Fignatur, I just two and a half years use iPad mini.
Introduced last third has not made anything new, except nobody unnecessary sensor. This right, like a joke.
But the most assessable advantage there was always the optimization and battery.
Given that I have many years of use smartphones Sony, as an option to consider, the plate change.
However, the battery capacity slightly discouraged. And if on your smartphone in general STAMINA mode is appropriate, then the tablet in my background usually everything is always active.
