Chinese website took a few minutes to compare the
Android to the Apple . Here’s what they noted after a quick once over. The first picture shows both the and the imitation side by side, but which is which? Knowing that the has a 4:3 ratio and the is 16:9 it’s easy to figure out the imitation is located below the real
iPad, without that knowledge though it really would be difficult to distinguish the two. Taking a closer look at the screens we can see one of the devices is much brighter and clearer than the other, again due to our knowledge of both devices (and the fact the says ‘iPad’) it’s easy to see that the closest to us is the . The reason for the much clearer text and brighter colours is the resolution.
The iPad’s
screen is 1024x768 where as the aPad’s is only 1024x600.
Another big difference between the two is the material used for the chassis.
The
iPad uses
alloy where as the
aPad is
plastic, meaning the
iPad is going to be much stiffer and more durable. We would also expect the
iPad to weigh more due to the alloy, but they both weigh in at 680 grams! The
iPad is also thinner at 13.4mm, the
aPad is 15mm.
We hope to get our hands on an
aPad within the next few months for a full in depth review.
