The Battle Of The Titans Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 v/s Sony Xperia Tablet Z


Samsung is the undisputed king of Android handsets in the market these days. Its Galaxy series of smartphones and tablets have almost filled the space and rightly so. It offers quality and provides value that only a few seem to replicate. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the newest addition to the Galaxy line- up and it is undoubtedly one of the best tablets around. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 price is approximated at Rs. 49,990. Tablet price, in general, can go from Rs. 2,499 to Rs. 49,990. But the million bucks question is: can Samsung’s latest addition beat Sony's much- hyped and water resistant Xperia Tablet Z? Here, we put them into a head- to- head battle. Let's find out the winner. 


Design

Samsung, with Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, has finally ditched the slippery plastic casing and this new tablet has faux leather back with fake stitching at the edges. It has raised patterns over it, which ensures a firm grip. It is thick at 8.9mm and feels a little heftier at 597g. When it comes to looks, Sony Xperia Tablet Z doesn't try too hard and there are no fancy bells and whistles around here. It is a simple black rectangular device. But hell, what an amazing rectangle it is! The front made from toughened glass which is scratch resistant and highly glossy. It is the thinnest tablet available in the market. You'll just start gushing about how amazingly thin this tablet is. It measures only 6.9mm (0.27 inches) and it weighs at only 495g.












Display

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has an LCD display. Yep, you read that correctly. A TFT one at that and the resolution is underwhelming at 1280 x 800 pixels. But it's still got a vibrant display with quite decent viewing angles. It just lacks the X-factor that we've come to expect from Samsung. On the other hand, Sony Xperia Tablet Z sports a full- HD display on the screen size of 10.1 inches. It gives a resolution of 1200 x 1920 pixels with a pixel density of 224 ppi. It is not the sharpest of displays but it still excels here with its intelligent screen processing technology.


Processors

The Samsung Galaxy Note10.1 is powered by 1.4 GHz quad core Exynos with 2GB RAM whereas Sony Xperia Tablet Z is powered by 1.5 GHz Qualcomm APQ8064 + MDM9215M Quad Core with a standard 2GB RAM.














Interface and Performance

There is no Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. It is just the heavily modified version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Overall, Samsung's Android overlay is impressive. It enables you to take on two things at once (the 2GB RAM takes care of all that) and there are some funky options that claim to make your life easier. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z sails on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS. It is not the latest version, but the update is on the roll. Sony Xperia Tablet Z has a better download speed at 42Mbps whereas the Samsung Note has a download speed of 21Mbps.















Camera

You would look like a moron if you base your tablet- buying on the camera capabilities of the tablet. Using a camera on a 10 inch tablet would be out- and- about atrocious! Having said that, the camera on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is quite good which is a good 5- megapixels complete with an LED flash. And this camera is a marked improvement in the tablets. On the other hand, Sony Xperia Tablet Z has an 8.1 megapixels camera on the rear and it also has secondary camera of 2.2 megapixels. And the camera does a good job. But mind it, taking pictures on a tablet won' be a good idea.




















Verdict

The signature Note from Samsung comes at a price tag that can actually make a hole in your pockets. At this price, it costs higher than what other brands like Apple, Microsoft and other manufacturers have to offer. If you don't find a stylus very important, then this premium tablet also won't be important to you. But if you prefer the feel of a stylus rather than the touch of the glass against your fingertips, then the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 might be the tablet you've been looking for.
Sony Xperia Tablet Z is one of the most beautiful devices out there, thanks to its design and weight. Also, there are features on Xperia Tablet Z that you won't find anywhere else such as waterproofing. It can connect to a PS3 controller which makes it a delight for all you gamers and makes it an ace “gaming device”.

Android App Development Tools

Android Development Tools (ADT) is a plugin which allows you to create Android apps for mobile phones. You can set up your Android projects, create an application UI, add packages for the Android Framework API, export signed and unsigned .apk files so you can distribute your apps, and debug your apps using the Android SDK tools.


Developing with ADT in the Eclipse IDE is the best way to develop apps. The various features of it, which includes tools integration and asimply guided project setup, should mean that developing apps is a much more manageable task.
The main functions are as follows:


  • It’s a full Java IDE. This means there is Android-specific refactoring, integrated navigation between Java and XML resources, analysis tools to understand performance and usability issues, support for more complicated projects, and a template-based wizard to set up simpler Android projects. 
  • It has graphical UI builders. You can build detailed Android UI using drag and drop, see how your UI looks like on a variety of devices, switch themes and platform versions without building, and view editorial assistance to help with working with custom UI components. 
  • It has on-device developer options. This enables you to debug over USB, capture bug reports onto a device, view CPU usage on screen, and getdetailed debugging information onscreen.
  • It allows you to develop on hardware devices.You can use any commercial Android device, or even multiple devices, transfer your app to connected devices directly from the IDE, and debug, test, and profile live on the device. 
  • You can develop on virtual devices. You can also emulate advanced hardware such as cameras, sensors, and telephony. You can even develop and test for broad device compatibility.
  • It allows for powerful debugging. There is a full Java debugger which allows you to debug on-device and gives you access to Android-specific tools. There is a built-memory analysis function, as well as performance profiling and OpenGL ES tracing. You can use graphical tools to debug and optimise UI and view analysis of your app’s bandwidth use. 
  • There’s a fully scriptable test environment. Here you can view integrated reports using standard test UI and create and run unit tests on physical devices or emulated ones.
  • C and C++ support is available.As well as support for compiling and packaging existing C and C++ code, there is also support for packaging multiple architectures in single binary for much broader compatibility.


What’s available in the Dev Tools app

The Dev Tools app is installed on all systems included with the SDK and is also usable with Android emulators. You’ll be able to more easily test and debug your Android apps.
It relies on a rangeof permissions which aren’t available for third parties. If you wanted to install Dev Tools on a real development device, you would need to build a system image for the device and sign the Dev Tools app with the same key as the system image.
The Dev Tools application has the following options:

  • Debug app. This lets you select the app you want to debug. 
  • Wait for debugger. This blocks your app from loading until a debugger attaches to it. 
  • Show screen updates. A pink rectangle will flash on any screens that are being redrawn. 
  • Immediately destroy activities. This option will tell the system to destroy an activity the moment it’s stopped.  
  • Show CPU usage. This will display CPU meters at the top of the screen which show CPU usage.
  • Show background. This option displays a background pattern when there aren’t any activity screens up.

The Rise of the Fake Follower

There are remarkably few people that do not have a social network profile on one of the many platforms. I use both Twitter and Facebook regularly, and enjoy the banter and friendships that have been forms over the years. However, more people than ever before are choosing to set up a fake profile, and I often wonder why they do this, and what they gain. I was surprised to discover that the number of fake profiles on these social media sites is high and growing every day. The numbers are difficult to calculate; however, we should never underestimate the numbers of fake profiles that are being set up and used daily. Facebook has admitted in the past that there are over eighty million profiles that are likely to be fake.

That figure is staggering, and I often wonder why these sites do not clamp down on the fake profiles, and what the people using them gain from pretending to be someone else. However, I also thought about how fake followers can help small businesses, and many of these do buy twitter followers. Whether this is ethical can always be debated, but does it seriously hurt anyone having these fake followers.

Creating a whole alter ego for social networking sites can be fun, but time consuming, which is why I wonder why people bother. I understand that removing yourself from reality can be fun, and everyone wants to be seen as someone different. Life can be incredibly tedious, which is why some of these fake profiles are created.

If the fake profiles and followers are used as a tool I can understand why more people are deciding to use these for their own gain.But I do not agree with these profiles being used to hurt or abuse anyone, which is a line that you need to think about. There are numerous websites that you can use if you want to receive more followers to your page or business.
These are designed to help boost your followers, and make it seem that you have far more than you actually do. People will think that you are a massive success, and want to be part of the buzz, which is why so many people are choosing this path. One of the top websites to use is followersboost.com which enables you to buy followers, and help your site.

The cost to purchase fake followers is low, which is why so many people choose this option rather than months, or possibly years of gaining genuine followers. Online marketing can be complicated, and when you need to build a customer base, you may want results fast. We all know how vital social media is to our businesses, which is why buying followers is not seen as a bad thing.

Followers can help every business, and I know that I wanted to have as many as possible, to make me feel respected. I had never considered buying followers, why would I as I considered my account to be fascinating. But not everyone does, which is why the option to buy followers was affordable, convenient and didn’t make me feel guilty. If like me you love those silent pats on the back when the stuff you post gets shared and liked, you will want more followers.As a business,  we can get away with calling it branding, but a personal account is harder to explain. There are remarkably few people though that does not receive some form of delight when their posts are retweeted and shared.

I have noticed that people with a huge amount of followers does cause attention, and will also show promise and potential. I soon realised that even fake followers were recognised as a benefit and that it was an area that was becoming more popular. I considered whether buying fake followers was simply promoting a fake profile and building a lie. But I don’t consider it to be this at all, and the followers that I purchase are there to help and promote my account. As more real users see that the numbers are growing on my account, they soon joined in the fun, and this was encouraging. I wanted credibility for what I was writing, and this was the best way to go about this, in the quickest time. Earning followers may seem like a good way to spend your time, but it can be draining.

I found that I had to be constantly sharing, and tweeting,which can be time consuming and I have other things to do during the day. This is how I found that buying the followers was far easier, and cut out a massive proportion of effort and work that was needed. I begun to research options and discovered that for around $5,  I could gain followers instantly.
Once you begin to understand how the process of buying followers works, it does become easier as I soon discovered. The followers are in fact Google bots, so know how to make the most of their task, and ensure that people follow your stuff. I had to learn that there was no interaction with my new followers, and I felt a little odd that my new friends were robots.

I also considered if the fact that they were robots, was simply an empty number and that they would bring me no long term gain. It was all for show, and these robots were designed to make me look popular, nothing else. I also realised that the fake followers were causing problems with recording the true numbers of followers on social media sites. Some of the sites that offer to sell you followers are scams, which is why I spent a long time researching all of my options. I did not want to pay for something that would never happen, as this was something that I could not afford. After much thought and debate I looked at every scenario, and came to the conclusion that if I wasn’t hurting anyone, and it was my money then what was the harm in having fake followers.
