we've already compared the issues fonepad with the google nexus 7 but the comparison just won't stop because this is PocketNow i'm anton denied and you're watching a sous film pad vs. apple ipad mini video comparison let's go check it out these two tablets couldn't be any more different apple has brought a brand new designed to the ipad mini different to the one on the ipad and more iPhone 5 ish it is a tablet that many have thought would never come out of Apple's design labs and factories but it did and it looks awesome and feels exceptional in the hand the phone pad is made by a sous the company had also made the Google Nexus 7 we've already compared the two Android power tablets in a previous video the phone pad is more conservative on the design and but it features something that the iPad Mini doesn't have or the majority of tablets for that matter an earpiece you can lift it up to your head and talk like you would on any regular smartphone then there's another fundamental difference platform ecosystem size and app selection let's compare these two and take a close look at hardware performance and user experience let's start off with hardware the phone pad packs a 7 inch screen with 800 by 1280 resolution and the PPI rating of 260 it is powered by an Intel Atom z24 20 processor clocked at 1.2 gigahertz with only a single core backed up by one gig of ram there are 8 and 16 gigabyte storage options and some regions will also see the tablet ship with a 3.1 megapixel main shooter on the back in addition to the 1.2 megapixel webcam of course there are the usual suspects like Bluetooth Wi-Fi and GPS granted NFC is not present the battery is rated at 16 watt hour meaning 4270 milliamp hours platform of choice Android version out of the box 4.1.2 the iPad Mini is not a powerhouse either beyond the fact that iOS devices just like Windows phones need less power to deliver a solid performance and user experience the screen on the iPad Mini is larger at 7.9 inches with a resolution of 768 by 1024 pixels and 162 PPI pixel density which is not earth-shattering at all the CPU of choice is dated back in the iPad to date an Apple a5 chip which is dual-core and clocked at one gigahertz there are 512 Meg's of RAM but storage options include 16 32 and 64 gigabyte flavors the webcam on the front is a 1.2 megapixel unit like on the phone bed but the back features a 5 megapixel main shooter without flash the usual suspects include Wi-Fi Bluetooth GPS and no NFC as well as a 16 point 3 watt hour battery meaning four thousand three hundred and eighty-one milliamp hours at 3.72 volts platform of choice iOS version out of the box always the latest currently six that 1.1 however the phone pad has a physical earpiece up top so that you can make or take calls just like with a regular smartphone yes a seven-inch one while the iPad Mini also has a cellular version even 4G LTE support it lacks the earpiece build quality on both devices is solid however you're instantly shocked by how lightweight and thin the iPad Mini is at 312 grams and seven point two millimeters it is 28 grams lighter and three point two millimeters thinner than the film pad which means a lot the bezel on the iPad Mini is also slimmer and iOS has a neat way of detecting and ignoring accidental touches the iPad Mini speaks premium that's not to say the phone pad feels cheap not at all especially that the material on the back has been upgraded we now have the call to the touch aluminum instead of the sturdy feeling plastic on the Nexus 7 that and the earpiece aside we are seeing a nexus 7 twin let's take a look at performance we're comparing apples to androids here different ecosystems different platforms different apps still the easier experience can only be one good or bad now first things first it takes the iPad Mini 21 seconds to boot up compared to that the phone pad is a tad lazier with its 37 second boot up time taking 16 seconds longer for everything else keep this in mind one we are comparing different platforms and 2 we're talking dual core versus single core here despite Intel's Android optimization of its Atom processor day to day usage results are rather interesting and intriguing the film pad puts up a great fight against the iPad Mini and even manages to beat it in many cases there's no clear winner here we have to call it a tie when it comes to launching applications like face Twitter Google+ Foursquare email calendar Spotify or the browser if you choose chrome over the alternative Android browser offered on the phone pad the iPad Mini Safari performance will school the assist ablet almost every time but that's not the tablets fault it's grown however running the Android browser again Safari results once again in a tie page load times scrolling and even text rendering is identical to our know stopwatch eyes if the performance is a tie if single and separate segments are being compared the iPad Mini and iOS offers a more fluid overall system-wide performance windows appear more fluidly menus and animations don't stutter and the entire tablet's performance is perceived as never lagging the phone pad does a decent job but occasionally stutters when jumping to the home screen or scrolling lists like the settings where it occasionally is choppy next up this place both screens are IPS LCD s but the iPad Mini is much much brighter than the display on the phone bed in terms of pixel density not only the iPad Mini has a lower resolution but it also has a larger screen by almost an inch if you hate seeing pixels regardless of how long or short your arm is the phone past 216 PPI should be your choice over the iPad minis 162 PPI resolution and pixel density aside the winner here is clearly the Apple tablet brightness contrast ratio color reproduction color saturation and even black levels are much better than on the issues felt bed still the soos allows you to cheat with an ace up its leave the bundle the su splendid app where you can tweak color temperature hue saturation and turn vivid mode on or off allowing you to have the best experience tailored to your eyes and like it outdoor visibility to goes to the iPad Mini in terms of software and user experience we're going to ask the eternal question iOS or Android luckily we're not comparing phones where the answer would have been much easier iOS is old whether that's good or a bad thing is completely up to you however the lack of widgets and the eternal list of icons becomes quickly boring Android on the other hand is made for customization and widgets allow you to really personalize your device watch out though all those widgets will shorten your battery life and sometimes if your processor isn't fast enough like on the phone pad could take up precious resources there's nothing aside from specific OS features you can do on the iPad Mini that you cannot do on the phone pad and vice versa so at the end of the day it all comes down to the good old cliche Apple's iTunes App Store simply has a broader tablet oriented app selection of course Android is catching up quickly and most of the apps you already use on a daily basis probably have a tablet version already but the iPad apps just look more refined and fine-tuned if we stop here in this particular setup iOS is the clear choice but with Android you can always route and flash and endlessly improve your tablet surely you can also jailbreak your iPad but if customization and hacking is your playground get the felt bad at the end of the day if you need to have an earpiece on your tablet so that you can leave your phone at home stop right now and go get the phone bed it's a no-brainer if that doesn't really interest you then you should probably take into consideration that the phone pad is cheaper our particular 16 gigabyte model set us back 333 dollars versus the for $59 or euros Apple asks for the cellular enabled iPad Mini if you want to go Wi-Fi only then there's absolutely no reason for you to buy the phone pad the Nexus 7 is right there and it's cheap that's gonna do it for today everybody thank you very much for watching stay glued
