Buy 4G LTE or WiFi Only?

[DS1331]

Just sold my WiFi version and purchased the LTE unit.

My reasons are similar to what others are saying; save battery on my cell.

Counting the days for vzw to approve the Nexus

How's Verizon going to have a nexus aren't they Sim based only?

I'm on T-Mobile and it seems I have to pay for tethering. So which would be better? Buy the LTE nexus 7 and pay for a monthly data plan? Or pay for monthly tethering?

T-Mobile recently added free tethering to their prepaid plans and post paid already had it in some. What plan do you have?

I'm on the $60 Simple Choice post paid plan. So I don't think I'm eligible for any free tethering. I guess I could see about switching to prepaid?

Pretty much the same article as above. That's for only prepaid accounts not post paid.

I just bought an LTE-enabled Nexus 7 because I'd like to be able to easily use mine when I'm out and about. The tablet plans from AT&T aren't bad, and the free 200mb per month that T-Mobile is offering now to anyone with an LTE-enabled tablet will be nice to take advantage of.

Still not sure if I'll keep the tablet, as I'm not sure if I need the upgrade, but I figured I'd grab it when I saw it at Best Buy since it's sold out on Google. I'll take it back if Google announces something more interesting in the next two weeks.

You would be better off just paying the extra $10 for unlimited as you will then get 2.5GB of tethering.

Hi Guys! I am planning on getting a Note 10.1 2014 Ed.
I am torn vs WiFi and LTE versions.
Reason why I am torn?

The wifi version here in the Philippines is only at 16GB.
While the LTE version has 32GB.
I am high on internal memory, as I use external for my media.
I use the internal memory for my apps, and I have a lot.
Also, the reason why I am considering the WiFi only version, is I am planning on getting a pocket wifi.
AND the Octacore. So I was told that it works like this.
1.9Ghz Quadcore + 1.3Ghz Quadcore = 12.8Ghz worth of processing power.
If that is true, then I guess I'll just buy the WiFi, and get a 64GB microSD.

What do you guys think?

Actually, Wi-Fi only is better. For example, in the US Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T810), it has all the features of an unlocked device (minus 4G LTE capabilities), including Microsoft Office apps, Smart Manager, and more, without any carrier restrictions. Many display languages are also supported, making them even more global friendly despite not having a 4G LTE radio.

A Wi-Fi only Tab S2 can compensate for the missing features on the Galaxy S6. It has the same look and feel between the two, from the menus to the entire UI.

If you decide to buy a Samsung tablet, make sure to buy a Wi-Fi only variant, not the 4G LTE variant.
