New Nexus 7 vs iPad mini | Pocketnow

The iPad mini is easily one of the more popular tablets around. Its compact nature and broad ecosystem make it an attractive tablet for many. Google's Nexus 7 last year was also a great buy. It was an ultra affordable tablet with a decent list of specifications.

But this year, Google and ASUS stepped up their game. How does this year's Nexus 7 fare against the iPad mini? Watch this comparison to find out!

New Nexus 7 vs iPad mini | Pocketnow

I really hope the Nexus 7 begins to click with mainstream consumers and not just android/nexus nuts. Google is trying really hard to change the game in mobile tech by offering great products for MORE than reasonable prices, and if consumers start to catch on, it will really change the mobile space for the better.

Awesome review. No bullshit. No off topic rambling. Straight to the point. Told me everything I wanted to know about these two devices. Now I feel like I can make an informed purchase. Thank you.

who cares which one is better. Both are amazing devices.

Great review-  Thanks. Wish you had compared the new nexus 7 with the iPad mini w/retina display though.

"ipad is like stuffed dinner plate in ur pants" @

I liked your review.

I bit on the new Nexus 7 immediately, got the 16GB model and Staples $30 dollar tablet deal and got the new Nexus 7 16GB for only $199

and I'm loving it.

I only have my Playbook tablet as the other 7" tablet to compare it to and the Nexus mops the floor with it.

I like the build and feel of the iPad mini, but I'm so bored and tired of their iOS. So for a small tablet I've got to go with the Nexus 7. Its fantastic.

The text on screen is razor sharp. Perfect for books. The colors are vibrant and rich. Perfect for comics, web browsing, and photos. Plus its a super handy size for travel.

I have an iPad Air which I like when I want something bigger, but my goto tablet is the N7.

nexus7 2013 is still the best 7" tablet in 2016!

I have both the new and old N7, the new 4.3 update makes the Old N7 very fast and snappy again. Besides the rear camera, you wont notice a huge difference between the two. Save your money and keep your old N7 until next year. Try playing with some custom roms/kernels instead to customize it how you like it.

great review, , , i own the nexus 7 [2nd model] and really like it.

A big thumb's up for the new Nexus 7 !!
Great comparison letting the viewer make his own opinion about both tablets.

"I pad mini looks like you stuck a dinner plate in your pants" lol

[garynorth]

Just the right detail and delivery I was looking for in a review. No brainer as far as the choice of tablet for me.

[TenthSet]

At first I thought this video was biased... but then i realized that ipad mini just sucked next to the nexus...

[TRYmiller]

I've gone through many android devices and many iPhones. Currently I am using the iPhone 5S and the iPad mini and I love them. Apple products are just so cohesive. Apple makes products at and amazing quality level and are great at spreading updates throughout all devices old and new unlike android.

Im used to sticking dinner plates in my pants so it wont feel that bad in my pocket.
