~£250 seems 'reasonable'

jubei · 7 Jan 2014 at 10:36

There a release date for the tabs yet?

Robbo · 7 Jan 2014 at 10:44

Still waiting for a magnificent Android phone...

Is it on the way? Nexus 5 is tempting but falls short in a few silly areas.

doodah · 7 Jan 2014 at 10:55

Agreed. GS5 doesn't set my world alight, nor the M8 and probably whatever flagship Sony phone offer.

Everything has gone in a circle, we had massive phones, they went smaller, now people want bigger phones again and its the same with tablets :confused:

7 and 9.7/10 inch tabs seems fine to me, why go bigger?!?!?!

According to phonearena

If they are correct it puts them out of contention for me. Was already a stretch to send my n7 2013 back and pay 50 extra for the gpad. Certainly not gonna pay more than that.

Vuvuzela · 7 Jan 2014 at 12:23

Was hoping they would be cheaper too - I hope these are not the final prices

doodah · 7 Jan 2014 at 12:40

Hhhmmm maybe not.

V4NT0M · 7 Jan 2014 at 13:00

Prices are pretty much in line with current tablets, at least the ten inchers.

hmm i swear when i was in the market for ipad for my g/f the retina mini was around 275. I got the ipad air for 330 instead.

Now i look and mini seems to be like 320 :| i expected the samsung 8.4 at sort of 250 odd i didnt realise prices were so high.

Considering none of these actually exist yet, how could you possibly know?

whats wrong with the nexus 5? what phone at the same price point beats it?

I don't care about the price point, I'll happily pay more as long as it does what I want. Aren't you aware of its flaws?

Going off rumours, pinch of salt, but I doubt the rumoured specs for the S5 or M8 are far off the final models.

No?

what flaws besides the camera?

Storage? Dodgy loudspeaker? I'm sure other things could be better/further improved too.

S4 should float your boat then

I've got one, it's pretty good but seemed too similar to the S3 after a while.

I want to see what's next!
