iPad Mini vs new Nexus 7 on paper - ZDNet.nl

Summary: Google started the first Nexus 7 small table slow, but Apple soon came alongside the iPad Mini. Take the second Nexus 7 now again an edge in this market segment?

We have put together a list in a separate article to the specifications of the new Nexus 7. No device is not in itself and only when you compare it with the competition, it becomes clear whether the new small tablet from Asus is worth considering.

Screen
The new Nexus 7 has a seven-inch Full HD display (1920 x 1200 pixels) with a 16:9 aspect ratio. That’s a big blow for the iPad Mini, with its image resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, but the little Apple tablet has a slightly larger screen than the Nexus 7 (7.9 inches). It is still too early to determine how it is made with the viewing angles, brightness and overall quality of the upgraded Google tablet.

Computing
The Nexus 7 second generation will come with a 1.5Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and Adreno 320 GPU, plus 2 GB of RAM. Graphically this is a giant step forward, but this quad-core chip in terms of power not as impressive as for example the Nvidia Tegra 4.

Nevertheless, the Nexus 7 with support for OpenGL ES 3.0 a lot to offer to gamers, because in the picture they can get more effects than would otherwise be.

possible

If you do move across the iPad Mini, which is equipped with Apple’s A5 dual-core processor, the tablet is clearly deficient. This is the processor that is present in the iPad 2 and the fourth generation iPod Touch, representing a capable but outdated processor (1 GHz). Add to that the iPad Mini but has 512MB of memory and the Nexus 7 emerges as the clear winner.

Price per gigabyte
If you’re talking about small tablets, the asking price of vital importance. Although the new Nexus 7 is not yet available in Europe, and so we have no idea of ??the euro prices, we can all make by comparing the dollar prices a nice comparison.

So does the 16GB Wifi version of the dollar Nexus 229 versus $ 329 for the iPad Mini and you pay $ 269 for the 32GB Nexus (again with Wifi) versus $ 429 for the same version of the Apple mini-tablet. The iPad Mini is or again available in a 64 GB version.

The price difference between the new 4G version of the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini is even greater, but in this case less relevant. It is not yet clear whether the Nexus with mobile internet or in the phone shop will come here and the U.S. price plan is not comparable to local providers.

Wireless Connectivity
Both tablets support Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11n WiFi (dual band), but the Google Nexus 7 has a slight advantage with support for NFC, which plays a role in the payment service Google Wallet.

Camera
The iPad Mini had had both the front and rear camera, while the first Nexus 7 only one copy on the front. With the new version Asus makes good this deficiency.

OS and apps
The iPad Mini is still running on iOS 6, but will fall to make iOS 7, the new mobile operating system that the larger iPads will move launch. Because this new version is not yet finished, it is difficult to make a final judgment on them.

Conclusion
If we look at it on paper, the new Google Nexus 7 on almost all fronts a strong lead. But specifications alone do not tell the whole story. First, we test the Nexus 7 thoroughly before we make a final judgment. Apple will also soon come up with a new small iPad to come, though it is difficult to predict when this will happen.
