Ramos launches the Ramos X10
Mini Pad, a
quad-core,
Android running
iPad mini alternative at a
fraction of the price!
It has taken the Chinese
tablet market sometime to launch their own Android running rivals to the popular
iPad mini, and we're glad it has as the
mini Android
tablets which are launching now not only out gun the
iPad mini, put completely annihilate the
Apple tablet for both price and performance.
The latest Android Mini Pad to go on
sale internationally is the Ramos
X10 Mini Pad. Like other
iPad mini inspired tablets, the X10 features a near identical brushed alloy body, easy to hold small form factor and runs Android OS. The difference with the Ramos though is that the screen size is 7.85-inch, exactly the same as the
Apple tablet!
Keeping proportions almost identical to the iPad mini is a wise marketing decision for Ramos, as it means that customers choosing the Android powered X10 Mini Pad will still be able to use the huge range of iPad mini aftermarket cases, covers, sleeves and protective films.
While the Ramos X1 Mini Pad does look like the
Apple iPad mini from the outside, what's on the inside is not even comparable! For example, the X10 features a 1.5Ghz
quad-core CPU and 1GB
RAM where as the
iPad mini only has a 1ghz dual-core processor and 512mb
RAM. As you would expect performance on the Ramos is pretty special and reviews are reporting
benchmarks of 13,729 on Antutu.
Taking a closer look we can also find the X10 has a better, 2 mega-pixel front camera, a micro SD card reader, 16GB of internal memory, micro USB and a micro HDMI port so you can use most of your current Android phone accessories and chargers.
There are a number of resellers offering the Ramos
X10 Mini Pad for
sale now, but Lightake are offering it at just $179.99 with free shipping. Head over to the
