The Mi Pad 4 Plus packs a 10.1-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) display with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a pixel density of 224 PPI. The new Xiaomi tablet is powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor coupled with 4GB of RAM and an Adreno 512 GPU to handle the graphics.
The Mi Pad 4 Plus comes in two storage variants, 64GB and 128GB, which is expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card.
