I’ve been using Apple’s iPad Mini 5 for the last 2 weeks, and I’ve realized that it’s currently the best tablet for gaming,topping every Android tablet and iPad for a few different reasons, which I’ll getinto in a minute.
It’s basically the same iPad as the new iPad Air but in a smaller package. And the display is much improved from theiPad Mini 4, with 500 nits of brightness, True Tone technology and p3 wide-color gamutfor incredible color accuracy for photo editing.
And it now supports the Apple Pencil for taking notes, drawing and more, adding tremendous value compared to the old iPad Mini 4 which was priced at the same $400. You really get so much more value with thenew iPad Mini 5, especially since you’re going from the A8 processor in the Mini 4to the A12 in the mini 5, which comes directly from the iPhone XS and XS Max.
So you’re getting iPhone XS performance for only $400, and if you compare it to the chips you get in the best android tabletsout there, it completely blows them out of the water. In Geekbench 4’s single-core test, the iPadMini 5 basically triples the scores of the Android tablets, and it’s the same storyfor the multi-core test, tripling most of the scores and almost doubling the score ofthe Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, which retailed at $780 but has quickly gone down to $530,still more expensive than the iPad Mini 4. And finally, in Antutu’s graphics benchmark,which is more accurate for gaming performance, the iPad Mini 5 again easily outperforms theAndroid tablets, almost doubling the score of the Galaxy Tab S4. And that’s not the only difference
. Many people know that iPads are more reliable,perform better over time and hold their value much better than Android tablets. Samsung’s $400 Galaxy Tab S5e is also comingsoon and it’s actually packing a similar or slower chip than the Tab S4, so the iPadMini 5 is gonna be the clear winner in terms of performance for 2019. Yes, the iPad Mini 5 is more expensive thansome of these Android tablets, but trust me, you won’t regret spending more. This iPad will give you years of reliableperformance. So the performance is definitely there, buthow is it better than the rest of Apple’s current iPad lineup? For starters, the iPad Mini’s size and weightare perfect for comfortably holding it in your hand, for everything from browsing theweb, watching youtube videos, reading eBooks, taking notes, drawing, taking it on the go,and especially for playing games. The rest of the iPads, even the 2018 budgetiPad, are heavier and much larger, making them less comfortable to hold. For playing games, your hands will get tiredover time, and you don’t really get that with the iPad Mini 5. It basically packs all the iPad you’ll everneed in a perfectly compact form factor. Now you might be asking, why don’t I justget the cheaper 2018 iPad instead? Well, there are quite a few drawbacks withthat iPad, mainly with the display, and I have a detailed video comparing them if youwant to learn more. But there’s also a significant differencein gaming performance
. Take Fortnite for example, the 2018 iPad canonly run the game at 30 frames per second on medium graphics which can get pretty annoying. The iPad Mini 5 runs Fortnite at 60 framesper second on high settings, and it’s incredibly smooth, no noticeable dropped frames, no issueswith reflectivity, and you can play for hours thanks to the small and light form factor,which makes it a lot more portable as well. Now, what about the iPad Air and the 2018iPad Pro? . The 2018 iPad Pro, is definitely a lot morepowerful than the iPad Mini 5, but it’s also twice as expensive. It’s fairly large so it’s not very comfortablefor long gaming sessions, and it’s overkill for basically every game currently availableon the app store. How? Well, in Fortnite, it’s limited to the exactsame graphics settings as the iPad Mini 5, and it runs it just as smooth, with no benefitsat all, even with all of that extra performance. The story’s the same in other games likeAsphalt 9. You get 60 frames per second at maxed outgraphics and it runs perfectly smooth on both the iPad Pro and iPad Mini 5.
I also played some PUBG, and maxed out thegraphics on both iPads, and I mean max everything. HDR since Ultra HDR isn’t available yet,ultra frame rate, anti-aliasing enabled and auto-adjust graphics disabled. The iPad Pro ran everything perfectly, exceptit didn’t use up the whole display, just like on Fortnite, there are black bars allaround that don’t get used. Either way, I managed to score an SSS on myfirst match ever. On the iPad Mini 5, it also ran the game perfectlywith maxed out settings. Everything was super smooth, no issues atall, but it was much more comfortable to hold in the hand.
This time, I scored an SS+, not bad for myfirst two matches. So from those three graphically-demandinggames, we can see that the extra power of the iPad Pro isn’t really being used comparedto the iPad Mini 5, and until we get some new and very graphically-demanding games oniOS, there won’t be any difference in gaming. Of course, you’ll see the difference intasks like video editing, but the average user honestly won’t be able to tell thedifference in performance. And that’s why I’m calling the iPad Mini5 the best gaming tablet in 2019, and for only $400, it’s a really great deal forwhat you get. And it’ll give you years of reliable performancefor all of your iPad needs
. Now, if the display is too small for yourliking, you can pay $100 more for the new iPad Air. It’s basically the same exact iPad, exceptwith a larger 10.5” display and a smart connector for Apple’s smart keyboard. That’s it. We’ll have links to all of the best dealson these iPads,
CONCLUSION
So in my opinion just go for ipad mini 5 if u probably have low budget but if you have a high budget and obvious youir hands are large than buy ipad pro because ipad pro is larger and not easy to handle so now its upto you but ipad is extreme good for pubg mobile
