Xiaomi has today launched the successor of Mi Pad (Full Review) in China, the Mi Pad 2 which has higher probability of reaching Indian shores as compared to Redmi Note 3 which was also launched alongside. The new Mi Pad 2 improves on its predecessor’s short comings.

The biggest improvement in our book is the design. Only thing about original Mi Pad that put us off was that it was a tad bit uncomfortable to wield. We didn’t mind the thickness as much as the weight, which was something which needed to go away.
