When we talk about the hardware characteristics of a device, whether it be a smartphone or tablet, we usually refer only to the main ones and never refer to their arrangement within the body of the terminal, the way to distribute them to ensure a good refrigeration, or the rest of the pieces that are there, and many times they are essential to distinguish a good team from others that are not so. For this reason, it is interesting to see what is hidden under the lid of the tablet Xiaomi,MiPad, which left us speechless the day of its announcement.
About a month ago now, the Chinese manufacturer, Xiaomi, known for being the company behind hugely successful smartphones like the Mi3 or the Red Rice and in charge of the ROM MIUI, based on Android and enjoying great popularity, presented its first tablet, and the expectation was very high. They did not disappoint and the Xiaomi MiPad, which incorporates a 7,9-inch screen with 2.048 x 1.536 pixels resolution, NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM, 8 megapixel camera and 6.520 mAh of battery capacity, was announced by a price of 175 euros.
Without a doubt, it instantly became one of the most attractive options on the market, but there are those who think that they must have cut costs from somewhere to offer this competitive price, and it is one of the questions they answer. IT168, who have been in charge of disassemble piece by piece the device. As they say, the construction materials are of good quality, quite resistant, so that one of the possible weaknesses would be discarded.
Another interesting point is how they have controlled the refrigeration in a team of only 8,5 millimeters thick that uses a processor NVIDIA Tegra K1 so the MiPad doesn't get red-hot with any minimally demanding task. To do this, they have added many small details, so that this cooling is achieved by the entire set. The internal structure of the device is divided into three sections that are all placed on the plate and each one keeps different chips under a plastic cover.
The exploded view shows the speakers, the battery run by LG, the microUSB adapter, the notification LED, the cameras and other components, which now, by having direct access, we can see which companies are the ones that collaborate with Xiaomi and are part of the supplies. For example, the 2 gig RAM memory is SKhynix brand, 16 gig internal memory of Toshiba, power supply Texas Instruments, sound chip and speaker Realtek, Broadcom takes care of the WiFi chip, Bluetooth and FM radio and the touch sensor, an ATMEL MXT 1664T. In short, good brands involved for an excellent final result.
