It’s not easy choosing a new tablet but luckily experts have recently compared the Apple iPad Mini 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to find out which comes out on top and it could help anyone choosing between the two.
It was pointed out that while both of the tablets offer an 8MP camera, there is also a 1.3MP on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and this is in contrast to the 1.2MP of the Apple iPad Mini. The report suggests that owners would get around the same amount of battery life, this was stated as being about 11 hours, even with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 having the larger of the two batteries.
Apple isn’t able to compete in regards to the processor as the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 features the Exynos 1.8GHz and 2GB of RAM while the iPad Mini 2 offers a dual core A5 processor with only 512MB. It was said that for multi-tasking the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 came out ahead as it runs on Jelly Bean 4.1.3, iOS 7 is on the Apple iPad Mini 2.
The report suggested that cost would not be a factor when choosing as both of the tablets have a price tag that is about the same. The Apple iPad Mini 2 is on the shelf for $330 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a price tag of $300.
