14 DAY TRIAL // If you’re still undecided which Chinese iPad mini knock-off might be good enough for you, we’re going to throw in another model for you to judge.
The Window Mini 3G represents a replica of the first-gen Apple shrunken slate, as there’s nothing resembling a Retina Display here. Basically, the iPad mini semblance can be spotted in the design department; but apart from that, there’s not much to hang on to.
Like most budget Chinese devices, the Window Mini 3G sports a 7.78-inch display with an unknown resolution (but we guess the manufacturer would have mentioned it, especially if it was a Retina display).
Apart from that, the iPad mini replica is powered by a Mediatek MT8389 chipset coupled with 1GB of RAM, says Chinese MTKSJ. Further on, we have two cameras available (5MP on the back and 0.3MP front snapper) and 16GB of internal storage. The battery (4,000 mAh) should provide a long enough life for the slate.
The manufacturer also offers a 3G WCDMA modem with the bundle, so users can always stay connected. The slate running Android 4.2.2 ships at the wallet-friendly price of $147 / €107.
