Verdict

The Xiaomi Pad 6 checks quite a few boxes when it comes to offering a smooth, value-for-money Android tablet experience. The upgraded design, sharper display, powerful performance unit and all-day battery life come without attracting any additional cost over the outgoing model, which is a great plus point. However, it has been a whole year since we got the Pad 5 and it would have been nice to have a more recent processor in the new model. Things such as a fingerprint sensor is still missing and there’s no cellular model either. And finally, we expected better battery life especially for video playback. 

The Xiaomi Pad 6 can also be used as a productivity machine with its set of optional accessories and with the bundle offer, it would actually still cost less than something like the OnePlus Pad (Review). The latter is a more premium tablet that also costs a bit more and could be worth stretching your budget for if you want a more unique looking tablet, better processing power, and nicer accessories.
