So the 2012 Nexus 7 with minimum width of 800 pixels and that Tesco Hudl/Nook HD with 900 do not need 4:3.
And the iPhone jumped to 16:9(phone standard) when it went 4" size., though that was as much to keep width the down.”
I'm not sure why you keep jumping around referring to (now) resolution. The number of pixels has nothing to do with the actual width of the screen on the device.
A simple example would be to look at the demos on YouTube of an iPad mini and nexus 7 side by side. It shows web browsing, movies, home pages. I can see no disadvantage of the mini over the nexus 7.
I'll state again, I like the nexus but I spent several hours with both before I chose the iPad mini and screen real estate was one of the deciding factors.
