The Xiaomi Mi Pad was the world’s first ever NVIDIA Tegra K1 device. Which meant it was plenty powerful, and thanks to Xiaomi being the makers, it was very much in the budget of many a buyer as well. Xiaomi also launched the Mi 3 for China Mobile with the NVIDIA Tegra 4, but apparently the young OEM from China will give NVIDIA a ditch for Intel for the next installation of the Mi Pad.
Purported leaked images of the device surfaced earlier today in China. The design looks visibly this time round; the current Mi Pad takes a lot from the Apple iPad mini in terms of design. The new design is less angular and looks more like a bloated up smartphone than a full-fledged tablet, but continues to have the same 7.9-inch screen size.
Gizchina News of the week
A quick look at the leaked pictures, and you’re told that the possible Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 will come with Android v4.4.4 KitKat as default. Thanks to the heavily forked MIUI Android interface, users of Xiaomi devices get a lot of features with weekly updates.
Coming back to the internal specifications of the Mi Pad 2, it’ll have a 1.8GHz Intel processor (a variant of the Atom series, presumably) along with 2GB of RAM, if the leaked photos are anything to go by. Last but not the least, the pictures also point at a 16GB on-board storage that the tablet could have.
What do you make of these specifications? Rumour or rubbish?
very ugly damn…. can’t be serious.. i hope
fake 100%
You’re such a n00b… ^^
I’m not keen on it personally… For starters I’m not sure the jump to Intel would be a very god idea in terms of Android performance and the side bezels look really wide in comparison to the ‘ideal’ physical form factor of the iPad Mini…
My Mrs has an iPad Mini and I must say, they have the dimensions absolutely spot on, I just really really hate iOS!
There is no MI branding on the hardware in the pics is it, so likely some random tab running MIUI.
And that Intel should be slower than the Tegra K1.
rubbish
looks fake to me, design is too drab
Seriously ugly! I hope it’s fake. The last one was a great design.
they have to use : “android-Windows”..its really useful and many like teclast and ramos join them into one tablet….
Also, the Minimum Internal must be 32gb and other variants up to 256GB
3G/4G must be on board
As for other features,if they again use the previous mipad Features, It will be boast much more success than former glory
disappointed at xiaomi lately
Just no point, I do not see Xiaomi being stupid enough to make such device.
Mi Pad offers incredible performance at the low price point, I do not see any reason why they need to make the low spec version of Mi Pad to compete with other cheap chinese tablets.
What’s with the huge bezels? Does not look like a tablet at all…
How much do you get money from Meizu for such a lie?
It’s a cheap tablet from Xiaomi, idiots!
This “cheap” tablet from Xiaomi has pretty much the same Hardware as Jolla Tablet (Only 670 pieces worldwide!)
It can be reflashed to SailfishOS
