Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 vs Asus FonePad vs Google Nexus 7:Who is the boss?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0                                                                                                                           The new GALAXY Tab 3 puts your comfort at the forefront. It improves on each and every aspect of its predecessor to make sure you enjoy your new tab even more. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3's light, comfortable design, myriad useful features, and bright colorful screen makes the 8-incher one of the best small tablets on the market. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 also caters to your business needs. The presence of two cameras also helps in this matter as the back camera can be used for documenting business events and meetings whereas the front camera allows for collaboration through video chat, taking shots of others or even perfectly-framed photos of yourself. Equipped with a 1.2 GHZ Dual Core Processor, it can handle just about anything you ask it to do ? smoothly, quickly and expertly. This tablet comes installed with the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system, contains a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, and has a 7-inch display with 1024x600 resolution, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera. It is also equipped with an IR blaster so it will work as a universal remote on both your TV and cable box. The Galaxy Tab 3 offers 8 GB of onboard memory and features a microSD card slot that allows you to add up to 64 GB of additional memory (microSD card sold separately). The tablet measures 7.4 by 4.37 by 0.39 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 0.67 pounds including the battery. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 will last for almost dead-on nine hours. That’s good performance for a small tablet.

But,All of this would be forgivable if the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 was one of the cheaper 7-inch tablets on the market, but it isn't.A price of $300 is a lot for any small tablet, and some features like Smart Stay and Watch On’s search don’t work as well as intended.

THE BOTTOM LINE The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is a deeply average tablet that's been way over-priced by Samsung.It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung’s best non-Note tablet yet. But battery life, on the other hand, counts for a lot. If you need battery life more than anything then this is your tablet.                                                                                                                               Price:$299                                                                                                                                              VS                                                                                                                                                         Asus FonePad                                                                                                                                           Asus has announced the Fonepad phone and tablet (phablet) despite already having the Padfone.The Fonepad is pretty thin and light making it easy to hold in one hand. The Asus Fonepad is powered by an Intel Atom Z2420, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz and 1GB of RAM. The tablet, sorry phablet, was running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean well enough when we used the Fonepad but we did notice some lag when scrolling.According to the spec sheet here at MWC, the Fonepad will be available in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB models. Unlike the Nexus 7, there's a microSD card slot for expansion (up to 32GB cards). Also included is 5GB of Asus WebStorage, free for life.

Cameras are pretty low spec at 3Mp rear and 1.3Mp front facing. This isn't great considering most users rely on their smartphone's camera for day to day snaps.     Finally,The Asus FonePad tablet performs well enough and has a truly useful screen adjustment feature. It's a fine tablet, but $275 is too much if you're not planning to use the phone feature.                                                                                                               Specifications

Google Nexus 7                                                                                                                                           The Google Nexus 7 was, for a long time, the ultimate compact tablet. With an attractive price, great build and speedy software updates direct from Google, it was the pure Android experience many craved so dearly.The Nexus 7 features a sharp screen, a comfortable design, and great battery life at a low starting price.It’s slicker, faster and sleeker than any other 7-inch tablet on the market right now, and only the rear facing camera really lets it down.The battery life is really impressive, and the sheer diversity on offer, be it through the uprated CPU, screen, or GPU, mean that we struggled to put it down at times. Android 4.2 adds some welcome and useful features.

But, Android still needs more tablet-optimized apps, newer games have frame rate issues, and HSPA+ speeds seem particularly location-dependent.

The bottom line: With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Specifications
