PERFORMANCE
-
Thanks to its hardware, the Mi Pad should have tremendous potential for gaming. Sure enough, it was able to crank out a very impressive average of 42fps in the GFXbench test, and 25, 338 points in 3DMark’s high-end Ice Storm Unlimited run - Ice Storm Extreme was maxed out. These are the highest scores I seen on small tablets, and are especially impressive considering the high screen resolution. Needless to say, 3D games looked very good indeed. However we do have to say that the upper rear of the Mi Pad did get hot to the point that it was uncomfortable to hold. With the device in landscape mode for gaming, the difference between what our two hands felt was highly distracting.As far as CPU-based tasks went, AnTuTu also returned a very impressive score of 48, 666 points but Quadrant did not run. The UI was generally snappy other than a few odd, intermittent slowdowns and app crashes.
Conclusion

Although there are several Android tablets available, there is a considerable dearth in choice when you’re looking to buy a device in the 8-inch segment. There’s the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.4, Nvidia Shield Tablet and HTC’s Nexus 9, which at 8.9 inches is slightly too large to hold one-handed with ease. The Mi Pad wins in this regard, as the tablet at 360g is highly portable and lightweight enough that you don’t notice the heft when you’re holding it for extended duration of time.Yes, its not better than the iPad in terms of overall performance and build quality, Neither iPad is better than it in terms of value for money.At this price MiPad is surely the best you could get.
