Apple iPad Mini For Sale - Specs and Price in Pakistan
Apple iPad Mini Review
With the Pakistani society rapidly moving from Low cost Nokia phones towards the tablet world, the arrival of Apple iPad mini comes as good news across the country. The tablets from Samsung, Google and other Chinese brands have seen a drastic improvement in the sales and this is what the Apple guys saw and tried to make a comeback with this mini tablet model. While the Apple iPad mini price in Pakistan simply cannot sweep the tablet floor, it still is expected to mark it presence for those looking for reliable performance over time.Apple iPad mini is targeted towards the buyers that want to own a smart tablet with the latest features, reliable performance and stylish looks in as compact size as possible. And Apple mini comes around pretty well what it was intended for. The screen size has been reduced from 9.7 inches to 7.9 inches and the screen size resolution has gone down as well compared to Apple iPad 3, which on the surface looks fine for reducing the size. But comparing the screen size and screen resolution from Google’s Nexus 7, it should’ve been better. iPad mini supports 768 x 1024 pixels on a 7.9-inch screen while Google Nexus 7 offers 800 x 1280 pixels on a 7-inches screen. In addition, the Oleophobic coating is the only protection on iPad mini whereas iPad 3 came with scratch-resistant coating and Nexus 7 offers Corning Glass over the display. Comparing Apple iPad mini to Samsung Galaxy Tab is simply and offence to Apple because of the quality and the specs in both the tablets.
However, in terms of user experience, no competitor beats Apple iPad mini. With Apple A5 chipset running a Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, iPad mini runs a iOS 6 giving the best graphics and display quality. Compared to Nexus 7, which comes with a Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset with Quad-core 1.3 CPU, in a lower price, still the user interface, the responsiveness and the reliability is matchless as compared to its Apple rival.
Apple iPad mini offers both, primary camera on the back and secondary camera on the front, which is another aspect telling go ahead to the potential buyers where almost every other tablet offers only one camera on the back of it. The camera quality is without a second thought great, with smooth video recording and image capturing capabilities. The storage, however is as traditional to Apple products, not extendable and available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models.
One thing that really makes Apple iPad mini mark its presence is that it is available in two models, the one running plain Wi-Fi and the other supporting both, Wi-Fi and Cellular connectivity. The cellular model supports all, 2G, 3G and LTE connectivity as well.
The Apple iPad mini price in Pakistan is one feature that is certainly the only deal breaker in this tablet. Where other tablets with comparatively similar specifications and features are available in half the price, Apple iPad mini goes way beyond everything. However, if price is not the matter of concern and quality is all that matters to you, Apple iPad mini is the only buy out there.
