News & Reviews:   Xiaomi Pad Mini Malaysia pre-order

Most tablets are usually larger (11 inches or more). However, Xiaomi is expanding its tablet range with the Xiaomi Pad Mini. This is Xiaomi's first compact tablet, with a screen size of only 8.8 inches.

But is this RM1999 tablet better than other compact tablets? Let's find out.

Last night, Xiaomi officially unveiled the Xiaomi Pad Mini in Malaysia, priced at RM2299 for the 12GB + 512GB model in Gray. Available now at Xiaomi Stores in TRX, IPC, and Paradigm Mall, as well as online via mi.com, Shopee and Lazada, the tablet also comes with a complimentary Xiaomi Pad Mini Cover (worth RM 299).

Xiaomi appears ready to launch the Redmi K Pad internationally, but with a fresh name. Leaks suggest the compact flagship will arrive in overseas markets as the Xiaomi Pad Mini, aligning it directly against Apple's iPad Mini series.
