It has the same screen brightness (500 nits) as the last 3 ipad generations. I think they are plenty bright. Most of the time I set my mini to max 3/4 brightness and it's still kinda overwhelming how bright it gets

I know but 500 nits is weak for you? That's nuts. You must have had LED lights all over the place.

Did you try turning up the brightness? Wearing shades at night while using your iPad could be a factor Big Grin

I've really been enjoying my mini so far; took advantage of this same deal two weeks ago to get a 256gb one. However, I am curious about the (now available) Legion Tab 3 [lenovo.com]. iPads have the better tablet app ecosystem, the Legion has the better screen, decisions decisions.

In either case, if you aren't trying to have a laptop replacement, I think the mini is the best iPad you can get. Great for basic browsing, reading, games, lounging around, and taking with you a surprising amount of places.

I'm not sure about the "app ecosystem" part... Both Samsung and Google make tablets that allow certain apps to go into full-screen mode, and there are certain features exclusive to both iPadOS and Android tabs that make it more of a wash. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the Legion Tab also has that same feature but it is a unique concept for gaming.

OMG .. so am I. Someone on a YT comment suggested the Tab 3 and I was thinking it had to be China OS but it's actually made for U.S. market. It was in stock a few days ago but is sold out now. $500 is a lot and no SD card, but finally an 8" Android flagship tablet. I also took advantage of the $400 Mini from Amazon during the holidays and haven't opened it yet. It's outside of my return period. The Tab 3 doesn't have OLED, but the screen seems good enough. The Mini is the best small tablet until this Tab 3 launched. Now there is a debate! Android is so much better for emulation but the tiebreaker is whatever suites the user's needs.
