#Asus tf101 tablet for android
In the game RipTide GP, which is designed more for Android smartphones but runs in full-screen on a tablet, the game looked a hair smoother on the Asus especially when there were several opponents on the screen at once. Shoot a ball at the same time, and it will careen around a bit faster. On both models, in a side-by-side test, the Asus Transformer operated a hair faster. For example, Pinball HD is designed specifically for Tegra 2 tablets.
Interestingly, we saw a few differences when testing games. In our tests, though, we didn't notice that any app worked remarkably faster on the Transformer. Using the AnTutu benchmark utility, the Samsung consistently scored fractionally lower than the Asus. And, in repeated speed tests with the same group of apps - browser, photo gallery, Gmail, Google Earth, and several others - the results were roughly the same. Performance on an Android tablet is partly based on the processor and RAM allotment, which are the same on both tablets. In reality, both tablets looked about the same at an angle. The Samsung uses TFT technology, but the Transformer uses the IPS technology that is supposed to be better for side-viewing. Oddly, the Transformer, per the specs, should have the superior screen. Games tended to pop off the screen in a more colorful way on the Samsung. In testing a handful of other videos and photos, the Samsung looked brighter, clearer, and more colorful in everything from a Bridesmaids trailer to our own video captures and photos with the device. On the Transformer, the same clip looked gray and dark (and the scene is not supposed to be ominous, unlike the remainder of the film). Viewing the exact same Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer side by side, Potter's mum - with her red hair and rosy cheeks - popped on the screen with a much richer colour treatment. There's no question the Tab 10.1 is brighter than the Asus Transformer, especially with the brightness setting cranked all the way up. Evaluating the differences between the two tablets starts with the 10.1-inch screen - that's what you see when you first power-up the machine, you will use it for controlling apps and playing movies with finger swipes and presses, and the screen tends to cause the most battery drain.
