Xiaomi MiPad is a good choice? - Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers

Hello!
I want to buy a new tablet. Xiaomi MiPad 64GB is worth his price? Or maybe choose a different model? I have $350 for tablet and bt keyboard + powerbank for him. By the way, you could also recommend a bluetooth keyboard for this tablet. What do you think about it?

Its an amazing choice! and with such a price! no other tablet can beat it right now.
nevertheless you should wait a little now for the next Mi Pad to come out.

Didnt see the date this was posted hehe.. delete me

Suggestion for tablets?

I'm looking yo purchase a tablet in the near future. Mostly just to watch movies and play games. I'm probably not willing to spend more than 150.
I'm currently looking at the ASUS MeMO Pad 7 ME176CX-A1
You can check Lenovo Idea Tab A5500 or if you can get a Xiaomi Mi Note.
Nexus 7 2013 or samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0. Sticking to your price range,I wouldn't bother with anything else.
I just picked up a asus me572c at best buy for 150. So far I am pretty happy with it besides a problem between it and Bluetooth controllers. Screen is great and the specs are better than the me176 you mentioned. I did like the form factor of the galaxy tab 4 7 . the bezels are kinda large on the me572c. But just wanted better specs than the tab 7.
The Nexus 7 best tablet you can buy for the price in my opinion as has is always up to date on android version an is not too big and not too small
Buy one of the Nexus tablets for sure , great price, great ROM & Kernel variety , easy to root , why wouldn't you choose Nexus And they last longer
Grab a nexus if your videos and games are small. If they're 1080p and 1GB games, consider something else, as the Nexus doesn't have a MicroSD slot.

I recently bought "I am Cardboard 2.0", but i haven`t got it yet. I`ll let you know when i tested it. people say it`s the best "non-expensive vr" like the 100 bucks Samsung VR or Sony`s 500$ device

Hmm thanks guys for your suggestions!!!I think that I can give 50 Euros,not cheaper than this and not more.I just dont understand what is the difference between VR glasses.I know some are more comfortable to wear but what other difference?And I think I need a VR with Bluetooth gamepad included as many games require it
Is this one good? http://www.plaisio.gr/tilefona/wear...rtphone-VR-Headset-Bluetooth-Remote-Leuko.htm

Get the Mi Pad 2 then. If you're alright with probably never seeing Android N on Mi Pad 2.

would be rooting anyway and installing custom rom, would rather have Mi Pad 1 for sd slot.

Valid point. Cheapest option is to buy one on Ebay, but you need someone to ship it from Italy (the sellers only ship domestically).

found one in UK store(second hand) for £90.
My journey with the Mi Pad has been short lived. Tried to repartition and install tomorrow and bricked it. Took it back to cex and got money back and bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0:good:

Mediapad M5 or Xiaomi Mipad 4

I'm really thorn in between these 2 choices... Currently the Mipad 4 LTE variant is still not available in China... Considering if should wait for it or go with the Mediapad M5... Liked the dual speakers and the higher resolution on the M5 but the Mipad 4 price is hard to beat... Any advise ??
I end up cancel the LTE MIPAD 4 order (i guess no stock available) and buy M5. The price differrent is not alot for me as i order Mipad 4 from China compare to now buying M5 from my country), the different is approx 50-70 usd.
If you can live with the bluetooth wifi issue, M5 better choice which has better dual speakers in more ideal position (for landscape mode and sound quality), fingerprint reader. Mipad4 has slightly bigger battery, 3.5mm jack and more portable in term of the size.
Kirin960 vs SN660 ( no sure about this, antutu result show kirin960 slightly better)
OS wise no really sure, never use xiaomi and huawei, i hope both still can receive monthly security update at least for another 2 years.
Both are good tablets for me, i hope the bluetooth wifi issue wont bother me lot since i plan to use LTE network most of the time.
im not sure which one is better for me as well. I do not like the huawei android version and i do not like the mi pad 4 android version. So for custom roms i think the mi pad 4 will be better than the mediapad m5. BUT the mediapad m5 already got an unofficial version of lineageos which surprises me a lot. Not sure how many developers will grab the mi pad 4... So i might will wait some more time before i make my decision...
I will mainly use it for PDF reading and i am not sure if they are good for it, both have an aspect ratio of 16:10, i think. Not perfect for reading...
Not sure if the higher resolution of the m5 will have an impact on how the papers will look like. All the reviews, especially the chinese / asian ones, focus on gaming. It looks like all of them use it just for gaming...
@dopefish1337 I bought the m5 8.4 some weeks ago and I am quite happy with it. Does the Mi Pad4 come with Project Treble enabled? If not there is no doubt what device to choose otherwise the Mi Pad costs less but also provides less ...

Could you please explain what do you mean by saying "Bluetooth wifi issue"?
Look here for Bluetooth wifi issue.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/help/wifi-speed-slow-bluetooth-t3767604
Conclusion they don't work well together. Poor wifi and poor Bluetooth..

No update fix after all these months?
No. It is probably a chip or antenna issue.

So that's the reason I will not buy MediaPad M5.
Thank you so much for your quick replies.
Well if that's a bummer for you then find another. Samsung is mostlikely great and twice the price. Xiaomi may have the same issue.
Anyhow, the MediaPad is a really great and very affordable tablet. I like it.
People need to understand that the wifi/Bluetooth issue has been solved just use 5ghz frequency on wifi and they both work fine simultaneously!

Maybe people don't have 5ghz router. It is still a shame for Huawei Tablets to have such an issue. It is not a super cheap 100$ Chinese tablet.
I have no problems with bluetooth and wifi on 2.4ghz
Had the Mi Pad 4 for 2 days and got rid of it immediately. I would like to have the option to make calls. No luck with the Mi Pad. The face unlock is godawful on the Mi Pad 4. There is no fingerprint sensor, so you constantly need to swipe your unlock code. The Gboard keyboard does not support popup keys and the tablet does not vibrate. So there is no visual or haptic feedback to typing, really weird. It is fast, memory ist double compared to the Mediapad, the screen is ok, sound is ok but overall, the Mediapad beats the Mi Pad in every category. For media consumption you also have to live with no HD on Netflix and Prime. It's worth to shell out the extra Dollars for the much better overall experience.
Just buy a xiaomi mi router 3 (100m wam) (20$) or 4 (1gb wam) (30$) and connect it with 5ghz, seriously, 2,4ghz is kinda pointless at this point

Still worth it or too wait?

Hi im considering getting a Mi Pad plus. I really the the Specs of the Rumoured 5 plus. Heare in Brazil I can pick up a new 4 plus for about $120 US. . mainly going to use it for Raw etc photo editing on the go rather than a laptop and movie watching . I have a X2pro that i will have my my fps games on.
is it worth it or wait.
If 120$ is for 4GB version , buy it. If only 3GB, please find information about new redmi pad. It will be much better, but price will have to be bigger too.
