Can the Galaxy Note 8.0 with the iPad mini?

Samsung seems determined to go for it iPad mini with your new Galaxy Note 8.0. At least, that is the conclusion that many of the analysts have drawn from the fact that South Koreans have opted for an 8-inch screen instead of a 7-inch, as is usual. Although, surely, a good part of the users of the iPad mini They are regular customers of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, Galaxy Note 8.0 would have good arguments to compete against him, according to the leaks, but exactly how much of an advantage could the new compact tablet get from Samsung to the one Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),?

The operating system, as well as the prestige of the Cupertino devices, is a decisive factor that probably has much more to do with which of the two compact tablets we finally opt for. However, given that due to the size of the device they would be quite equal and that, according to the leaks hardly the Galaxy Note 8.0 exceed in price al iPad mini (U.S. dollar 300 at most for the first, for 329 euros minimum for the second), it may be interesting to see where one and the other would stand in terms of technical specifications. To what extent will the new 8-inch tablet be Samsung a fearsome rival for that of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),?

When it comes to the screen, both would be equal in size, but there would be a few differences. Not only with regard to the resolution, which in the iPad mini is 1028 x 768 and in the Galaxy Note 8.0 de 1280 x 800, but also in the aspect ratio: the screen of the tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has format 4:3and iPad, which optimizes the reading of web pages and books, while that of the new Galaxy Note seems to be 16:10, specially thought for the reproduction of videos. The situation will probably turn in favor of the iPad mini when the new generation with Retina displays arrives, but for now, in image quality, that of the Galaxy Note 8.0 Is superior.

It also appears that there would be a major advantage to the tablet from Samsung when it comes to performance. Meanwhile he iPad mini uses the processor of the iPad 2, A5, with dual core and frequency of 1 GHz, Galaxy Note 8.0 will come with a quad core a 1,6 GHz. There is also a substantial difference in terms of RAM: 512 MB for the Cupertino tablet and 2 GB for the South Koreans.

El iPad mini It could have an advantage in storage capacity and battery, however, two aspects that attract less attention but are essential in everyday use: compared to the first, like the iPad, it is available with up to 64 GB memory, while the Galaxy Note 8.0 it seems that it will only be with 16 GB o 32 GB; with respect to the second, although the filtered data for the Samsung are good (4600mAh), we already know that it is a subject in which the devices of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), are rarely outmatched by those of Android (at least by none of those who have undergone the Lab tests to which we have had access).

Will it be an even fight? Will it be impossible to break the loyalty of the users of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),? Or will it be the Galaxy Note 8.0 a stiff obstacle to the stellar career of the iPad mini?
