Chances are I'm going to be upgrading from my Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Tablet to an actual Android Tablet. My choices are the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" or the Samsung Galaxy Note 8". Right now I'm kinda leaning towards the Tab 2, due to it's larger screen size, but something about the Note is just appealing. I already have a "Phablet", an LG Optimus G Pro that has a 5.5" 1080p display. So I'm not sure if I should just go for the Tablet with the bigger screen or get the one that's more portable and has more processing power. Anyone have any thoughts?

Can anyone tell me anything that really sets them apart, other than screen size? One of the main reasons I'm wanting an actual tablet instead of a Kindle, is because several games coming out this year allow players to use Tablets, such as Battlefield 4 and Tom Clancy's: The Division. I'd also like to have one I just take around to places and stream movies and check my email when on the go and possibly read books on, when I want something larger than my phone or its battery is almost dead.

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

I don't have much experience with Tabelts period, the Kindle Fire HD isn't really an actual Tablet as it's very limited by Amazon's butchered version of Android 4.0.

I'm looking into them, but neither one seem like they have 4G, which is really the only real good thing the Kindle Fire HD has, besides being full 1080p resolution.

Edit: Nevermind, AT&T has them both listed as 4G capable.

 

Think I'm going to go with the Note 8.0. It may be 2 inches smaller, but it's got a faster CPU and twice the memory, which is good. I read reviews for both Tablets and apparently the Tab 2 runs pretty sluggish when doing certain things.

 

I have the Tab 2 and I wish I had the Note... although I got it on sale so it was half the price of the Note at the time. It's decent but I keep feeling it could be better. That being said, my dad has a Nexus 7, and even though it has better specs I prefer the size of the Tab 2 by far... what about the 10 inch version of the Note?

 

Getting it from AT&T and they don't have the 10 inch version, but if they did I'd pick it hands down.

 

Getting my Note 8.0 on Friday!
