RAMI, Samsung is coming out with a 4 inch version of the S3 today. They call it the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. A mini phone as big as the new iPhone

Cool, I'm willing to wait, as there was no one phone that attracted me lately, except the Lumia 920, 820 and HTC WP...

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

The Padfone 2 looks a winner on paper.

I wanted to buy the Padfone 1 when I opted for the Nexus. I think Asus are wonderful.

 

[icemaη]

They do make some awesome hardware
Also, they are amongst the first to get their phones/tablets to the latest version of Android.

Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Hong Kong, India weee, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and U.A.E. getting the padfone 2 before the end of the year.
If the phone+tablet combo comes for about $800 I'll take the plunge. The phone looks mighty impressive. The tablet has a pretty low resolution by todays standards though.

 

[RAMI-N]

Is this Padfone 2 any good?

 

[icemaη]

It's specs are pretty good. Won't know how it performs until a proper review is out. That said, Asus are one of the best manufacturers when it comes to hardware and their skinned version of Android is very light and is as close to stock Android as you can get.

The HTC just launched the J Butterfly in Japan. The 1080p screen. Oh my.

The new Nexus manufactured by LG will be available in India by the end of November according to the head of mobile product planning at LG.

Good. Fuck Samsung for never releasing their Nexus phones here.

And while I'm at it, fuck HTC for not releasing the Nexus One here and totally fucking up the HTC One S.

 

[JCK]

I am also annoyed at all Android manufacturers.

Thinking of getting a tablet around xmas time. Any worthy adversaries to iPad?

Same here, what's the best option for 10' android tablet ? I heard that asus transformers are quite good ?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Acer Iconia tabs are with a look. Don't forget the Samsung ones either.

The Asus Pad Infinity is probably the only Android tablet to be considered as an alternative to the iPad. Unless you are looking at a 7 inch device in which case you have the Nexus 7. Also there's a rumor of Google launching a 10 inch nexus tablet on the 29th of this month along with the new nexus phone. I wouldn't bet on that being true though.

I bet on all my vCash that it is true.

The Nexus 7 sounds like a great deal for only 200 bucks. The size is a little too small however.

So to summarize, Nexus rules in 7' devices, if there will be Nexus 10' i definitely should give it a try, otherwise Asus, acer/samsung maybe, right?

Don't put such restrictions on yourself. Give every device a fair chance with zero prejudice.
