Why are there three 10.1" Tabs on there? Samsung doesn't sell many of those old devices any more...

Still makes a good point. Apple has like 11 total since 2007.
But if it won't offer people what they want, that's not a positive thing.

Hey, just being realistic. You should be able to get it offline in AT&T/T-Mobile variants though. In Europe/Asia/Japan/China it will be available through carriers though.

Notice the little up arrow at the bottom of the screen, looks very similar to the new ios7 lock screen. UmmmmmXperia Z 4.2.2 has lockscreen widgets. Win.
Can't wait for my ZL to be as good as my Sensation (software wise) in a couple of weeks.
Except it probably actually indicates the gesture to unlock.
Sony gone git it now

i think this one actually means swipe up to unlock though
Floating notifications is nice. I'm going to switch back my SIM card to the Galaxy Nexus for a bit...
No it doesn't. It's a misleading graphic. FFS they are counting the Touchwiz S4 and Nexus S4 as two different screens. How does that make any sense?

So let's talk Nexus 7 refresh...
I think it'll be a little more expensive. Maybe $229 which is still a cheaper launch point than the og Nexus 7 with 16 gigs.
S800 just seems like a pipe dream so I am gonna say S600 with the bump to 1080. That'll mean performance wise it should handle just like the One or S4 roughly. I expect a back camera this time, and a slight form factor shift to make the bezzle smaller.
I also expect better speakers, but nothing near as good as say as the One or even the current Nexus 10.
Basically it'll be played safe but still a big upgrade regardless.

I'm so down for a new Nexus 7. I hope they keep the design/weight the same though. I really, really love pretty much everything about the Nexus 7 design including the bezels which make it easier to hold.
Also, Action Launcher looks interesting... any have any comments about it before I drop $4 on it?

I asked the person who told me that they were definitely planning for an S800 in the Nexus 7 refresh and he says he hasn't heard anything new since. So there is still hope for that if that's your thang.
Also am I the only one who thinks lockscreen widgets kind of suck. Just put some useful functionality in the current one and that's it. It's all becoming too much imo. Could be just me.

I like them, though I don't use them as much as I should. Some new features would be nice, especially being able the have the widgets expanded at all times.
Considering that the sales of both their smartphones and tablets has done nothing but increase dramatically over that time period.
I would have to say, 'no'.
Its different, but its definitely not wrong. You can muse about whether or not its good, but the results are concrete and nonnegotiable. I suspect, as long as it keeps working, and customers continue to buy, they aren't going to fix what doesn't appear to be broken.
If I were them though I would definitely streamline it. here has to be major overlap in all those phones and tabs

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It isn't just my thang so much as it would be the top of the line chipset in such a cheap device. S600 is already beastly even at 1080 and the leaked rumored S800 benches look insane!!
What's the point of a lock screen?
I still think $200 is a good price. Anymore and it's out of my price range. I hope we get it in July, but the non-news has scared me. I hope they don't delay it because of 4.3 or even 5.0.
I just want a better screen, back camera, and a faster machine. I need it for manga viewing and internet browsing. I actually wouldn't mind the current N7 for around $150.
Is Tegra 3 good? I've heard people say it a slow processor?

Probably still not as ridiculous as the Xperia models released in that time!
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Tegra 3 is really old, but so is the Nexus 7 hardware in general. It is slow for June 2013, but so is basically everything not named the S600 or Exnyos Octa. The resolution isn't that high on the current Nexus so it doesn't need some crazy processor.
All the 2012 processors are slow, but they are still totally fine.
Samsung made something called the Galaxy player IIRC
enforced corporate security policies for using email or vpn
Second-generation Nexus 7s will stay away from entry-level price competition, say sources.

It better be amazing for $30 more.

it seems like since sometime last year, all of their Android phones are branded 'Galaxy', including some they retroactively renamed!

No not this one. The Event has an awful DAC.
Wow, they didn't decide to pointlessly have a menu button instead of multitasking this time. Bravo whoever made that decision.
No one awake yet to post about the new Asus nexus tablet through FCC?

Agreed. No screen spec here but definitely needs higher res. I can't wait for this to finally release (wifi only please).

I don't usually look at these FCC filings so I have no idea how representative it is but on the label pdf it has a diagram of the label and Asus logo horizontal on the device, like the N10 rather than the N7. Could that be at al relevant?
Battery is too small for a 10"

It could be designed to be held horizontally rather than vertically like th N10 though.. Not likely however
This is very important! Needs me some 1080p yo.
Bring forth the hype wagon!
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Hype wagon killed with that S4 Pro from last year... Why not go with a current Qualcomm chip instead???
It's an S600 (the one from the Nexus 4)... Thats not bad at all for a 199...er 229 tablet
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
The S600 and the S4 Pro are two different deals. Where did you get they are the same? I know it is processor from the N4. That isn't an S600 by a long shot though let alone an S800.
Edit: I know they are similar but the 600 is higher clocked with better memory bandwidth and some extra performance little editions. True the GPUs are identical.
Plus we were just talking about maybe an S800. Idk I guess I am just salty/needy.

An S4 Pro this late in 2013 is pretty fucking shitty regardless of price lol.
Just go buy an iPad you freak.

I already have an ipad mini. It's fantastic, waiting for retina version now.

has calmed down a bit.
But that's still a better chip than the tegra 3 on the current model, right?

I've been praising my Nexus 10 but this thing is starting to annoy me. Google abandoned this thing. It has kernel panics regularly. It just randomly freezes and crashes. Completely random.
It's not going to be fixed. I'm so ticked off about it because I bought the 32 GB version, thinking I could just keep it for a very long time. I use tablets just to browse the web so I don't care whether it's the newest model. This time, however, I might need to upgrade immediately. So disappointed. And no, custom xda kernels haven't solved this issue, either, AFAIK.

I think the latest poo on a stick is better than Tegra 3 at this point. Thank god Tegra 4 is going to be widely available soon and many devices are going to ship with it.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Obviously, but the device isn't even out yet and it is using the Nexus 4 chip set from last year. It'll basically be an oversized N4.
I would rather have an Intel chip powering my Android devices than an Nvidia chip.
