Do you have your eyes set on Apple’s iPad Mini but you just can’t squeeze it in your budget? Don’t worry, Chinese tablet manufacturers have your back.

Here is the GooPad Mini 2, a perfect replica of the original Apple shrunken slate. So if you were hoping to grab a Retina Display kind of device, this is not for you, but hear us out.

The tablet has perfectly copied the design of the iPad Mini, but let’s see what users can expect to find under the hood.

First, the GooPad Mini 2 features a 7.85-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. The producing company has added a MediaTek 1.5GHz quad-core chip coupled with 1GB of RAM. The photography department has not been neglected, as we have a 5MP rear camera plus a 2MP frontal one.

On top of that, the slate boasts Wi-Fi, 3G capabilities and should provide a sensible life span thanks to its 4,100 mAh battery. Like any respectable budget no-name slate these days, the GooPad Mini 2 enables voice calling.

The iPad mini clone can be purchased online via OrientDeal for $197 / €146 a pop and is available in Silver and White.
