I don't have either, but let's compare the specs. These specs are the same:
Size: 10.3 inches
Pixel Dimensions: 1404 wide x 1872 tall
PPI, being a function of these two, is 227 for each.
CPU: 1.5GHZ Octa-core
SD Card Slot: Supports up to 128GB (Digital Reader reports not finding it on Alita, but maybe it is hidden)
Battery: 4700 mAh
USB: USB-C
Speakers: Yes
3.5mm headphone jack: Yes
Color Temperature System: Yes
Bluetooth: Yes
These specs are different:
RAM: 2GB on Mimas, 4GB on Alita
Storage: 16GB on Mimas. The Digital Reader reports 27GB on Alita (maybe a nominal 32 GB). Good eReader reports 16GB.
Color: Mimas is white, Alita is black.
Buttons: home, back and two page turn buttons on Mimas. Invisible home button on Alita.
Weight: 430g for Mimas, Alita 10% lighter, so maybe 387g.
Flush bezel: No for Mimas, Yes for Alita
OS: Android 6.01. GoodeReader indicates that the Alita will get an upgrade to Android 8 in September. It's not mentioned whether other Likebooks will be getting the same update.
Microphone: No? for Mimas, Yes for Alita.
Significance of name: Mimas is a moon of Saturn, Alita is a Martian cyborg battle angel.
Based on these differences, the main advantage of the Mimas would be having more buttons. In other respects, the Alita seems to be better. It has more RAM and more storage space, is a bit lighter, has a flush bezel, is expected to run Android 8 eventually, has a microphone, and for a Battle Angel Alita fan like me, has the more appealing name. The flush bezel may have its pros and cons. It will make it easier to tap on the side, but it may make the device harder to grab onto. When I pull my Likebook Mars out of my waterproof sleeve for it, I grab it by the edge of the bezel to pull it out. In general, I'm more tempted to get the Alita than I was to get the Mimas. But since I already have a Likebook Mars and a Kindle DX, I may wait a while and see how other people like the Alita before I get one for myself.
