Xiaomi’s tablet has now received a price cut in China with the 16GB version of the tab now costing just 1299 yuan and the 64GB model now costing only 1499 Yuan.
The price cut has raised questions about the launch of a possible Xiaomi MiPad 2. Sources in China have speculated that the next-gen MiPad will feature a Snapdragon CPU and built in LTE and could launch later this month.

The 16GB version has been at that price since the start of December , the only price cut now is for the 64GB version and the price cut is most likely only because they can afford it, they pay 16 or so extra $ and charge 32$ for it.
