Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 Unboxing And First Impressions
Edit: After using the Mi Pad 3 for 1 solid day, I can say wait for a stable ROM. It’s crashing loading games, full lockups, glitches. UI lag. The hardware is great, but the software is very poor. It’s clearly a beta ROM, if Android 7.0 isn’t stable under MIUI 8.2.8 then just why not give your customers a stable Android 6.0 ROM! I’ve got my hands on the new Mi Pad 3, the sli...[Read More]

Xiaomi’s Live Stream From CES 2017 – New Mi Product Launch
Update: Well it’s over. A huge disappointment. A new router, 4k TV and the Mi Mix in white. That’s it, nothing exciting.
