Bought this Xiaomi Mi Pad for myself and my girlfriend. We are pretty happy with them. Here are Pros and Cons:
Pros:
1. Amazing value for money. Probably the best tablet out there within €150 price range.
2. 2GB of RAM. Massive advantage, meaning you can use multiple apps or demanding apps without fear of them shutting down due to lack of RAM.
3. Absolutely beautiful high definition screen. We are talking about over 300 pixel density. This is not some cheap display that you would find on other Chinese tablets, this one is premium display compares to what Apple iPads have if not better.
4. Very good camera quality.
5. I personally like that there's a LED beside the camera that tells you how badly baterry is discharged. For example without turning on tablet, by seeing red LED you know that tablet battery is pretty low.
Cons:
1. Probably the biggest issue of them all is "incompatible with quite a number of popular apps on Google Play store". Meaning you cannot install some popular apps like Instagram on this tablet. This DOES NOT mean that you cannot install Instagram on this tablet. You can't do it through Google Play, but you can still simply download and install Instagram .apk file from the internet, and it will work perfectly fine.
2. Standard UI (User Interface) for some reason causes Google apps icons to look quite weird, which bothered me. I have downloaded a free app on Play Store that is called "Apex Launcher" which changed UI to a more standard Android UI, also which fixed Google icons.
3. No GPS. Doesn't bother me, but may bother some other people.
4. No upgrade to Lollipop. Again doesn't bother me, but might bother other people.

Hi those who are on the lookout for a Genuine Official Android upgrade. Xiaomi mi pad 7.9 can't have its Android upgrade since its CPU is 32 bit where as Android L and its successors are 64 bit.

Bought this just 10 hours ago. First thing it asked to update to miui 7.0. All the apps started crashing. Serious Lags. Got fed up and tried to do factory reset with data wipe. Now it's stuck on erase data loop. It's bricked. Gonna return it right away.

It does not have GPS, if you are looking for navigation use it is not the one for you. No Telecom services either, it's good for WiFi only.

3 years now since i've bought the first mi pad, guess what, it's still on android 4.4.4 and xiaomi won't release the kernel source so devs can't make proper custom roms, only unofficial cm11 ports. Even the updates that xiaomi provides are still up to this moment, based on 4.4.4, it says MIUI 8 but it's still android 4.4.4 underneath. they've just added cosmetic changes and additions but still same old buggy implementation of kit-kat
THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS PIECE OF SHIT

AnonD-581781, 07 Sep 2016for all those people who have bought and used this tab kind... moreYes, it is a very good product. Specs for the price is unbeatable, period. But it takes a bit of tinkering to get the best out of it. Using unofficial cm11 and its great. Multitasking has improved because in sstoc its not that good. I really hope that xiaomi will release the kernel source so we will get lots of custom roms
