Display Comparison
The Realme Pad X boasts a significantly brighter display, reaching 496 nits compared to an unlisted value for the Doogee T20mini, suggesting a lower peak brightness. Both displays share a similar contrast ratio around 1655:1-1664:1, indicating comparable color depth. However, the Realme Pad X’s higher brightness translates to better visibility outdoors and a more vibrant viewing experience. The lack of detailed display specs for the T20mini suggests a more basic panel, likely impacting color accuracy and viewing angles.
Camera Comparison
Neither tablet is positioned as a photography powerhouse, but the Realme Pad X likely has an advantage due to its more modern chipset and potentially better image signal processing. Without specific camera specs for the Doogee T20mini, it’s safe to assume a simpler camera system. The focus should be on video conferencing and casual snapshots, rather than high-quality photography, for both devices.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Realme Pad X’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 (6nm) is a substantial upgrade over the Doogee T20mini’s Unisoc T606 (12nm). The 6nm process node of the Snapdragon 695 offers superior power efficiency and thermal performance, allowing for sustained performance under load. The Snapdragon 695’s CPU configuration – 2x2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold & 6x1.7 GHz Kryo 660 Silver – also provides a performance advantage over the T606’s 2x1.6 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6x1.6 GHz Cortex-A55. This translates to faster app loading times, smoother multitasking, and a more responsive user interface on the Realme Pad X. The T20mini will handle basic tasks, but will struggle with demanding applications.
Battery Life
While battery capacity isn't specified for either device, the charging speeds are drastically different. The Realme Pad X’s 33W wired charging with PD support is a game-changer, allowing for significantly faster top-ups compared to the Doogee T20mini’s slow 10W charging. The Realme Pad X also offers 5W reverse wired charging, a useful feature for topping up accessories. The faster charging on the Pad X mitigates any potential disadvantage from a smaller battery capacity, providing more usable uptime throughout the day.
Buying Guide
Buy the Doogee T20mini if you need a basic tablet for light tasks like reading ebooks, browsing the web, and occasional video streaming, and your budget is extremely limited. Buy the Realme Pad X if you prefer a smoother, more responsive experience for multitasking, gaming, and content creation, and value faster charging for extended use. The Pad X is also better suited for users who want a tablet that will remain relevant for longer.
