Perfect phone for me ATM is a Note 4. Used my stepdads and trust me you would swear it's stock android

How is the curvature, is it revolutionary or just a gimmick?

What do you mean? Are you talking about the Note Edge?

 

[nirtime]

Oops sorry, I confused them as being the same for a moment there.

 

[Steven Ramadar]

Wondering the same. Don't think a phone can get anymore premium feeling than that

Lol. Both are awesome, so it's win win!

Nexus 7 2013

Sonygoup! What are you doing to me! I've been living on XDA waiting for this for my note 3! I got a taste from Cyanogen, but it restarts too much! It's awesome...what do you think?

 

[sonygoup]

To me I don't like the material design
My tablet can't go silent and I could swipe down and take off stuff from the lock screen like WiFi Bluetooth
It smooth but because if ART some apps keep on crashing like Skype so its like when devs gonna fix em
All in all no real new features just a different ui that's just bland to me

 

[nirtime]

Was really hoping for some changes. It's about time we got new innovative features

 

[Steven Ramadar]

I like the notification toggles and I'm a big fan of the material design. But one of my big peeves is that white app tray. Looks out of place

Wayssss Sonygoup on board with lollipop!! Well done bro! I can't wait to get it myself! How is the performance on it?
My favorite is the notification toggles ,the privacy settings incorporated into the apps , all the new features included within the operating system especially the new optimizations

 

[sonygoup]

My sister tab so for the moments I used it
Performance was the same no noticeable change but maybe benchmark wise it may have a difference
Nothing in the toggles I like
Haven tested the privacy setting but I did the user stuff which is nice is u give your tablet to a newbie or random friend

Really liked the nexus 7 but having a tablet days gone for me all I use em for Is reading

 

[nirtime]

N7 is always a nice tablet especially for the price.
I think the surface pro is the best tablet to have as it is the most versatile being a fully blown computer with maximum portability its just too expensive.

 

[Mr.Bollywood]

I agree 100% with nirtime

My friend has a surface RT and its totally amazing the speed, accessibility,its so easy to use, so much power in such a little package!

He recommends getting the pro however due to compatibility issues with certain applications , but other than that it's perfect for both work and play

 

[Steven Ramadar]

Ent the RT u can't install 3rd party software on it?

 

[Mr.Bollywood]

Ent the RT u can't install 3rd party software on it?

Some third party software, there's only a few compatible with it.. Or only some have been released for it!

 

[nirtime]

The rt uses a mobile chipset which cannot process as many instructions sets as a "full sized" x86 which makes it a bit useless compared to an ipad or android tablet as the windows apps store really lacks proper apps for the rt.

 

[Steven Ramadar]

I shall buy a Surface Pro 3...in the next few years. That price just too high

 

[nirtime]

I think the same, an ultrabook works wonders for now.

I think the best option in this case is to get a touchscreen laptop with a rotatable screen. Doubles as a tablet as well and is much cheaper, not to mention more powerful.
