Xiaomi Pad 6 WiFi 8gb/128gb Gold

Performance:adequateBest Feature:quick chargingI have mixed feelings regarding this purchase.So I bought this to practice digital art. I only chose this one because it has a dedicated pen for the tablet and this one is within my budget. I bought the pen from a different store. I am slightly disappointed to find out that you need to turn on the bluetooth connection for the pen to work. I thought it's 'ready-to-use' type of pen. I guess it's a relief to find out that I can still use my bluetooth earphones while using the pen but I know the battery will drain faster.Also, I bought a matte tempered glass for it because I don't wanna scratch the screen. The pen leaves scratch marks on it so my mixed feelings intensifies.

The pen leaves scratch marks on it so my mixed feelings intensifies. I bought Ibis Paint and tried the palm rejection feature there. It works but the buttons can't be programmed. The note app on the tablet does palm rejection as well though. You need to turn off the 'draw with fingers' option. The pressure sensitivity only works on the note app on the tablet. I noticed it didn't work on Ibis Paint. I haven't tried other apps though.I played a rhythm game (ColorfulStage) and there were times it lagged for quick, short moments. I'm a bit disappointed with that as well because I didn't even install a lot of apps (below 15). I also didn't like how there is no theme store for the tablet. I am really big on customizing my stuff for aesthetics and I buy themes if I really like them. Such a shame it's not available.I like the quick charge though. It takes 1 1/2 hour on average to fully charge. Maybe it's because I'm not used to MIUI that's why I'm still adapting to it. There's a lot of other fun stuff I enjoy on the tablet but I can't recall them right now hahahaIf you're considering buying, think about why you're buying a tablet and weigh your options first. There is no sim slot on this tablet, though I suggest you can hotspot data from your phone. There's also a ton of bloatware I can't uninstall (I consider google apps I don't use as that) so it adds to my list of things I didn't like _(: 」∠)_

An excellent midrange tablet for this price

This dark gray variant is a fingerprint magnet, so if you don't plan on using the case, go with others variants. The 11" display is optimal for reading and working, the quality is exceptional. The battery is also quite good. I've used the Poco F1 for four full years, so I'm familiar with the MIUI interface. Here it seems much closer to stock android, which is not bad at all. The first impression is that the software is quite polished, so the tablet is fluid in operation. Some apps aren't optimized for the tablet, but that's a problem with almost all android tablets. Split screen and floating windows work perfectly. Mi notes is without many options, far behind other similar note taking apps. What I particularly miss is the option to select an always-visible taskbar ... MoreThis dark gray variant is a fingerprint magnet, so if you don't plan on using the case, go with others variants.

Mi notes is without many options, far behind other similar note taking apps. What I particularly miss is the option to select an always-visible taskbar as well as a sidebar that would improve multitasking. There is no fingerprint reader. But face unlock works so fast, even in darker conditions, that you will forget the fingerprint reader in 5 minutes. No cellular variants, no GPS, no 3.5mm jack, no NFC. But these are things that I personally do not need on tablet. The only thing I miss is the SD card slot, nothing else. With the 256 gb variant, I wouldn't miss that either. That's why I recommend that you buy the 8/256 gb variant. Xiaomi pen gen2 I'm planning tobuy is quite expensive. 100 for a pen is not a small amount of money. I recommend this tablet. For the price around 300 it is hard to find better.

Excellent tablet for a fair price

Bought as replacement for quite recent entry-level tablets for myself and the kids.MUCH faster.MI OS is very close to standard Android, and has almost inexistent bloatware (which you can uninstall).With the "Spaces" feature you can have two accounts running two tablets on the same device (great for parents, you can have one account locked with Family link and use the other one for yourself). Note that there is no way of sharing data or apps between the Spaces: using the same apps means installing them twice, one for each account.Perfect for general purpose stuff like watching videos, browsing and low-duty Games.It's worth paying a bit more than living the pain of a slow entry-level tablet, plus the screen is much better. Trust me on this one, slow tablets are a ... MoreBought as replacement for quite recent entry-level tablets for myself and the kids.MUCH faster.MI OS is very close to standard Android, and has almost inexistent bloatware (which you can uninstall).With the "Spaces" feature you can have two accounts running two tablets on the same device (great for parents, you can have one account locked with Family link and use the other one for yourself).

Trust me on this one, slow tablets are a pain.No SD card slot might be a turn-off, but I had issues with Netflix not allowing downloads on SD cards on previous Samsung tablets.If you need cellular connection, use your phone as a hotspot.The body "colors" (blue and gold) are very light and more like silver.Xiaomi makes a great cover that magnetically clips on (and off) the tablet, unfortunately it is not yet findable here.And the optional MI pen is extremely expensive (100$), hopefully this will change in the future.
