The Apple iPad Mini is a bestselling 2013 7-inch tablet that received positive reviews for a gorgeous high-resolution retina display, a blazing fast A7 processor, a storage upgrade option up to 128GB, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, great battery life and a compact design.  Some reviewers felt the base price to be very expensive relative to the competition and wanted the Mini to come with a touch ID fingerprint sensor like on the iPhone 5s. For buyers who need tablet just for e-books, web browsing and video playbacks, there are plenty of other cheaper tablets but  for those who want more in terms of power, performance and stunning visuals, the iPad Mini is a great tablet. If video editing is primary use, we recommend the 9-inch iPad Air which offers similar performance and features at a slightly higher price.

The Huawei MediaPad X2 7.0 is 7-inch Android tablet that was launched by telecommunications giant Huawei in May, 2015.

Users were very happy with the bright, beautiful Full-HD display, the swift performance, delightful cameras and SIM capabilities. Critics had nothing to say regarding the 5000mAh battery, but they did highlight the overly intrusive Huawei Emotion UI overlay as a downside. Nonetheless, the Huawei MediaPad X2 7.0 is a stellar tablet for customers looking for a premium device that is far from the usual Samsung Galaxies or iPads.
