Budget Tesco Tablet Beats Apple’s iPad Mini In Consumer Speed Tests

Apple may be the most valuable tech company in the world, but a new study proves the supermarket equivalent may actually perform better.  In a Which? magazine consumer test, the Tesco tablet Hudl2 performed better than it's nearest Apple equivalent, the iPad Mini 3, in speed tests. The industry-recognised Geekbench software tested ten of the biggest selling tablets on how well they could complete simulations of real-world tasks like downloading apps and running multiple programmes simultaneously. Tesco's Hudl2 was launched last Autumn.  The iPad Mini 3, which costs upwards of €400 proved to be the slowest with a score of 1,790, significantly less than the Hudl2 which scored 2,084 and costs roughly €170. Which? editor Richard Headland told the Mail Online: "Our tablet speed test is a great indication of how fast tablets can run when downloading apps or using multiple functions at once. "Nowadays we expect everything in a swipe or a click of the button, so understanding how quickly a tablet is able to process information is important to buyers." Hudl2 was a big seller in the run up to Christmas last year.  A review by the TechRadar website described the Hudl2 as a "stylish, desirable, and cheap full-featured Android tablet that will satisfy the whole family. "It completely outshines virtually everything in the same price bracket." And beyond, it seems.
