iPad mini 2

Apple delivers exactly what everyone wanted

Great screen ; Same premium design ; Good battery life

More expensive than the competition ; Lack of Touch ID

A minor gripe is that the speaker drivers sit next to each other at the bottom of the mini. This makes the stereo effect less pronounced than if there was one at the bottom and one at the top, as is the case with the Nexus 7. Still, the sound that...

iPad mini 2 review

A great tablet that still costs a little too much

Amazing screen ; Cutting edge CPU ; Brilliant design

Similar-spec rivals are much cheaper ; 16GB too low storage

The iPad mini 2 is flawless in so many ways. From a rich app catalog to the best design on the market, the mini 2's only real downfall is its price. If your pockets are deep you'll simply love it.

Apple iPad Mini review

Beautiful build quality ; Fantastic feel ; Great screen ; Great with video ; Entertaining with music ; Easy to use

Pricey ; No expandable memory ; Cable and cover accessories all add up

You have to pay a premium, but the iPad Mini feels and performs as it should

Apple iPad Mini 2 with Retina display

This is an absolutely superb tablet that shows its rivals how it's done – but it comes at a price

Stunning screen ; Fast performance ; Premium design ; Fantastic app selection

Expensive

That said, with this screen and performance, not to mention the app advantage over Android rivals, it’s pretty hard to fault the iPad Mini. It’s the best sub-8in tablet on the market.

iPad mini with Retina display review

The iPad mini Retina is here and it clears up one of the biggest complaints about the original iPad mini: the screen. With the original it wasn't as good as the iPad or the iPhone, but with the Retina display now on board the iPad mini 2 looks to be an...

Portable, powerful, great screen, as a tablet should be

No Touch ID, not 802.11ac, no microSD

The iPad mini with Retina display bests the efforts of the original mini in virtually every department - and where it doesn't offer an outright improvement it sticks with what worked before.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 vs iPad mini 2

Samsung today unveiled its Galaxy Tab S 8.4, a compact Android 4.4 KitKat tablet with an 8.4in screen. Here we compare the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and key rival the Apple iPad mini 2 (aka Apple iPad mini with Retina display) to find out whether Apple...

It's difficult to decide which tablet is best without having both devices in our lab for thorough testing. I am an Android user, and would take the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4's larger, higher-resolution screen, more compact size and weight, potentially...

Video: Apple iPad mini 2 - a Retina screen arrives on the littlest iPad

Second, the internals have been overhauled and brought bang up to date. Essentially, this is an iPad Air, reviewed, with an 8-inch screen. It's everything the original iPad mini should have been.
