Real User Experience: Switching from iPad to Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro
If your primary uses for a tablet revolve around studying and binge-watching your favorite shows, and you’re thinking about making a purchase, why not dive into this post for some insights?
🍀Let me share my personal experience: As someone who’s been using the Xiaomi 15 as my main device, I decided to replace my iPad with the Xiaomi Pad.
It’s been my go-to companion ever since its release, and so far, it’s been an enjoyable journey!
My previous tablet was the iPad 10 (64GB), which I picked up toward the end of 2022. However, with limited storage capacity, I started exploring alternatives and eventually settled on the Xiaomi Pad. After spending considerable time with it, here’s what I’ve gathered:
1.
For streaming shows and tackling academic tasks, it performs admirably—more than sufficient for these needs.
2. While it works well as a standalone device, its interoperability with other gadgets leaves something to be desired.
3. The overall performance is smooth, though finer optimizations could use improvement.
4. There are occasional minor hiccups that might slightly dampen the user experience.
5. If budget isn’t a constraint, opting for a higher-storage iPad is ideal; however, if funds are tight, the Xiaomi Pad offers a solid alternative.

I totally get what you mean about the Xiaomi Pad being great for studying and entertainment. I’ve heard the build quality is impressive, but did you find the ecosystem integration as seamless as with an iPad? Anyway, it’s cool that you’re enjoying it so far!
Thank you for your comment! While the Xiaomi Pad’s ecosystem isn’t quite as seamless as Apple’s, it still works smoothly with other Xiaomi devices I own. It’s definitely a strong contender for cross-platform users looking to save some money without sacrificing quality. Glad you enjoyed reading my experience!
Interesting read! I’ve been considering switching from my iPad to an Android tablet too, especially for media consumption. How’s the app compatibility on Xiaomi Pad compared to iPadOS? Also, does the 120Hz screen make a noticeable difference when reading or watching videos?
Thanks for your comment! The Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro handles most popular media apps like Netflix and YouTube very well, though some niche apps might have fewer optimizations than iPadOS. The 120Hz screen definitely makes scrolling and animations smoother, especially for reading—it’s one of my favorite features. Personally, I think it’s a great choice for media-focused users!
