Once you dive into the world of Mi, it is important to mention that you are joining a large and friendly community of technology enthusiasts.

If money is no object then the iPad mini 4 is the superior tablet here with all-round quality on offer. That's not to say the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is bad, though. We're really impressed with it and you can save a lot of cash this way. However, prepare yourself for a slightly odd Android experience which requires some tweaking due to its Chinese roots.

Whether Xiaomi intended to or not, the Mi Pad 2 is an Android tablet disguised as an iPad mini. This may disgust you or be exactly what you're looking for. Either way, we can't deny that this is a well-made, stylish tablet with decent specs for the price. You're best off getting the 64GB model and if the iOS style user interface is a turn-off, remember that Android is highly customisable.
