Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 Review: Cheap Windows 10 Tablet

Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 test: The tablet offers Windows 10 – besides the Chinese there is also an English version. A American license would have to be retrofitted.


Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 on test: The equipment


The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is available once as an Android and once as a Windows 10 version. We looked at the latter in the test. The tablet with 7.9-inch display and other exciting specs is available for just over 200 Euro among other things at the Chinese online shop Gearbest including shipping. In addition, shipping fees are not charged if you choose "Priority Line" at the end of the order. In this case, however, the waiting time for the import can take up to 15 days. There are no customs fees.

Alternatively, there is currently also the possibility of shipping from the EU warehouse of the Chinese online shop. Then you pay 2.83 Euro shipping, but wait much shorter for your delivery.


Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 Review: The Conclusion


The order of the China tablet is worthwhile. Why? You can see the following review!


The full-metal body tablet is 7.9 inches in size, therefore comes with an Intel Atom X5-Z8500 quad-core processor, offering 2GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM. Bluetooth? WiFi? Of course on board. The IPS display with rich 2048 x 1536 pixels on and comes on neat 326 PPI. Very modern: A USB-C connector is installed at the bottom. Since some high-price tablets can not keep up. The dimensions? 200.4 x 132.6 x 6.95 mm. Add to this a great weight of only 322g. Compared to its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 weighs 38g less and is 18% thinner. Not a bad starting point so. By the way: the battery 6190 mAh enough power for many hours of tablet fun. The built-in cameras - 8 megapixels and 5 megapixels nominally strong - are, however, maximally for Skype.


Let's start outside. The processing is really excellent. Here the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 plays in the first league. The metal body feels great, the tablet is super in the hand. Here you can almost imagine in spheres of Samsung and Apple. The processing is - it is hard to believe - really terrific. Great praise to you, Xiaomi!


Something disappointing compared to the predecessor is the missing microSD slot. However, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is not alone on the far floor. Because the smartphones Xiaomi has facilitated a microSD reader. It's a pity, but in itself no reason not to give the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 a chance.


Let's go to the screen. The resolution is top and even better is the PPI (pixel per inch). For comparison, while the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 creates 326 PPI, the Surface Pro 4 is only 264 PPI. The screen is extremely sharp. And that's him. Although it is not quite as bright as the competitors from the more expensive houses, but somewhere must be cut back.


Tip: Tablet deals still until December 26 at Gearbest


The hook for the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is the 2 GB RAM. In Windows 10, the tablet in the multitasking quite quickly to sweat. Many concurrent tasks should be avoided. Even with a few open tabs in Google Chrome, the processor utilization is about 70%. 4 GB of RAM would have been the better choice. But you have to know that Google Chrome is not necessarily optimized for Atom processors. If you do not have to rely on Chrome, you should actually get Edge. Here the experience is much better. Also the tablet comes with more open tabs. In general, you have to say: If you use software optimized for Atom processors, you get a really decent tablet.


From the start to the shutdown Windows 10 on the Mi Pad 2 works really outstanding. As I said before: Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Edge and Co. should not have opened at the same time - but then also many other tablets in the knee. For most standard applications - office, surfing, a little gambling - the power of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is sufficient. League of Legends or Counterstrike: Global offensive, for example, work perfectly with customized graphics settings.


One of the most important points for a tablet is, of course, the battery life. And that can be really real. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 lasts about ten hours, if you only surf. If you switch off the WiFi and watch a few videos, you should go even further. This is because Xiaomi does not have a 3,000 or 4,000-mAh battery, as usual in the 7.9 or 8 inch tablet region, but more than 6,100 mAh.



The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is for almost 200 euros a real bargain. The processing quality left nothing to be desired, the Atom processor is quite sufficient for most Tablet users and the display a real force. Something disappointing is that the device can be quite hot under enormous load. As I said: only under enormous load. The Otto-Normal user will probably never feel such heat. Honestly? If you want to surf on the couch a bit, sometimes e-mails write or a little zockt, the is with the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 completely adequately served and does not have to spend more money, just so that does not just Xiaomi, but Apple or Samsung and
