Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9 - User Reviews

  • Bro use XDA or YouTube to learn

  • hey there, culd you guide me the steps from where i can custom flash the rom you mentioned. m complete beginner

  • I buy this tab 5 years ago, and stil work But you must to flash custom rom, cause the miui stuck on kitkat version I recommend Lineage os custom rom from xda developpers This day my tabs have nougat version, and performance is very good It can stream youtube till 1080p, browsing with chrome is ok, multi tasking is good enough (remember this tab just have 2gb of RAM)

  • After use for 5 years mi pad work like champion, it work perfectly well with moden app. No regret bought this, not only cheap as compare other brand but also good performance.

  • Check mi pad

  • please power off to can charger single not fast

  • This Pad is just insane using it since 2015 and its working like it was new.

  • What are you talking about it has noughat and Oreo available for it just look up for the custom roms in xda

  • using it form past 4 years , still works great . Although i am stuck at kitkat .

  • Using it for 4 years. still works as new.

  • Been using it for 2.5 years...Nice tablet still works good...but stopped receiving updates

  • still using it.still good

  • It does have FM radio, headphones must be connected.

  • Awesome tab its with me from 2 years and performance is best

  • the is good at media consuption like movies but when you brinf it to gaming only 80% works the tab display is good but it can be broken easily so you should be careful.

  • how to use whatsapp

  • download China rom it's working smoothly Just download it and place in your Internal memory and upgrad through update app

  • Ya I am too facing the same problem

  • Is this outdated?

  • Does Mi Pad support FLAC audio format??

  • Cannot flash twrp and install custom ROM(non-root). Does anyone else faced this problem.

  • My Mi pad is continuously break down after 8-9 months from purchase. I request to you, do not buy this product. Sandip

  • From where did you buy this?

  • My tab's display isnt working it was good whn i bought it but nw after just a day its not responding plz help

  • yes i got it on my n920g (single sim). the n9208(dual sim) still did not get nougat. don't worry you guys will get it soon enough.

  • Did you get your Nogut update for Note 5 ? I have not received iy for my Note 5 duos N9208 !

  • finally sold mine for a good price. this thing started to become horribly slow. it served me good for more than a year.

  • Xiaomi mipad keyboard mistyping..after my recent device update, the keyboard is mistyping with capitals going on and off and instead of certain words, it would choose the numbers that share the same space it has, like instead of "p" it would choose the number "8" and sometimes it would not even display any character. What can i do ? Update was stable rom provided by device update that is used in canada and happens 80% of time , thus typing is really difficult with wrong spelling , numbers and capital letters .

  • Though it's performance is quite good but often it does not read SD card and internal memory files without rebooting. Rest is fine.

  • One of the fellow member provided it, search here for it

  • Hi,god day,help me cus may MI pad tab,is not charge and not open,how to recover may MI pad

  • just search smoke rom from play store ?

  • You should install smoke rom on it, most of the performance problems go

  • sometimes the back home button and the tab not working properly ?

  • Nice Screen . Bad performance. I regret. 3 1/2 out og. - IT is impossible to value.

  • I suggest you re-install the MIUI ROM from the official website with miflash (fastboot). It will solve all problems. In case that didn't work, verify that the product is genuine. If it is genuine, then get a replacement, probably the device is defective.

  • IC. Your opinion is not good. so I will not purchase

  • The tablet didn't work out of the box. I've a redmi note 3 pro which worked great so I expected the same from the tablet, not "system launcher isn't responding" and black screen. The tablet is UNUSABLE, you can't go into settings or anything, it's just pitch black screen with "system launcher isn't responding", you can only go to the camera if you mash the three buttons that are working but good luck cause you can't access the settings to do the factory reset anyway. I wouldn't recommend this broken product to anyone, it's horrible.

  • how to update to version marshmallow or lollipop ? pls . response .

  • Pls Give A Vice calling system........& Give us 4G for india

  • To add up to my previous remarks on android nougat update for Xiaomi mi pad 7.9, what I'd like to say is that the mi pad is also eligible for the upcoming Andromeda OS of Google..

  • Gearbest had some leftover stocks. But I think they have cleared that too. Search for it in Olx, Quikr, ebay, etc.

  • I want this tablet what I do

  • This is false. You can compile android to target 64 bit (ARMv8/arm64) or 32 bit (ARMv7/arm) processors.

  • This probably is my 6th tab , and I must say for something that costs only around 150$ it sure is a beast of a machine and is probably comparable to flagships of other companies like the tab s2 , ipad mini etc, Im sure it's to put a smile on your face for the specs it offers.

  • It's best I use i had compare it to Apple ipad mini but mi pad is better and cheap mi pad is pad in its cost it use nvidia processor it is fast and it's battery backup is good

  • Actually you should feel happy that the tab only costs its screen price.

  • Do you mean to say that it would be worthy to replace the screen if it breaks if the tab is costly?

  • Hi Xiaomi, have your ever thought about the increase in brand value of your organization, if you give nougat updates to all your eligible devices including 32 bit processor devices since I don't want to give up my mi pad 1 Nvidia tegra.

  • better not go fot this tablet..the new one costs around 10,499 rupees. if display is broken then that alone would charge 9,500 rupees that is not at all cool

  • But custom charges

  • Android L if both 32 and 64 bit, according to manufacturer preference and the hardware on your Mobile / Tablet

  • Aliexpress

  • Hello i want to know for sure Xiaomi Mi Pad 1 Are supports memory card up to 256 GB Who is Try this ? Maybe I'll buy a 256 GB memory card And I do not want to lose my money Thanks

  • Hi, you can try from

  • Hi, you can try on Gearbest. there are 200 pieces left

  • Hi. Looking into the configuration of Samsung Galaxy Note 4, I think both the versions of Android OS, 32 and 64 bit are open to all mobile manufacturers. The hardware of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is 32 bit and still it is upgradable to Android M. I think Samsung is giving this upgrade since there are significant amount of left over stocks. Moreover, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is upgradable only till Android Lollipop.

  • Hi. For your information the processor of Nexus 9 is 64 bit. But you might ask how Nexus 6 is getting its Android Nougat upgrade, though its processor is 32 bit. Though I am not knowledgeable like the anandtech guy, to my knowledge it is almost impossible to run a 64 bit Operating System on a 32 bit hardware. Google is possibly doing this by modifying the Operating System's Kernal to 32 bit. In other words, what I would like to convey is that there are two versions of their Operating system 32 and 64 bit. Google might be doing this to their line of products to increase their brand image/value. Moreover, I doubt whether their two versions of OS are open to other brands too. Even if they are open, I think other brand manufacturers will not be interested in doing the same since they'll not be interested to increase the life span of their older product line ups.

  • no problem my friend

  • Thanks a lot buddy, after your suggestion I tried this rom. This is by far THE best rom I have tried. Everything is smooth. Had issue with twrp recovery flash but solved using adb method. Then after flashing this rom, I must say everything is noticeably smoother. I also flashed bloatkill#5, now getting around 1~1.1 gb free ram on idle. Again thanks a lot for mentioning this rom.

  • from where did you buy that? i am unable to buy it, have been looking for it since last 3 months

  • HTC Nexus 9 is all most The same hardware, and the same type of processor and RAM size has received nougat updated

  • all your problem with mi pad will be solve using MiuiSmoke rom. here is the link

  • Bought this Xiaomi Mi Pad for myself and my girlfriend. We are pretty happy with them. Here are Pros and Cons: Pros: 1. Amazing value for money. Probably the best tablet out there within €150 price range. 2. 2GB of RAM. Massive advantage, meaning you can use multiple apps or demanding apps without fear of them shutting down due to lack of RAM. 3. Absolutely beautiful high definition screen. We are talking about over 300 pixel density. This is not some cheap display that you would find on other Chinese tablets, this one is premium display compares to what Apple iPads have if not better. 4. Very good camera quality. 5. I personally like that there's a LED beside the camera that tells you how badly baterry is discharged. For example without turning on tablet, by seeing red LED you know that tablet battery is pretty low. Cons: 1. Probably the biggest issue of them all is "incompatible with quite a number of popular apps on Google Play store". Meaning you cannot install some popular apps like Instagram on this tablet. This DOES NOT mean that you cannot install Instagram on this tablet. You can't do it through Google Play, but you can still simply download and install Instagram .apk file from the internet, and it will work perfectly fine. 2. Standard UI (User Interface) for some reason causes Google apps icons to look quite weird, which bothered me. I have downloaded a free app on Play Store that is called "Apex Launcher" which changed UI to a more standard Android UI, also which fixed Google icons. 3. No GPS. Doesn't bother me, but may bother some other people. 4. No upgrade to Lollipop. Again doesn't bother me, but might bother other people.

  • Hi those who are on the lookout for a Genuine Official Android upgrade. Xiaomi mi pad 7.9 can't have its Android upgrade since its CPU is 32 bit where as Android L and its successors are 64 bit.

  • It seems to be a fake ecommerce site

  • Bought this just 10 hours ago. First thing it asked to update to miui 7.0. All the apps started crashing. Serious Lags. Got fed up and tried to do factory reset with data wipe. Now it's stuck on erase data loop. It's bricked. Gonna return it right away.

  • It does not have GPS, if you are looking for navigation use it is not the one for you. No Telecom services either, it's good for WiFi only.

  • In which site mipad with 2gb ram and 64gb rom is available .

  • Is this tablet good to buy ? any body facing any kind of problem that never fixed?

  • It's available in UAE carrefour for AED399. MI PAD 64 gb model

  • 3 years now since i've bought the first mi pad, guess what, it's still on android 4.4.4 and xiaomi won't release the kernel source so devs can't make proper custom roms, only unofficial cm11 ports. Even the updates that xiaomi provides are still up to this moment, based on 4.4.4, it says MIUI 8 but it's still android 4.4.4 underneath. they've just added cosmetic changes and additions but still same old buggy implementation of kit-kat THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS PIECE OF SHIT proof:

  • in which site the mi pad is available

  • Just a little curious, but how does Tegra K1 GPU compare against Adreno 530 and other latest GPU's ?

  • U can search shopmonk site........its available

  • Check carrefour use a valuable in offer 399aed

  • You got that right, multitasking on the stock ROM was just HORRIBLE.

  • Yes, it is a very good product. Specs for the price is unbeatable, period. But it takes a bit of tinkering to get the best out of it. Using unofficial cm11 and its great. Multitasking has improved because in sstoc its not that good. I really hope that xiaomi will release the kernel source so we will get lots of custom roms

  • I'm not able to see MI pad available on online shops and on MI store it shows out of stock! Will it be in stock in future? :( I really really need one.

  • How can I install 8gb ram, I know CPU chipset Intel Atom X5-Z8500 supported max ram 8gb. Can I optional ram ?

  • It comes out of stock for last one month

  • yes it is good to buy that tab but the only problem is android 4.4 kitkat if u are ok with it then go for it.

  • for all those people who have bought and used this tab kindly suggest me tht shld i buy this tab or not???? plz give a reason behind ur opinion.

  • But still not now! :( even out of stock in Mi.com

  • no fifa16 does lag a little bit especially when are going to hit a goal

  • it is available only on mi.com for bit high price(10999) than flipkart(9999) and they are also offering insurance for 599 available with ebay sellers also but refurbished product

  • Can anyone provide present availability online sites ????

  • can I play fifa 16 smoothly???

  • This is the most powerful tablet in the world with the one of the most shitty software in the world, but I'll still recommend it because of availability of open source CM11 Rom. Buy this and install new software.

  • View the pad in landscape mode. You will see the next button

  • Is there android 5.0 lollipop upgrade for mi pad???

  • No

  • Hello is this phone upgradable to 6.0 marshmallow

It is cobbected with a strong signal, hoiwever, at the bottom of the page it says Skip rather than Next and that seems to be what is stopping me going any further. If I hit Skip it skips accessing the WiFi. Any solutions?

  • My Pad 2 which only arrived yesterday will not see my WiFi devices and I am unable to access the internet. I have rebooted without success. I have a Galaxy 5S phone and a Samsung TabS so I am familiar with Android devices. What is going on?

  • 2 years now since i've bought the first mi pad, guess what, it's still on android 4.4.4 and xiaomi won't release the kernel source so devs can't make proper custom roms! only unofficial cm11 ports but still based on android 4.4.4. so think twice before you buy this mi pad peice of shit proof:

  • Can we make a call from it .......if so how?? There is no slot for a sim

  • The first time i bought this tab its really good with regards with its performance but now after a bunch of updates my ratings from 10 is the highest and 1 is the lowest would be 8 down to 6. The updates brings me to poor quality with regards to software.. no lollipop update as they said the latest android now is marshmallow. :-(

  • sorry to hear that but for me i can play no limits smoothly..

  • Xiaomi service centre(lower parel) is a open thief Took my 64 Gb and replaced it with some 8 Gb and on asking for it said it's none of our look out!

  • The capacitive buttons on the MI tab does not work when you will apply tampered glass on screen.

  • No its not supported

  • Clash of clan, need for speed no limits doesn't work

  • Can't play clash of clans, needs for speed no limits. The performance of games downloaded for tegra store are also not good. Really disappointed. Version updated to whatever is latest.

  • Is whatsapp functional in mi pad since there is no SIM card option in it

  • Is clash of clans supportable

  • Use VLC player or MX Player ( for AC3 codec support for MX Player, go to : )

  • Turn own it WiFi and connect to it dongle. Like connecting to any WiFi.

  • For me also the same issue. i downloaded codec then aalso its not supporting. Please suggest any player.

  • this very osmm tab but price is very high

  • How and /or can i use Internet Dongle while on travel - if yes how we connect, which connector require. Pl. let me know, so i can use the tab in travelling. Dinesh Rana

  • i am waiting for mi tablet with sim slot.......

  • Carry a Vadafone or any internet dongle and a battery bank, which you can connect using a USB port and you can carry a wifi anywhere you are travelling

  • NO. not all games can run. i've post little which NV Shield can do and MiPad cannot. Tintin, FNAF 1,2,3,4, Batman Arkham City Lockdown, Superman Return, Xcom and many of it which cannot launch at all. Never bought this crap. My opinion is go for Nvidia Shield at $199 which fully support any games on the playstore which Mi Pad likewise. And testing both with Dawn of Titans, NV Tab is running smooth but crazy lagging on Mi Pad. So don't buy this crap.

  • Try connect to power charger before insert drive or card reader. I found solution by accident. Not sure working every time.

  • How to check the RAM memory in mi pad...please help me....& after hitting home button launcher will be redrawn...I updated to miui 7 & I did factory data reset also....

  • Does'nt making my smartphone a hotspot and then using the WiFi facility of MiPad alie me to surf Internet while traveling?

  • Hi, This is a very good piece of hardware but let down by poor software. No Kernel source is released till now because of which ROM's are very buggy or rare. I think there is no lollipop rom for this at present. Also regarding 4G Sim slot, it probably wont happen in near future, because Xiaomi no longer cares about this product.

  • As I am planning to buy a tab, I find mi tab as very convincing one, as most of my work is browsing and reading 7.9 inch display will be good, since mi pad does not have 4G sim slot I am feeling reluctant to have the tab. I would like to wait for 4G sim slot in mi pad.

  • If this TAB has 4G sim slot I will ordered it immediately...

  • yes u can

  • mi team plz insert sim slot in mi tab in upcoming gen

  • Mi team plz insert one 4g sim slot

  • Mi pad has only one issue i.e. it is without sim. MI team Plz attach a sim slot also.

  • Is there OTG support?

  • Try playing the videos from phone memory.I have a Mi Pad and face the issue when the videos are in memory card

  • By functionality I mean the multitasking and overall user experience.

  • I am not saying that all oneplus one are perfect.I am just saying that the huge potential of this tablet is let down by half baked software.Just looking at the forums about multitasking in stock Miui and release of kernel source,you know that software is not good at all.Again I can say that specs of this tablet is unbeatable, PERIOD.But software surely DOES let it down.

  • games work fine apparently. But due to the powerful cpu, it gets hot (~40 centigrade) in heavy load (playing heavy shooting games/graphics demanding titles like infinity blade). Temple run, asphalt 8 are not graphics demanding at all, their grpahics are far below, not to say 50% lower than that of infinity blade. So dont worry, your pad wont get hot after 3-4 hrs playing temple run.

  • I am totally impressed with tis awsome tablet but the connectivity is the main pblm which take backward me to buy it... So please any one dugest me if there any option other than wifi to conndct with internet.....likd 3g dongle etc I need this for official use and wifi is not availeble in most areas....soooo plz sugest me if thre any choice Thank u

  • Are all the apps like messenger ,what's app and games like temple run working smoothly? And is there heating problem?

  • For me it works really well I would suggest everyone to buy this tab and has awsome graphics no hang

  • There are some particularly xiaomi haters around here saying this mipad got some problems. They're denying the fact that this tablet is more powerful than any android tablet you can find on market with the same price, even those from chinese manufacturers.

  • Fyi, a friend of mine bought a 1+1 and the phone turned into an ipod touch after a month of heavy use. If I were to use a Chinese smartphone, theb it'd better be huawei or xiaomi, not oppo. There have been lots of complaints about opppo smartphones in my country already

  • Why would you compare the oneplus one (smartphone) with the mi pad (tablet)?

  • The best part of Mi pad is its screen and processor but that's it. I have oneplus one as my daily driver,wanted a big screen and power of tegra k1. In terms of functionality, this Mi pad can't even hold a candle to the oneplus one. And please release those kernel source,many talented devs are waiting to develop a good lollipop rom for this. Hey people at Xiaomi,please give some respect for ur customers who value your products and buy them.

  • for those who wants to play with mi pad u must need to install cyanogenmod to get most supported apps

  • update your mi pad to the latest available os it allows you to download orelse use xender and get the apk file any of your friends taht will do it ,........

  • Will the source kernel be ever released for this tablet,because in its current state its absolutely horrible experience. Even with no app installed,out of the box free ram is a measely 500~600mb. And apps reload like hell. What is the use of 2gb ram then? Xiaomi are violating the rules by not releasing the kernel source

  • how can i install **********messenger,whats app,imo,hike, play store apps...........in mi pad....

  • Which otg cable is best suitable for mipad?which one to buy?

  • I have an issue with my MI PAD... after updating MIUI to 7 ...my OTG pen drives are not working... please help...

  • if u want it for gammimg it is best low cost tab but for educational purpose u might need conectivity and with out connectivity it is surely not good for edu.

  • I Installed or update just to 7.1 then also still on KitKat so minimum chances for upgrade.

  • try to remove password of the hard disk and try to connect. i t will work.

  • Great potential although not newb-friendly. Needs an inordinate amount of tech know-how in order to experience NORMAL operation. Stick to your trusty samsung tabs and ipads if you're not into tinkering folks. If you go wrong with the software you alone will take heat(pun intended) for bricking your device thus voiding warranty. Products are supposed to come stress-free right off the bat and not to be under continuous research and development through consumers...

  • my big question is ..is it upgradable to android marshamallow?

  • the piece of hardware inside the mi pad is nothing short of monstrous but the culprit here is the software which is not optimized for the hardware of such caliber. i am not into the heating club because such powerful hardware will heat up with graphic intensive tasks. problem is ram management which is pathetic. you run any music app in background and then browse on chrome, after 5 minutes music will stop because the system thrives for some free RAM and then you press home button and you see the launcher getting redrawn again, then you switch back to chrome and see chrome loading websites from scratch. the way ram management is done it seems like the device has only 512mb ram. and you will never figure out who eats that much ram even when the tablet is lying idle for few hours. the whole miui software is a beta or alpha version of a final product(however miui in my mi4 is great). wish there was some stock android goodness to the mi pad.

  • Really ???

  • Max pendrive supported mi pad tablet using OTG cable

  • I think mi should go for data pads like 3 or 4g mipads pads not only wifi

  • i have a qus...who is best tablet mi pad 2 ya....apple.ipad mini 2

  • Follow this link and instructions...

  • I can't open the SD card slot.....plz help

  • Anybody out there knows how to reprogram the mi pad in order to control the 'overheating' problem? When I played games on it, the temperature would rise till 70+C° till it's get unbearable to even hold the top part of the pad for gaming. Even my original xiaomi clear case protector is chipping day by day due to the heat. Any suggestions?

  • sometime sd card dont show.how can i fix it ??

  • may i ask how to do that?

  • For those complaining that their tablet is broken, error, shutting down, etc., just download the latest fastboot firmware and learn how to use flash that using Mi Flash. Majority of your problems will be fixed by this, I'm certain about it.

  • Hello , Same with me. I am not able to open the HD from MIPAD. Please assist

  • don't buy this crap. i've been use about a year, and every ota is a crap. hundreds of ota updates but still in kitkat. check out miui forum or XDA forum about this pad. This pad is dead in one year. mipad 2 is coming and xiaomi still hiding the mipad kernel.

  • i am not understanding what is the problem with your tab and why is it happening. i know some apps which are not supported by this tab can show stopped working error. The vedio thing u r saying i dont know what to say because really i have 720p, 1080p, 2k and 4k vedios in my tab and all working perfectly on my tab using mx player and even with stock vedio player of mi tab. i will again say that try to download your vedios in mp4 format . mkv may cause problems even avi format may not be supported but mp4 format is perfectly fine. another thing i want to know which version of miui you are using is it stable or developer one do tell me. and if android stopped working problem is causing you a lot i will suggest to flash your mi pad using mi flash tool and use your desire miui version you want to flash. again i am talking about pure flashing not hard or factory reset. i am sure flashing will solve all your problems. just google how to flash mi pad using mi flash tool and do it with stable miui rom.

  • Hello,my tab is not responding ... All the time it shows that unfortunately the process Android.process.acore has been stopped . and it is shown for a while and the screen turns off.. I have restarted my tab several times but the problem has not been fixed. The screen automatically turns on and a few while later it turns off... What is the problem behind it?

  • It does not support some android app,temple run,flash player,etc

  • Same issue with my New tab. Did you find any Solution ?

  • I have already Downloaded MX, VLC & Full HD player but still videos are not playing. even Downloaded 720P Videos, Same Videos are playing in my Samsung S4 mini. Other than that the Tab is Awesome even Gaming is fun & Graphics are Good But this 1 thing is issue for me kindly Suggest !!!

  • hello max. i think it may be codec support problem for your particular video that you are trying to play. i suggest u to use mx player. As far my Mi tab, its playing 1080p , 2k and even 4k video also without any problem, all videos are in mp4 format. so i dont think so der is any issue with this tab for playing videos

  • Just bought an MI but 1080 Full HD videos are not playing... So is there any issue with this Tab or it doesn't Support only???

  • Hi! I'm using xiaomi mi pad now for more than 6 months.its the best tablet available in the market under 15k. But believe me not even a 25-30k tab can compete with it as far as performance or speed! I don't know if I'm a lucky one but my tablet was doing great since I bought it on may this year!its been buttery smooth. And mind you I'm a heavy user! Using daily about 8-12 hours! Awesome battery too! Awesome piece!

  • Hello. i am using this tab for around 20 days . mostly i use my tab for gaming and i have never faced any issue like you said system stopped working. althouh i have not used thied party launchers because i know very well that mi pad has only 2gb ram and at a time only 600mb or so will remain so i always use stock miui and its doing fine. but i dont understand if you were facing problems first thing u should try to update your mi pad to the latest miui 7 because if system ui is not responding then it may be the software which was causing but as u also said that service centre replacing the board so its hardware problem. so it is your bad luck that u got a faulty device. lets see how my device will respond after few months but right now its working perfectly fine and i am doing really heavy gaming on my pad but no overheating or any other problem

  • there is a radio app pre installed in mi tab. it catches FM radio without earphones attached though not too clear.

  • Got my MiPad around 3rd week of September. After using it for the first three days,it started stopping two particular apps which were browser and process. Swapped Chrome for Stock Browser since it will only load a very limited number of webpages(no wikipedia!?no youtube!?). After barely a week, experienced having the message "Unfortunately, System Launcher has STOPPED." Pressed the OK button but the message kept popping up everytime. After doing a hard reset by simultaneously pushing the volume up and power keys(did a research on my mom's slow as mollasses but trusty tablet),tab booted to the original rom and upon initial startup,I declined downloading the latest "stable" version of MiUI. Experienced minimal stopping but to be sure,I downloaded one of the generally recommended laucher from PlayStore which was Nova. MiPad experience was very exhilirating as with its crisp display. Gaming was joy. Handled every conceivable "heavy" game I could play(had Asphalt 8,Nova 3 and Real Racing as ranking the heaviest among other games like COC). Sadly,one afternoon while playing,tablet suddenly blacked out. Black screen but capacitive keys ON.Occasionally experienced it a few days before that but very minimal.My default solution back then was to reset the pad by long pressing on the power key but that day the problem was persistent until on my third reset the pad completely shut down. Not even doing a hard reset got it back on. Took it to the service center for warranty after just more than a month(Unit replacement was only good for 7 days upon purchase so had to settle for Service warranty. Tech diagnosed it with possible Mainboard replacement. Although the technician guaranteed it was FREE OF CHARGE for up to 1 year I cannot help but feel disappointed. What if this happened on a frequent basis? What if the tab bricks beyod the warranty after that? What could have gone wrong? Was it because all the downloaded apps were in 16Gb internal storage(Had 4Gb left last time I checked. Can't transfer files to 32Gb sdcard). Still waiting for the tab for more than a week now since Service center told me they were expecting parts to be shipped by around 2nd week of November. Tomorrow will be the first day of the 3rd week. Maybe I should cut them some slack... Still very disheartening.

  • hello mike. i have used google hangouts vedio calling on my mi pad. mic and front cam both are working properly although sometime i feel like my screen flickered a little bit during call. apart from that everything is fine. i dont understand why your mi pad is not working properly in vedio calling

First, I transferred a file from MiPad to Redmi Note using ShareIt 2. After above was successful, when I tried to transfer few files from Redmi Note to MiPad in ShareIt, it completed instantly.

  • Hello vj. i think 4:3 ratio is not bad at all. i think its better than other 8 inch tablet for overall usage but the thing here is that u want only or mostly for youtube vedios and movies. For movies i can say this ratio is not at all the problem because u can use mx player and choose any ration and size to watch your movies and really movie experience on this tab is really good, specially full hd movies. so i think u will face no problem in watching movies and for comparing it to my another 8 inch tab which is lenovo yoga 2 tablet which is double the price of mi pad. yoga tab performance in full hd movies was somehow sluggish, i think due to intel chipset in it so i dont like the experience on my yoga tab although the spekaer performance was better than mi pad but in ear or headphones volume was too low on my yoga 8 inch tab so i can easily say that mi pad is very good for watching movies for the price you pay for this tab. now about youtube, As i dont watch youtube a lot on my tab but i have tested it and i found few things. first you cant watch any vedio in full screen on the tab whatever quality you choose on youtube for that vedio but its not bad at all as some user dont want the full screen just for youtube vedios. so yes there will be black borders on upper and lower part of the vedio but it will not spoil the viewing experience according to my taste. another thing which is minor issue that you cant choose 480p for your vedio on youtube atleast i cant on my mi pad. so either u have to choose 360p or 720p for the vedios because their is no option of choosing 480p quality but i think its not a problem if you have high speed internet and you can choose 720p as always. i think i have helped you as per my usage with my mi pad

  • I try to use share it apps but transferring my nba 2015 from my phone to mi pad but unfortunately, it didn't function,, do u have any suggestion about it?? Pls

  • Hi all, I am a heavy user of tablet and use it mostly for watching youtube videos and Movies. Hardly use for browsing and reading.

  • Is it possible to play NBA 2016 in this xiaomi pad????

  • android version is 4.4.4 kitkat. although the new update MIUI 7 is showing on my mi pad but i am not updating it anyrime soon as many users are complaining about low battery backup and i dont think i need to update to MIUI7 as its also based on kitkat not lolipop and everything is jyst working fine and i dont want to mess around with it .

  • its very hard to say true battery backup for example i have charged my tablet in one day or you can say from morning to midnight i need to charge my tab once but on the other hand when i was outside from home and i used my tab barely for 2 hours a day and i charged my tab around 4 days after means it can go upto fpur days for very minimal use or may be just 12 hours of usage and you need to charge it like i was playing games yesterday and using wifi on 75% brightness and nearly 2 hours of gaming and battery dropped 25 percent so its normal. so its very hard to say on battery backup it just depend on many things like background app, screen on time , brightness level, intense gaming and many other factors but overall battery backup is satisfactory .

  • ooh yess just one thing i bought it from flipkart in 10k INR blue version not from amazon. so i guess every mi pad has same display. so dont worry and enjoy your pad as i am using mine specially gaming is too good. And onee thing guyzz if everyone wondering for a case which look awsome and do the job just buy QinD case- royal blue colour from proelite accessories or anywhere you find it. it will cost 800INR. i know all of you will think its very costly bcoz i was thinking the same but ordered it and to my surprise its reaaly reaaly good in this price as you all know all the accesseries for mi pad is costly because of low availabilty so ill suggest you all to buy this case only in royal blue color. you'll aal love it and its the best case right now for the mi pad

  • everything is okay but doesn't support xender ,how can update miui version7 please help

  • what is the android version if it?

  • hello Hari. i read lot of people are complaining about the display. I think its vary from person to person. yes i have bought mine from amzon few days ago. i felt the same thing as everyone is saying. some says that no xiaomi is using differnt display manufacture so it may be or may be not the case as i have seen a review of my pad which was 1 year back and in the review i didnt saw the mi pad display as whitishh as people are complaining that it was better at start and worst now. now to clarify things properly as my experience and prospective i can clarify few things. first of all the display is not at all low quality or faulty as everyone is thinking. because i have used lenovo yoga @ 8 inch tablet and i can asuure you that the whites on the yoga tablet was very good. i mean i have just compared the display with the yoga 2 tablet with my mi pad and i find these things 1.yoga 2 8inch tablet display was brighter and more whitish as compared to our mi pad. so i think the whites everyone wants from the mi pad is in the lenovo tab hust exact white and bright for everyone liking. 2. but now the main thing yoga tablet was brighter in settiings part where it seems more white and brighter in full brightness and even in half brightness but when i started comparing the high quality wallpapers in both the tab now here the things changes dramatically. the mi pad showing good colours overall and the overall i was feeling to look more on my mi pad more than yoga tab. I agree that mi pad has better resolution and more ppi than yoga tab still mi pad is more cheap and providing overall better resolution and ppi. so you can understand yourself only the whiteness and more brightness is not only the most important thing. 3. now i played full hd movie on both the tab same time. here as always in brightness and whiteness the yoga tab was ahead but again the lag free and super smooth experience and overall better colours was in my mi pad. 4. now finally gaming i have played modern combat 4. gta san andreas, and asphalt 8 and i can assure you the colours and effects of this tab is better than any tab unser 20 thousand rupees. now to clarify you more about display one thing i need to share that i have redmi prime 2 which i have bought 1 month ago. at that time display was more whitish and slightly brighter in display settings. as i dont remember the exact miui version. but when i updated redmi 2 prime to another miui update then to my surprise battery life slightly improved but the display became yellowish somehow and after changing to different settings standard to vivid but nothing helps. at start it seems its a fault but as i said it was more whtish before the update so i just want to point out one thing by all that everyone is keep saying that display is faulty and may be differnt manufacture but i have understand one thing that the display is as it is meant to be on the mi pad and clearly better than any other android tablet in the price range. may be some pppl will differ from my opinion but guyz you really need another tablet like i have yoga 2 tablet to understand the things clearly. I agree with the fact the during browsing the white sheet or during reading some ppl may feel a bit yellowish or feel it as faulty because they are not used to it but its not a fault i guess i have clarify above. you can do one thing just use your tablet in full brightness for few days for everything like browsing gaming movies. then reduce brightness to half after few days so it may help you all to be used to it but i can say only thing from my experience that this display is very good. slightly yellow-yess but fauty not at all. i hope i have helped you. ohh and i forgot to tell i have HTC one E8 which has very good white and bright display or i can say exactly the whites which one everyone will want or i should choose :p but even i love my mi pad because i know exactly what i got and what i paid. so worth it and can used to sightly yellowish display in settings other than that everything like gaming, movie and overall usage is just perfect for price

  • Hi friends, I received mi pad yesterday from Amazon. Display seems to be dull /yellow tint /warm. Not able to correct this by settings or any apps. I am not comfortable to read in this display. Please let me know any body facing this issue who bought in flipkart? I am planning to return and order it in flipkart. Is it OK or I will go with Ipad mini 2?

I will update my review if I get it soon :) it will come at tommarow I think so. .... .....

  • Am so proud on my mipad

  • It has WiFi direct, of course you can project the display on a tv

  • MIUI 7 out now. Still Kitkat... Maybe this tablet will get Lollipop when there's Android 7 or 8 already.

  • Does it supporT dongle connected to OTG?

  • This the best tablet you can buy with just Rs13000.That's the flipkart price.The back is slippery so get a good case/cover for it.The back gets super hot when you play alot of games.It rises upto 48 degrees.But near the front camera only.THIS TABLET IS WORTH BUYING.That's my opinion.Thanks for reading!

  • All features are so good and i will buy it but only drawback is that it does not have sim support. If it would have thw sim support then i would absolutely buy it. My request to xiaomi phones that please make a gsm supported version of this phone. Thnks

  • I cant use my share it on this phone??? i dont know why

  • This tablet is very slippery so make sure to buy a nice, grippy case. Micro USB port position is a con for me. It is at the bottom of the tablet meaning I can't lay down and put it on my stomach while a flash drive is connected.

  • Can you project mi pad on tv and how?

  • Hi folks, Advice me if we can use data card or Dongle on this MI tablet.

  • First send an appointment or thing from my pad to other mobile then you can send files to mad as hotspot of the mobile is activated (mi pad does no have wifihotspot)

  • My device didn't find any updates either (I live in Finland and the version was 6.11 something), but I just updated it manually Works great now, had to remove some caches or something from crashing mail program though (im not expert, through the app options in menu), that solved the crashing problem and now it's working perfectly.. MIUI 7 is coming too, but it's most likely still based on Android 4.4.4.

  • no

  • Does it support mobilephone hotspot?

  • Google PlayStore apps can be installed. Download the setup file/.apk from internet and copy to MiPad then open same file from MiPad for installation. WhatsApp can be installed and registered by using the mobile number, receiving the text message and either manually input the registration code (on MiPad) that you received on your mobile device or choose the call verification option. Connect to Wi-Fi for MIUI updation.

  • Tab is working superb but couldnt found how to upgrade miui new system upgrade No option of upgrading system in setting menu!!! Any help

  • Can i use hotstar in Mipad?

  • After the last update on mi pad radio was come but after two days radio was missing how can I get radio back

  • Its pretty good at low-light/dark. Not so good in the sun though - Mainly because the surface is highly reflective. Increasing the brightness will solve the problem. Overall - Damn good for reading. Worth it.

  • yes it support whatsaap.. but no sim cardoption. but we canregister whatsapp by the helpof an other mobile. and it can also add128gbmicrosd. fantastic display. ibought this from flipkart. Rs.9999. nowone weekover.. perfectly alright. betterthan my ipad mini

  • Hi, How is the display in low light conditions? Is it good? Is there any back light bleeding which is causing eye pain during low light reading. Whether led back light is off at dark conditions? I am planning to buy mainly for reading pdf documents. How is experience in using Adobe Reader? is that app is working without any clitches? How comfortable it is in holding? Is it too heavy weight?

  • This is not a cellular/GSM device......Data connectivity through Wi-Fi only......You cannot use apps like Whatsapp on this device......Such apps requires your mobile number to be registered which is not possible too....

  • I bought the mipad for its performance it is working well but I'm very disappointed on the software support until now no official upgrade to lollipop while nvidia shield tablet the same chipset is up to date. This is a Chinese tablet there good at copying things almost exactly the same why just they copy the software from the shield to ease their burden of making their own program! 😂

  • For issues for file transfering using bluetooth u can download es file explorer.

  • With the recent update to MIUI version 6.7.2.0, its even got FM radio now.

  • Yes, it doesn't support some apps. Mainly because of screen ratio which is same as iPad and these apps are designed for standard Android screen ratio. But most of the apps work. It's a great tablet.

  • Hey folks ...I recently bought this super MI Pad ....Was in a lot of confusion which one to buy....compared all others ...DELL HP Samsung ...but this one from MI is a superb offering in this price range. Now I wanna go step by step with all the pros n cons listed below: PROS: Coming to Pros this MI Pad has a lot in store. > Awesome display with Resolution of 1536 x 2048 pixels (~324 ppi pixel density (equal to iPad mini 2)) and gorilla glass 3 actually gives u a very nice experience for movie, videos and gaming. It supports full HD (1080p) so a very rich experience in viewing your fav stuffs. > For me 7.9 inches is just a nice size for reading. This size is good for handling. 7 inches is little bit shorter for reading and more than 9 is just too much too handle (This is my personal view) . Both the thumbs fit perfectly well for 7.9 inches and give u a nice experience for typing, playing games and doing your stuffs. > Latest MIUI-6 interface by the MI is very good and gives u a nice experience (New product contain older version MIUI-5 but as soon as you will connect it with wi-fi it will automaticaly ask for update to the latest MIUI-6). Many complain about MIUI interface being not so user friendly but seriously I don't have any issues regarding it and even found it is to be too gud a interface. > Camera: Rear-8 MP and front-5MP. Nice one. In this price range you wont find this MP for rear and front. Nice Experience. > I personally found Sound quality of the speakers very good. A good music listening experience. And also there are sound enhancement options. So you can customize as per your own wish. With a nice in-ear phones u get a gud experience. (MI doesn't provide one with this pad...!!!!!!!! (but that doesn't matter coz who uses a provided one coz all companies provide a cheap one!!!) So you have to buy.) > PERFORMANE: Here comes to most amazing thing about this Pad. IT IS A BEAST IN THIS CATEGORY. With Nvidia Tegra K1 chipset, Quad-core 2.2 GHz Cortex-A15 CPU and ULP GeForce Kepler (192 cores) GPU this PAD is a top scorer among all others available in the market. It comes with 2GB RAM (not available in othres in this price range and configuration) I am personally very happy with the gaming experience. It just gives a superb performance. Even though running on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) there may be a little problem with memory usage and u may feel it is lagging as it eats up a lot memory for running the device. But there is a "MEMORY OPTIMIZATION" feature available and once u set it on High the problem gets resolved and it works fine. > Battery back up very good. 6700 mAH battery is long lasting and fit for a heavy use. > Comes with a wifi connectivity ONLY. No cellular. No 3G Dongle. Cellular connectivity does not matter for me in a Pad. But I personally wanted to have atleast 3G connectivity so that I can have an option to connect to net. A little disappointed in this area. But hey with this price range Its OK!!!!!!!!!!!! You can use your mobile for wifi connectivity through hotspot. So NO BIG DEAL. > Finish is nice. Back side plastic casing is bit slippery so you have to handle it very carefully (u may feel plastic casing kind a cheap having a thought for iPad mettle finish. But hey!!! look at the price range!!!!!!!!!). > OTG support is also provided so u can connect ur pendrive and hard disks. OTG cable is not provided with the pad by MI so u have to buy it. (I personally haven't used it as my OTG cable is on the way..!!) CONS: Now coming to cons i will quickly summerise them (as there aren't many!!!!) >No Cellular connectivity. No Dongle connectivity. (as already said not cellular but I personally wanted to have 3G connectivity so a little bit problem.) But hey with so many other features its NOT a BIG DEAL. > A little bit heating problem at the back near camera WHEN IN A HEAVY USE ( and not all the time!!!!) due heavy processors and poor choice of back cover material Plastic which doesn't allow heat to spread all over and causes problem. >Slippery back cover so have to handle carefully. > Eats up a lot of RAM but this can be solved by memory optimization feature. > No headset or ear phones are provided by MI so u have to buy one. ( but for me who uses a provided one!!!!!!!) > Big capacity battery so takes up a little more not much more time to charge. MI should have provided a faster charging facility. So FINALLY.... a gud exprience with this MI PAD. recommend it if ur price range is arnd 13K (personal opinion). Till now quite satisfied with the product.

  • no, it doesnt have those embeded apps that you have said. but of course its supported. btw, this tab is great for gaming! battery life is superb, if you know how to take care of it properly.

  • Hi folks, I wanna ask some question. Does it support social media application like BBM, Path, Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram by default install from Google Play Store without installing it manually from .apk files? Thanks for the answer. Have a good day.

  • Hi, I have read somewhere online that 'MI pad' does not support some applications (NDTV,TimesOfIndia) ? is it true? if yes what is solution for that? I want to buy it mainly for study purpose. Does it support apps like The hindu newspaper,Pocket,Evernote etc? and is there any chance that mi pad 2 ll be launched soon? Kindly Consider the request.

Does it support apps like The hindu newspaper,Pocket,Evernote etc? and is there any chance that mi pad 2 ll be launched soon? Kindly Reply asap.

  • what do you think Mi pad or Lenovo Tab S8 i know there are many differences in spec but they are at the same price level

  • I have also dongle and install ES file manager but still now i cannot connect my dongle for using 3G.

  • it's can only connect other phone hot-spot.

  • Bought this unit last April, and here are some remarks: - Love the NVidia Tegra choice on this device! It barely crashed for games with high requirements - Cameras are mediocre, hardly use them though, no complaints - Additional storage pod up to 128 GB, like it, I can store as many books as I want - Sound quality? Mediocre, but it's not a pain in your ears anyways - Battery stamina? Superb! Wait, it's at first! After few months, it seems to give up easily; can't really tell, most of the times I play games with loud speakers on it, it might be the cause of its battery drain - No GSM connection? Hello, it's only $250 device with magnificent processor & graphic processor! You want GSM? Go for Samsung Tab then, otherwise if GSM connection would add $30 to this unit, I might steer away to Nokia N1 - MiUI is a mess, page arrangements is pain in the neck if you continuously switching between landscape & portrait. Solution: put a launcher! I installed Nova Launcher and Voila! You're headache is gone - MiUI (virtual) keyboard is also a dead weight here, I put in Google (virtual) keyboard, it didn't get any better. Might need somebody's input on this matter. Verdict: recommended buy folks, if you're gamers, youtube crawlers or even readers type. Side Note: still having this "what if I buy" thoughts about Nokia N1 & Nexus 9, but those two haven't landed in Indonesia yet, I'd say go with the next best thing

  • Not satisfied with the camera.

  • No cellular connectivity no need to buy

  • I am also not satisfied with the battery backup .doesn't seem like 6700mah battery

  • Install .apk file to use whatsapp

  • does mi pad have hotspot?

  • Need help my Bluetooth connection seems not working it can pair but I can't transfer a file even a kb file.

  • I have purchased mi tablet or pad 7.9inch recently from flipkart. What I found good and satisfactory is following: Tablet looks and weight, Screen resolution and Camera all awsome Problems or unsatisfactory points are below: 1)Sometimes application get hang and does not open or do required operation. It gives error application not responding. It happens frequently. 2) two times it has happened that on clicking on writing space the typing key pad does not appear especially on while surfing internet. In this case you have to close the application completely. 3) battery is not that much extraordinary as projected. This tab do not have any sim so it is expected that battery must last long but it is not so. If you are using WiFi hotspot connection from your mobile the battery drains fast. Better plugin tab and use.

  • Any comments regarding battery life mine I use internet for 30 minutes I got 92%. Is it true that battery can last long?

  • Its not true! I send and receive files in mipad! U just have to activate hotspot on other device wen u send

  • No.. Its not so.. Whatsapp only requires the mobile number to register it and send the verification code. So provide the number you want to register as your whatsapp number (even if it is not inserted in the mi pad). You just need to have the sim active in ANY phone, just to receive the verification code. Enter that code in the Whatsapp installed in yiur mi pad and you're done. That's it.

  • Guyz wb lollipop update (miui 7) whether we will b getting it or not ?? Since der is no official word about mi pad getting it or not on miui 7 china launch .

  • WIFI only

  • Really feel they should come up with the cellular version.

  • Cant transfer files with other android device by using shareit or superbeam.Any solution plz

  • in which way we can access internet on MI pad mean only via WiFi or also internet via sim

  • Can we Use Whatsapp. If yes. How?

  • You're wrong man, you can use Whatsapp, just download the apk from Whatsapp official website, install it, and confirm your mobile number by the message, that's all.

  • No you cannot. It has no SIM support so you can use WhatsApp only on the browser in the desktop mode.

  • Excellent sound via Mi Headphone. Also on speaker. Remember its not a home theater (;-)

  • Hi, Yes please install the update. It will increase the performance and boosts the speed. It's not 5.0 update. Its performance update for 4.4.4

  • Hi Sachin, Mi Pad doesn't support any SIM, so no 3G or 4G. The Pad supports only WiFi. For OTG you have to buy and dongle and can install ES File Explorer and can use your USB. Also it supports upto 128 GB storage (Micro SD card)

  • I want to know Mi Pad support 4G and OTG support? Please Help me....

  • Yes,you can.

  • can we connect 2tb hardisk without external power ?

  • oh sorry its Corning Glass Not Cornilla Glass

  • I think you don't need to put a tempered glass because with tempered glass it dulls response ability of the MI Pad any way it is already in a Cornilla Glass 3 its already scratch proof and 3 times tougher and because it's Cornilla Glass 3, it is more responsive to the touch.

  • hey guys, if you noticed the new miui update for the tab, miui 6.6.3 , anyone know the features of this update?

  • The touch capacitive buttons lost almost all sensitivities after putting on a 0.2mm tempered glass protector.Had to tap really hard and 20-30 times before it would respond.

  • No data card, only wifi. Using it for last 6 months, stable OS (MIUI5), good build quality, high res screen and low price, only thing lacking is stock android OS.

  • No.. This is not a calling Tablet(Phablet)

  • it has mini jack output for earphones or you can also go wireless via bluetooth...

  • What about sound output via earphones??

  • Any idea if it has a data sim provision?

  • Hello pls help me to download sword of king to this device. Why is that sword of king is not compatible to this device. Pls pls help need to play this game:-) tyvm :-)

  • Hello pls help me why sword of king is not compatible to this tab hope u can help me :-) pls pls tyvm

  • Can it support internet via 3G dongle???

  • I have seen that if u enable force GPU rendering in the developer options the heat generated is much reduced. Can u guys verify this in your mi pads ? By the way got a better otg cable and now I can access pen drives no problem.

  • My Query is: Whether we can use whatsapp calling feature on this tab?

  • My friend has this tab. This tab heat too much which affects gaming. But you are also getting tegra K1 which is one of the best chip set in market.

  • Bought this device and overall performance is great. I recommend this tablet for new users who doesn't need any personalisation in the device. Pros: Crisp display Best indoor brightness Gaming is Excellent Battery is great The best camera so far in tablet world Speaker is clear and loud Up to 1.2 GB free ram Browsing is a breeze Easy to use/ adjust with UI Easy to handle And so much more Cons: MIUI has a long way to go Plastic build (cause its cheaper from others) Normally heats up with moderate use (forgivable, you can have case for this) Usually heats up in the near camera part Capacitive keys and speakers is at bad position at landscape Fewer apps ( cause most apps are optimised for phones/ phablets) Unusual Stutters in some part of games (performance mode kinda fix this) There is a snap feeling in some edges (case is not perfectly fit) I just want to tell you that this tablet is the best so far IMO. The flaws given has a work around/ solution to solve it but the landscape handling. But mi pad need to work on browsing like iOS tabs does. Would rate it overall 9/10! Just gonna update you guys or help you out if there is more info.

  • I am having problems with otg access. Can't access pendrives. Anyone else having this problem ?

  • MI ni cellular plc. Launch thi same specification and gps add

  • You need to charge it for fully before using it for the first time.

  • The default launcher has that long loading time problem. I am using next launcher and it loads up the home screen in a jiffy.

  • mipad

  • Can anybody tell me which tab is better for gaming nexux 7 or mi pad ! I have tegra note its very horrible for gaming

  • Mipad consume soo much ram.all the time on pressing back button shows loading launcher .

  • Does it avails an offline map feature,?

  • For 3g via dongle, i guess u have to root your mi pad.

  • Can i use dongle for internet in only wifi set???

  • Well u should at least get 7/8 hours of moderate usage on one full charge. That means 1/2 hours intense gaming + internet on wifi for 3/4 hours + audio listening for 2 hours + video watching for 2 hours.

  • Thanx fun & masram. How 2 know dat d battery is working appropriately.

  • I had about 40% charge left when I got mine. Anyway is your mipad getting charged and lasting appropriately according to usage ? If so nothing to worry about.

  • no problem alok, same happened with mine. all is well.

  • Whether the mi pad is fully discharged when unboxed ? Today i got my mi pad delivered. But it didn't get started. When i plugged it to charge i knew that the battery is fully discharged. So i suspect whether it has any fault. Because as far as my knowledge any device initially when unboxed has some amount of charged battery. Advise if someone has any idea.

  • From 17% to 80% battery charging time took 2 hours in my mi pad.

  • From 17% to 80% battery charging time took 2 hours in my mind pad.

  • by the way charge take how long because the capacity 6700mah ....

  • To change the screen color tone use "screen adjustor" software from the playstore. I am using the same.

  • The best android tablet I have used so far.

  • The Best so Far

  • volume key of mipad doesn't work after i use this device for a day...I need to switch off the device and again it works for a day and then again i get the same issue. The volume becomes loud and uncontrollable via the volume buttoms.I thought it was due to earphone but this issue is still there when I disconnect the earphone. I have only used this device for less than a month and its irritating me. can anyone suggest me a solution?

  • I have bought a mipad a week ago and am completely unhappy with it. there is a sickening yellow hue to the screen colour.It is not at all white.I already have a galaxy tab, so I do know. Is there anyway to make the screen white. mi ui is sick again, it is very heavy and consumes more than 1.5 gb ram, so the advertised 2gb ram is a joke.Is there anyway to change the ui to a vanilla stock android like nexus? I do not want to return and get a refund because my mipad is already a replaced second unit, the first one delivered did not work at all.Very poor quality check control. I will never buy a Chinese gadget ever again.

  • I bought this recently after reading about the good specs at a bargain price. Big mistake! I feel cheated by all the hype. The UI is not intuitive. The keypad disappears whenever you want to type something. This makes the whole tablet worthless! The camera is a big joke. F2.0 aperture but the pictures are super grainy. Worse than blackberry cameras. The screen cannot be seen outdoors even when set at maximum brightness. I have an old Samsung Tab 7 2.0. Only 770MB of RAM. I am still using this instead of the MiPad. Why? I can't type properly with the vanishing keyboard on the MiPad. Lesson learnt. No such thing as cheap and good specs. Impressive specs on paper does not translate to real positive experience. Please consider the Nokia N1 and Samsung Tab S. I dont think they are as bad as this.

  • Guys i am planning to buy but i am confused among Yoga2 and MiTAB...MITAb issues :- Heating, lagging Ui,No gps, No external speakers, some play store apps, service Yoga 2 :- Restarting issue, battery Backup, screen flikers, lagging These are my investigation...so plz suggest really these are problems..and which tab u will suggest...

  • best tab for me

  • Bought from Flipkart, India. I've checked in all showrooms but non were selling MI gadgets. So I got the chance to see and feel other option tablets under the same price tag (INR 12,000). Dell's Venue 8 is the closest but it lagged to even open a browser. Other brands had very bad display quality (Micromax, Lenovo, Samsung, HCL, Acer & Asus). The best one available in showroom among all was the Lenovo Yoga 2 costing INR 5,000 more which had front facing speakers and built-in stand. GO FOR IT!! Display:- Sharpest! equal to 40K range tablet. Camera:- Not that great but better than Samsung and others I didn't see any other tab having good camera quality so far (including iPad). Heating:- Almost all the tabs were having heating issues when played games. Even 10" iPad heats up when played games. Your computer graphics card has head sink and fan to cool it down, your phone and tabs don't come with that. If you do not want to feel the heat, put a case cover.

  • Yes! Definitely. 4:3 frame is the best to read and browsing.

  • i bought mi pad7.9 its good but i found some problems scrolling timeline in facebook app is not ultra smooth just it is smooth and when we play a game and closed it it takes some time like loading launcher just 2 seconds the tab is exellent for gaming and i hope that miui will repair soon by giving an update.finally for gaming the pad is exellent i bought the pad for gaming soo i am satisfied.

  • dongle working or not in mi pad... please tell me

  • Kindly suggest if this Mi pad is good for reading purpose.

  • Have been using mi pad for about a week and its great. really good value for money. the cpu/gpu and screen combination is alone enough to justify the price. great tablet.

  • Thank you. One last thing, does this tablet support microsoft word or anything such as it. Because I wanna save my online notes in it to use in class.

  • Can support COC, no lag and very smooth..

  • Can consider, i had this device more than 1 year, heavy gaming no issue for me... continuely play game non stop can stand more than 4 hrs..

  • Yes, can play COC , no lag at all, very smooth..

  • I just wanna know one thing, does this tablet support Clash of Clans and if it is, how well does this tablet perform? I just wanna get a tablet where I can play COC with no lag or problem, thats all.

  • can someone please name the apps that are not compatible with this tab???? Thanks

  • I have this Mipad more than 4 month, with conclusion DON"T BUY this. 1. Many google play store apps show YOU DEVICE NOT COMPATIBLE! You have to install from download the APK or from other store which is not safe. 2. Overheat when gaming.You can feel the heat just start the game for 5 mins 3. Chromecast not support. (when you try to mirror your screen) 4. Camera quality in low light is terrible. Heavy noise. 5. Battery not lasting as compare ipad mini 6. Power button close to volumn button. Mistake all the time press Spend little more for other like Samsung. Xiami MiPad don't know how to make international gadget. When come to google play is suck!!!

  • You have to press real hard. I had the same issue with my Mi3

  • Go for it, if u can wait pls check htc upcoming budget tabs

  • Did this tegra k1 powered tablet gets "overheated" while playing heavy games such as gta san andrease,ppsspp games etc. Thank u in advanced!! :)

  • Hi all, I am using this for 1 week, After unboxing, i put the tab in charge 100% (Takes 2-3hrs not sure) Played 3 movies (7.5hrs) of 640x480 resolution. 10 songs-40mins, Connected a 500GB harddisk successfully. its simply superb and connecting the 500gb harddisk without problem. Copied many movies to internal storage. Copying takes like PC. Played Games for 1hr (Sudoku, Solitaire, shredder chess ie small games only). used wifi for 15 mins. still 20% batery left.

When I tested with tata photon dongle(connection through OTG cable) which doesnt support as wifi modem I was not able to connect to internet.

  • Hi..I have been reading reviews in various websites and got to know that severals apps are incompatible to Mipad due to the 4:3 aspect ratio. Is that correct and is there any work around? Planning to buy Mipad, but depending on this will take a call.

  • Mi pad is really a nice tab and worth buying at its price range but the only problem is that its having a 4:3 aspect ratio than 16:9 with tegra k1 integrated which is nonsense as there are many tegra k1 specific apps that are not supported by this tab to which I think if either nvidia releases drivers for compatibility issue of some apps or xiaomi works on it.But on a bigger note its a good tablet.

  • I purchased Mi pad but its memory card slot is not working well. I tried to eject it by inserting the pin provided with the pad in to the tiny hole. But it does not work. Any solution?

  • I recommended samsung tab or ipad if for drawing purpose (mostly ipad)

  • I was skeptic about this at first, thought it was another of those low quality Chinese product. But wow am I wrong. Bought this last week, and surprised at how well the tablet perform. Tried several games such as Implosion, Cytus, Asphlat, Modern Combat & Deus Ex and they worked without any lag at all. Sure the back of the tablet will heat up because of the constant heavy use but it won't be that bad. The battery last up to 1 day whenever I keep on playing games combine with visiting social media or listening to music. The camera, I like the front one and good for selfies if you like doing that. The camera lacks many options, like option for panorama, night scene, high iso, HDR and others.

  • Using it since 9 may, the battery seems to last a day, on extensive gaming usage.

  • Clearly the comment below is uneducated ignorant blinded fanboy whom doesn't know the potential of this device and have looks down just because its brand name. I have the Mipad and I can tell you it's definitely worth it for its price. Despite the lack of GPS and GSM hardware, the loud speaker quality and volume is great. At the moment however, MIUI software is lacking however is still updated and devoloped so it will take some time. Hardware is beast with K1 Tegra though!

  • It's a great device if you know how to customize ... Install Google Play... And then you are ready ... Great graphics great gameplay I'm able to play all the games half life 2, need for speed, call of duty and other heavy games with great gameplay experience. Only drawback is you cannot install application on the external sd card also you cannot move installed applications to external sd card. If you are unable to connect your device using usb cable just install my phone software from MIUI site. Overall this is an excellent device and I recommend it.

  • I really love this device when I got it first I got worried because I wasn't able to connect it to windows 8 PC.

  • Hi guys I have been using my pad for about a month and I must say I am very happy with the device. I an not a person who spends all the days on it and thus the battery for me is more than sufficient. To be more in numbers I charge it once in three days think two hours listening to WiFi radio = max 10% battery.. No worries going out with just 30%.. IT can last the whole day. Sorry for not giving you more precise info, never have I tested it.

  • In balanced performance mode, I had it on wifi for 2-3 hours of normal surfing. No discernible heat was generated. Will have to test by transferring larger amounts of data.

  • Would any real user pls tell me about heat generation when WiFi being activated. And would any one tell me about battery service .. I am gonna buy it but I need to know the performance about mi pad ,I have no doubt about nvidia tegra k 1 processor and it's GPU on socs but I am eagerly waiting about excessive heat production during internet using through WiFi . any body pls inform me about heat. I am expecting it from a real user

  • I am using mipad and its pretty good but it does not have the place to put sim and thats the biggest problem.

  • How to upgrade it?

  • Where you get the info that mipad had lollipop ROM? Are you user of mipad too...

  • With out sim limits the market. Try and produce the one with sim

  • why not? i use tablet only at home/office (where i have wi-fi) and if for some reason i need to use it out (where is no wi-fi) i just hotspot wifi from my smarthphone and its done...

  • without sim slots, it's of no use literally.......

  • Sorry, din check until recently. You can get it free upgrade from miui website. Or you can update the software automatically, these engineers upgrade the version constantly. ThumB's up.

  • Launched in Japan

  • People willing to buy this phone in new delhi, call this guy- Amir,9711497508. He imports all xiaomi products and sells them at reasonable prices.-

  • where can i find this tablet in south africa?

  • wow amazing chipset .. i hope this pad in indonesian and support simcard 😋 coz i love miui ... maybe many bug in miui but for me no problem coz android is the no 1st open source operating system ... go android kill the apple

  • there is internet dongle that uses sim to receive data from mobile network and creates wi-fi hotspot. that can be used with this tab

  • overall quite good except cant download video streaming from anc. dont know why maybe someone can teach me how to fix 😐

  • hello, is mipad launched in India??

  • here is a 64GB version of Xiaomi mipad,http://fr.xiaomidevice.com/xiaomi-mipad-16­go-version-nvidia-tegra.html

  • no sim card dry this is biggest failure ..... Please open sim card dry in Indian verson....

  • Amen

  • Can we move the apps from internal to external SD card ? As for Red Mi Notes, apps are not able to moved from internal to external SD card .

  • I have Mi pad and think it's great have used reset and have lost keyboard, every thing else works great but I can't key anything in. can anyone please tell me how to get it going again

  • i suggest you buy a pocket wifi. That's what i have at home.

  • please relise a tablet with 3G and sim supported because i live in village where no wi-fi .

  • The latest android operating system is Lollipop

  • may I ask where did you find the latest OS version and what is it called?

  • you can download the google+ apps from the store including the play store

  • nothing great. less game and application in chinese version. Regret buying

  • when this beast come to M'sia?

  • MiPad's note-taking capabilities? ...Anyone?

  • Yes

  • I used Ipad,Samsung,Nexus and a few more. When my buddy share with me Xiaomi Mipad. At first i laughed and thought, it was crap and chinese tech ,no matter how good it is, there should be limitation. There comes to a point my nexus crashed and I decded to look for a new Tab. I took quite a while reviewed and researched a handful with specs, features,size,new os and most importantly pricing.Trust me, weeks to find the best specs. Perhaps m the type who must own something which is the best when comes to specs and cheap price. Well, after all the reviews and most critically a video Xiaomi Mipad launching �i m convinced this is the new tab i must try. A clone of Ipads os and yet androids features. Well..let me share with you. I got my tab with lots of high expectation, imagined the best outcome but hey!,i was damn disappointed with the original os. Well, don get me wrong, there was some limitations and I was a bit down. The screens and display and others are just fine but the android or the miui os was a bit letdown. But i decided to pursue for the newer upgrade. Trust me, if you are totally new to chinese os or needs some troubleshoot, you got to prepare to google intensively,otherwise you gonna bump into deadend.After cracking my heads and finally i gotten the latest OS! Man, i got to tell you...its flawless and just a little upgrade! That tablet transfomred into something so precious! I din expect lil upgrade would made such a big difference on the tab. The fonts,screen, and even the keypad are absolutrly marvelous. Now i m ready to look after the tab after i thought its cheap chinese tab at first. No regrets after what i have gone through and paid for this lil new monster. Now i would say, this giant com will only be better with the latest OS edition. And I think they mean big business in years to come. For me i have to get used to my tab GF by the name of Xiaomi Mipad.

  • No gps, no 4G, no even 3G, no 2g...wtf??

  • this tablet with 89$ WTF?

  • this is so nd amazing.

  • Does it have HDR?

  • Why no 2g network or call support how useful is to carry such a device when laptops are used for presentations can't u put another version of mi pad costing a little higher with 2g support

  • Is it even launched anywahr.... whr can i get it guys ???

  • So, how good is it when it comes to taking notes? I've seen lots of reviews on this new tablet but they all go around the same topics, and none does mention the quality and capacity for stylus and gesture recognition, or simply raises the question as to wether it should be thought as a good note-taking device. Can anybody test that and give a decent approach on it?

  • It can run maps.. but wont suppot navigatio i think .. If u have another android device, there are many softwares that can let u use that gps in tab.. explore on intenet..

  • the hardware is great but the ui is terrible..being the first tablet and market experimentation by xiaomi, mipad lacks a lot of things and they need to sort it quick before a review of this nature comes out more and more each day.

  • when is this tablet going to launch in Indonesia???

  • Launch date for this Mipad in India was shown 31st August14in 91 mobile which proved false. When your this product shall be launched in India. People are waiting for this option.

  • when is this tablet going to launch in Inda???

  • Xiaomi tablet 14 inch

  • If liked much moore Xiaomi need to do new tablet how have to be 14 inches, minimaly 3 GB RAM and contain IGZO screen 1.Display.- 14 inches FHD - IGZO screen 2.Memory.- 3-4 GB RAM 3.Chipset.- Tegra K1 That's have to be new highnest hit generation tablets ever see

  • eee. u may either get from the official website ,for english you can choose Malaysia or Singapore etc. or from the other website :http://www.xiaomiworld.com/ which is much more expensive.

  • Frm where i can buy this....plz reply frnds

  • 'Mini' tablet is useless if there is no gsm call & text. It is better to carry one device that does everything than 2 separate devices.

  • It would surely be a big hit in india

  • It doesn't have GPS!!! What the heck...

  • Just look at the video on youtube comparing this to ipad mini. Yes its fast but its choppy when scrolling some webpage compared to ipad mini with buttery smooth experience. But still for the price and look i would buy one.

  • y no GPS :/

  • SIM is not 100% necessary. You can use your mobile phone's internet connection and use tethering to provide internet to the tablet.

  • it is a best but with out sim how it can connect to net always? Please give me reply

  • I like this tablet

  • Brighness of 64gig variant of mi pad is better than 16 gig variant(have to always keep it full).. please confirm..

  • I sure would! Simply use your phone as a portable hotspot... boom!

  • Since it is named apple of China. We expect nice quality. Waiting for launch on 30th August.Hope Xiaomi shall come up to expectations.

  • I highly doubt a K1 in a tablet like this is very likely to face lag. No questions asked im buying this.

  • A Tab without 3G option. would you buy one?

  • Definitely its worth the price you are paying, but if we talk about portability of the tablet it should independently have its own signal reception, on the move. Otherwise it defeats the purpose for what its meant to be, unless you are only using it for reading books. These days even the games need internet to compete with friends round the world. Don't you agree?

  • Hey, There are many tablets 7'-8' and even 10 inches running on 3000-5000mah batteries and they do give you a decent amount of backup in 7inch ones and it drains fast in the 10 inch tablets. 6700mah is the best that you can give in an 8inch tablet and Xiaomi has done it. If it was 8000 or 9000 mah batteries it will be too heavy to carry around. I do agree with you - They could have provided 3G/4G but at this spec and price range its acceptable. Maybe they thought about Google's project loon and they didn't include it.

  • Look at the config first.....do u think 192 core k1 processor will face lag ??

  • You can use wifi tethering & pair it with your mobile phone with internet connection, then you can use the GPS navigation.

  • Without GPS can it run maps?? If yes will it support navigation??

  • without gps is it possible to use maps???

  • hello there..As mi pad will be launching soon in India..I m thinking to buy it.. But I have some doubts... from most of the review videos of mi pad the display seem to be low on brightness.. so.. Is the display bright enough?? And does MIUI face any lags in daily operations?? Users please reply..

  • Why not sim slot and 3G/4G. From a long time I'm lookingfor long duration battery backup device, while I got but no sim slot, I'm very shoked. Again I've to wait. It is good measurement for android- that If display 7" so battery should be 7000 mAh If display 8" so battery should be 8000 mAh If display 5" so battery should be 5000 mAh If the all company abide by thses rule , we have no need carry charger in pocket always. Thanks. [email protected]

  • It doesn't has GPS It has 4.4.2 and can be updated to 4.4.4 look up in the xda forum post

  • for those who had Mi Pad 7.9, could you confirm that 1. it has GPS? 2. The Android OS is 4.4.2 kit-kat?

  • Thats what we want right?? All master program from best smartphone or tablet become all in one!the best part is of course the price but we got what we wan from other devices! admited it!

  • How is the battery life?...

  • lucky you.

  • i heared that this tablet does not have Proprietary data connector ?? what does it mean by that .. can anyone answer this . thank you

  • i heared that this tablet does not have Proprietary data connector ?? what does it mean by that .. can anyone answer this . thank you

  • I got it yesterday - incredible tablet. I owned Samsung Note 10.1 N8000 before and will never get back to their devices. MiPad is greater in every aspect ;)

  • Would this have stylus input?

  • This tablet has the best gpu in the world(nvidia tegra k1).

  • The color rendition aren't based on 5c. its based on their mi2 product which came long before 5c

  • I used to like Xiaomi products before this Mi Pad designs comes out. Same 5 color as 5C, are you serious? Using exactly same 6 colors? I can still accept it uses exactly the same size, resolution as ipad mini, extremely similar looking as ipad mini, but why using the exactly same 6 color!? At least change it a little bit! I am using Mi 3 phone now and feel horrible that using a Xiaomi product since it can copy that much from Apple. Xiaomi is so rich now, there is no point for them to copy that much at all. Xiaomi doesn't believe it can have some ok designers to do something good for them at all.

  • Terga K1 is the best ever chip set in the world... Adreno 805 And Newest Exynos chip set are in second place as benchmark tests..

  • hi ,this gorgeus tablet has a gps?

  • Well in my opinion the 2012 nexus 7 was better than the 2014 version, yeah then2014 had slight better specs, but I'm moreninto gaming, the tegra 3 chip ran smooth anyway and better than the snapdragon chips used in the 2014 and the tetra chips have more games optimised for them..... And the k1 kicks tegra 3 ass!!! So the answer is go with the k1

  • With hands on experience i can definitely tell you this is a great tablet especially when you consider the price. Not only is the hardware up to scratch especially that K1 and the gorgeous screen, the interface is snappy clean and responsive. I too thought maybe the build quality would be a bit on the bad side, turns out to be sturdy enough to handle me and I'm pretty damn clumsy. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the glossy white plastic but as long as design doesn't get in the way of functionality its all good with me. Xiaomi have had no problems admitting they have used ideas from other company's nothing is ever original and i never saw a problem on working off other designs. At least there copying quality devices calling it copying outright is a stretch, yeah okay the aesthetics have similarities but what tablets don't, they all pretty much share similar aesthetics but what about the UI, hardware, manufactures software which lets be honest can make or break a phone regardless of specs. Take HTC sense or Samsung TouchWiz etc. you can go out and by two phones from competitors with pm same specs and both rocking android, you need more than aesthetics of the phone to separate them. Anyway before i carry on rambling, its a good device I suggest to pick one up it wont set you back too much even when it comes to the west i don't imagine the prices to go much steeper

  • Your right! The home button just made me angry!

  • Definitely nexus 7. The xiaomi mi pad is just a tablet that copied from every single successful mobile device manufactor. Look close and you will see Apple htc and samsung. Hardware is also an issue. The quality is just disasterous. Just don't even think about buying it! Trust me. I don't want to see another victim of xiaomi'a junk product!

  • When will it come to Malaysia? Please hurry up before I change my mind...

  • if xiaomi going to launch another version of MiPad 7.9 with supporting GPS and 3G (can insert sim card), definitely i will buy this device.

  • do you know how can i buy official version of 64 mi pad?really love it...

  • I've got the test vision of XiaoMi Pad.In summary,Xiao Mi Pad is A funking good Pad,you'll love it when you got one,I can't leave it for one minute if I'm free.Like my Xiao Mi 3.Many of my friends trying to own it when the official version come to us. Trust me ,you worth it

  • this hands down.all you need to worry about is warranty hardware issues if you dont have a person to repair in your country.Software can be fisxed at home in most cases

  • Check it out!

  • I'm comparing this with google nexus 7, since its relatively close price, which one do you think is better guys ?

  • Best Damn Thing! Definitely will buy it on incoming months (maybe August); native support for H265 is no joke:D

  • Best tablet for emulators

  • it needs LED flash

  • Mi Pad does come with GPS functionality!

  • its a monster

  • no gps??? wooow - no way :(((

  • iPad mini 2 killer :)

  • no sim slot and 3G !! gotta be kidding me.

  • This is the best device to own, very low cost!

  • Except for the price which they didn't copy :P OWNED!

  • Same design factor as of iPad Air. Everybody copy from Apple. Oh my God. More I love Apple that everybody tends to follow them.

  • Awesome.. finally a good device with presumably reasonable price. Better than money sucking apple products :-)

  • lawsuit

  • iPad mini ripoff. Same screen size. Similar name (MiPad/iPad). Same pastel colors. I thought Xiaomi was better than this. Disappointing.

  • to all the people above who are comparing this to the ipad mini...remember this is a chinese device and as usual looks a copy in the design of the ipad...i doubt the thing will last 2 months without you having to take it to the repair shop...ipad rules

  • Wow! A better Ipad Mini or a better Ipad Mini 2. The specifications are good. Is it will be available global or in selected countries?? If this is a budget tablet, I'm sure it will be famous just like Motorola Moto E and also this tablet is good for selfies and picture taking.. This tablet rocks!!!

  • Everything is greet for this pad, but need only IGZO display

  • Godlike. My ipad mini retina is shiverimg

  • Does Mi-pad support Nvidia DirectStylus?

  • Does Mi-pad support Nvidia DirectStylus?

  • wow! i am sure that xiaomi will be on of the best companies in a period of time :) BTW this tablet Rocks !!

  • Well...chinese started making really amazing devices,including this one...but it`s sill too-much-IPAD-lookalike!

  • Wow! the specs are good!... I'm sure this will be a performance monster. I want one.

  • Wow, a cheap Nvidia tegra Tablet

  • OMG...the specs!!! this is one hell of a monster...xiomi...u r awsome..!!!

  • attack on xiaomi

  • Superb specs.I don't know anything about the company but certainly this will beat the nexus 7 2013.

  • Superb specs.I don't know anything about the company but certainly nexus 7 is now gonna go down

  • will this tablet be available on global market for ex. in Austria??

  • Better, but one mistake,no GSM/LTE support.

  • Android version of iPad Mini

  • would have been great if it was a gsm device

  • The Specs are Excellent for a Tab. Got to have this one. :-)

  • super cool , good to see new companies competing with giants
