Xiaomi Pad 7 Blue deals

The Xiaomi Pad 7 is the tablet that made Android slates feel properly premium at mid-range money. The headline is the 11.2-inch 3.2K screen: it is sharper than almost anything else at this level, runs at up to 144Hz and uses a 3:2 shape that gives you more usable height for reading, spreadsheets and split-screen work than a widescreen tablet does. The aluminium body is 6.18mm thin and 500g, so it is easy to hold one-handed on a train, and the quad speakers with Dolby Atmos are more than adequate for watching a series without headphones. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 keeps HyperOS 2 fluid and handles mainstream gaming comfortably, though it is not a Snapdragon 8-class workhorse. Cameras are the usual tablet afterthought, there is no microSD slot, and the Focus Pen and keyboard case are extra purchases rather than in-box. Now that the Pad 8 has arrived, the Pad 7 has become the value pick in Xiaomi's tablet range rather than the newest option.
