El Galaxy Note 8.0 arrived many months ago with the quite explicit objective on the part of Samsung to compete against him iPad mini. At that time, as South Koreans never tired of remembering, the Technical specifications of his tablet was ahead in several respects to that of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. But what is the situation now that the iPad mini covering retina displays and processors A7? We show you a comparative between the two tablets to put their respective strengths back into perspective.
Integrated
We do not find great differences in this section since in the aesthetic plane the iPad miniRetina not much has changed compared to the first generation, except in the colors in which it will be sold, as it will also be available in white / silver and black / space gray. The differences of design (reduced side frames for the iPad mini, regular frames and rounded corners for the Galaxy Note 8.0) remain the same as with the first generation, as is the case with the materials (aluminum for tablet Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and plastic for the Samsung).
Dimensions
In the dimensions we do find some more novelties, due to the need to Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to increase its thickness to incorporate the retina display, which makes the difference with the Galaxy Note 8.0 be even more reduced: 7,5 mm against 8,0 mm. The same is true of the weight: the slight increase in weight of the new model is enough to practically match them (331 gr free to 338 grThe size, however, remains the same, so it is still somewhat shorter (20 cm against 21 cm), but almost as wide as the tablet Samsung (13,47 cm against 13,58 cm).
Screen
The screen was one of the points where the Galaxy Note 8.0 more ahead of the first iPad mini But, unsurprisingly, the situation has radically changed with the introduction of retina displays: the resolution of the tablet Samsung (1280 x 800) is now far behind that of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), (2048 x 1536). By having both the same size (8 inches), the comparison of the pixel density of each one yields a most convincing result: PPI 189 against PPI 326.
Performance
Another point where the Galaxy Note 8.0 was clearly imposed on iPad mini it was, without a doubt, performance. Although the experience of using the tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), it was quite satisfactory, it was evident that its processor and RAM data were not positive at all. Now with the new A7 de 64 bits (of which we have already seen the first benchmarks), the iPad miniRetina should be able to overtake Exynos 4412 quad core to 1,6 GHz. Tablet SamsungHowever, it still has more RAM, with 2 GB (for only 1 GB for that of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),).
Operating System
As we always say, preferences regarding the operating system are usually quite subjective, but whatever ours are, it is always interesting to take into account the wide range of applications optimized for tablets What does the App Store, on the one hand, as well as the interesting package of applications optimized for the use of the S Pen that puts at our disposal Samsung, for another.
Storage capacity
Despite the improvements made to the second generation of the iPad mini, Galaxy Note 8.0 continues to have the advantage in this section, because, like the rest of iDevices, the new compact tablet from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), still no card slot micro-SDwhile that of Samsung it does have it. We can buy our iPad miniRetina, yes, even with 128 GB hard disk, but do not forget that the price rises up to about 75% compared to the model of 16 GB.
Battery
Although we do not have the data on the battery capacity of the iPad miniRetina, the truth is that the autonomy tests that we have seen to date show that the estimates of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they are usually quite reliable, so it seems that we can trust that we will have up to 10 hours continuous video playback. In the case of Galaxy Note 8.0, the battery is also quite powerful, with 4600 mAh, although the autonomy is somewhat lower (around 8 hours).
Cameras
This is another of the sections in which there is nothing new, so the tie that existed between the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the first generation of iPad mini is maintained: both have two cameras, one front for video calls, and a more powerful rear, 5 MP and with the ability to record to 720p.
Price
Another radical change can be found in this section, after the months since the launch of the Galaxy Note 8.0 and after the price increase that the iPad miniRetina compared to the first generation: the price difference is now quite favorable to the tablet of Samsung, whose most affordable model (16 GB y Wi-Fi) can already be found in some dealers for up to $300, while the equivalent of iPad miniRetina slope $389.
For a mother, the ipad is recommended… .facebook, surfing, games, etc.
for professional use and to expand the memory more editions that the s pen allows and raw power with 2 gb of ram… .galaxy note 8
the biggest ppi of the ipad does not do better, do not be fooled, the human eye is not able to capture these differences
regards
In power the A7 surpasses the Exynos and the difference between 326ppi is clearly noticeable, there is a lot of difference. The only thing that exceeds the note 8.0 is for the 2gb of ram although ios does not need much ram to have a performance equal to or even greater than Android. We will have to wait for Samsung to release the new version of the note 8.0 as it did with the 10.1
What is the use of having 2gb of ram if the operating system does not need more than 250 ram memory a very low operating system I prefer an ipad mini being 5 times faster than the galxy the design is more beautiful and elegant something that I cannot find in the galaxy very Cholo and nefarious operating system of ios 7 I think it is the one that approaches the most to reach perfection and the galaxy of the galaxy I laughed poor useless operating system cameras is something obvious although they have the same megapixels that of the ipad mini records in 720p and 1080p me Rio de la Galaxy for work is more than what I would imagine I prefer to have Apple's work applications than Microsoft's which does not offer us much mmm I prefer the retina to a simple hd mmm I recommend the ipad mini retina
eat? …… What is that? The way you write determines what you do and the uses you put to things. Galaxi note 8 with real phone, watsapp, line, 64 micro sd, spen, screen division to use two applications at the same time, thousands of free applications …… ..
I bought a note 8 in the 3g version as a faithful android user and free games give it that special flavor that I like, the pen or pencil is super useful when I answer a business call and I have to take notes, or use the calculator, even my girlfriend can write down recipes. I do not deny that my hands itch to try the ipad retina but the paid applications take away that desire, and for my professional use, or entertainment that ranges from watching a FREE movie to downloading games, expanding memory I honestly cannot separate myself from myself note8 I suppose those who have it think the same.
