Apple iPad mini 2 is a totally fascinating tablet device launched in October 2013, with a comfortable 7.9-inches capacitive display, a high performance 1300 MHz Dual-Core 64-bits processing unit, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 1.2 megapixels front camera. We will get a better understanding of this tablet's specifications when we get into specific details.
Apple is offering this device in three colors: black, gray and white. About its design, this tablet is mainly created with Aluminium, which gives a quality feel and improved resistance. This tablet just has 7.87" long, but it manages to hold a 7.9 inches screen. The Apple iPad mini 2 is just 0.3 inches thick, making its way into the thinnest portable tablets podium. This tablet doesn't feel very lightweight for a portable tablet this size, weighting 12.03 ounces.
Apple sells the iPad mini 2 with an exceptional 1.3 GHz Dual-Core 64 bits processor, bundled in an Apple A7 system chip and only 1 GB RAM which is a bit low considering its powerful processing power. Graphic calculations usually consume lots of processing power, so the iPad mini 2 has an additional 600 megahertz PowerVR G6430 graphic processing unit to unload the CPU. The iPad mini 2 comes with a 32 GB awesome internal memory and though it doesn't come with a slot for an external memory card, it it is more than enough to store tons of applications, games, pictures and videos without even thinking about filling it.
The iPad mini 2 includes a gorgeous 1536 x 2048 7.9-inches display, making everything look completely perfect. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.
The iPad mini 2 is equipped with two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.2 MP front side camera. It also shoots 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps. The camera also counts with a large number of interesting characteristics like auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, time lapse video and geo tagging.
This tablet provides wifi capability (and it can share it with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high speed internet connection and fast 3G connectivity, over HSPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This tablet uses a Nano SIM card to connect to GSM networks and it can connect using both GSM and CDMA carriers.
This tablet features a 6471 mAh amazing Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery, enough to provide this tablet with an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that the Apple iPad mini 2's battery is not removable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to lose its charge, whereas with so much capacity you will probably replace this tablet before that becomes an issue.
The iPad mini 2 also comes with a couple cool characteristics like Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
The Apple iPad mini 2 costs around $ 259, not very cheap for comparing with other similar tablets. No matter whether you want a tablet to mainly use social networks and internet browsing, are looking for a tablet to play games, want this portable tablet to take plenty of pictures or want a work tablet, you will probably love this tablet. This tablet sells with Lightning to USB Cable and USB Power Adapter.
