1) Xiaomi Pad 6 bundles announced in India with Smart Pen, Keyboard, and Cover.Details?

Ans) Xiaomi Pad 6 was announced in India earlier this week as the brand’s latest tablet in the mid-range segment.

It stands out from the competition by offering flagship-grade hardware for an affordable price.
In fact, the tablet outshines the OnePlus Pad, which costs over Rs. 10,000 more.

If you’re still on the lookout for reasons to purchase, take a look at the new bundles Xiaomi has introduced, including a Smart Pen, Keyboard, or even the back cover.

Pair your Xiaomi Pad 6 with smart accessories

Xiaomi has announced three Xiaomi Pad 6 bundles in India.
The first bundle is meant to increase your productivity and combines the tablet with the Xiaomi Smart Pen (2nd Generation) and the Xiaomi Pad 6 Keyboard.
The keyboard has 64 keys with a 1.3mm key travel.
It is said to be visible in low-light conditions with reflective keys, although there is no backlight.
You can get the productivity bundle for a starting price of Rs. 34,997 for the base 6GB version.
The 8GB variant is available for Rs. 36,997.

Next up, the creativity bundle includes the Smart Pen and the Xiaomi Pad 6 back cover. It starts at Rs. 31,497 and goes up to Rs. 33,497.
The entertainment bundle, on the other hand, offers just the back cover and is priced at a generous Rs. 25,498, with the higher-end version costing Rs. 27,498.
To remind you, the tablet comes with an 11-inch display (LCD) with up to a 144Hz refresh rate.
The slate is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It runs MIUI 14 for Pad based on Android 13.
For photography, there’s a 13MP camera on the rear and an 8MP front-facing camera.

2) How is Xiaomi Pad 6 Design ?

Ans) Adding some premium elegance to a smart template

The Xiaomi Pad 6 adds a touch of elegance and class to the smart design of the Pad 5. Although both tablets have displays of the same size (11 inches), the Pad 6 is actually more compact.
It measures 254 mm in height (in portrait mode), 165.2 mm in width, and a very impressive 6.5 mm in thickness, as compared to 254.7 mm x 166.3 mm x 6.9 mm of the Pad 5. It is also lighter at 490 grams as compared to the 511 grams of Pad 5.
This drop in weight is remarkable when you consider that unlike the Pad 5, which had come with a plastic back and metal frame, the Pad 6 has an aluminum back as well as a metal frame.

Turn on the display, and the reason for the compactness will become evident – Xiaomi has narrowed the bezels around the display, leaving just enough for holding the tablet. The back and sides are flat, but the back of our Mist Blue model seemed mostly metallic but changed shades to a light blue depending on the angle of the light falling on it.
The camera unit also has been designed to look like the square-ish one on the premium Xiaomi 13 Pro. There are two speaker grilles each at the top and the base of the tablet, with “Dolby Vision Atmos” branding between the speakers on top and a USB Type C port on the base. One side is plain, while another has volume rockers and a charging pad for charging the Smart Pen stylus.

Interestingly, Xiaomi has opted to keep the pin connector to its keyboard on the lower part of the back rather than on the side that connects to the keyboard.
The brand says that this ensures better connectivity with the keyboard, and while we did have fewer accidental disconnects with the keyboard, just how well this plays out, in the long run, will be interesting.

3) What are Xiaomi Pad 6 Specs?

Ans) Beneath all that modern jazz lies an old, but still strong, heart!

The Xiaomi Pad 6 packs in some impressive specs.
The 11-inch display has what Xiaomi calls a 2.8K resolution, which actually is 2880 x 1800. It gives the display a pixel density of 309 ppi and also gives it a 16:10 aspect ratio, more rectangular than the slightly square-ish iPad and OnePlus Pad.
The display is quite bright (550 nits) and vibrant and comes with a 144 Hz refresh rate, which can adjust itself to different levels depending on the content being shown on it.
It is not as sensitive as the 1 Hz- 120 Hz refresh rate range you get on some high-end devices, but it is definitely better than having a single high or low refresh rate for all content.

The presence of four speakers, which adjust their delivery depending on whether you are handling them in portrait or landscape mode (a neat touch that we saw in the Xiaomi Pad 5 as well).

There is support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, which makes this a very capable multimedia device.
The cameras are a little on the basic side – a 13-megapixel one on the back and an 8-megapixel one on the front.
They are good enough for regular snaps, the odd video, and video calls, but nothing beyond that.

There is no subject tracking in video calls.
Driving all this is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870G processor, which is definitely not the latest and greatest processor around (it was launched in early 2021) but has solid budget flagship genes and has proved itself to be a capable performer for most tasks.
There are two RAM and storage variants – 6 GB/ 128 GB and 8 GB/ 256 GB. There is no 4G/5G variant, though, as Xiaomi, like OnePlus, has put its Internet connectivity options in the Wi-Fi basket. We do not think this is a dealbreaker, given the availability and accessibility of 4G/5G phones and Wi-Fi.

In terms of connectivity, you get Bluetooth and Wi-Fi – there’s no 3.5 mm audio jack or infrared port, but then those are increasingly nearing extinction in the tablet world—the tablet packs in an 8840 mAh battery with a 33W charger in the box. A big miss here is the fingerprint sensor, which we would expect in a device at this price point. There is support for Face ID, but it is not secure enough for transactions.

On the software side, the Xiaomi Pad 6 runs on Android 13 with Xiaomi’s MIUI 14 UI on top of it, with a number of tweaks and touches for being used on a tablet.
There is support for Xiaomi’s Smart Pen (2nd Generation) stylus and also Xiaomi’s keyboard, although the tablet will work fine with just about any Bluetooth keyboard and even a mouse.

The absence of a newer chip and a fingerprint sensor might disappoint some, but the Xiaomi Pad 6 is easily one of the best-specced tablets at its price point.
