In terms of features, the device is highly useful and efficient. However, what remains to be seen is how effective it will be competing with smartphones and other mobile devices such as tablets since these are getting even advanced with each passing day and have competencies and efficiency that can easily challenge Remix Mini. What stands in favour of Remix Mini however is the fact that it is something unique and in terms of value for money, at least for now it is much cheaper than smartphones and mobile devices.
