Yesterday, Microsoft began to send the invitations of what will be his next tablet, the Surface Mini, a device destined to inspire the other manufacturers of the platform in future products. So far, we know little about the characteristics of the team, however, rumors begin to flow in abundance. We will try to lay a more or less reliable basis about what to expect for the event on the 20th.
The information that had leaks in lmos until now indicated that the surface mini would count with very similar hardware than the Surface 2, but with a size slightly larger than the 8 inches. However, several important media have received leaks in the last hours that try to specify a little more the main features of the team. We advance you that among them there are a few surprises.
The Surface mini will change Nvidia for Qualcomm
La Surface 2 It has SoC Tegra 4, displaying brutal graphic processing, however, it seems that for the compact model, the Redmond ones chose to change the manufacturer and mount one of the Snapdragon Qualcomm (possibly 800), thanks to which they will be able to offer stronger compatibility with 4G networks.
This component also gives us the confirmation that the Surface mini will work with RT Windows.
A different design, with the iPad mini format screen?
We must warn you to take all these data with due caution. We have collected them from Ubergizmo, and some seem more plausible than others. According to this source, the screen of the Surface mini would have 4 format: 3, like the iPad mini, with a resolution 1440 × 1080.
The appearance of the equipment, therefore, would be different from that of previous Microsoft tablets. It has also been said, in this sense, that the company will not be able to tab-bracket on the back of your new gear (an extra accessory will be required), while it will offer specific optimization for stylus.
