iPad Mini or Nexus 7?

Khhgf · 12-07-2012

This question is a life or death one at the moment. And don't say iPad because of graal. Give me some good reasons that support each device.

Well that's pretty much all I have to say. The Nexus 7 has the ability to do everything the iPad Mini is, with the added phone functions. If you're okay with not having the big one, or being without having an apple device, I think it's the best choice.

Depends what you want it for though.

I'd say Ipad Mini.

Google repeats over and over how good it is for playing games. They said it was built with gaming in mind, thats what really got my head to turn. Its a beautiful size, looks like lots of fun and It could be nice for a change. Not to mention its 130$ cheaper then the mini. But with the mini, I am familiar with it. I know the apps, how to work it and it says it has lightning speed wifi(Because I do more then game on my devices). I would buy the mini on the spot, despite what google says about the nexus, if it were cheaper.

I have to agree, Apple has a great selection of apps.

Nexus 7, it's the whole reason Apple created the iPad mini was to compete with the Nexus because it's selling so well.
But go ahead and waste your parent's money, you're all just dumb kids that want anything with an Apple logo.

Yeah, this is my own money and I'm not a "dumb kid who wants anything with an apple logo."

You will get more entertainment for your money with a Nexus then. The Android platform has so many options for customizing, they tied the number of apps with Apple during late October, and it's overall just an entirely new and refreshing experience coming off of iOS.

Everything looks the same on iOS whether you're on an iPod touch, iPad, or iPhone (I own or have owned all of these).
The static grid of icons on the homescreen and the usual grey menus gets old fast. If you ever get bored of your Nexus you have thousands of options to completely change your device's appearance and how it functions.
Also people who are wary of Android's "lag" just take a look at the specs on the device and compare them to the iPad mini, plus this is Google's Android...not Samsung or HTC that add their crap to slow down the OS.

I've carried on a bit too far now, hope you make a good choice.

Sounds delicious. Thanks for the information.

To add to what Rexx said, the Android platform has far more potential in terms of homebrew software/hacking than any iDevice. A friend of mine has an HTC I believe, and he can modify the amount of energy and memory his phone uses, give or revoke internet access, use various emulators, and other generally nice things. If you're into hacking and such, as well as more customization options which iDevices can't use without jailbreaking, go with the Nexus 7. Also, YouTube app.
