The Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 and Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Plus are tablet computers produced by Xiaomi. The Mi Pad 4 was introduced alongside the Redmi 6 Pro on June 25, 2018, and the Mi Pad 4 Plus followed on August 14 of the same year.[3] The primary differences between the models are the display diagonal and the inclusion of a fingerprint scanner on the Mi Pad 4 Plus.[4]
The Mi Pad 4 exists in both LTE and Wi-Fi-only versions, whereas the Mi Pad 4 Plus was sold exclusively with LTE support.
Design
The display is made of glass and the frame is made of metal.[5]
The screen features rounded corners and relatively thin side bezels. On the bottom bezel of the Mi Pad 4 Plus, an oval fingerprint scanner is located.
In a vertical orientation, the bottom houses the USB-C port, stereo speakers, and a microphone, while the 3.5 mm audio jack is located at the top. The left side contains the microSD slot (up to 256 GB[6]) and the Nano-SIM slot for LTE models, while the right side features the volume rocker and power button.
The Mi Pad 4 and Mi Pad 4 Plus were sold in Black and Rose Gold colors.
