Score: 63.3 / 100Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro) is a powerful iPadOS tablet, which features a pretty large 8.3" screen, and 2 cameras, a 12 megapixels back side camera and a 12 MP front facing camera. But let's get into some more details.
This tablet has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.25". Whereas this tablet only has 7.69" long, it manages to pack a 8.3" display. Apple is offering the iPad mini (A17 Pro) in a lot of color variations like blue, purple, space gray and starlight. This device feels much lighter than what one would expect from a portable tablet this size. The Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro) design is a mix of Aluminum and Aluminum.
Apple designed the iPad mini (A17 Pro) with a beautiful 8.3" screen, and a resolution of 1488 x 2266 , making everything look perfect.
The iPad mini (A17 Pro) has a 128 GB impressive internal memory and while it doesn't have an external SD slot, it it is more than enough to store hundreds of apps without worrying about filling it.
The Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro) has WiFi capability (although it can't provide it to other devices acting as a hotspot), 5G incredibly fast connectivity, LTE-A 4G high bandwidth data connection and also HSPA+ connection type (a lower speed 4G type) and fast 3G connectivity, over HSDPA technologies. The iPad mini (A17 Pro) doesn't have a SIM card, because it doesn't support GSM services.
This tablet is equipped with two cameras, a 12 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 12 megapixels front facing camera. This tablet also captures videos in 4K 3840x2160 at 60 frames per second, and slow-motion videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 240 frames per second.
The iPad mini (A17 Pro) also includes a couple nice features like Fingerprint Sensor, Bluetooth (5.3) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.
This tablet is not a very good choice considering it costs $ 499, while some similar tablets are being sold for much less than that. This tablet is a very good choice if you will use it mostly for social networks and internet browsing, you love taking pictures or will use it for gaming.
