Reviews for the Xiaomi Pad Mini
The small 8.8-inch Xiaomi Pad Mini delivers performance and features you’d usually expect only from high-end smartphones. It offers up to 512 GB of storage and, with its Dimensity 9400+ chip, can even outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in some cases. The tablet also features a stunning 3K display with a 165 Hz refresh rate and delivers excellent battery life despite its compact size.

Compact tablets fell out of fashion for a reason, and I think most people will still be better off with a bigger device that can serve as a powerful and portable laptop replacement. If that’s more appealing to you, the best value option right now is the Honor Pad 10, where you’ll get the 12.1in tablet, a keyboard case and a stylus for just £300. With that being said, however, I really like the Xiaomi Pad Mini. The compact and robust build makes it well-suited to being slung in your bag for a bit of streaming on the train to work, or even tucked neatly into your carry-on for a flight. Once you download a competent sketching app, the stylus is precise and responsive enough to facilitate digital art, too. Which makes it all the more frustrating that it isn’t coming to the UK.
