The Mi Pad is for everybody looking for a tablet, really. An affordable alternative to the iPad Mini and an able competitor to other Android and Windows tablets in the market, the Mi Pad is a great option on the table with a terrific price tag.
Xiaomi is popularly called the’Apple of the East’, and it makes no qualms about borrowing the design cues from the Cupertino-based company. The Mi Pad is a manifestation of the same, and features a 7.9-inch display like the iPad Mini, although it is slightly thicker and heavier than the latter. The device has a pretty good, balanced size and you’d be fine while holding the tablet in one hand.
The Mi Pad packs a punch in the hardware department. Powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor with 2GB of RAM, the Mi Pad is an absolutely fantastic performer. The tablet sails through everyday usage, but that’s not all.
The Mi Pad expectedly features MIUI, the customized Android version from Xiaomi that powers all their smartphones and has quite a fan following. Of course, the tablet packs in MIUI in a slightly modified form to suit the larger screen estate that works well for the Mi Pad.
Not many Android tablets impress, and the ones which do are let down by the app experience of even the most common apps, an issue because of the diversity in sizes of Android devices.
