Mipad Vs Mipad: Who wins the war?

The tablet market is flooded with innumerable options that it becomes very confusing to pick one. Every other day, there are new tablets introduced in the market with improved and better features and specifications. The demand and preference for a particular tablet depends on an individual’s needs. Today, we will compare two Android Tablet PCs, from 2 different brands which share a similar name - Xiaomi Mipad and iZotron Mipad 07. The interesting thing about these tablets is that they both are the first “Mipad” series tablets released by their respective brands. However, one falls in the premium range of above 10,000 while the other is as good as a premium android tablets under 5,000.

Let take a look at the two Mipads and analyse which buy will be better in terms of price, specifications and use.

Xiaomi made its debut in the tablet market in India with its Mipad in the year 2015. With this new tablet in the market, Xiaomi tried to repeat its success of smartphones. The Chinese company tried to imitate Apple’s iPad and thus was comically named as Mipad. This is a 7.9-inch Android Tablet with high resolution, powerful GPU, and proficient camera. The tablet is powered by a 2.2 GHz NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor with 192-core Kepler GPU and runs on Android-based MiUI ROM optimized for tablets. The device sports 2GB RAM with 16 GB internal memory. With 8 MP Rear and 5 MP Front cameras, the tablet is great for photography.

Though the tablet created quite a stir in the market, the company was not very successful in putting it up to iPad standards. There were certain issues like weak WiFi, less responsive touch and its slippery nature. Priced at around 11,000 INR, this was a good buy for those who aspire for iPad Mini. However, those who are looking for a budget tablet with almost similar features, this was a little expensive. People were waiting for a device with Mipad like features at a lower price. At the same time, the Indian Brand iZotron tapped this wonderful opportunity and introduced its first “Mipad” tablet - Mipad 07.

iZotron Mipad 07 is a 7-inch high resolution tablet that runs on latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow version which is definitely an advantage over Xiaomi Mipad which runs on Android 4.4 KitKat version. With this latest version, one can be sure of getting impressive user experience. At a competitive price of 4290 INR, the tablet is highly proficient in its display and performance. Another advantage of iZotron Mipad 07 over Xiaomi Mipad is the presence of 3G voice calling feature in Mipad 07.

The tablet boasts power-packed Quad Core processor with 1GB RAM, which ensures a smooth navigating experience. It has a dual camera with the flash feature. With 8 GB internal memory and 32 GB expandable memory, the tablet is fair enough to store a good amount of data. The iZotron Mipad 07 may have a few features less than Xiaomi Mipad but it is definitely a good deal when you consider Android Tablet PCs under 5000 segment. With flawless design, improved performance and advanced features, the tablet is not only affordable but is perfect to fulfil everyday needs of the common users.

Lastly, for those who abide by the PM Modi’s “Make in India” plan, iZotron should definitely be a preferred choice as it is made in India by an Indian company, iZotron while Xiaomi is a Chinese brand.
