Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 or Note 8.0

[blr_p]

If the user can afford it , then certainly 3g option is preferable as for some reason if your wifi goes bonkers one day, you can rely on the sim for the time being.

What about the sim in your smartphone ?

If your phone can put out a hotspot then you don't need it in the tab.

Otherwise as i said you have a dual sim capabilty with data on one sim and phone on another but this is pricey. The cheap 3g is not GSM and cannot be used here.

I could not justify the 9k extra for 3g on my ipad mini and hence did not buy it .

Right

If i recall correctly with the 7" galaxy tab2 there was at least a 5-7k difference between 3g and wifi only variants. Pretty significant when price was under 20k.

However, if the price difference were 3k, i would have certainly gone for it.

Well, this is the interesting bit, OP gives the impression that a wifi only variant of this tab is also available. Well, in India they only sell the 3G version so i have no idea what the wifi only variant would cost. It would have to be imported from abroad.

That's the tab3, you have a note 8.

I meant note 8 wif only vs note 8 3g. Note 8 wifi only is the better buy.

given a choice between tab 3 & note 8, note 8 is better for sure. I read they released the kernel source for note 8 some time back so there should be some intersting roms available for it soon.

I bought the tab 3 mate! I didnt see any justification for spending 31k on a note 8 for my usage pattern!!
