iPad Air M2 Gaming Test

The iPad Air M2 supports demanding games like Resident Evil Village, Bgmi and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the 720 p equivalent resolutions and limited native game. mean it cannot fully compete with equivalent-priced Windows gaming laptops.

 

 

We tested COD Warzone on high settings

 

This is also a very demanding game. Here, the preset was showing custom. The peak was our visual quality. In which all other settings are high. And we uncapped the FPS target.

 

There shouldn’t be any lag in FPS. And surprisingly, we were getting a 30-40 FPS experience. Because it’s a very powerful device. After playing for a long time, we didn’t get any drop. Then I reduced the settings high to the lowest. And after that we were getting stable 65 FPS. Sometimes, there was a drop. And when you play on such a big screen with low settings, It feels like you are playing a game on a 720 P screen. The playable FPS remains, but the visual quality drops. And this game is a bit unoptimized.

 

 

We tested Assassin’s Creed Mirage

 

Then we tested Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The graphics quality was showing by default medium. And we were getting stable 30 FPS. Just like console type of gaming which we get in PS4. It was a similar experience. But I can say that I didn’t like the resolution. It was giving a 720 P type of feeling. Because I have played this game on PC. It definitely looks great in it. But yes, I can say that the gaming performance of iPad Air M2 is good.

 

 

If you want to do color accuracy tasks like photo editing, video editing And color grading

 

It’s a 11 inches Liquid Retina Display. It’s a heavy word that Apple uses. By the way, the resolution is 2360×1640. It’s an IPS display. And the ratio is 3-2. And if you look at the content in multimedia, You get very big black bars. Because most of the content is 16:9. But when you play games, it is automatically optimized according to the resolution. And the refresh rate is 60 Hz. No matter how much you criticize, They say we won’t give you more. You will have to buy Pro Tablets for better refresh rate. Spend more money.

 

We tested the color gamut, it was 99 % S RGB, 73% Adobe RGB, 73% P3 and 68% NTSC. If you check Apple’s website, they have written P3 wide color gamut. But wide is like 100% P3. But in the testing, we got 76% P3. But the colors of the display are good. If you want to do color accuracy tasks like photo editing, video editing, it won’t disappoint you. We also tested the brightness. All time brightness is around 381 nits. It can touch up to 560 nits according to different content.

That you are watching on different multimedia platforms like if you are watching HDR content, The display brightness can be pushed. Display brightness is ok. It’s not too good. It’s not a problem, if you use it indoors. But it’s a problem, if you use it outdoors as it’s a reflective screen. And you will need a shed as it’s not usable in extreme sunlight. It also has anti-reflective coating as compared to any other normal tablet.

 

Reflections are different on it. You can see it in B-Roll. They are taking a lot of money for it. But it’s an anti-reflective display. How much will it be useful for people? Because when a person buys an expensive iPad, he will put a display on it. Lights are not visible on it as they are visible on a normal display. So it’s a problem if you use it outdoors. But it’s not as bad as other tablets.

 

 

About the audio experience and watch content on different OTT applications

 

After tempered, The reflection is as it is. So keep this in mind. It’s a multi-touch display. So you can use it with 2-5,10 fingers. You can use it with any type of content. It has Dolby Vision and HDR10 +. If you want to watch video content, you will get HDR support. It supports up to 1080 P content on other OTT applications. YouTube supports 4K 60 HDR. It also supports Dolby Vision on Netflix. And YouTube supports 4K 60 HDR. Let’s talk about the audio experience. It has dual speakers.

 

Now you will say it has 4 grills, Only 2 of them are for sound, Rest 2 for ventilation. So you get dual speakers here But you will get an idea of the quality of the speakers once you put on the headphones. The loudness is above average. The sound is clear and there is thump. It is not very loud You can feel the stereo separation on the left & right. It won’t disappoint or amaze you.
