Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" for €139

FishHook

I see PC World having a sale on some of their Tablets.

A sale price of €139 is the cheapest I have seen for a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 7 Inch in this country. Is the Tab 4 due out soon?

Think I glanced at a headline somewhere that Tab 4 is being released May 1st. Could be completely wrong though.
Same tablet is €129 + postage on Expansys as well, black or white colour. Out of stock for a few days at the minute though so PC World is probably the better deal.

Ordered same tablet from asda direct for 79 gbp. Used parcel
motel 3.50 euro postage.
No problem using parcel motel id as name.

Yeah but the Asda deal is over is it not?

:edit: Oh it's back!!!

Not a bargain, sorry. The Asus Memo Pad is a much better buy IMHO.

Kenny what's the best deal for a Memo Pad?

Kenny Logins

At the moment, I think Currys/PC World @ €129. But HUKD has reported it as low as £89 recently - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/asus-memo-pad-hd-7-16gb-wifi-tablet-blue-89-online-with-code-3-quidco-89-clubcard-1876385

£99 on Amazon, but with the VAT increase and exchange rate, it'll be close to €129. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EOMRAKI

No doubt about it imo

Asda is cheaper at 79 sterling and deal is back on so keep checking.

The reviews for the Tab are desperate! I think the best one I saw described it as mediocre.

Don't mind that sh1te. I can tell you its a fine tab, and if you can nab it for £79, its a no-brainer.

What custom kernel did you use? Is it as straight forward to root as an android phone?

Last phone I rooted was the hTC desire! so its been a while.

does it improve performance much?

I'm thinking of buying one for much the same purposes - but would like a 10" one - the Asus Memo Pad 10" seems to be about €229 most places - anyone found them cheaper anywhere else or recommend an alternative quality 10" tab?

Thanks

It's the old model (I think, they seem to have it listed twice...).

I prefer the Asus Memo pad, but if you need the extra 16gb, yeah, it's a good deal.

This Nexus 7 is much better value IMO, even if its an extra €35.

x4 amount of storage, better resolution, stock android and much faster all around.

Or this even.

Zonda999

I have to agree. The tab 3 7" is a basic tablet by 2014 standards. Got one for the father at Christmas and while its perfectly fine for some browsing or youtube, the lag really annoys me.

The Nexus 7 (2012 or 2013 versions)would definitely be a better buy IMO

JONJO THE MISER

Is the google one the 2014 version?

JONJO THE MISER

How is the tab 3 8 inch for 180 Eur?
I really want a good camera and in most reviews it says the google camera is crap, so thats why im leaning towards the tab 3 8 inch.

Get an LG G Pad 8.3" it's a super tablet!

If its that Argos one you mean, its the 2012 one. Still a fine tablet though.

On the subject of the Tab 3 8", its actually far better all round than the Tab 3 7", however, if that LG G-Pad was available for a similar price, definitely go for that!

JONJO THE MISER

I think ill go for the tab 3 8 inch tomorrow, first tab so thanks for the advice.

JONJO THE MISER

Went in to Argos today and the deal for the 8 inch tab was gone:(.
Back up to 260 now. Will have to wait until it hits 180 again i guess.

Price ended yesterday alright.
If you reserved it online when it was the 180 price you'd be able to get it at the 180 though of you mentioned it.

Did you ever find a custom rom?

I ended up putting blackhawk 2.1 and SEAL rom,

but it keeps crashing

have restored to stock and am going to try with just the blackhawk kernel.

did performance suite make much difference?

and what about nova laucher?

Thanks for help

This (HP Slate) has a similar spec, with the bonus of 3G (not sure if it takes a SIM directly..) for £99.
