Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review: A solid budget phone, but is it right for you?

Leave a comment

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE trickles down the Galaxy S21’s great display, impressive cameras and versatile software into a more affordable, less flashy package. And though the $699 S21 FE is not the company’s first full-featured phone to go for under $1,000, this time it’s launching with stiff competition in the form of the $599 Google Pixel 6.

After a week of living with Samsung’s latest smartphone, here’s what you need to know about the S21 FE.

An affordable Galaxy phone

The S21 FE is best for those who want an affordable Galaxy smartphone that doesn’t skimp on features like an immersive display and a trio of cameras.

The who, what and how

Who this is for: The S21 FE is ideal for someone who wants a bright display and a versatile set of cameras to shoot with for under $700, or who wants Samsung’s software and exclusive features on a budget.

What you need to know: The S21 FE is smooth in everyday use, can handle intense tasks and is a solid shooter for photo or video. Samsung’s many modes include portrait, a night mode and Single Take, which removes the fuss out of capturing content. The phone also offers smooth, fluid processing, a triple-camera system and long battery life.

How this compares: The Galaxy S21 FE isn’t best in class like the more expensive S21 smartphones, but it offers a vibrant display, swift processing and better-than-average cameras housed in a less-than-premium build. But if you’re not married to Samsung’s interface, we’d opt for another phone like the Pixel 6. Google’s latest flagship delivers the best camera experience on any Android phone we’ve tested, and while it has only two lenses — wide and ultrawide — we didn’t miss the telephoto, thanks to its excellent digital zoom. And if you’re not after the latest and greatest hardware, the Pixel 5a With 5G is an excellent $449.99 phone with similar camera chops, and Samsung’s Galaxy A52 5G ($449) offers a dose of future-proofing with full support for mmWave and Sub-6 5G. If you’re looking for an Apple product, the iPhone SE at $399 is a high performer with a classic design, while the iPhone 11 ($499) and 12 ($599) are both available at discounted prices — just be wary of the storage limit on these models.

The Galaxy S21 FE looks like a modern smartphone with one catch. Like the S21 and S20 FE, Samsung is using less premium materials. The frame is aluminum, but the back is polycarbonate — aka plastic. It doesn’t necessarily feel cheap in hand and is plenty comfortable and light, but the smooth plastic finish on the back shows fingerprints, leading us to recommend a case.

The S21 FE is slightly larger than the standard S21, and though it’s built with similar materials, it feels cheaper. For instance, the camera bump on the back, which contains the three-camera system, still comes out of the device’s frame — yet instead of the metal on the Galaxy S21, here it’s all polycarbonate.

The S21 FE also fully supports wireless charging and works on any standard Qi charging pad, though you can also plug it in via a USB-C cable. The port is flanked by a speaker and the Micro SIM card slot, while the power/sleep button and volume rocker live on the right side. You’ll also find cutouts and bands for 5G support — the S21 FE supports both the Sub-6GHz and mmWave standards. This not only future-proofs you as these networks continue to roll out, but it fixes the 5G conduction of the previous S20 FE, which only packed support for the slower Sub-6 spectrum.

The front of the phone is mostly screen surrounded by thin bezels. Centered at the top of the screen is a pinhole notch with a 32-megapixel selfie camera, though it doesn’t distract in everyday use.

The 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED display is immersive, with vibrant colors that pop when scrolling through Instagram, taking in a TikTok or swiping through various apps. Watching an episode of “The Book of Boba Fett” showcases how the S21 FE’s display can handle vibrant areas like a glowing sun against the dark armor of the bounty hunter in the same scene. Other displays, mostly on cheaper phones, may struggle with scenes like this.

The display also features a 120Hz refresh rate, which is becoming the new standard for mobile phones. It’s not adaptive like the 60Hz screens on the S21 or the iPhone 13 Pro, so it won’t adjust based on the content you’re watching or what you’re doing on the phone, but you’ll see a marked difference in how the higher refresh rate enhances action scenes and allows for smoother scrolling. You can set the display to 60Hz or 120Hz in the settings menu — going with the former option could increase battery life.

The in-display fingerprint sensor may not be as fast as the standard S21, S21+ or S21 Ultra, but it performs admirably. Samsung’s using a less advanced optical sensor in the S21 FE, unlike the zippy ultrasonic sensor that impressed us on the more expensive models.

Smooth performance and solid battery life

Like nearly every higher-end Android phone that launched recently, the Galaxy S21 FE packs the zippy Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, letting you easily browse social media, handle productivity tasks (email, web browsing, G Suite and spreadsheets) and even engage in some play, whether that be streaming video or gaming.

And because the Galaxy S21 FE is launching close to a year after the main Galaxy S21 family, you’ll score Android 12 running Samsung’s One UX 4.0 out of the box. We especially appreciate the new privacy tab in settings to get a better sense of how the hardware is being used.  However, if you’re expecting clean Android without the Samsung user interface, you’ll want to look at the Google-made Pixel 6.

Our other qualm with the Galaxy S21 FE is that it’s limited to 6GB of RAM in the 128GB of storage and 256GB with 8GB of RAM. This is a full 2GB less than the entry-level S21, though we easily got through several tasks and a full day of use. Those who use the phone for more intense tasks, like photo editing and gaming, might see more of a slowdown. Down the line, with software updates, this could present an issue as the system and apps get more demanding. And, of course, it won’t offer the same future-proofing as the S21 Ultra, which features a massive 12GB of RAM.

In day-to-day use, we found the S21 FE glitched or slowed down at times. This could get sorted out with software updates, but it’s worth noting we didn’t encounter these snags on the standard S21 or Pixel 6.

As we do with every device we test at CNN Underscored, we ran the Galaxy S21 FE through a series of benchmarks. On the standard Geekbench 5, which runs the phone through a series of tasks in a stress test, the Galaxy S21 FE scored 1,098 on single-core performance and 3,210 on multi-core tests, which are well in line with other Snapdragon 888-powered phones, including the standard Galaxy S21. Most importantly, though, the S21 FE’s scores match up with our use day in and day out.

In terms of battery life, Samsung’s 4,500mAh battery has been getting us through a full day.

The Galaxy S21 FE has a different look than the Galaxy S20 FE, but the camera hardware is identical.

The triple-camera main system performs well, allowing colors to pop without sacrificing the image’s details. Samsung’s software modes for taking photos and capturing content also help make the experience better. As we’ve called out before, Samsung’s Single Take mode is an intuitive feature for taking the fuss out of photographing a moment. You just tap the start button and move the phone around what you want to capture. It then uses AI to strategically snap shots and capture video. It’s a pretty neat feature, and we had no issues with processing.

Samsung also offers a variety of other modes, like a portrait bokeh effect and an efficient night mode, though if given the choice, we prefer shooting with Apple and Google’s proprietary modes for those same styles.

There’s also no battle when it comes to image processing against the Pixel 6 because Google’s images consistently look better and pack more details.

Here’s what to expect with the Galaxy S21 FE:

  • 12-megapixel ultrawide lens: You can pack a lot in a scene without physically moving by shooting with this 123-degree field of view. It’s a great way to frame different shots, and Samsung minimizes disruptions in the edges of the photos.
  • 12-megapixel wide-angle lens: The camera automatically opens to the 12-megapixel main camera. This works best for portraits and can handle more crowded shots with tons of colors and details.
  • 8-megapixel telephoto lens: The zoom lens is only 8 megapixels here, allowing for a 3x optical zoom and a 30x Space Zoom. This mixes optical and digital zoom into one shot. Though it’s a fun mode to use, the quality phases out past 10x zoom, resulting in blurry images.

You can see some images we shot on the device above. In direct comparison, the telephoto lens included here outperforms the Pixel 6 in zoom shots in most scenarios. Samsung also ups the vibrancy with its photos compared to rivals, and you can see that on the S21 FE. The selfie camera performs admirably and is excellent for capturing TikToks or posting on stories, while the overall performance of the wide and ultrawide lenses is on par with the previous S20 FE and nearly the same level as the S21.

As the last chapter in the story of the Galaxy S21 and the first Samsung smartphone of 2022, the S21 FE gets a lot right. But when it comes to timing and price, the smartphone space has other compelling models to offer.

If you’re not desperate for a Galaxy smartphone or a dedicated telephoto lens, we’d opt to save $100 with the Pixel 6. Google’s $599 phone delivers longer battery life, a higher-end design and fast processing along with one of the best cameras we’ve ever tested. But if you want a Samsung-flavored Android or an impressive zoom lens, there’s a lot to like with the S21 FE. You also might consider the standard Galaxy S21, which is frequently discounted from its $799 starting price and comes with more RAM, a better screen, a higher-end build and a better telephoto lens.

Right now Amazon has a great deal that gets you the S21 for $699 with a free $100 Amazon.com gift card. If you choose to order from Samsung, you can either get a $100 credit or choose a pair of Galaxy Buds Live or Galaxy Buds Pro for $29.99 with the purchase of the S21 FE. Either way, you’ll want to wait to purchase it at a discount or attached to a deal.

Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals 2021: Bundles, cheap games and more

Leave a comment

Looking for more holiday deals? Visit our Guide to Cyber Week to see all the best sales to shop during Black Friday.

Black Friday is always a great time to snag a Nintendo Switch or some discounted games and accessories, and that’s especially true this year. Nintendo’s beloved home console is finally somewhat easy to find again after a year of shortages (unless you want the shiny new OLED model), and there’s a new bundle this year that gets you lots of useful extras right out of the box.

On top of that, some of the absolute best Switch games out there are significantly discounted, as are plenty of useful accessories for enhancing family game nights or playing on the go. Ready to play? Here are the best Switch savings we’ve spotted so far.

Nintendo Switch console and bundle deals

Best Buy

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle ($299, originally $369; bestbuy.com, walmart.com, amazon.com or gamestop.com)

Nintendo usually offers a Mario Kart 8 bundle every Black Friday, but it’s sweetened the pot a bit for 2021. On top of getting you Mario Kart 8 Deluxe — an excellent kart racer that just about every Switch owner should have anyway — this bundle also includes three months of Nintendo Switch Online. That will allow you to play games online right out of the box while also getting you access to cloud saves and a sizable library of NES and SNES classics, including The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario World.

You’re getting all of that for the system’s base $299 price, which essentially means you’re getting $70 of free stuff. Just note that this bundle includes the standard Nintendo Switch, meaning you won’t get the bigger, bolder display found on the $349 Nintendo Switch OLED.

Nintendo Switch OLED ($349; amazon.com, target.com and gamestop.com)

While we don’t expect the Nintendo Switch OLED to be discounted for Black Friday, this week might be your best chance to find this hard-to-find console in stock. We called this model the best Nintendo Switch yet, thanks to a gorgeous 7-inch OLED screen that really makes games pop and an improved kickstand that’s ideal for impromptu Smash Bros. tournaments.

Walmart

Nintendo Switch Joy-Con

Nintendo Switch Joy-Con ($69, originally $79; walmart.com)

It’s never a bad idea to pick up an extra pair of Joy-Cons, whether you want to refresh your Switch with some new colors or just need extra controllers for family game night. Nintendo’s versatile mini gamepads are available for their usual sale price of $10 off, making now a good time to grab some if you’ve been holding off.

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller ($59, originally $69; walmart.com)

When you’re trying to win an intense Mario Kart match or finally vanquish that difficult Metroid Dread boss, sometimes the tiny Joy-Cons don’t cut it. The Switch Pro Controller is all but essential if you do lots of big-screen gaming, as it’s much more ergonomic and comfortable than the Joy-Cons while still supporting motion controls and advanced HD rumble haptics. It’s rarely cheaper than this sale price, so snag one while you can.

PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller ($38.99, originally $54.99; amazon.com)

Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Pro Controller? If you can live without HD rumble and Amiibo support, PowerA’s wireless option is a great choice at this price. It has a similar look and feel as Nintendo’s first-party pad as well as two programmable back buttons that can help give you an edge in competitive games. And if you’re shopping for a serious Nintendo lover, this gamepad comes in a variety of themed skins that run the gamut from Animal Crossing to Zelda.

PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller ($13.99, originally $27.99; bestbuy.com)

If you don’t mind going wired, this is one of the cheapest prices we’ve seen on a dependable Nintendo Switch controller. Like its wireless counterpart, this PowerA pad has programmable rear buttons and comes in several Nintendo flavors inspired by Mario and Pokémon.

PowerA GameCube Style Controller ($29.99, originally $44.88; walmart.com)

If you’re a hardcore Super Smash Bros. player or just have a lot of nostalgia for the Nintendo GameCube, this throwback controller will let you play games like it’s 2002.

Amazon

Orzly Carry Case

Orzly Carry Case ($16.59, originally $19.99; amazon.com)

One of the most popular Switch cases out there, this Orzly model features a hard water-resistant shell for keeping your Switch safe on the go, and has enough room to store up to eight game cards and plenty of extra Joy-Cons and cables.

Sisma 80 Games Holder ($13.58, originally $16.99; amazon.com)
For folks who own a ton of physical Switch games, this Sisma case will make it super easy to take your whole collection with you. This case can store up to 80 game cards and will also fit your SD cards if you want to take some extra storage with you. Just note that this lightning deal will be gone by tonight and may sell out soon.

Razer Kraken X ($29.99, originally $49.99; amazon.com)

The Razer Kraken X is our favorite budget gaming headset, thanks to its excellent sound, comfort and mic quality for the money, and it’s a perfect companion for playing your Switch on the go.

SanDisk 128GB MicroSDXC Card ($19.99, originally $34.99; amazon.com)

If you download most of your games digitally, your Switch’s internal storage is going to fill up fast. We highly recommend that any Switch owner picks up a microSD card like this discounted 128GB SanDisk model, which will let you store exponentially more games, screenshots and videos at once. This popular card works with every Switch model, and as a bonus, it comes with some fun Nintendo branding.

Amazon

Ring Fit Adventure

Ring Fit Adventure ($54.99, originally $79.99; amazon.com)

Nintendo’s hugely popular exercise game just hit its lowest price yet, making now a great time to see what all the hype is about. Ring Fit Adventure is essentially an immersive role-playing game that you play with your entire body, as you’ll use the included Ring-Con and Leg Strap to vanquish foes by performing various exercises. If you’re looking for a fun way to work up a sweat, this is it.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit ($59.99, originally $99; bestbuy.com)

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is an augmented reality game that essentially turns your living room into a playable Mario Kart course. You’ll drive an actual remote-controlled car around your home, which comes to life on your Switch screen as an interactive track complete with enemies, hazards and all the fun chaos that comes with a great Mario Kart race.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ($35, originally $59.99; amazon.com)

Super Smash Bros Ultimate ($49.94, originally $59.99; gamestop.com)
Another essential addition to any Switch library, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is both a fun way to virtually beat up your friends and a loving tribute to all things video games. Its massive 89-character roster runs the gamut from staples like Link and Donkey Kong to third-party guests such as Pac-Man, Sonic, Solid Snake and Simon Belmont. Between its expansive World of Light single-player mode to its near-endless amount of casual and competitive multiplayer options, Smash Ultimate is one of the most content-packed games you can get for the money — especially at this rare $10 discount.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes ($15, originally $39.99; amazon.com)

Lego Marvel Super Heroes is a delightful brick-based adventure that lets you play as more than 100 beloved Marvel characters, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Spider-Man. It’s a great time for adults and kids alike, and an excellent pickup for just $15.

Why settle for just playing a Mario game when you can make your own? Super Mario Maker 2 makes it easy to craft the Mario courses of your dreams as well as play a near-endless stream of creative, charming and straight-up sadistic levels created by other players. There’s even a story mode for those who want a more classic Mario experience that also teaches you some building basics. It’s one of our favorite Switch games, and well worth it at this price.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate ($19.98, originally $39.99; gamestop.com)

Sonic Colors: Ultimate brings the classic Wii game to the current generation with slicker graphics, new modes and all of the high-speed action you’d expect from a Sonic game. It’s 50% off just months after release.

Splatoon 2 ($26.99; originally $59.99; gamestop.com)

Splatoon 2 is a great introduction to the shooter genre that has teams of squid-like children battle to cover the arena (and one another) in colorful ink. But don’t be fooled — just because Splatoon 2 is kid-friendly doesn’t mean that it isn’t highly competitive, as you’ll need good reflexes and strategy to come out on top. With Splatoon 3 set to hit next year, now’s a great time to snag this addictive shooter and get your ink-blasting skills in shape.

Cruis’n Blast ($22.99, originally $34.99; gamestop.com)

Air Fryer Black Friday Deals 2021: Ninja, Instant Pot and more

Leave a comment

Looking for more holiday deals? Visit our Guide to Cyber Week to see all the best sales to shop during Black Friday.

Air fryers have swarmed into America’s homes over the past few years as a handy way to get that delicious fried crunch you want from fries and wings without all the fat. They use just one teaspoon of oil and supercharge its powers by circulating air around your food like a convection oven. So, you get restaurant-tasting food without all the calories and fat.

These days, air fryers come with more tricks than ever: Not only are they available in a range of sizes and capacities, but they often have handy tech tricks built in (like app programming) and other purposes too — think air fryers that are also Instant Pot-style appliances, for example.

We’ve rounded up some of the best air fryer deals from Black Friday sales across the internet, including Walmart, Target and Amazon. Shop them below to try ‘em out for yourself.

Macys

This air fryer truly has it all going on: It comes with 100 recipes and 11 presets and right now, it’s nearly $80 off. Thanks to its generous capacity, it’s a great pick for families.

Best Buy

While you can easily spend upwards of $100 on an air fryer, you don’t have to — plenty of great models come in under $60. Case in point, this bella Bella, which is currently $30, has a great aesthetic and can air fry with the best of them. Say hello to veggie chips, salmon, and more.

Target

The six-in-one model of this Ninja Foodi air fryer adds more programmable functions in each of the two baskets’ zones. We like that we can knock out two things at once thanks to the dual baskets, and the finish feature manages cooking to make sure both sides are done simultaneously and one basket doesn’t lag behind the other.

Macys

If you want an air fryer that can really do it all, this Ninja model looks great on the counter and can help you get dinner on the table in no time — and without fuss. It’s 10 times more powerful at circulating heated air than your standard convection oven, plus, its 10 settings handle a wide range of food from baking and pizza to bagels and roasting. It’ll fit a 5-pound chicken, too.

Target

Dash Tasti-Crisp

Another one of our winners when we tested the best air fryers of 2021, the Dash was our affordable pick thanks to its simple, hassle-free air frying and cheap price tag. And now, Target is offering it for even cheaper, slashing $20 off the price and bringing it down to $39.99. It’s also available for $49.99 at Amazon and Bed Bath and Beyond.

Macy’s

Our pick for the best air fryer toaster oven, this Cuisinart air fryer typically goes for $229.99, but you can snag it right now for just $159.95 in the black and white color options. We loved this air fryer’s versatility, allowing you to air fry, bake and roast basically anything.

Target

Using an air fryer is one of the easiest ways to cook up delicious, healthy meals without too much hassle. This option features eight one-touch presets so you don’t have to bother with time or temperature when it comes to basic dishes. Plus, it sports two separate 5-quart baskets so you can prep different components of your meal all at once.

Amazon

Ninja AF101

Ninja’s air fryers are some of the best on the market and use 75% of the oil conventional frying uses — and right now you can save $30 on the brand’s sleek, 4-quart machine. Our pick for the best overall air fryer, it can hold two pounds of fries and has a generous 2.6-foot cord length in case you need to stretch it across a countertop. It’s dishwasher safe for extra-easy cleanup, too.

Walmart

Ninja Foodi 4-in-1 8-Quart 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology

The only problem with air fryers is that you can only cook one thing at a time — until now. Before we imagine our 2031 kitchen scapes consisting of entire walls of air fryers, we can safely say that two drawers really does make a huge difference. It’s the first air fryer to have ‘em, and you still get plenty of room: Each side has a 4-quart capacity.

Best Buy

Ninja Air Fryer Max XL

One of the largest in Ninja’s lineup, this air fryer boasts a 5.5-quart capacity that can power a temperature of up to 450 degrees — it’ll hold three pounds of chicken wings in its (dishwasher-safe) basket too.

Amazon

Chefman Air Fryer Toaster Oven XL 20L

With a fairly industrial capacity — perfect for holiday entertaining — this toaster oven transitions easily and automatically between cooking presets, which include air frying as well as convection broiling and baking, toasting, and more.

Walmart

Chefman Turbo Fry 3.5-Liter Dual Control Temperature Air Fryer with Flat Basket

There’s no complicated digital interface here, just a dial and a magical machine. You don’t even necessarily need to use oil for this one, which has a capacity of 3.5 liters — great for a couple or singles batch-cooking. The basket is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning, too.

Amazon

Cosori 3.7-Quart Pro 1 Air Fryer

Cosori’s medium-sized air fryer is perfect for roommates, couples, or singles who like to cook ahead — and right now it’s 15% off on Amazon. It uses 85% less fat than traditional frying, and it has 11 one-touch presets that include steak, chicken, root vegetables, bread, and desserts.

Walmart

Ninja Air Fryer XL 5.5-Quart

This Ninja air fryer is one discount that’s catching our eye. It gets top ratings for being able to cook up to three pounds of french fries, and it has four programs including reheat, roast, air fry and dehydrate so it can knock off all sorts of kitchen to-dos.

Amazon

Instant Vortex Plus 4-Quart Air Fryer

Instant (yes, of that Instant Pot brand) makes a range of great kitchen appliances, and this 4-quart air fryer can broil, roast, dehydrate, bake, and reheat — and it has programs for treats like cinnamon buns, too. It uses among the least oil of the group, with 95% less than conventional frying means.

Amazon

Cosori Air Fryer Max XL

Great for big families or a flat of friends, this 5.8-quart Cosori air fryer is a beast of a machine that can fit a whole 5-pound chicken but still only take up a small footprint on the kitchen counter. You’ll find 11 cooking functions, including meat, veggies, and more, as well as settings for preheating and keeping food warm. Handily, it includes a shake function so you get an even fry, too.

Williams-Sonoma

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL with Fat Removal Technology

This extra-large air fryer can fit a whole chicken or six servings of fries, making it the perfect air fryer for large families. Plus, its single knob makes it simple to use and an easily removable basket means that clean up isn’t an issue.

Leave a comment

Looking for more holiday deals? Visit our Guide to Cyber Week to see all the best sales to shop before — and during — Black Friday.

We’re technically still a couple days away from Black Friday — but don’t tell that to Amazon. The most massive online retailer likes to make a full week (or more) out of the biggest shopping day of the year, which means the site has posted deals galore already.

Below, find the best deals happening right now at Amazon. Keep in mind, some of these discounts will only last for one day or until sold out, so if you see something you like, act fast. And if today’s not your day, don’t fret; the Underscored team will be staying on top of Amazon’s limited-time deals all week long. Look out for brand-new sales and savings tomorrow and beyond.

Amazon Black Friday deals 2021: Samsung, Instant Pot and more

Leave a comment

Looking for more holiday deals? Visit our Guide to Cyber Week to see all the best sales to shop before — and during — Black Friday.

We’re technically still a few days away from Black Friday — but don’t tell that to Amazon. The most massive online retailer likes to make a full week (or more) out of the biggest shopping day of the year, which means the site has posted deals galore starting today and will continue the savings throughout the week.

Below, find the best deals happening right now at Amazon. Keep in mind, some of these discounts will only last for one day or until sold out, so if you see something you like, act fast. And if today’s not your day, don’t fret; the Underscored team will be staying on top of Amazon’s limited-time deals all week long. Look out for brand-new sales and savings tomorrow and beyond.

iPad 9th Gen and iPad Mini 6th Gen: How to preorder

Leave a comment



CNN
—  

Apple just took the wraps off of the latest standard iPad, which is getting a really nice power boost, and the new iPad Mini, which is getting a massive overhaul complete with attractive color options and some significant upgrades under the hood.

Wondering which new Apple tablet is for you? Here’s how they both stack up.

Both new iPads are available for preorder now and are set to ship on Sept. 24, with the iPad starting at $329 with 64GB of storage and the iPad Mini starting at $499 with 64GB of storage.

Both iPads can be upgraded to 256GB of storage for those who need more space ($479 for the iPad; $649 for the iPad Mini) and can both be configured with optional cellular connectivity (starting at $459 for the iPad and $649 for the iPad Mini).

Apple

On the outside, the latest version of Apple’s classic $329 looks pretty unchanged. But it’s getting a notable speed bump that could make it even better for the office or classroom — not to mention one of the iPad Pro’s best features.

The iPad will now feature Apple’s A13 Bionic processor, which the company says should deliver 20% better performance than the previous-gen model. Apple also says you’ll get three times the speed of a top-selling Chromebook, and that it’s six times faster than the most popular Android tablet out there. We found the eighth-gen iPad to be very reliable for running multiple programs at once and hopping on FaceTimes while using apps, and we found that its benchmark scores (including a strong nine-hour battery life) beat out the seventh-gen model by a decent margin. However, we did see some slowdown when doing heavier tasks such as video editing, so we’re curious to see if the new model’s processor bump will make the base iPad a more reliable machine for serious creative work.

There are a few notable camera upgrades here, most significant of which is the arrival of Center Stage. This feature, which we loved on the latest iPad Pro, allows your tablet’s camera to keep you in frame even as you move around while on FaceTime calls or Zoom and Webex meetings. When you combine that with the tablet’s new 12-megapixel ultrawide front camera, the new iPad could be one of the best tablets out there for video conferencing and remote learning. Just note that while the front camera experience will be similar to that of the iPad Pro, you won’t be getting the latter tablet’s LiDAR sensor, which is a depth-sensing camera that allows you to do things like accurately measure real-world objects or enjoy better performance for augmented reality programs.

Apple

Other upgrades include a TrueTone display, which allows the screen to automatically match its color temperature to the room you’re in for the best viewing experience. This feature is typically found on Apple’s more expensive tablets and laptops, and it’s one we’ve found handy to have over the years. The slate will continue to come in Space Gray and silver, and because the new iPad’s design is relatively unchanged, it’ll work with all existing iPad accessories, including Apple’s Smart Keyboard.

For those who own an iPad released in the last few years, this new update is largely more of the same save for a better processor, upgraded display and new camera tricks. However, if you find that your older iPad is starting to chug during everyday use — or don’t have an iPad at all — this new model looks like a good entry point that promises fast performance and especially good video conferencing capabilities.

Apple

The iPad Mini just got its biggest refresh yet, with a sleek new look that takes more than a few cues from the latest iPad Air models while packing some seriously promising tech upgrades into its tiny frame.

Apple’s smallest iPad now comes in a range of attractive and vibrant colors, including purple, pink, a gold-like Starlight and Space Gray. Like the iPad Air, it has a Touch ID sensor built right into the power button up top, which allows the screen to be almost completely borderless.

Speaking of the display, the new Mini’s 8.3-inch screen now features Liquid Retina, which is Apple’s proprietary take on a traditional LCD display that packs pixels together very tightly to create images that are dense in detail and light on jagged edges or blurriness. We found this type of display to deliver especially crisp text and images on the more premium iPad Air, and we’re eager to see how it stacks up on this smaller slate.

Apple

In terms of power, Apple says that the latest iPad Mini can deliver up to 40% faster CPU performance and up to 80% graphics performance than the previous generation, which sounds promising for things like split-screen multitasking or playing demanding console-like games on Apple Arcade.

One of the iPad Mini’s most significant upgrades is the inclusion of USB-C, the now ubiquitous charging port that allows for things like super-fast charging and quick data transfers with compatible accessories. It’s another feature that’s trickled down from the more expensive Air and Pro. The Mini also supports 5G, which means that if you live in an area with the right wireless coverage, you may be able to enjoy faster-than-usual speeds when using a cellular model on the go.

The Mini’s cameras both get a bump up to 12 megapixels, with the front camera getting the Center Stage feature that allows the camera to automatically follow you as you move around on FaceTime calls and Zoom meetings. The new tablet also has improved speakers that allow for stereo sound in landscape mode, which should provide a nice boost to binge-watching sessions.

Apple

The new iPad and iPad Mini are both looking like compelling upgrades to Apple’s most affordable tablets that may even serve as worthy iPad Pro alternatives for some folks. Both tablets will likely be some of the fastest around, and both of them have some really neat camera tricks (including Center Stage) that will make them especially great for FaceTimes and work calls.

If you’ve yet to dive into the iPad family, the new $329 iPad seems like the best entry point yet. And if you want to pay up for a more attractive and compact design, the $499 iPad Mini may be for you. We’ll be testing out both of Apple’s new tablets in the near future, but in the meantime, both models are up for preorder now and are set to arrive starting Sept. 24.
