So far in the comparative with the Mi Pad 2 We have focused on high-end tablets, to help you decide in which cases (depending on what you are looking for), you can perhaps think about saving a few euros. It may, however, that many do not consider making an investment that is too high in any case and that it is the price, more than its characteristics, what catches the attention of the tablet of Xiaomi which, indeed, in this sense is closer to a mid-range tablet. That is why today we are going to face one of the most popular in its price range, the Galaxy Tab E de Samsung. Despite being larger, we have chosen to face it simply because it is much easier to find in Spain than the Galaxy Tab A 8.0. We leave you with the Technical specifications of both.
Integrated
Regarding the design, and despite the fact that the tablet of Samsung It has quite good finishes for its price, you have to give an extra point to the Mi Pad 2, simply to offer us something that even today is very rare in an Android tablet and such a feature is none other than an elegant metal casing.
Dimensions
Keep in mind that the tablet of Samsung It has a screen that is almost 2 inches larger, which explains the difference in size that we are going to find between the two (20,04x13,26 inch against 24,19x14,95 inch), and the same happens with weight (322 grams against 490 grams). In the thickness section, more neutral, in any case, the Xiaomi tablet continues to have an advantage (7 mm against 8,5 mm).
Screen
As we have just said, the first thing to notice is a significant difference in size, which may well be the deciding factor for any of you when choosing between the two (7.9 inches against 9.7 inches). Do not lose sight, however, the tablet of Xiaomi has in its favor a much higher resolution (2048 x 1536 against 1280 x 800), which together with the fact that it is smaller, results in a very notable difference in pixel density (PPI 324 against PPI 157).
Performance
The victory of the Mi Pad 2 in the performance section, since it mounts an Intel quad-core processor with a frequency of 2,24 GHz and has 2 GB of RAM memory, while the Galaxy Tab E offers us features more in line with its price, with an eight-core processor with a frequency of 1,3 GHz y 1,5 GB of RAM.
Storage capacity
Another point in favor of the tablet Xiaomi It is in the storage capacity section, since the basic model arrives with 16 GB internal memory, while with that of the Samsung we will only have 8 GB. With both we will have the possibility, in any case, to expand it externally, since both have a card slot micro-SD.
Cameras
It is not that it is the section to which more attention should be paid when choosing a tablet (in most cases, at least), but neither can the superiority that the Mi Pad 2, with a main chamber of 8 MP and another for selfies and video calls from 5 MP. It must be said, in any case, that those of the Galaxy Tab E are quite good for a basic / mid-range tablet, with 5 MP in the back and 2 MP on the front.
Autonomy
As always happens when we talk about tablets that have just been presented, we do not have data from independent tests of autonomy for the Mi Pad 2, so the only thing we can do is compare the capacity of their respective batteries and, also here, the tablet of Xiaomi take the lead6190 mAh against 5000 mAh).
Price
If we could buy it at the price at which it will be sold in China and that would be $150, Mi Pad 2 it would also be cheaper than Galaxy Tab E, which is being sold in our country for about 200 euros. The normal thing, in any case, is that because to get here it has to go through the importers beforehand, to get it we have to pay a lot more.
