While the original Mi Pad looked like a tablet version of the iPhone 5c with its colourful plastic rear covers, the firm has really stepped things up a notch with the Mi Pad 2.
The second generation of its small-screen tablet has an aluminium chassis which, as mentioned, comes in either silver or gold options. We took a look at the golden model and the effect is very subtle and in certain lighting doesn’t really look gold at all.
There’s no escaping the fact that the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 looks like the iPad mini but to a large extent it’s going to. We’re not sure we could make a 7.9in tablet with a metal case and glass front without it looking similar. I personally love it.
