The screen size of Dell’s Mini 5 is similar to a small kindle at 90 percent larger than smartphones with 3.5-inch screens. People may mess up it between a phone device and a kindle. It can be used as a reader and also a large Android phone device. With two cameras, it can be used as video conferencing as well as small enough to be used as a camera.

If we talk about the iPad, it is too big to keep in your pocket with 10-inch screen. Yes, it can easily replace a kindle, but for this two factors are to be considered. First, a data plan and second, a power source to make it last to the duration which Kindle does. Not to forget, Kindle also comes with free lifetime data.

Dell Mini 5 has one biggest advantage over Apple iPad and that is its phone features. Moreover, even if the iPad had a camera, it would have been very big to use it as a camera.

Hence, in short it can be said, if I carry with me a smartphone, a laptop and also a Kindle then Dell Mini 5 is the perfect answer to it. It is similar to big iPhone, but more affordable. Even for many folks, larger screen on an iPhone could be a great help if one does not struggle with some small type.

Analyst feels that to hit the price points, Apple crippled the iPad. Apple can be taken to granted that it can do better with back end, but here, if we talk just hardware to hardware, then Mini 5 has an advantage.

We shall not assume that iPad will fail. The big question is that whether a small product can replace a phone, the name of which is not a kind of embarrassment. Are the name of 5-inch product named Mini or a 10-inch product named iPad is a mistake?
