GSMArena
Functional and familiar, if dated design. Unibody still feels solid.
Support for first generation Apple Pencil and Apple Smart Keyboard.
Good 500 nits of brightness, as advertised and nearly-perfect sRGB color accuracy.
Solid, but unimpressive battery life and charging speed.
Latest iPadOS 15, with improved multi-tasking features and polished UI, with some new elements.
Apple A13 Bionic performs about as expected inside the iPad 10.2 (2021) and is not holding back the software. It is perfectly usable.
The new selfie camera works great for FaceTime and video conferencing and is a major upgrade over what was available previously.

The new selfie camera works great for FaceTime and video conferencing and is a major upgrade over what was available previously.
Outdated design, with huge bezels. Kind of hollow body and fingerprint-magnet glass front. Still no ingress protection.
Display is not fully-laminated and has an air-gap, causing plenty of glare. Pixel response time is not great either. No HDR video support.
Stereo speakers perform well, but are not well separated and sit right next to each other.
Main 8MP camera is still quite underwhelming overall.
