Apple iPad (8th gen) review: Best in its class

Recently, Apple launched the 2020-series entry-level iPad in India with prices starting at Rs 29,900 in India.

On the outside, it looks the same as the predecessor but under-the-hood, it comes equipped with the A12 Bionic chipset, promising faster and better performance. I have been using the iPad (8th gen) for a week and here are my thoughts.

Design, build quality, and display:

As said before, the new iPad looks exactly like the iPad (7th gen). It has an identical 10.2-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit Retina Display with multi‑touch and IPS technology. It has a pixel density of 264 ppi (pixels per inch) and can deliver peak brightness up to 500 nits. On top, the screen is covered by the fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating.
