It’s been quite a few days in the tech world with the unveiling of new iPads at the Apple event last week as well as new Google Nexus devices being made official. The HTC Nexus 9 and iPad mini 3 tablets will both see big demand and will soon be making their way into the hands of consumers around the world. Today we have a video comparison to share of the Nexus 9 vs. iPad mini 3 that clearly shows the benefits of each.

The Nexus 9 and iPad mini 3 will both release running the newest versions of their operating systems, with the Nexus tablet running Android 5.0 Lollipop while the iPad mini 3 will be running iOS 8.1. Therefore some people who have a strong preference of operating platform will find the pick much easier, although others may have a tougher choice.

The Nexus 9 has an 8.9-inch display while the iPad mini 3 has a 7.9-inch display, with the latter remaining largely unchanged specs-wise since the previous version. Rather than a long-winded comparison, if you want a quick idea of which tablet might be best for you the YouTube video below this article should help you out.
