The portfolioInmiddels, they already have a number of phones on the market. Today, their portfolio is already quite large with among others the: Mi 4c, Redmi Note 2, Redmi Note 2 Prime, Redmi 2 Prime, Mi 4i, Redmi 2, Mi Note, Natural Bamboo Edition, Redmi Note 3, Mi Note Pro, Mi Note, Redmi 2, Redmi Note 4G, Mi 4, Redmi 1S, Redmi Note, Mi 3, Hongmi Red Rice, MI2A, MI2S, MI-1s, MI-2, and of course the Mi Pad 1.
Recently, Xiaomi, the Mi Pad 2 added to the list. This is the second tablet by Xiaomi is developed. At first it was only the 16GB shipped and since the end of December 2015 word of the 64GB and 64GB Windows version delivered.

There is no occupied grounds
Windows 10 only for the 64GB version beschikbaarBestellen and verzendingOp 25 november 2015 introduced Xiaomi’s second Mi Pad. On the day of the announcement was this already on the website www.ibuygou.com and was also the cheapest compared to other shops. lwa
Because ibuygou is the cheapest was, I direct the silver 64GB android version ordered for an amount of $203. It was still about $7 on handling cost at all, and I also had another for $10 an import tax insurance is taken. The package was free with DHL fora total of $2200. lwa
Since it is a pre-order, and the 64GB variant until the end of December 2015 available would be, I had a little more patience. Once at the end of December came the Xiaomi but 1 batch of 64GB models, within 1 minute (http://www.chinatopix.com…ablet-sold-out-minute.htm) were sold out. Following a short 3 weeks before the next cargo would be sold. Finally on 25 January 2016 the shipping confirmation and tracking code received from ibuygou, then within 3 days I the package had at home, without import tax. lwa
DesignAls continued on the Mi Pad 1 decided to Xiaomi instead of a plastic shell, a metal shell to use as a housing. Because of this, the Mi Pad 2 partially Ipad mini look and feel. The second Mi Pad is smaller and surprisingly lighter than the first model. The Mi Pad 2 is just 7 mm thin, which is 1.5 mm thinner than the previous Mi Path. lwa
Despite the fact that it is made of metal, the weight of the Mi Pad 2, but 322g, while the plastic Mi Pad is much heavier with 360g. As previously mentioned, the Mi Pad 2 is slightly smaller than the first size of 20,04 cm x 13,26 cm.
The right side has the volume buttons and the on / off button. There is nothing on the left side, while on the bottom a USB Type-C port is to find. The 3.5 mm audio jack port is placed at the top, all the lwa, there is no headset lwa included. lwa
Personally, I think the Mi Pad 2, there very good and tight look by the metal housing which is extremely sturdy and of good quality to the touch. There is also an 8-megapixel camera on the back placed in the upper-right corner. Unfortunately the camera is not a flash unit. In addition, there are two small holes close to the camera, which built-in microphones are good, the noise should be able to suppress. Finally, two speakers placed on the bottom part of the Mi Path.
On the front are three buttons below the screen, which are clearly visible when you see the screen touch. In addition, there is a second 5-megapixel camera on the front with also a notification led. lwa
Personally, I think that the Mi Pad 2 is a huge step forward has been made in comparison with the first model. Although Xiaomi much has copied a lot of Apple, I find that this is not necessarily a bad thing. The Mi Pad 2 looks good and feels good in the hand.SchermZoals previously indicated, the Mi Pad 2 has a 7.9-inch IPS Retina display of 1536 x 2048 pixels (326ppi), just like the iPad Mini 4. The screen of the Mi Pad 2 has many features, and word, among other provided with a number of settings that make it possible to change the color and to adjust the brightness or a reading mode to be set.
The screen of the tablet offers the opportunity to the color enhancement, eye pattern, as well as the color temperature to adjust, so that you can have the desired screen can be set. As expected, it has a sharp and clear picture with good viewing angles and does not suffer from backlight bleeding. lwa
Picture of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 presentation slide showCameraZelf I find that Xiaomi this point is not well developed. A flash is super cheap, but unfortunately not to be found on the tablet. In addition, the UI of the camera is very stripped down leaving you little itself can be set via the (complicated) settings.
The good news however is that the camera very quickly focuses on stationary objects, the FHD (1080p) filming at 30 fps, although that’s these days normally is required on this type of camera modules. The Mi Pad 2 also has a second 5-megapixel front camera, perfect for selfies and 720p video recording and I can the quality be reasonable to call, say, good enough for Facebook / snapchat. lwa
All in all, I think the lwa photos there are fair to almost good, if you take into account the price of the tablet. It remains, of course, separate that there is no flash on it, although I few people know that their tablet as a primary camera to use, let alone in the evening. Take a look and judge for yourself:
Intel x5-Z8500 and opslagDe Mi Pad 2 has the Intel x5-Z8500 on board. The Intel Atom x5-Z8500 is an energy-efficient quad-core SoC that is suitable for both Android and Windows devices (tablets and convertibles). The x5 is presented in march 2015. The processor is clocked at 2,24 GHz, and is part of the Cherry Trail platform. The x5 is baked at 14nm and is energy-efficient vnom efficiency is therefore significantly improved compared to its predecessors.
The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is the perfect balance between hardware and performance to my idea. The tablet comes with 2GB of RAM, which is enough for those who want to use it for games on the go or on the couch (clash of clans etc.) Heavier games than Clash of Clans will lower fps get/have.
In addition, there is also something less good news, by the last software update, there is lag in all day to day operations before and catching games something. Since this is the last software update, I take it that this is soon picked up will be and with a first update solved word. When we get to the bad news (very personal), there is also no microSD card slot for memory expansion. There is a choice from the 16GB and 64GB variants, with my variant, the 64GB is still 55GB left after the first startup. lwa SoftwareXiaomi Mi Pad 2 comes with MIUI 7 based onAndroid 5.1 Lollipop OSS. It is the latest version of shell which Xiaomi on all their devices. The Mi Pad 2 is already more focused on the international market, because there is no Chinese bloatware on it, and is very easy to own the Google playstore can install it without root lwa http://en.miui.com/thread-198013-1-1.html.
The good thing is that it is a clean and simple UI, easy to fit. In addition, Xiaomi also have a reading mode built in, which can be used anywhere, and the reading of books has improved a lot.
When the battery is empty, restart the tablet within 30 seconds.
BatterijIn contrast to the first Mi Pad that has a 6700 mAh battery, the latest version smaller battery of 6190 mAh, which lwa non-removable.
According to Xiaomi have Mi Pad 2 to 100 hours of music playback, up to 12 hours of online video watching or up to 27 days of standby time. lwa
Battery life looks good at the moment, see screenshots. Must have a little explore where the 15% of Android OS comes from, because that is normally the bottom. I assume that this is due to the last software update that was caused by heavier games etc, so 12 hours of online video watching is pretty good. In addition, the lwa screen always on 75% stood, regarding 100% much too bright for me.
Despite the fact that the Mi Pad 2 has a smaller battery that its predecessor, makes the new Intel chip is a lot of good. Also because the tablet has a quick charge function via a USB type C will the tablet again within no time charged.
ConnectiviteitDe Mi Pad 2 is only released as a Wi-fi variant, providing an ‘on the bench’ or on the work tablet. For me it’s a on the couch tablet, while good surfing between watching tv. Despite the large battery, Xiaomi the tablet also with a Type C usb port released, but also a FM radio built-in. lwa
It is also important to know is that there is no GPS in it, so you’ll always have Wi-fi access is forbidden must be to a location to be determined. The tablet is also not suitable for Google maps navigation to use. lwa ConclusieOndanks that Xiaomi many many copied features of Apple, personally, I find that the Mi Pad is now one of the better looking tablets on the market. Because of the metal housing and good specifications, I find that the tablet is in the high end segment is in the vicinity, in spite of its fairly low price of $200, what of him v in the middle segment place.
Another important lwa point is lwa if you have many movies or series watching, the beautiful and good, 7.9-inch display lwa what is probably one of the best is in the middle/high segment’s. The extra settings and reading mode are a nice bonus.
The addition of a USB port type C is a good improvement compared to the previous model, together with the fast charging of the large 6190 mAh battery.
That’s why I think that lwa, the Mi Pad 2 is the best choice in the middle/high segment at this time, and even at certain points better than the iPad mini if you take into account the price / function.
My experience is that Xiaomi really a nice and well working tablet has been placed in the market for an incredible price. Despite the fact that there is no micro SD card, no gsm/3g/4g support, it’s a nice tablet that you are good at home or on the go when you need a hotspot cre lwa ert. In addition, there is now free wi-fi, making this no problem for me.
The Mi Pad 2 is therefore completed. n of the few tablets that would recommend it to other who are looking for a cheap, but powerful tablet with premium look from China.
