Apple iPad mini 2 Review

Apple iPad mini 2 is a breath-taking iOS tablet launched back in the year 2013, featuring a quite big 7.9-inches multi-touch screen, an extremely powerful 64-bits Dual-Core processor running at 1.3 GHz, a 5 MP back camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front-facing camera. But let's get into much more details.

The Apple iPad mini 2 ships with a very powerful 1.3 gigahertz Dual-Core 64 bits processing unit, included in an Apple A7 chip and only 1 GB of RAM which is a little bit poor considering this tablet's awesome processor. Graphic calculations generally uses a lot of processing power, so the iPad mini 2 counts with an extra 600 MHz PowerVR G6430 graphics processing unit to take some work out of the processor. A great point of this tablet is its 128 GB big internal storage memory and even though it doesn't include an external memory card slot, it is still enough to install hundreds of apps without thinking about running out of space.

The iPad mini 2 is sold in three colors, black, gray and white. Talking about its design, the Apple iPad mini 2 is majorly created with Aluminium, which gives it a high quality design. Though this device is just 7.87" long, it manages to pack a 7.9" display. The iPad mini 2 is very slim and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.3 inches. It appears that Apple forgot about weight optimization in this 12.03 oz tablet.

This tablet is equipped with a great 1536 x 2048 7.9-inches display, which makes all images and videos look completely perfect. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This tablet features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.2 MP front side camera. It can also shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. This portable tablet also has multiple valuable characteristics like digital image stabilization, auto-focus, HDR mode, face detection shooting, time lapse video and geo tagging.

This device has a 6471 mAh inmense Li-Polymer non-removable battery providing this device an incredibly long battery life. An issue to take into account is that this device's battery is not replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to last shorter, whereas with such a big battery you will probably discard this tablet before that becomes an issue.

The Apple iPad mini 2 includes wifi connectivity (which it can share with other devices around, acting as a modem or router), LTE (4G) fast internet connection and 3G fast internet connection, using HSPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. The Apple iPad mini 2 works with a Nano SIM card for GSM services and it can connect to both GSM and CDMA.

This device also comes with a couple of nice features as Bluetooth (enables communication with other portable tablets, computers and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Apple iPad mini 2 is very expensive considering it is priced $ 549, and other similar tablets can be found for much less money. No matter if you will use it as a gamer portable tablet, want this tablet device to take plenty of pictures, will use it as a social portable tablet or will use it as a work tablet, this tablet is definitely the right choice for you. This tablet is sold with Lightning to USB Cable and USB Power Adapter.
