Mobiles have a number of features alike, but manufacturers also try to differentiate their own products by implementing additional functions so they are more attractive to consumers. It’s led to great innovation in mobile device development throughout the last Two decades
If you’re in the market for a new tablet, you’ll probably going to stumble upon both the Asus Google Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini 2. While the first runs on Android and the second one obviously utilizes iOS, they are somewhat similar in what you can use them for and ultimately, what they cost. Of course, tastes differ, but if you need to make a choice between the two, make sure to read on.
Although both smart devices have been out on the market for quite a while, the lowered price and the wider availability make the iPad Mini 2 ( or iPad Mini with Retina Display) and the 2013 version of the Asus Google Nexus 7 two of the current hottest 7-inch tablets up for sale. But which one of the two does offer better specifications at the best price?
Design & Specifications
While the iPad Mini 2 with Retina Display is thinner than the Google Nexus 7 (2013) it does seem to be heavier and quite larger as it has a 7.87 x 5.30 x 0.30 inch size with a weight of 12.03 oz. compared to the 7.87 x 4.49 x 0.34 inches with 10.55 oz case of the Nexus tablet.
Although it can be debated whether the Apple A7 with 64-bit architecture featured on the iPad Mini 2 is better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro featured on the Nexus 7 (2013) it is certain that the Nexus Quad Core 1,5 GHz Krait processor backed up by 2 GB of Ram is far more powerful that the Apple’s Dual Core 1,3 MHz one, which is backed up only by 1 GB of DDR 3 RAM memory.
Display & Sound
The Retina Display of the iPad Mini 2 is the selling point of the device, being far superior than the one featured on the Nexus 7 (2013) as it is 7.9 inches with 324 ppi and 2048 x 1536 pixels in size, whereas the Google’s 7-inch tablet features a 7-inch display offering a 1920 x 1080 pixels FullHD picture quality with 323 ppi. Although, the display on the Nexus is quite beautiful to look at and offers a pretty decent color intensity, brightness and contrast, it is quite inferior compared to the iPad Mini with its Retina display.
Battery Life
Both tablets offer pretty decent battery life of up to 10 hours of multimedia use. As the one featured in the Apple’s iPad Mini 2 is irreplaceable by the user, the Google Nexus 7 may seem to win by default in the battery life category. However, as the battery is pretty hard to be removed and replaced by the common user as well, and as the one featured on the iPad mini seems to be pretty sustainable and solid both devices receive equal grades for the battery life.
Camera
Every Apple product is aimed at bringing the perfect multimedia business and the iPad Mini 2 with retina display is no different. The size of the camera featured on the device may be the same as the one featured on the Nexus 7, but the software and additional hardware that back it up are making the pictures on the Apple’s 7-Inch tablet crisp and clear. Just some of the features on the Apple’s iPad Mini 2 camera are the Back-illuminated sensor, the digital zoom and geo tagging, HDR and the Digital image stabilization.
Overall
While the Apple iPad Mini 2 with Retina Display is perfect for multimedia use, if you are planning to play high-quality games or use your phone with apps that require a lot processing power the Google Nexus 7 would be the right pick. As the price of both devices differs, because of retailer availability, it all comes down to which OS you prefer – the Apple iOS or the Google’s Android and if you want to receive a great multimedia experience or a equally decent one backed up by processor and memory power.
