Xiaomi Pad 7 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Pad 7 - improvements worth overpaying

Tablets from the Chinese company Xiaomi have always been loved by the audience, because it is incredibly difficult to find an analogue with similar performance and the same functionality in the price segment. The hero of today's review has become somewhat more expensive than its predecessor, but impressive progress in terms of technical characteristics allows you to ignore the price change.

The appearance of the new product is now more attractive. Even greater beauty of the exterior is achieved due to the reduced frames of the display with a diagonal of 11.2 inches, a more relevant block of photo modules. Stylish colors of the metal case have not disappeared anywhere, its excellent ergonomics. The quality of the IPS screen used is high. There is also remarkable picture clarity at a resolution of 3200x2136 pixels, and smoothness of content at a flagship refresh rate of 144 Hz. The color rendition is realistic, there is a high-quality oleophobic coating, and a brightness reserve of 800 nits.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor is not short of power. Together with 8GB/12GB of RAM and the Adreno 732 video core, it will allow gamers to enjoy maximum or close to them graphics presets for all modern games. Other users will easily notice the responsiveness of the Android 15 interface (HyperOS shell), instant launch of applications. At the same time, even long gaming sessions do not lead to throttling or strong heating of the back panel, and the battery life has even increased thanks to the 8840 mAh battery and the energy efficiency of the CPU. You will have to think about finding an outlet once every couple of days, and fast charging of the battery with a power of 45W will help to reach full capacity in 40 minutes. There is a lot of permanent memory (128/256 GB), so the lack of a slot for MicroSD cards will not be a problem.

The main 13- and 2-megapixel photo sensors are unlikely to amaze the imagination of an experienced mobile photographer, but cameras in such devices are rarely good. On the other hand, the modules cope not only with document capture, but also with daytime shooting. The main thing is not to forget about excellent lighting and low dynamics of objects. Four speakers have an impressive volume, clearly audible bass and many details in instrumental music. The version with 4G support has not appeared, so it is recommended to use a WiFi connection. The final impression of the device is very positive, it is extremely difficult to find shortcomings in it at the requested price.
