Xiaomi has just announced its fourth-gen tablet, the Mi Pad 4. The company introduced this tablet in China, as per usual, and it’s one of the very few new tablets that we’ve seen announced this year. The Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 is a mid-range tablet, as were its predecessors, and it’s made out of metal. The Mi Pad 4 sports thinner bezels than its predecessors, but those bezels are still there, which was to be expected for a tablet, of course, it would be really uncomfortable to use a tablet if bezels were as thin as they are on modern smartphones.

There’s a single camera included on the back of this tablet, while you will also notice Xiaomi’s logo on the back of this device.
