  • Looking for a small tablet? Should you buy the iPad Mini 6 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite? Can the Samsung Tab A7 Lite actually compete with the much more expensive iPad Mini 6, or are you just wasting money? In other words, you’d expect the iPad to come out ahead, but is it close enough to where you can save $300 and still get most of what you need?
    Let’s take a look at the size of the two tablets, the design and the options as far as biometric authentication. Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite display hold up to the iPad Mini 6? How do the camera and speakers stack up? What about the keyboard and stylus options?
    And finally, when looking at the Tab A7 Lite and the Air Mini 6 battery life, multitasking and gaming performance - which one comes out on top?

    I think the A7 Lite is an excellent bargain for what you get at that price point. It is nearly 1/3 the cost of the iPad mini.
    That being said, the design choice of putting the usb and headphone jacks close to the edge of the bezel vs. the bezel center is a cost savings decision. By placing the ports on the edge of the bezel they can making the casement thinner without sacrificing structural integrity. Therefore, using less material and saving a few pennies/device.

    I got the iPad Mini 6, it’s brilliant so far. The on-screen keyboards need some re-work. (Too crammed or too big, need an adjustable), text/font scaling can use a re-work as well, but looks great otherwise. Amazing color & sharpness. As an Apple Mac long time user for home, it just makes sense, fits in w/ the echo system.
    I’ve owned Galaxy, primarily the Note Fablets since new, love them, so I’d miss my S-Pen. My note’s felt their sluggish age in 3 yrs but U can still use them OK. 2015 iPad Mini 4 is currently on iOS 15.4.
    Both nice depending on your echo system or needs. I find the iPad Mini 6 better in its class (small form faster) right now. A Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in 8.8” size would be amazing though. I’d buy it. Prolly £1,200

    I like Apple's cameras and over all the way it runs smooth. I just hate that there's always a battery issue after a while, like the battery charges super fast or slow but the battery will die after 1 1/2 hrs. Also the fact that they've purposely slowed down device's to make it's customer's upgrade to a newer product. Samsung on the other hand has been built like a tank but obviously runs a bit slower and the cameras aren't that good. At least in the budget side of things.

      @@danmar007 Used to have the Nexus 2nd generation tablet back in 2014. It lasted me about 5 years until the battery drained in a few hours and it would randomly reboot. I flashed a couple ROMs to it to no avail but proved a very good product nonetheless, it was just past it expiration date.
      I ended up replacing it with a 2018 iPad 9.7 which I still have to this day. Both the Samsung or a 2-3 yr old iPad should do the trick replacing the venerable old Nexus. You'll notice a ton of difference anyway

    I have both too.. samsung tab a7 lite for my mum to watch youtube only n I use ipad mini 6 as my daily driver.. I was looking to buy iphone though as I already have an Android phone, so finally I took ipad mini to get experience of apple os... iPad mini 6 has a newer design , very light weight n with a15 bionic latest chip with lower price than iphone 13 series... so I think this design will remain many years... n it's butterly smooth.. n I'm more than happy 😁😁

      Was looking to get one of these for an all in one daily driver device, the ipad mini is almost there but I has no ear peice on the LTE version and doesn't operate well as a phone while the A7 lite strives in the LTE department it doesn't support spen input and the cameras are a hog load of shit, totally uncomparable to phone cameras or even the ipad mini camera. In that aspect I'd prefer a A7 lite LTE with a better screen and performance as well as spen support or the ipad mini with a better software that doesn't look like a blown up iPhone and better LTE UX with an ear peice to communicate when receiving calls.

The pen 🖋 with a external provider is poor compared to other Samsung products, Android is annoying I feel as well compared to other products as it constantly chugs with multiple tasks running.

    Bought an ipad mini 6- interestingly i found that whatsapp does not have ipad supporting app and one needs to use whatapp's web version which is pretty inefficient to operate and functioning is quite restrictive. I wanted to buy ipad mini as an all-in device for me which should cover messaging, voice chat, reading, studying market, browsing, youtubing, watching movie and etc.Since i dont have any personal phone device ( except for my work phone) whatsapp is kind of important therefore and for that reason i bought the celluar version. Another thing i notice that not all apps support portrait mode. One of the investing app that i frequently use is only open in landscape mode. It is farily uncomfortable for me. I have beem thinking of returning this purchase. Do you have any suggestions or comments?

    iPad Mini 6 is now 499/615 (64/256 GB) euros in Finland, while the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite costs 99 euros (32 GB). So it is very much like comparing apples to oranges... Not a very meaningful comparison, but I guess the A7 Lite is a much better value.

Meanwhile the a7 lite is 174 USD, not even 1/3 of the ipad mini and already has lte network. So yes i just bought the samsung (2 weeks ago) though it doesn't have palm rejection and procreate and honestly i still admire ipad mini. I hope android will make affordable yet powerfull or at least powerfull 8 inch tablets like they used to. Preferably with pen like galaxy note, bcs I'm mobile and love to read, also bigger tablet won't fit in my purse. Thanks so much for the video

    Display, my PC that I can boot to Win 10 Pro to play or boot to a distro that provides me tools to edit content. Camera, I have a dedicated camera that is used to take pictures and I have a GoPro. Performance, neither of these tablets will compare to my PC. RAM, my desktop prior to this one had 32G and my current will be probably get upgraded to 64G. Apps, WinChokes for somethings and distro for the rest and Proton is coming along very well also. Pricing, my GPU costs about the same as a iPad Mini 6. Devices are chosen overall for price, form factor and usage. What is the logic of comparing these two devices when one is designated as Lite? At this moment the "Mini 6" is at ~$670+ USD while the Lite is ~$119. How about those who rip DVD/BD to a microSD, that's a lot of content. Consider that this Lite unit makes for a great starter tablet for young people. They drop it accidently, you're out far less cash than what one would pay for a "Mini 6". Did you review this and realize that you come across as Apple shill? Note that the "Mini 6" is a fine product.
