Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Vs Mi Pad 3 Android Tablet Specifications Comparison

Whereas, the Mi Pad 3 is powered by MediaTek MT8176 2.1 GHz hexa-core processor coupled with PowerVR GX6250. Mi Pad 3 packs 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB inbuilt storage. Also, Mi Pad 3 does not have a card slot like its successor. With regards to the processor and RAM, the Mi Pad 4 is worth upgrading if you do heavy multitasking and gaming on your tablet.

Moving to the camera, the Mi Pad 3 comes with a 13 MP, f/2.2 aperture camera on the rear side and a 5 MP f/2.0 camera on the front. The camera on the Mi Pad 3 was not that great, but it was useful in the tablet category of its range. As per the camera configuration files which are leaked online, the Mi Pad 3 successor, the Mi Pad 4 might pack a 13-megapixel OmniVision OV13855 sensor with f/2.0 aperture on the rear side and a 5 MP  Samsung S5K5E8 sensor with f/2.0 aperture on the front. Now, these are just camera specs. How good is the camera? We can tell you this once we get our hands on the tablet.

Both the tablets have 8 inches full HD display this time the form factor of the screen might be different. The Mi Pad 3 features a 7.9 inches display with 1536 x 2048 pixels and 4:3 aspect ratio. As per leaks, Mi Pad 4 will also have a full HD display with a better PPI density and 16:10 aspect ratio. The bezels on the Mi Pad 4 will also be thinner which will make it more compact as compared to the Mi Pad 3.

Mi Pad 3 comes out of the box with Android Marshmallow 6.0 which feels outdated in 2018, while the Mi Pad 4 will run on Android Oreo 8.1 out of the box. It is also rumored that Mi Pad 4 could be the first Xiaomi devices to get to taste the MIUI 10.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 packs a 6600 mAh battery while the Mi Pad 4 might pack a 6000 mAh battery. Despite the bigger battery on the Mi Pad 3, both tablets will give you almost same battery life.
