Top 5 iPad mini 2 Alternatives [December, 2014]
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8-inch | ||||||
If you're not set on Apple's ecosystem and the iPad, take a look at one of the best Android tablets on the market. We've spent a great deal of time with Samsung's brand new Galaxy Tab S and we like it so much that we think it's a top notch competitor for the iPad mini 2. Samsung's new 8.4-inch Galaxy Tab S comes loaded with features including an absolutely gorgeous display, a design that is reminiscent of the Galaxy S5's, a good camera, and the company's Magazine UX which is a vast improvement over previous versions of Samsung's TouchWiz interface. Best of all, it should get Google's new Android 5.0 Lollipop update down the road. It's a little on the expensive side ($347 at Amazon) but it's still worth a look if you or your loved one can stomach Google's Android operating system. It's a viable alternative to Apple's second-gen 7.9-inch slate and one of the best iPad mini 2 alternatives on the market. | ||||||
