Xiaomi Pad 6 deals

The Xiaomi Pad 6 built its reputation on giving you flagship-feeling hardware in a mid-range Android tablet, and several years on that argument still holds up. The 11-inch screen runs at 144Hz and at a higher resolution than most rivals of its era, so scrolling is glassy and text is crisp, and the four-speaker Dolby Atmos setup is far better than the price band suggests. The metal unibody is 6.5mm thin and 490g, which makes it an easy tablet to hold through a long film. Xiaomi's Snapdragon 870 is an older flagship chip rather than a current one, and that is the honest trade: it still handles streaming, browsing and most games without complaint, but it will not keep pace with newer silicon on demanding titles. There are other gaps worth knowing about. There is no microSD slot, no headphone socket, no cellular version and no IP rating, and the Smart Pen and keyboard are separate purchases rather than in-box extras. Software support is shorter than Samsung's too, so treat it as a well-built media and browsing tablet rather than a long-term work machine.
