Comparison of Features, Specs, and Price
The Samsung Galaxy Tab family first made its appearance in the year 2011. It was more like a foot in the door that was swung open by iPad, from Apple Inc. Since then, the Tabs kept pouring into the market in various sizes. These Tabs offered various connectivity options along with display features ranging from 7 inches to a massive 10.1 inches. You could also lay your hands on a variety of screen resolution options and processor specifications.
By comparing the Apple and Samsung’s lineups, you would come across two different tactics at play. Apple would prefer relying on the uniqueness of their products, along with content, to acquire interest in their devices. On the other hand, Samsung has been manufacturing their products to cater to all segments of the market and has gained immense success in the process.
The Apple iPad Mini 2, released in the market in the year 2013 has been a raging success in the world of tablets. The tablet computer is designed on the same lines as that of its predecessor, the iPad Mini. As far as Samsung is concerned, the company has been struggling in the tablet arena.
