Google HTC Nexus 9 Tablet vs Apple iPad mini 3: Features, Specs, Price - A Comprehensive Comparison

This October the tablet market is going to heat up with two new tablets, one from legendary Apple and another from the reliable HTC. Apple is about to bring iPad Mini 3 and HTC is about to launch Nexus 9, which is their first tablet since 2011. HTC has joined with Google to manufacture Google Nexus 9.The last version was HTC Flyer, which was not a big hit at all. However, with Nexus 9 HTC is hopeful to deal well with the competitive market.

As both of the products have not been launched yet there is a very small portion of specification available for the devise. Let us have a quick comparison between these two tablets.

Apple's new installment will probably come with the same display size of iPad Mini 2. It had 7.9-inch display with 1536 x 2048 pixels resolution and the pixel density was 312ppi. Apple has not revealed about the new Mini 3 display but there will be Retina Display feature again. After a long break HTC will bring Nexus 9 with display size of 9-inch and it will allow users to experience 2560 x 1600 pixels resolution. Therefore, those who love bigger display might check Nexus 9 as it offers huge display size with decent hardware configuration.

A8 processor will power Apple's iPad Mini 3, which was present in the latest release of iPhone 6 as 64-bit A8 chipset. To provide extreme gaming experience Apple has decided to add a separate M8 graphics emulator with the iPad Mini 3.On the other hand, HTC has not revealed much about the hardware configuration part. It has been indicated that Nexus 9 will come with the updated Tegra K1 processor. The device will contain 3GB of RAM. The primary camera of Nexus 9 will have 8MP sensor whereas Apple's iPad Mini 2 had only 5MP camera. So Apple might come up with better camera sensor this time with iPad Mini 3. Both of the tablets will try to snitch the high-end tablet market. Time will say which takes the crown.
