With the Mi Pad 4 We are finding ourselves with a rather unusual situation, in which the information prior to the launch is reaching us more from the manufacturer itself than through leaks: we were already caught by surprise Xiaomi announcement of its presentation next week and now he has also confirmed some of his characteristics.
Xiaomi confirms the processor and size of the Mi Pad 4
As with the announcement of the presentation, it has been through a promotional image published on Weibo as Xiaomi has seen fit to give us a small preview of what we will discover next week, with an image and a statement in which he reveals two of the fundamental characteristics of the tablet: the processor who will ride and the size from the screen.
It is necessary to anticipate, that yes, that in neither of the two cases we are going to take a surprise this time. Starting with the processor, it turns out that it was one of the few sections of which, due to previous leaks, we had a more or less clear idea of what to expect, because its characteristics had been filtered and clearly pointed to the Snapdragon 660. Now Xiaomi has confirmed that this is indeed the chosen chip.
The size of the screen, secondly, had not been filtered, but the capacity of the battery, which would be 6000 mAh, the same as that of the Mi Pad 3 and that was a good indication that we should expect that in the Mi Pad 4 the 7.9 inches (It would not have been very promising in terms of autonomy if it were to reach 10 inches). Well, this is another feature that we can take for granted.
What we still have to discover
As we said at the beginning, the leaks had left us little data, but if we add them to what has already been made official Xiaomi, It seems that we already have a fairly faithful image of what we can expect from the Mi Pad 4: we know that it will arrive with Android Oreo, of course, and that the cameras will be 13 and 5 MP, and it would be unthinkable that the new model would arrive with a lower resolution (2048 x 1536) or less RAM (4 GB) than its predecessor.
We lack the power to take a good look at your design, and who knows if we can get any surprises here. We have been able to see a little of the rear and at the moment everything seems quite familiar, but could there perhaps be some surprises in the front? After all, this is where it seems that we are going to see more news in future Samsung and Apple tablets, with the disappearance of the physical buttons.
The big unknown right now, anyway, is probably the price, which is always the great claim of the devices of Xiaomi. We have no doubt that it will be a new example of great value for money, but to what extent remains to be seen. Continuity with Mi Pad 3 makes us suppose that it will be close to that also in this sense, but mounting a Qualcomm processor instead of a Mediatek would be even more interesting.
