ipad mini 1st gen vs nexus 7 2013

[eimis993]

So ,I just ordered nexus 7 2013.
Thanks guys for helping to decide

So after using my nexus 7 2013 for some time Im kind of happy that I didn't bought iPad mini 1st gen. Main reason of course is the screen, which is really good. Also I like the back of nexus, I know that its not as premium as iPad but I like that it doesn't scratch as easily as iPad back. What I don't like is battery life. Im getting between 5-6h of battery life at medium brightness at medium to heavy usage, but I have heard that this is android 4.4.2 bug, so hopefully they will fix this.

The N7 is a wonderful device. I think that they are announcing the next iteration soon though.

I have and use both. For gaming purposes, I rooted the N7 and use my wireless ps3 controller to play games

Its funny when you play Modern Combat online versus, you can immediately tell who is trying to play with a touchscreen.

Exactly. Anytime I see people swiping and tapping on the glass, trying to play games like this, I cringe.

I'm glad Apple finally got off their asses and are including gaming controllers now. There is only about 5 games that can use a controller but it should expand quickly. I'll probably stop using Android tablets once there are a few more games available.
