Apple iPad mini 2 is a brilliantly designed device launched back in 2013, equipped with an extremely powerful 1300 MHz Dual-Core processor, a pretty big 7.9-inches multi touch screen, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.2 MP front-facing camera.
Apple equipped this tablet with a high performance 1300 megahertz Dual-Core 64-bit processing unit, bundled in the Apple A7 system chip with only 1 GB of RAM which is a little disappointing for such a good tablet. Collaborating with graphic intensive applications, it also has a PowerVR G6430 graphic processing unit ticking at 600 megahertz. A great point of the iPad mini 2 is its large 64 GB internal memory and whereas it doesn't include an SD memory card expansion slot, it is still enough to install tons of apps, games, photos and videos without having to worry about how much storage capacity is left.
This tablet is only 7.87" long and 5.3 inches wide, but it is able to fit a a 7.9" display. This tablet is just 0.3 inches thick, taking it to the thinnest device's category. This tablet doesn't feel very lightweight comparing to other tablets , with a weight of 11.68 oz. Talking about its aspect, this device is mainly made with Aluminium, giving this device a top level finish and improved resistance. Apple is offering this tablet in 3 different color options, black, gray and white.
The iPad mini 2 features two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 1.2 MP front side camera. This tablet also films videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. In addition, this tablet's camera also includes a large number of amazing features: auto-focus, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, HDR mode, time lapse video and geo tagging.
Apple packed the iPad mini 2 with a gorgeous 7.9 inches screen, and a 1536 x 2048 resolution, making everything look beautiful and brightful. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
This device provides wifi capability (and it can provide it to other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance internet connection and 3G fast internet connection, over HSPA, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This tablet works with a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers.
The iPad mini 2 comes with a 6471 mAh large Li-Polymer non-removable battery that provides this tablet an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into account is that this tablet's battery is not replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to get older, though with this big battery you will probably buy a new tablet before that becomes a real problem.
The iPad mini 2 also features a couple useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
Apple is offering this tablet for 285 dollars, which is a rather high price for a portable tablet this level. The Apple iPad mini 2 is definitely very appropiate no matter whether you want it for work, will use this device majorly for internet broswing and social networks, are looking for a gaming device or you love taking photographs. Apple packs this tablet with Lightning to USB Cable and USB Power Adapter.
