Xiaomi Pad 7 vs iPad Air
However, Xiaomi Pad 7 is a bigger tablet packing 11.2” panel and a 3200×2136 resolution backed by 144hz refresh rate and 800 nit peak brightness.
Xiaomi’s stylus looks eerily similar to the Apple Pencil. Powering the Pro version is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor but the non-Pro variant has Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor.
You can opt to get one with 8/128 GB, 8/256 GB, and 12/256 GB. Xiaomi offers a beefier 12/512 GB variant for the Pad 7 Pro.
Xiaomi has clearly beaten Apple on the price front though.
8 GB + 128 GB – 2000 yuan ($280)
8 GB + 256 GB – 2300 yuan ($320)
12 GB + 256 GB – 2600 yuan ($365)
Pro 8 GB + 128 GB – 2500 yuan ($350)
Pro 8 GB + 256 GB – 2800 yuan ($390)
Pro 12 GB + 256 GB – 3100 yuan ($435)
Pro 12 GB + 512 GB – 3500 yuan ($490)
And if the company decides to bring it to Europe or US, it will be go head to head with Samsung and Apple tablets. For now, it is available only in China.
