet Xperia Tablet Z LTE (RM1999) = Sim-card tablet Since you're only looking for WiFi tablets only, you can choose the Sony Xperia Tablet Z Wifi version. Sony Xperia Tablet Z is water-proof and dust-proof as well. And the specifications are similar to that of New Nexus 7 (2013), which is pretty smooth, no lag, beautiful display. For iOS, still need convert, and use iTunes to synchronize and transfer videos or other files ..  Thanks for the info on ipad air.. guess thats why ipad is only 20+% market share globally now. |

QUOTE(wilsonphua @ Feb 14 2014, 08:16 PM) Hahahahaha bro. Now is year 2014. nice info. Why still want to stick with Cortex Processor and Mali GPU Graphic Processing Unit...Nowadays, most high end smart phones and tablets use Krait processor with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset...and GPU use mostly Adreno GPU... I ever tried using Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core, the quad core is just a marketing gimmick, damn that Nvidia Tegra 3 lags like hell...  K.. i guess i better wait for the next gen nexus 10 ba.. Ya lor, was attracted by the quad core, starting 2 months ok lo, after installing apps and widgets, wah lag like shit. my wife keep complaining when she is reading her theedge paper or checking out her stock-share apps. I saw the lagness, i also 'pek chek'.. really not acceptable |
