When iPad was released in the first time, many people only considered it “a big iPod”. However, most of them early recognized that that declaration was wrong because iPad is better.

Now with the appearance of mini iPad, some people only call it “smaller iPad”. In this time, the describtion seems to be more exact because this mini one nearly provides every feature, power and ability of its older brother. However, calling it “only smaller iPad” hides the things that can make mini iPad become unique.

A half size of iPad

Mini iPad has 20-centimeter height and 13.47-centimeter width, it is as 60% as size of the fourth generation’s iPad. And its thickness is even more impressed with 7.2 mm (exactly, it is thickness than iPhone 5) and its weight is 308 grams. Mini iPad is 46% of capacity and 47% of standard iPad. But mini iPad provides 7.9-inch screen (diagonally). In addition, it is 66% of screen area of iPad with big size.

Similar to iPad of the fourth generation, mini iPad has 3 available capacity with black or white: every version is ready to connect with mobile or not. Pay attention that mini is different from other iPad models about using nano-SIM card. And it is similar to iPhone 5 while standard iPad uses old micro-SIM standard.

Call it iPad 2.5 or 3.5

Mini lies in some place that is between iPad 2 and modern big ipad. It uses similar dual core A5 processor and its speed is similar to iPad 2. In addition, it has similar 512MB RAM and screen with similar resolution: 1,024x768 pixels. However, mini has 1.2 MP FaceTime HD camera (has 720 ability) and a 5MP camera behind (has 1080p ability) that is similar to iPad of the fourth generation.

Mini is also compared with the newest big ipad about wireless ability, providing Bluetooth 4.0 efficiency, 802.11n 5GHz Wi-Fi that is improved due to LTE similar chip techonology in iPad of the fourth generation. Therefore, it can be compatible with more telecommuting networks than iPad of the third generation. It includes many 4G types of EE that are available in areas of British. Mini iPad also uses new Lightning connector of Apples instead of 30-battery old connector.

Due to processor, graphic ability and resolution of screen by iPad 2, Mini iPad will provide efficiency that is equal to iPad 2. Actually, in our test, mini displayed similarly to tablet of the second generation of Apple in all of tests except for test for charging web page where mini defeated iPad 2 about 40%. This thing can take place due to Wi-Fi 5GHz improvements.

In test of real world, mini seems to be similar to iPad 2 when it is playing game and watching video. With an exception, we didn’t meet shock or slow state, even with playing games having heavy graphic or mirroring screen of Apple TV by using AirPlay. An exception is Real Racing 2 HD game; however, this thing only takes place when hosting a game that many people play in Party Play mode where our iPad is mirroring both that screen and other players’ screen to Apple TV. In this test, images on TV are shocked; however, games can be played well.

In reality, to some high-ranking games, sometimes mini runs as well as iPad of the third generation about maintaining smooth graphics because Retina model of the thrird generation must display the number of pixel that is 4 times. (iPad of the fourth generation that has better processor and graphic ability can overtake mini about almose every aspects).

Due to ability of Wi-Fi improvement, mini can provide efficiency that is remarkably better than iPad 2 when it is charging web or spreading video- at least if you connected with Wi-Fi 802.11n 5GHz network.
