Powerful portable mini tablet
I traded in my iPad mini 5th gen for this 6th gen. The primary reason was that I had run out of memory on any 64Gb mini tab. So, I elected for the 256GB wifi and cellular unlocked tab. It *might* been one of the best tech purchases I've ever made (before I purchase the Asus ROG Ally that is)! It's portable, powerful, useful and so convenient to use. Quite frankly I use it just as much as I use my phone if not more! The main differences between the 5th and 6th gen mini tablets is exterior colors, and the impressive chip upgrade between the 5th gen and 6th gen. The functionality and usability is awesome for up keeping email, reading, playing games, photos, social media or just entertainment on any level. I do have a small online business and I can run literally everything for my business from this mini powerful tablet with ease! The wifi and cellular combo keeps this tablet fully connected 24/7 as long as you're within range of cellular or wifi connection of course! The chip is impressive! It's fast! It offers fluid usage whether I'm streaming, gaming, reading, googling, or scrolling. The graphics are amazing and crystal clear. It loads webpages, apps and games impressively quickly. I play a few mobile games and they work beautifully on this table, SWGOH, Pokemon, Destiny companion, magic and COD. All of which play like butter! It’s even compatible with the Razor backbone! It does function okay for some xbox cloud games but not all. The battery life is outstanding! I'm 7 months in on this tablet and it's just as strong as the day I got it. Typically, I use my tablet for roughly 5 hours a day at minimum and on average I have to recharge every other day. One charge last me anywhere from 2 -3 days depending on my usage. It takes a little over an hour to charge from 5% to 100% with my USB C cable. The portability is outstanding! It fits in literally all my bags (cross body, mini backpack, tote, and even my large winter coat pocket lol) without getting in the way, taking up too much space or even adding much weight. It's light weight and easy hold even one handed. there's still a large variety of cases available to accommodate all needs. I do love that to accommodates the magnetic portfolio style case when when I'm traveling with it but, the plastic silicone covers are useful and easier to hold when lounging around the house and using my tablet all day. The camera is average. It does the trick and offers excellent high quality pictures. It doesn't replace my phone's camera but it's worth mentioning that it's a quality camera that does the trick when I need to snap a quick candid photo (or even photos for my reviews). The memory is AMAZING! I highly recommend going with a memory option of anything ABOVE 64GB. The 64 Gb is simply too small and fills up quickly with updates and downloads. Lastly, the purple color is one of my favorite features but it allows me to customize the tablet to my style even on an exterior level that most tablets don't. I wish there were this many color options for the Apple pro max phones. All in all, I have come around to prefer this iPad mini 6th gen over my iPad Pro 12.9 in and arguably sometimes my phone! I could not be happier or more impressed with his iPad mini and I literally could not recommend it more! (Last photo shows iPad mini 6th gen next to my iPhone 14 Pro Max)
