Xiaomi is back in the tablet business and after a wait of almost two years the next iteration of the Mi Pad series have been revealed in a very conservative manner, the company revealed the Mi Pad 3 on its website and we can say that even though it isn’t close to what the leaks have revealed in the past it still is good update from its predecessors.
The successor to the hugely successful Mi Pad series, the�Xiaomi Mi Pad 3�comes with improved hardware and software mainly targeted to compete with the newly released newer generation Apple iPad.
