Apple iPad mini 3 Review

Apple iPad mini 3 is a brilliantly made iOS device released in 2014, with a high-tech 64-bit Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1300 MHz, a pretty big 7.9" touch-screen, a 5 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.2 MP front facing camera. But let's get into more detail.

The iPad mini 3 ships with a Apple A7 chip, holding an extremely fast 64 bits Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1300 MHz with only 1 GB RAM memory which is a bit disappointing considering the Apple iPad mini 3's awesome CPU. Graphic intensive games and applications usually uses a lot of CPU time, so the Apple iPad mini 3 also has a PowerVR G6430 graphics processing unit clocking at 600 megahertz to help handle those graphic tasks. A good point of the Apple iPad mini 3 is its quite large 16 GB internal memory and although it doesn't include a slot for external memory cards, it should be enough to install hundreds of apps, although it may not be enough if you are fan of the heaviest games currently available or taking tons of photos and videos.

It appears that Apple decided not to care much about the weight in this 11.68 oz tablet. About its construction materials, this tablet is majorly built with Aluminium, giving this tablet device a premium finish and better resistance. The iPad mini 3 is a compact tablet device, taking into consideration it packs a 7.9 inches display and it only has 7.87 inches long and 5.3 inches wide. The iPad mini 3 is slim and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.3 inches. The Apple iPad mini 3 is for sale in 2 different colors, gray and gold.

The Apple iPad mini 3 is equipped with two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.2 MP front facing camera. It also shoots 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. Additionally, this portable tablet's camera also includes many interesting characteristics: digital image stabilization, auto-focus, HDR mode, face detection shooting, geo tagging and time lapse video.

This tablet includes a beautiful 1536 x 2048 7.9" screen, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels forming the screen. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The iPad mini 3 includes Wi-Fi connection (which can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high speed connectivity and 3G fast internet connection, using HSPA, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This tablet uses a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

The iPad mini 3 has a 6350 mAh big non-replaceable battery, enough to provide the iPad mini 3 with a marvelous battery life. An issue to consider is that this device's battery is non-replaceable so you can't change it when it starts to lose its charge, even though with such a big battery you will probably replace this tablet before that becomes a real problem.

This tablet also comes with a handful of interesting features like Fingerprint ID, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This tablet is being sold for about $ 345, rather expensive for a portable tablet this level. It doesn't matter whether you want a gamer tablet, will use it mostly for social networks, are a photography fan or need it for work, this tablet device is definitely the correct option . If you buy the iPad mini 3 you will also get USB Power Adapter and Lightning to USB Cable.
