Along with Redmi Note 3 which was announced earlier, Xiaomi has also launched a new edition of its Mi tablet, MiPad 2, in China. The device comes in two versions which is further splitted into two variants. The first version runs Android operating system that’s governed by the company’s own MIUI 7, while the second version runs Windows 10 OS. The Android version comes in two storage variants, 16GB and 64GB, both priced at CN¥ 999 ($156 USD) and CN¥ 1299 ($203 USD) respectively. However, pricing of MiPad 2 Windows version is not mentioned. While Android version is expected to start shipping later this month, the Windows version is said to arrive in December.
Unlike first edition of MiPad tablet that was released in May last year, the MiPad 2 is wrapped in an aluminium body that has a slim profile of 6.95mm, bearing a weight of 322 grams. It features same 7.9-inch QXGA (2048 x 1536 pixels) retina display as its predecessor, but Xiaomi has option for a less powerful 64-bit quad-core Intel Atom X5-Z8500 chipset in this latest version when compares with Nvidia Tegra K1 chipset in first edition. We consider this as a downgrade not upgrade.
