and a good day to you ladies and gentlemen I'm here from Android Authority and today we're gonna be dropping an iPad Mini and a brand new Nexus 7 two of the hottest upcoming tablets this holiday season probably gonna be on everybody's wish list and we're gonna do what we do and we're gonna be dropping them here on the bay of Hong Kong to see which one's more durable let's drop them so you probably remember our iPhone 5 drop test it was done here in the bay of Hong Kong obviously we have the iPad Mini and the Nexus 7 and we're not going to be dropping our tablet you know from our air because this isn't a phone where do people use their tablets they're gonna use them about yay high just like they'd hold a book right which is around four and a half feet so for the purposes of this particular drop test we're gonna be dropping them on their sides we're gonna be dropping on the back we're gonna be dropping them face down now let's see which one fares better in our drop test now it's time for the first part of our drop test where we drop the iPad Mini on its side ready okay let's check it out okay just a little bit of minor aesthetic damage to the exterior bezel here the screen still intact fully functioning yeah other than that we just have a too small little dents here just on the side nothing major all right it's time to drop the Nexus 7 on the side just like we did for the iPad Mini here we go not good guys not good Oh okay so we have some really significant damage to the Nexus 7 it actually did a shatter we have a you know obviously the display cracked in minor regions here and we already see some plastics coming off a really significant dent to the side so it's not looking really good for the Nexus 7 in the first round and here we are for the second part of our drop test the iPad minis held up really well so far the Nexus 7 not so much so we're gonna be dropping it on its back right now let's see how it fares okay now didn't actually fall on this back you know it was a really hard impact to the side here and obviously just like we saw with the s3 because of the thin bezel it just has a really in fracture the whole display itself too smashed is it still working oh yeah after this play still working so that's good but obviously really a lot of significant cracks to the display really really to bad or not alright so here we are with the Nexus 7 it's the second part of the drop test for it the iPad Mini just smashed and shattered up back there let's see how the Nexus 7 does on a rear drop test mmm okay guys some really bad fracturing here the plastics completely chipped off the side of the display the back itself has popped out a little bit yeah it's it's not looking so hard for the Nexus 7 right now and let's just see if it works okay this plate comes on am i able to unlock it okay I'm unable to actually use the touch screen anymore on the Nexus 7 it's really unfortunate but it oh it appears as though it's a completely stopped functioning for the display it does still power up but I'm unable to use it so the Nexus 7 didn't fare very well for that particular drop test at all so here we are the third and final part for our drop test for the iPad Mini it shows us that no tablet is impervious to destruction so we're going to be dropping on its face down now just for the PS the resistance let's see how it fares ready okay it's funny you know it didn't actually drop on its face down it's really hard to control that but as we can see obviously it is still factored the whole display itself but unlike the Nexus 7 the iPad actually does serve does still appear to be working no actual scratches are damaging to the rear but the display is completely fractured and some plastic is actually coming off on the side here so it's the final time for the drop test for the Nexus 7 we dropped all the iPad Mini and everything like that so we're gonna be dropping on its face now from about four and a half feet high obviously the displays already cracked but let's see how it does anyway Nexus 7 face down drop test I'm ready ready okay mmm I'm so sorry baby and your jellybeans goodness alright so as we can see obviously the display is completely fractured there are elements you know glass coming into my hands and stuff yeah as we found out last time it is no longer functioning the back actually popped off on the rear sadly the the Nexus 7 tablet the display doesn't work anymore and it appears to have sustained more damage than the iPad Mini so guys don't drop your Nexus 7 like I did three times so we did it again for you we came to Hong Kong we got a brand new iPad Mini we got a brand new Nexus 7 we dropped him in three different ways now although both are completely destroyed and despite the fact that the iPad Mini actually has a thinner bezel the display is still working whereas the Nexus 7 is completely non-responsive and therefore it can't be used at all so we'll let you be the judge which one do you think held up better in the drop test let us know what you think of our videos let us know how we can make our drop test better and don't forget to subscribe to our Channel - it's dark still Akuma
