Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | No |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Fingerprint (front-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, compass, barometer |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes, with stereo speakers |
| Audio Technology | Stereo speakers |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | Li-Ion 5124 mAh, non-removable (19.1 Wh) |
| Battery Life | 10 hours |
| Charging | Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 8 MP |
| Front Camera | 7 MP |
| Video | 1080p |
| Camera Features | HDR, Exposure control, Auto image stabilization |
| Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration) | No |
Connectivity
| Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices. | 5.0 |
| Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world. | 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac |

I think The Verge really enjoyed using the new iPad mini. They found it to be a refreshing change from increasingly large phones and tablets. I appreciated the iPad mini's small but powerful design. I liked reading on the mini's 7.9-inch screen more than on my bigger iPads. I also felt the iPad mini was less disruptive to use in meetings than a phone or laptop. - The Verge |

I felt conflicted about using the new iPad mini. On one hand, it looked nearly identical to the 2012 original. The large bezels felt very dated compared to modern smartphones. However, the upgraded display and Apple Pencil support made for a good viewing and writing experience. I appreciated the boost in performance from the A12 chip as well. The iPad mini handled multitasking and games with no issues. Battery life met Apple's 10 hour claim too. - Engadget |

I enjoyed using the compact tablet for reading, videos, and more. The small size allows comfortable one-handed use. While cheaper tablets like the Amazon Kindle Fire offer better value, they lack the extensive app support of iPads. I think the iPad mini still provides the best premium small tablet experience. - Tom - The Tech Chap |

Pros: - Powerful A12 processor provides fast performance - Compact and portable 7.9-inch size - Apple Pencil and tablet app support Affordable $399 starting price Cons: - Outdated design with thick bezels - Lacks newer features like USB-C port - Only supports 1st gen Apple Pencil |
After a long four year wait, Apple has finally released an updated version of its beloved small tablet, the iPad mini. On the inside it packs a serious punch thanks to modern components like Apple's powerful A12 Bionic processor.
Design with a Modern Twist
Retaining its iconic 7.9-inch form factor, the new iPad mini offers lightning quick speeds and long battery life squeezed into a highly portable design.
The iPad Mini's internal upgrades but disappointment in the unchanged external design. The large bezels were considered dated, but the compact size provided a comfortable one-handed usage experience.
According to Apple, you can expect the same roughly 10 hours of battery life for surfing the web or watching videos as you’ll find on larger and pricier iPads.
Performance in Practical Use
The iPad mini sports a Retina display which stays fairly bright at 500 nits and supports features like True Tone for comfortable viewing in varied lighting.
The screen also works smoothly with the Apple Pencil for sketching or handwritten notes, although the mini only supports the 1st generation stylus rather than the newer magnetic Pencil.
A12 Chip and Notable Features
Despite familiar thick bezels above and below the display, the iPad mini 2019 brings plenty of updates like FaceTime HD cameras, stereo speakers, Apple Pencil support, and compatibility with Bluetooth 5.0 accessories.
It runs the full range of iPadOS apps and can even handle immersive AR experiences thanks to onboard machine learning capabilities provided by the A12 Bionic chip.
The significant internal upgrades of the iPad Mini, including the fast A12 processor and Apple Pencil support. However, disappointment was expressed regarding the external design resembling the 2012 original, deemed dated compared to contemporary devices.
The Apple iPad Mini (2019) garnered positive reviews for its powerful A12 processor, compact size, Apple Pencil support, and high performance.
Despite some criticism for the lack of external design innovation, the iPad Mini's affordability and premium features make it a compelling option for users in search of a top-notch small tablet.
