Gotta love those 'modern' colours...
WQXGA is 2560 x 1600 (according to the interwebs) if anyone is interested (surprised it didn't say in the specs what the actual res is or do they just expect everyone to know what they stand for these days).
Interesting that they not gone for a 4 big, 4 little cores approach and gone 2 + 6 instead. Can't remember seeing that before.
So it's this or the new iPad next month, presumably at a similar price range...
I don't think they did particularity well, sales wise, with the Tab 4 and its £600 launch price, so quite surprised to see they're launching another one.
Can't help thinking that 'surprisingly low' will be the polar opposite of the actual rrp, when it is announced.
I agree with that.Quote:

399 USD for it apparently. Not as bad as feared. Still 100 too much for my tastes
Almost 90% of the marketing is using colors like this,Quote:

I could never find a suitable replacement for the nexus 7 so ended up without using a tablet. I favour stock android and fast updates but doesnt seem a market for that.
Lineage is your friendQuote:

Hopefully general power levels are plateauing, so obsolescence is not too quick.
At a typical straight currency conversion maybe, but don't forget US $ pricing excludes sales tax, whereas UK £ pricing includes VAT and, less visibly relevant import duties.Quote:

I'd go for the Samsung, purely based on previous Tab experience. If this has a decent processor, it's definitely one to watch.Quote:

What will I replace my iPad 3 with when it finally dies? Either a very low cost Android tablet or the basic iPad. After, all, it is going to be used almost exclusively in the loo and in bed from time to time. My XPS 13 is small enough that it just doesn't make any sense pretending to actually work on a tablet, which is just a joke.
I went for a Huawei 10 inch tablet in the end, very impressed with it and a reasonable price - https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7529072Quote:
