Awesome experience, I'm using it since its launched in India . No irritating adds in miui . Very enjoyable tab.

[@hrishikeshdeore5727]

Does it have paper reading mode?

[@hrishikeshdeore5727]

Is it light so as to hold it one hand?

[@harshvindersingh5330]

@@hrishikeshdeore5727yes, you can hold it with one hand but you need other hand to operate it because of bigger screen size.

[@harshvindersingh5330]

@@hrishikeshdeore5727 it has a reading mode, same as we have in mobile phone. Reading mode makes the white light little warmer.

[@Naantu123]

​@@hrishikeshdeore5727 yes it has the mode. You can get it from a simple long tab on the reading mode.

I have 8/256 Gold and it saved me because now when I'm home I can watch KZbin without annoying phone calls from people I usually ignore

😂🗿

[@zeeshanreza43]

How's the viewing angle of the display?

[@paopaowell]

i had brought this pad 3week ago it's awesome so far perfect only that i don't recommend you guys buy third party accessories like magnet cover it too sensitive often screen detected close it's auto close shut screen on middle screen play

[@phillipjfry105]

I've been using the pad 5 for a year now and it's very good for everything especially for gaming. It's nice to see that pad 6 is good like pad 5

[@ammmm538]

Im searching for budget friendly device Is this tablet can run lot of games especially fortnite and roblox? And i would be happy if you told me some of the specs

[@phillipjfry105]

I don't know about the games you mentioned but I play on it Genshin Impact, Honkai Star rail, Honkai Impact3rd, Snowbreak and Some other games and they're all smooth but of course not all of them on high graghic settings otherwise the device would head up and drain battery. I can play genshin on medium setting for 5 hours strait, so if you're thinking of buying I highly recommend it but to be safe see other people who tried other games and decide for yourself@@ammmm538

[@Taskaz2]

​@@ammmm538yes it can, it will run most games no problem 60fps+

[@BlueGlimpser]

Another great feature of this new Xiaomi pad 6 is that have usb C 3.1 connectivity which means that with a USB C to HDMI cable you can project the image into a PC monitor so you can transform your mi pad tablet into a PC if you connect a bluetooth keyboard and a mouse to it. A pity that Xiaomi don't have a linux OS like Samsung with DEX but there are apps in google play like "Computer Launcher" that can do the trick quite well. So you can browse, watch youtube videos and do other usual tasks in a very comfortable way like if you were using a real PC 😚

[@_gelon]

Xiaomi Pad 5 with USB-C 2.0 was just ultra-lame. But that's Xiaomi in a nutshell.

[@bulletpunch9317]

Samsung dex isnt linux anymore

[@burjanbarnabas24]

I believe it's usb 3.2 actually, correct me if I'm wrong tho.

[@cezarsoba]

[@paulpadolina6191]

Love the Pad 6!

[@nufdv08]

Can you make a video on the pen or pencil? i mean, comparing it to Apple Pencil, Samsung's stylus etc.. how do we know it's good, what latency means etc? coz i heard Xiaomi's 2nd gen smart pen is a good rival to that of Apple and Samsung.

[@mrkarn8241]

I wish there will be more gaming tablet with 8-9 inch display with flagship chips. Like the lenovo y700

[@newecreator]

I like how this tablet looks. Reminds me a lot of an iPad Air.

[@ilkayc5138]

Very nice. Can we leave this pad connected to an adapter and use it like a PC?

[@walkwithlenin3798]

Good review.

[@hafizbakheet1625]

Thank you to Review this tap Goodluck 💕🙋

[@usmanpak-vt8kt]

Good work pad I like this

[@celaizenloves]

is this good for video editing?

[@TheSupremeSkill]

This seems like the pad of sensible value that replaces the base iPad after it hiked up in price. I find this device convincing. The OnePlus Pad is a good alternative.

[@ISBE91]

Too bad oneplus pad has a less than 150 hz touch sampling rate and lower resolution

[@SamukheleMwase]

What's the snowboarding game being played in the video? It reminds me of SSX tricky on the playstation

[@vinzentgaming8070]

Loving my pad6 with the hyperos! Pc mode is a revelation!

Pc mode is there?

Do the stylus and cover come with the pad? What about the keyboard?

No, you'll have to buy them separately.

[@Martaine70]

What is the ski game snd the waterfall/nature thing in the video please?

[@joshs9499]

which is better the samsung s9, xiaomi pad 6 or the one plus pad?

[@manueltoledo5413]

Looks so good

[@pixelgaming7261]

You reviewed the OnePlus Pad on your website, but no video review. Why was that?

[@MKR3238]

nice to see a well rounded and well priced product from Xiaomi for once. wish the pro model had an OLED screen tho

[@a5913015]

Same LCD screen with mi PAD 6!

[@raimimar4488]

i dont know why people dont buy quality products like Apple Ipad they are milions time better over this chinese spying devices

When using the stylish pen, does the palm of hands intefere's whatever going on , on the screen? this question is with the perspective of writting something on the pad..when the palm rest on the screen while writting.

Do we know how many years of software support it has

2years of software update

[@ShamanNoodles]

It's just so frustrating that these dont come with SIM card/mobile network support. I would pay extra for the feature as an add-on.

[@deadrooster9343]

Pro version does have LTE but i believe only china has it. even in our location only the normal version comes and not the pro version. this could be because of the connectivity bands which are not supported in our countries.

[@blakewillson18]

Just tether it to your phone's data.

Some people saying it has resolution problem when it comes to fps games?

Cellular isnt really useful in 2023, we have hotspots

@@DRIVER-SEBVET Not really since we always carry our phones with us and you'd need an extra sim.

[@zulwhite6007]

04:47 That OnePlus Pad seems too good for the charging speed. I meant 'perfect speed for the large battery capacity" but... Why using 80watt Super VOOC from Oppo..? The original charger given is 67 watt only. Is it means the Oneplus pad support the Oppo Super VOOC 80 watt charger.?

What is the storage like?

128 GB+6 GB RAM, 128 GB+8 GB RAM or 256 GB+8 GB RAM

[@ragirate535]

is this comparable with the iPad Pro 11" M1 ?

[@Dr.Akakia]

No, obviously m1 is more stronger

[@BrainDeadz]

How's the 128gb? Does the storage run out fast?

[@Hasan-pf7vi]

I would recommend 256 since it doesn't have sd card slot...plus the 2gb extra ram helps in multitasking a lot

The only thing that ties me to the iPad are the synthesizers. Android fails when it comes to audio sequencers and virtual synthesizers. Latency is awful.
