The 7-inch tablet category in the Indian market is seeing some good action with the likes of Google, Asus, Xolo and Apple offering their latest flagship tablets.

We try to solve your dilemma by pitting the three against each other and pick out a winner.Build and design Both Nexus 7 (2013) and Xolo Play Tegra Note are 7-inch tablets while the iPad mini with Retina display has a 7.9 inch display.
