Its almost been out for 6 months and the n7 is still the 7" champ. My n7 is the best $200 I've spent on a gadger, ever.

Btw lol at the ipad minis 162ppi. Nice try apple.

Not only ppi, but overall resolution, and 4x3 ratio. Introductory Apple specs, you'll see the rest in version 2.

Apple Mini is a first gen product -- it took Apple 3 tries to get retina display on the iPad. This should be common knowledge (for the rest of us).

All the news surrounding the Apple Mini make it clear it would NOT have retina display since it's a first generation product. Apple and it's OEMs need to go through a learning curve.

Then iPad Mini, then Kindle Fire.
I just don't like the Fire. Imo, the skin on it makes it worse than iOS.

54. prakesh posted on 23 Oct 2012, 17:03 0 0

of course nexus7,

ipad mini is just ips lcd lower ppi with a high price

oh cmmon apple u must be kidding? wheres your retina display?

67. saiki4116 posted on 24 Oct 2012, 01:41 0 0

if they make high res display...developers wiil have a new headache...they already headache for updating their apps to iphone5...The thing is Apple will be effected in Long Term,if they didnt adopt responsive design like Android...How long they can double the resolution and avoid that longstanding problem...

62. networkdood posted on 23 Oct 2012, 21:15 0 0

had it for a while - ipad mini would be a waste of money...

13. krysis posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:36 4 2

Sarcasm, right? please? i'm just assuming your making fun of the display, since you said 7" when it's 7.9"... right?

24. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:42 2 0

so wouldnt it be considered more of an 8 inch tablet?

30. RicNP posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:50 1 0

I really like that aspect ratio and when I say aspect ratio I mean it literally. I know the size of the screen is 7.9" but that's not the point I'm trying to make.

In other words, I wish the Nexus 7 screen was a bit wider.

9. plgladio posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:33 6 1

You looking for a tablet with camera? See other features you have in Nexus..

14. syedzain posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:37 1 13

yes u are right...
coz ipad mini has bluetooth 4.0 , 720p HD front Facing camera, LTE 4G , 16 gb Capacity , Wifi 802.11 a, b, g, n, n 5GHz , 10 hours of battery life, lighter ,,, wow nexus sure is great not having these specs..

20. mas11 posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:42 5 0

Umm the Nexus 7 has a higher resolution screen and NFC all for a much lower price. Not to mention all its other advantages.

The Nexus 7 has Bluetooth, long battery life, and a front facing camera, too. It also has a better display with higher ppi and the A5 can't even compare to the Tegra 3.
Before the A6, I didn't really think Apple did so great in the hardware department. However, they've really stepped up their game recently with the Retina Macbooks, iPhone 5, and iPad 4th gen.
You have to admit though, the Mini is disappointing and doesn't hold a candle to the Nexus 7 in any factor including cost.
Do your research. :)

How about a quad core processor to start with?
What is the point of having all those specs if your processor (your main piece of hardware lacking firepower) is ancient history..

You don't need to see it with your eyes. It has a PPI of 162. Anything below 200 is going to look pixelated let alone 162.

I was really worried when Google released 8 GB, but after seeing one of my friend's tab, he just plugged a 16GB pendrive with cable and copied files from and to.
I was like wow, but in my iPad 2 I suffer a lot, I just use for reading email, playing games ah yes taking photos and keeping with that only.. :(

I'm loving my n7 so far nearly everything I plugged into it works out of the box (USB keyboard mouse games etc) I'm waiting for 4.2 before I root it and get USB storage on

Couldn't agree more. Why take a pic with your tablet and look stupid when you likely have a phone with a better camera

16. pkiran1996 posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:39 1 0

The extra $129 you pay for an iPad Mini are essential for a camera...which I'm sure the whole of PhoneArena including fanboys agree that its not worth that much. And let's not forget that it's not even good quality for such a big price jump.

18. syedzain posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:41 0 5

So u mean if u dont have Camera there isnt a big deal, faster wifi- NO big deal , LTE - No big Deal ,
bluetooth 4.0 -No big deal 16 Gb capacity-No big Deal

38. Zero0 posted on 23 Oct 2012, 15:04 3 0

Camera - Since I am advanced enough to own a tablet device, but not a mobile device, it is imperative to own a camera-wielding tablet. /sarcasm

Faster Wi-Fi - Tell me again, how many people have 5GHz routers?

LTE - You pay a premium.

Bluetooth 4.0 - NFC. 'Nuff said.

16GB - You missed part of Google's announcement. Understandable, as it was only 4 months ago. $250 for a 16GB Nexus 7.

Comparing entry level models separated by a $130 margin is not really fair. Especially when you throw in features of higher priced iPad models (LTE).

The LTE isn't included at the 329 price. You should mention that so you don't mislead someone to believe the Ipad mini is good value

What do you think? !!!!!
Camera and faster wifi is nothing against quad core Cortex A9 clocked at 1.3 GHrz. They are nothing against better screen and bigger battery. again nexus7 has 1 GB of ram and iPad mini only has 512 MB. Be lucky about iPad mini.
And at the final step, nexus7 is 100$ cheaper.
Only an idiot buys iPad mini instead of nexus7!!!!

Camera: lets see i rather not look retard trying to take a picture / video with a tablet.

Faster wifi: show me anywhere you use wifi that runs faster than 50+mbps dataspeeds so moot point.

LTE: as for LTE use your brain not your wallet, I have a LTE android phone that i can use as a wifi hotspot (droid razr maxx + foxfi) with unlimited data. so for those of us that are lucky enough to still be on a good plan (verizon unlimited currently at 48gb of data used this month) and on that note it's crazy that providers want to charge per data because it's really not costing them more than a few cents for power usage.

Bluetooth 4.0: might save you a little bit on battery life if you can find any BT4.0 devices to use with it which are kinda limited,

Storage: the 16gb version of the nexus will now be $200 and the 32gb version will be $250 so even the 32gb is still cheaper.

What is the use of bluetooth if you can't transfer files to another device considering no nfc
Yeah its got faster WiFi but what about double the CPU power and Android
I have a ipod touch(Jailbroken) and a GS3(Rooted)
Believe me iOS is a joke.

Why do you need a rear camera on a tablet... Do you want to be like this girls?

When I see those people contorting their bodies to make a photo with a tablet... it's just ridiculous. It's like "Hey, look! I have this huge thing that can make a crappy photo!" Ridiculous! Just ridiculous...

36. blingblingthing posted on 23 Oct 2012, 15:01 1 0

I don't mind the cam trade off. A tablet will not replace the need for having a phone with me.

23. protozeloz posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:42 1 0

It's selling on best buy for the same price as the 16GB as rumors said Google will kill the 8GB version and 16GB will cost 200 and 32GB 250 so that's really impressive

58. bkb01 posted on 23 Oct 2012, 20:12 0 0

yes but apparently its not an issue since i believe the nexus 7 supports usbtogo which can literally read card readers, flash drives etc. more memory. youll be bringing a tablet might as well carry extra memory like hard drives etc.

39. Zero0 posted on 23 Oct 2012, 15:05 1 0

The Nexus has a front-facing camera. That's sufficient for video chatting.

40. wojey posted on 23 Oct 2012, 15:12 0 0

ok but my point is that camera on a tablet is actually useful when most people here are saying that they're useless

56. Twashbush posted on 23 Oct 2012, 19:52 0 0

Again As Zero stated the nexus does have a front facing camera for video chatting but no rear camera. as it much simpler to use your phone as a camera than an tablet, even the 7 inchers are kinda big and you look like a retard trying to use them as a point and shot camera / video device.
