  • Come on Xiaomi give us an 8-8.4" tablet with power to match a top line phone, a fingerprint scanner/home button, decent stereo speakers, Usb C, and the current display and will have many updating from their mi pads/mi pad 2 instantly!!! The Huawei M3 8.4 nearly had me switching sides, but no USB C let it down.

  • cannot expend memory. no card slot.

  • no GPS

  • no Global Positioning System here!

  • doesn't have GPS

  • It doesnt have a GPS

  • No GPS

  • Thanks for sharing the fact about human beings becoming robots. Very well said. There is no point in arguing to a robot. It is preprogrammed for being it. To be more precise and being honest, opinions are shared for the betterment of the world. But it is the ego that takes predominance. Sometimes I learn from my own mistakes. Thanks for the enlightenment. I pray God that the world shouldn't end like Jurassic Park.

  • My dearest person.Please for following moral guidelines ethic,prevent mentioning mentioning each others privacy affairs . The best suggestion is technology electronic affairs analysis instead of unrelated using matters hurting internal feelings !!!Thanks with the best regard ' Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar respecting everywhere everywhere in this VR world of knowledge sharing....

  • Do you mean to say that we should shut up and accept everything your friend says and mocks about others. For your information, just learn to accept that there is no one in this world who would accept everything you say. You can't expect this even from your lover or your wife.

  • Dearest Xiaomi.This affordable tablet could have been more popular to have had the least bezel , a dedicated external memory slot,GSM global,more up to data Bluetooth,USB V3.1,8000 mah battery and other necessary up to date preinstalled apps....Thanks anyway for your Max , RN4, RN3 popular products..,.Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar is an expedient supporter....Thanks for you next modified model....

  • Dear Bro, I am not the owner of this website and I truly believe neither are you. I just said that the comment is unacceptable but, I didn't say that you shouldn't comment. I have even rights just like everyone. When you have the rights to reply back to me, why shouldn't I. All products Good or Bad finally end up in some hands. Did I say that you shouldn't purchase this tablet. The world is all yours and you can do whatever you wish. Wishing you Good Luck.

  • you are nobody in here to say if a comment is acceptable or not, really you must think that your opinion has to be mandatory acceptable, shame on you brother, even Will Smith has done his own post in here, and as you say that's is not true, well I work next to him same office almost and his nice to all of us even him is not posting like is the owner of people way of thinking like this idiot, if something is acceptable or not you are NODODY to rule it.

  • l00k ab0ut 0ther tablets man ! Len0v0 gives 1GB ram in 16000 tabs huawei gives 3GB ram in 52000 mi gives 4GB ram in 14000 damn! The CPU is brilliant mediatek ,the design slim its price 0MG 0ne!, its brand a g00d emerging but chinise its size g00d camera is als0 g00d what the damn hell u need m0re fr0m the sinking ship 0f tablets # im l00king f0rward t0 but it # this is the 1

  • It should be noted that this Mi Pad 3 has no GSM and G4 connections capability.

  • Latest ROM has solved the optimization issue. The tablet should be fast and smooth.

  • Get one for Mi Pad 2, both devices have the same exact dimension.

  • I'm quite happy with tablet, the build quality is excellent, the screen is fantastic. I also noticed that Mediatek SoC seem to be the only ones that still offer FM radio, which is a real plus for me. I got TWRP and root working, I'm just hopig for a fix to a "Waiting for Wi-Fi" error in the Google Play store, which I currently work around by uninstalling update. I'm trying to figure out if this would work with a USB-C to HDMI adapter, but I'm getting conflicting information.

  • is this OTG compatible, pls help me on this

  • Love the product. It's compact and stable with global rom 7.5.11 (beta)

  • I have this product for almost 1 week. And the global rom I've got cant download from playstore. But after some rom change it works perfectly fine for me. Love this product. Right now i want to search the flipcase for my mipad 3 but it's hard because of the new release

  • Hi, how one can comment about the RAM, ROM and CPU performance without buying the product. To be honest I'm not the person to whom you've replied. When one shares his experiences, just try to accept it and think seriously about it.

  • so, you dont have to buy this product

  • This is the worst product ever from Xiaomi, ROM is not stable, RAM and CPU optimization is not there(Seriously, it is so worse like it's not there. This CPU should be a good performer.) The team who approved this product to be launched into the market must be high on something before they made the decision.

  • It is because of the MiUI.

  • Someone that has used the previous ones in the series has dropped a small review. It lags because it's not well optimised compared to earlier versions I guess.

  • Optimization of the software is the worst among all the tablets. And it lags very frequent.

  • 4K is 3840 x 2160

  • Your comments indirectly concludes that products of Samsung and Microsoft are like Ferrari. Yes definitely, they are. Whatever be the case, definitely a Ford can't become a Ferrari.

  • If you want to praise Xiaomi, just do it. But, definitely not at the cost of degrading other brands.

  • I definitely accept that these Xiaomi guys make tablets that are affordable. But, definitely I can't agree your comment that they make fun of Samsung and Microsoft. I feel happy that you didn't include Apple with these names. Why these unnecessary comments and comparisons. Variety of products are manufactured across the globe to cater different categories of consumers. Just choose a product accordingly to your needs. It is acceptable if one blames a product or the organisation when the product doesn't satisfy their needs since they've invested their hard earned money. But unnecessary comments are unacceptable.

  • If you want those specs you need to pay up to 4 times as much more money this is more a budget tablet and it is great for his price.

  • its 4k display lmao

  • FHD is 1920 x 1080.. It's more than FHD.. Then MT8176 has 2 A72 cores.. So it's faster than SD625.. Please do some research first

  • nice

  • Most of you people expect a Ferrari with the price of a Ford Fiesta and also you don't even own a super smartphone or a great tablet so, better shut up and stop complaining and watch these chinese dudes making fun of Samsung and Microsoft by making almost the same product with a low price.

  • Why didn't they replace those stupid buttons with front facing stereo speakers? Seriously, rear facing speakers in 2017 is a crime. And physical buttons on tablets, if not fingerprint sensors, they're stupid as well

  • "CopyCat" of what? this Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 looks like any other tablet. a Screen and some buttons. So where is the "copy cat"

  • I was waiting for a MI tab with gsm but yet I am dissappointed

  • A pure 1,000$ tablet.

  • Why do u buy a smartphone when someone already brought? is this Copycat?

  • Xiaomi please don't copycat Samsung by taking out the IR port, that's an essential feature for many tech savvy users. You will sell a lot more devices if the IR port is builtin.

  • halo, look carefully, resolution is beyond FHD since first gen.

  • it is pretty disappointing here is what I expected from a tablet: 9.7" display with high resolution It should be light. 380 gr was good as it was rumored for mi pad 3 pro Core M processor not those Z8750 series which are weaker 256 GB hard drive & 8 GB RAM LTE connectivity micro SD slot Windows 10 OS USB type C port 10-12 hours battery life very light keyboard which can used as cover too Then I think that would be a really portable tablet I think microsoft surface book , Samsung galaxy book , asus Transformer book t300 chi are good as hybrid laptop but a pure tablet

  • Generally speaking it is not bad, but as CPU it gives the impression that it will be relatively slow. It would be better if they used the SD625 at least. And the display could be at least a FHD. But finally everything will depends on the price tag

  • This SOC doesn't seam that bad, It should have the power with the 2 a72 cores pull battery life the 4 a53 It has AC wifi dual band plus the GPU can support a higher res display. It benches higher than the SD 625. The SOC should be fine for everything the only thing bad about could be the battery life. As it is on the 28nm process. The ASUS ZenPad 3S uses it already look it up

  • What do you want to say now? Actually, now this mi pad 3 is so bad to be good. Moreover, now, I think that the price of Samsung Galaxy tab S3 is justified.

  • Oh man.... Intel and Nvidia chips were excellent... Why are you degrading it to a MediaTek piece of crap?

  • Xiaomi mipad downgraded over the time not upgraded ... I have mipad 1 and it the best and stronges one of the series

  • It doesnt looks bad but i am missing here something. And many users missing something even more.

  • definitely tab 4. reason: tab 4 has snapdragon processor and mi pad 3 has mediatek processor. who da hell would buy a mediatek processor tablet? plus tab 4 is also cheaper.:)

  • lenovo tab 4 8 plus is going launch on May, compare to this Mi Pad 3, which is better?

  • 300 USD for MTK tablet? Are you kidding? Xiaomi mi pad 2 is by far, a better option. 64GB version costs around 180 euro and has dual OS.

  • 'WiFi Only' is one of the worst thing in gadget world

  • If a thing is too good to be good it is bad. Take for example electric cars. Though it is technically feasible to mass produce electric cars no one would do that just because it would spoil world oil economy. This will be feasible only when the world's oil wells dry out. Talk to some Product and Marketing Management guys to know more about these concepts. Take Titan watches. If a particular model of their watches becomes a hot seller they will simply discontinue them just because it would cannibalize their other models. Everything cannot be dealt with here. I end up just by saying only one thing. Think twice before you spend your hard earned money.

  • You mean, I must pay more than double the expected price, of the high end version of the upcoming Mi Pad 3, for LTE connectivity in Samsung Galaxy Tab S3? Xiaomi could instead charge upto 100 US $ more (than the price that is expected currently) on the high end version of the Mi Pad 3 (Pro version, I mean) and make it a complete device. That would have been such a great option - that is, 2 models for the pad in total - A $230 base model and a $400 ($310 (currently expected price) + say, $90 extra) complete/near complete set of specs on the higher end model (LTE enabled Pro version). That would have been affordable, great choice for those who demand more from a tablet. Plus, I don't think it would strain Xiaomi's finances. And, I also do not think Xiaomi is technically incapable of achieving it. They could very well do it and make a device that would be remembered for long in the history of technology.

  • No, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is not worth it. It does not have Windows and it is quite a bit slower.

  • Why don't you consider Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7. It has got all the features as you ask for. But honestly you shouldn't compare the price since you want more. If you want more pay more.

  • xiaomi, let intel core M3-7Y30 not be forgotten. xiaomi is supposed to create advanced Pad.

  • When the day arrives just assume how powerful will be the same day's laptop and desktop.

  • yes it can...but not today...

  • We will definitely know it when the tablet is released

  • Is there a Android variant?

  • Indians who are interested to buy this tablet may ask Reliance Jio to partner with Xiaomi to make this tablet LTE enabled since Xiaomi has two manufacturing plants in India.

  • How can you expect your cigar lighter to function as your stove.

  • Oh ya, ya. Hoof. But at the cost of another half of the price of the tablet.

  • Not everyone like you would be ready to pay more for the tablet.

  • we don't want mediocre camera. just take it off or put a nice one plz.

  • Cellular Connectivity is must needed feature. Except that this is the best tablet for the price I had ever seen.

  • they are not going to launch it in India in 2017. So no use of searching it on net.

  • will xiaomi mi pad 3 work like a high end computer or at least as a good laptop?

  • Dearest unbiased knowledge followers.It is an almost PC and tablet mixture!But omissions of qualities thought being Windows Microsoft is not what people in 2017 the evolutionary year are after!!What are omissions!!!?Having no SIM slot,no NFC,no IR,no complete up to data Bluetooth 5+5 auxiliaries,no USB V3.1 + otg,...Of course better specifications than Mi2!!!Scientific view:Dearest Xiaomi will face defeat if doesn't do modifications before its release!!!With modification corrections:One of the best PC laptop tablet of 2017-18 if someone exits in Xiaomi publication relations!!My unbiased view:Xiaomi started very well with 6 unique quality devices but after RN4 mediatek down clock downgrading of qualities have been started based on un-scientific wrong calculations of todays public alertness!!!?Just hopefully Xiaomi returns to itself of being the best Chinese starter brand but not,...Thanks the awaken!Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.whom cares about quality of all brands!

  • Still, I would want Xiaomi to make Mi Pad 3 (atleast the higher version, if they plan to launch multiple models) to be LTE enabled. They should do it..It's 2017 and the next update to Mi Pad after this one (if it launches) will not be until 2019. Internet connectivity on-the-go (and at all times) is very much needed, now-a-days. It so much adds to the utility a device can offer. In developing countries where public Wi-Fi Hotspot network is too under-developed while LTE connectivity is decent and steadily improving, a non-LTE device is such a deal breaker.

  • cellular with intel isnt quite as easy as it would be with an arm nvidia/qualcomm/whatever cpu.

  • its hard to make a tablet like this with a removable battery. from what i understand the mi pad 2 the battery is replaceable. but you simply cant make a battery as hot swappable and reliable on something as thin as this. its ALOT more replaceable than any microsoft surface.

  • i get this has usb c but what does this have that the surface pro 4 does not? in practicality it does all the same things. sure its newer but that is like saying the surface pro 4 was a surface pro 3 killer simply cos it was newer.

  • likely yes as this is a full x86 platform (like your home desktop) and will likely be runnign windows 10 home or pro it would be unlikely this is runnign the upcoming windows 10 cloud which limits apps to the windows store but even if it was you are likely able to upgrade to home or pro.

  • i dont think you understand what windows 10 mobile is. windows 10 mobile is only on arm phones. not even on tablets and certainly not on x86 cpus at this time. the cpu in this is a full x86 cpu just like on your desktop. so this will be running windows 10 home or pro. there is windows 10 cloud which is much like windows RT where you are limited to moderns windows apps from the store though that is an artificial limit to make a cheap licence for consumers. you would be able to up grade to full windows if that was the case unlike windows rt.

  • the screens are the same as the ipad and ipad mini. apple chose to keep the resolution the same to make app development esier. also its also a good idea as when you make a screen smaller you still want to be able to fit as much on. this is why 11.6" laptops have 1366x768 just like the 15" counterparts which have a standard ~100 dpi. 11.6" at 900x480 would not be as practical.

  • Hi, sadly to no cellular..Why not..

  • wow greatest, when when when release?????????

  • That's true! Until an official announcement is made by Xiaomi MiPad-3, assuming it actually exists, we're just engaging in meaningless conjecture.

  • Hi you seem to be too smart. To who-so-ever it may concern, why unnecessary smart talks before the product is released. Manufacturers are too smart than us.

  • GK - You're like a dog with a bone regarding the m3-7Y30 vs Core i5-7Y54 processor. :) Manufacturers like Xiaomi don't buy retail, they make mass purchases. The 25% difference in processing power between these two chips is, for all practical purposes, meaningless. So a mass manufacturer like Xiaomi will go for the cheapest option. Even if there's only a difference in cost of 0.1 cent between the processors, when they're purchasing 100,000 or more units, they're minimizing their corporate bottom-line. Hopefully, those saving will be passed along to consumer in the Mi-Pad 3's retail price. If the rumours of the Mi-Pad 3's existence prove to be true, I'll buy it! I own both the Windows and the Android versions of the 8-inch Mi-Pad 2. I love 'em both. When it comes to work, despite its diminutive size, the Windows version of the Mi-Pad 2 is capable of doing everything and anything a laptop does. When it comes to play, the Android version of the Mi-Pad 2 is my tablet of choice.

  • You may want to check the Wiki page 'Kaby Lake'. Check the comparison b/w processors there, in the tables provided. Check for Core m3 - 7Y30, Core i5 - 7Y54 and Core i5 - 7Y57. They retail at the same price, have same power ratings, and of course, the same architecture. Surprisingly, Xiaomi (if the rumours abt Mi Pad 3 are correct) is using the least powerful one, the 7Y30.

  • The i5 is faster, but also more expensive and draws more power (even with identical tdp) which would impact battery runtime too much for a 10" tab architecture wise, both are the same...

  • Waitinggggggggg!

  • GK has a requested “a satisfactory, well-explained argument in favor or against” Xiaomi's rumored – as of today’s date NOTHING about the Mi-Pad 3, even its existence, has been confirmed by Xiaomi – use of the Intel Core m3-7Y30 over the Intel Core i5-7Y54. These two processors are virtually identical, with the latter being about 25% faster. In practical terms, a 25% difference in processor speed is inconsequential to performance. The general rule of thumb is that there has to be 100% increase in processor speed in order to produce a noticeable difference in processor speed. A processor’s architecture also impacts performance. So it is possible that the architecture of the m3-7Y30 may outperform the i5-7Y54 with respect to some key functions (i.e. bootup speed). Only an Xiaomi insider will be able to provide a authoritative insight regarding why they opted to use the m3-7Y30 -- if the rumors prove to be correct. Most likely the decision was primarily based upon cost.

  • Yeah..but what about that extra clock frequency on the Core i5-7y54? The difference (Turbo - All Cores) of 0.6 GHz, which is 600 MHz...(and same for Turbo - Single Core)...won't that affect performance much? And then, there is this highest variant amongst all these low-power mobile processing Kaby Lake chips..the Core i5-7y57 (I missed mentioning it in my prev comment), which holds almost no difference when compared with the Core i5 - 7y54 though while definitely, a tad bit with the Core m3 - 7y30... Besides, THE POINT IS: When all of them are similar, hardware design-wise and cost Xiaomi the same (for procuring and most probably optimizing too), why not use the best performing one? Why use the one at the lowest end? Extra performance is surely gonna help at some point in the future, I guess. Won't it? PS: I'm an amateur in this stuff. Expecting a satisfactory, well-explained argument in favor or against it. Thanks! :)

  • GM commented on the Intel Core i5-7Y54 vs. Intel Core m3-7Y30. The specs of these two processors are compared here: Their specs are almost identical, with the 7Y54 rated at 2.6GHz while the 7Y30 is rated at 2.0GHz. Based upon the stated specs, there doesn't appear to be much differentiating these two processors.

  • I'm wondering why Xiaomi would not want to use Core 7Y54 in Mi Pad 3, which is a more powerful variant of the low-power mobile processor series in the Intel's Kaby Lake architecture, as compared to Core m3 7Y30 which is currently being rumoured to be present on the device. Both retail at the same price. Economically, in mass production too, both should cost Xiaomi the same (whatever the bulk quote is). And hence, should make no difference in the final product cost.

  • Today I contacted the Customer Service reps at www.mi.com to see if I could confirm the pending release of this rumoured 9.7 Xiaomi tablet. Here's the chat response I received, copy and pasted verbatim: "I am sorry to inform you that at present we do not have any updates regarding the launch dates of the product, however I would request visit our official website www.mi.com/en regularly for updates regarding availability/launch of MiPad-3." The preceding response suggests that the Mi-Pad 3 is a REAL product!

  • Oh, right. The iPad Pro 9.7 actually has the same resolution as this tablet. So they're both equally sharp. Yey

  • Sorry, I was just replying to another person's comment on the display resolution compared to something like the iPad Pro.

  • True. xD

  • I wait it like icecream in the summer. It will be the first hardware to be bought first day no matter the early problems. The price is amazing.

  • Xiaomi, WHY? Why did you not release this epic piece of hardware? Makes the iPad Pro 9.7 obsolete in one go :)

  • What a bummer! At last a W10 tablet with good specs and prize and then... *non-removable battery"! What a pity. So perhaps after 2 years you can throw it away. I 'll continue waiting for a similar product with removable battery then.

  • Thanks for your announcement.

  • There is a 9.7" iPad pro

  • Xiaomi will be there at the CES 2017. You can anticipate their mi pad 3 announcement at the show. Grab the product as soon as possible before the stock washes out. It is better you preorder it at Xiaomi's website.

  • still no announcement, must buy it!

  • I wonder as to how can people compare iOS with Windows and Android. All are different experiences. Please do only compare two or more Android products, two or more Windows products or that of Apple. Pick products which has the same Operating System and compare the processors first before the rest of the hardware.

  • Well, first of all, the resolution is 2048x2732, which is not 2160p. Regular 2160p is 2160x3840 or 2160x4096, and 2048x2732 is not any of those two. Second of all, the iPad pro has a larger display at 12.9" compared to the Mi Pad 3's 9.7" display, meaning a higher resolution would be required to reach the same pixel density on the iPad Pro. Thirdly, if you look at the pixel densities of the screens of both the iPad Pro and the Mi Pad 3, you'll see that they have the exact same pixel density of 264. Well anyways have a nice day. :D

  • Yes definitely one can opt for Surface book depending upon how deep your pocket is, but, as far as I am concerned a good business man or a professional will not expend their money unnecessarily. Rich people are rich just because they always plan before they expend. Now, the world warrants more wisdom to survive.

  • buy surface pro 4 with core core i5 and 8 gb ram....its a bit costly but worth the money

  • Hello Sir, very eager to reply. The world once survived even without a bulb. I wonder why the world struggles now. It is because and only because of technological advancements. Technology has driven people lazy. Now everyone needs everything in their pocket. People are driven to walk only if they ere diabetic. Well to answer your question being a professional how had you survived all there days. Why don't you take a pinch of salt from your past to sweeten your meal. No one would reject your project if you provide the demo with your laptop. Why fancy tags. What will you do if your capable tablet ditches you in the middle of your demo. I am sorry to say that technology is driving people crazy and sick. I pray God that these technological advancements shouldn't become the cause to the end of our world.

  • So you are going to mess up your table with dock stations, different sorts of cables, a decent sized monitor to connect your mi pad, etc. As far as I am concerned I am planning to go for a decent 7th gen desktop as I don't believe in laptops even since, even laptops too have its limitations. I do not mean to say that I don't own a tablet. I do own and I use it for its own specific purposes but, definitely not as my desktop. For me it is just a reader and diary. Nothing more or nothing less. Well; belief system varies between different people.

  • Can a Mi Pad from Xiaomi be expected with higher processor than Atom etc. I am a software professional and willing to provide demo for my hospital domain software, which hopefully not possible as there the application is having RDBMS (Oracle 8i till 10G) in the backend which cannot be installed in a Atom or a lower chipset processor. Is any chances that Mi Pad comes in higher grade processor so that our problems are solved.

  • Do you know the specifications of this tab's processor. Please check and do say as to whether it is capable of serious works.

  • What do you mean by serious work. Give examples. I consider sending emails to my parents is the most serious of all my works.

  • Not true. With decent display size and small BT keyboard, this can be used for more serious work

  • People fall for and are crazy for Windows tablets just because it is cute and compact. Please make sure before expending your money. It has no use other than for management professionals.

  • Windows tablets are for professionals in management. It can be just used for presentation purposes and the like. It can't be even used as a play device. The real use of Windows can be experienced only in good quality laptops and desktops.

  • If you look for apps and games then you have to go for Android or iOS. But definitely this will not be a Windows mobile.

  • I am sorry to say that a real developer will not look for tablets for development. Either you should look for for a good desktop or a laptop with mq or hq processor.

  • Yeahh I agree with you

  • Will Mi Pad 3 have a stylus pen?

  • This tablet is a Surface Pro 4 Killer, because it has: - Most common applications capability: windows 10, 8Gb RAM, 256Gb ROM - Most common CPU task capability: Intel Core Gen 7th (Kaby Lake): 10% faster than previous generation, improved architecture of video capability to 4K videos, and thunderbold 3.1 chipset embedded - Laptop use friendly: Long lasting battery - Tablet use friendly: Low weight to hold in one hand, and good display. - Desktop use friendly (Dock Station): USB Type-C, you can connect all others devices in one cable (Charger, HDMI, USB, etc.). - My hope: USB Type-C can have Thunderbolt 3.1 compatibility in order to connect External Graphic Card Dock Station, and to have full compability with others devices. I am waiting for a Computer/Laptop/Tablet like this to replace my Surface Pro 4.

  • Can we install desktop softwares in mi pad 3 such had jdk.exe, netbeans for developing.

  • i wish it have cellular connectivity T.T

  • It comes with Windows 10, just like many 7-10" tablets with Windows 10.

  • I wonder which OS is really inside this one, Windows 10 or Windows 10 mobile because I ever had bad experiences with apps and games in Windowsphone, this platform doesn't have popular apps and games that I like to use compare with Android or iOS. If this one will come with Windows 10 mobile, then I have to say goodbye.

  • Comparing a budget tablet with a premium priced product is not correct. If you're willing to pay the same amount of money you pay for an iPad, I am sure you can get premium product similar or better than the iPad.

  • somebody said this just gizmochina hoax

  • A tablet with Intel core M3, that sounds interesting. But I think iPad Pro will still be faster

  • Well check ipad pro.. 2160p resolution.. anyways no regret its about ur choice

  • BTW, I meant the HD 615 wasn't even good enough for 4K Android gaming, so it would be worse with Windows. Also, this tablet isn't that good. If you compare it to all the other Windows tablets.

  • Only? The resolution of the screen is the same as the iPad Mini Retina (basically 1440p in 4:3 ratio). Just because it has a bigger screen doesn't mean it has to have a high resolution. Even the HD 615 wouldn't be enough for smooth Android 4K gaming.

  • Without active stylus it's useless

  • Android version please!

  • Well that much high end specs with only 264ppi. Whats the logic. Seriously crazy

  • I like it.

  • Hi ,I m using MI pad2-white from 8 months and till date working good in all aspects like display,battery,wifi,speakers.very good product in its price category.

  • super

  • I like Xiaomi products - have tried a few of their phones, particularly loved the Mi 5. Tried the Mi Pad 1, liked it but a bit heavy so upgraded to the Mi Pad 2. Problem: Google Play store doesn't work on it. Had to use a third party app store: Aptoide, which works OK but not ideal, some apps like Chrome crash occasionally. I wouldn't want the Mi Pad 3 in any case, no interest in any tablet over roughly 8 inches.

  • Without 3g/4g this tablet is useless...I better buy android lcd tv!

  • Monster From Xiaomi Awesome Tablet i wish i'll buy

  • Please Xiaomi, make it happen!!!! For a good price plz (^,^)

  • That's N1 tablet amazing!

  • Intel Core M3, windows 10, 8GB ram & stereo speakers! Awesome
