All those devices specially the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy
Note 2 have disturbed the Apple’s share in the smartphone market and
still going on with the same pace. On the other hand, first addition of
Surface tablets, Surface Pro, failed to effect the Apple’s market as
Galaxy Note 2 did.
But this time Microsoft have decided to bring a similar device which
will go against Google Nexus and iPad mini 2 at the same time.
Here are some features of upcoming devices iPad mini 2 and Surface Mini:
Screen size should be ideal that it won’t be too small same as smart
phone size or not too big that it loss the identity of mini size.
Surface Mini is likely to come with 7.5 inch screen with 1400 X 1050
display resolution; meanwhile, iPad mini 2 might be coming with 7.9 inch
but upgraded to Retina display, resolution of 2048 X 1536.

Processor plays a vital role in the success of the device. According to
rumor, the Surface Mini is expected to have new Intel chip. On the other
hand Apple’s iPad mini 2 will likely to come with A7 chip.
As far as the operating system is concerned, Surface Mini will be coming
with an upgraded version Window Blue 8.1. Apple have already announced
to upgrade its current operating system iOS 6 to iOS 7, so we will see
the iPad mini 2 with the same.
The expected price of Surface mini will starts from £260 while iPad Mini
2 to cost exactly the same as the iPad Mini.
A tech went onto say “That means for the Wi-Fi models, £269 for the 16GB
version, £349 for the 32GB version and £429 for the 64GB version. We
correctly guessed the price of the 128GB iPad 4, so if the iPad Mini
follows the same pricing structure, a 128GB version would cost £509.
Expect to pay £100 more for the equivalent Wi-Fi + Cellular model.”
