Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 OR 10.1
I was thinking of getting a mobile phone instead as well, but with these money the only thing I can get is the galaxy s3 mini and I am not sure if it is worth it. I mean it is a 2 years old phone and I think that it will not be supported anymore by google. Furtermore, it has smaller screen and its hardware is not that good too.
This is why I chose to get a tablet... Well even I am not really a big fan of Apple(never had an apple product, neither an android...), the iPad is a little more "overpriced" for me right now. Quote:

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 OR 10.1
How much is your budget?
I'd recommend the Moto G instead. And if you can afford it, the Nexus 5. Have you heard of the OnePlus One? Great phone. You can even go secondhand. PS What's your favourite screen size? |

This is the budget and the situation: Quote:

Personally, I am really sold on the S Pen but I'd still put the G Pad 8.3 and the Nexus 7 on the list of choices. |

I meen I could stay with my n900 for now and we will see after some time for a new phone! Quote:
As for the negotiation, I am on the last school year and I need to get good grades to go at the university, so it is not something that I can negotiate with... I must get good grades because it is for my own future :rolleyes: Neverming, back to topic.. My thought is to ask if the note 8 is available and if it is not, then choose one of the other two tablets! I don't really like the Galaxy S3 mini and I don't need a phone that much, so I will go with the tablet! Kangal, as vetsin stated, I want a tablet -which is available in the store I will go(some stores here in Greece doesn't sell some great products)- that costs 260< euros! I don't really care about the size :) What bothers me about the 10.1 is the x86 processor! Will I have problems on installing or running apps from the app store, or anything will work just like in an arm processor? |
Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 OR 10.1
So your budget is pretty much US$360 (260 Eu) or below.
If it HAS to be brand new: 1) The OnePlus One (no microSD) is only $349 for 64GB. 2) For 32GB its $299, but availability is "nonexsistant" for both. The Nexus 5 (16GB) is 290 Euros in Greece, close enough to your budget. The Moto G (16GB) can be had for ~$290. If it does NOT have to be new: 3) Best to grab a "used but new" Nexus 5 (32GB). From ebay its ~$270, add shipping with insurance... so that's ~$300. 4) Or even The Moto X (16GB) off ebay for ONLY $190 5) Used Moto X (32GB) goes for $260 (add ~$30 for international shipping and insurance). 6) A used Note 3 can go as little as $370, just think about it... its the best phone on the market. 7) SONY Z1 Compact is a very desirable device, but a lil dearer at $440 used ...those should be the first on your list. Since you want to dabble with coding a bit and want to even try making a game, I'd suggest Android first... iOS is not as "free". But if you really want a TABLET, like I said: Number 1) 32GB Wifi Black iPad Mini Retina (hands down king) - $400 (used) or $470 (new) + p/h Number 2) iPad Air (for some reason the Mini really impresses me) - $490 (used) or $540 (new) + p/h Number 3) iPad 4 (32GB Wifi Black) - $300 (used) or $490 (new) + p/h ... ... ... Closing words: Buy from ebay. Use PayPal. Get Shipping insurance (€22). Buy a used device. Shop aggressively. Choose between the €195 Nexus 5 (32GB) or €215 iPad 4 (Wifi 32GB)... otherwise get more funds. I'd be personally disappointed if you didn't get one of those two, but the other options I listed above are good too. |

So I can't get used products... As for the brand new: The OnePlus One, Nexus 5 and the Moto G are not available(as I said these are some of the products that should be available) and the ipad mini costs around 319 euros so, not possible to get it :p |
Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 OR 10.1
Oh really? Underage?
Don't have any relatives or family that has an ebay and PayPal account? Trust me, its the best way... you'd be doing yourself a favour. By the way, heard of the Nvidia Shield? It lasts for ages, very powerful, its also the ultimate portable gaming console. I saw it used for about $150, and brand new for $200. Say, can you use Amazon? There's some good deals on there, but not as competitive as ebay obviously. |

Nvidia Shield? Never heard of that :P But I searched on the stores' sites I talk about and it is not available as well... About gaming I was thinking about getting a vita if possible instead of a tablet/phone(maybe do some hardware mods on it, I loved those on my old phat one :D), but I don't think that I want only a gaming device. After all, do you think that the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1/8 is just a waste of money? Will not be that good? What is your opinion about the note 8? |
Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 OR 10.1
To me, they are a waste of money.
They're just not good products, and they're hard to fit into your life. The reason being is that Android plays much better on phones at the same price. Its not worth having a dumbphone and Android tablet... much better to put all that into a decent Android smartphone. But if it has to be a tablet, iPad is the only way to go. I've tried pretty much all the Android tablets and most Windows 8 tablets... nope. Personally I prefer a good Android smartphone + Windows7 Ultrabook combo. I could fit in iPad use, but I choose not to. Since you're being vague, just tell us all the options you have available. What phones or tablets can you get through the store thingy? Another suggestion is to get whatever has the highest value, sell it, use that money to get something better for you. PS read up about the nvidia Shield, better than a Vita maybe. |
