Chris here back with a follow-up video of Xiaomi's Mi Pad 4 for so I have now been
using it for about three days and I really am enjoying this tablet I find
myself using it a lot more than I probably would normally with my tablets
that I review I've just found this to be very enjoyable so far this tablet I
really do like it now there's a couple of things that weren't entirely covered
in the review well one of them was the the battery lifetime so I did end up
going through that and just wanted to point that out right here in this video
so first up is the standby battery life so I did do a test of that yesterday and
I charged it up to 100% and then I just lifted so we lost 3% only in about 12
hours and that's connected up to wireless the whole entire time so for
standby battery use it's looking really really good you can as you can see here
that it's gonna go for 338 minutes or something like that so a very long time
screen on time you probably seen it already so 12 hours 5 minutes was the
max but I will go through that so when I was testing it out I did a lot of gaming
so I played hit for almost one hour YouTube for two hours and also chrome
use for close to three hours there and Pub G for two hours as well no testing
up pub G almost two hours there that gaming you're probably gonna lose around
a belt for every hour of gaming you use about 12 percent battery life and
actually just a little bit more but I've worked it out that you can probably gain
on this tablet for about seven hours or more if not more it is actually really
quite good all depends of course on where you have the screen brightness
setting so I set it to 200 lux and it was not on automatic brightness and you
can see their screen on time of 11 hours 22 minutes I still had about 5% left so
the battery life is very solid on this so when I gave my estimate in the review
I said about 10 hours I like to underestimate a little bit just in case
because that was when I was streaming YouTube and you'd lose about 8% for
every hour so very very good better life you can see it's very steady
it's just slowly declining there and no issues it doesn't get hot at all
all gaming it it really gets warm right here that's it nothing nothing
absolutely nothing so performance of it is really good I bear in mind that my
models the 4 gigabyte one so it could be slightly different with the 3 gigabyte
model but I highly doubt that because I have tested out mobile phones and other
tech and when it's just one gigabyte less with Android it doesn't seem to be
too much of an issue be different if it was just 2 gigabytes of RAM or even one
on some of those real cheap crappy tablets you can get so overall this
tablet is really good very enjoyable there's been lots of questions in my
review people asking about the screen and things and I feel that it's not a
downgrade at all over the iPad screens and here you can see next to one of
those retinas greens this is the i5 mini 4s which has of course a four by three
aspect ratio this one 16 by 10 so a lot of people don't like that you do get
slightly smaller top and bottom bezels now this doesn't just come with the
white front on it it also comes with the black I pointed this all out in my
review of this so if you want more details on that then please of course
check out the review but to me the screen isn't really a downgrade it's not
quite as sharp but it actually tops out to be a lot brighter this one's about
340 Lux on this particular unit and this one goes way over 500 lux and it also
both of them they do dim down really dim as well so there we go solid battery
life good build quality very decent screen brighter than the me pad 3 screen
not quite as sharp it doesn't have GPS it does not have micro HDMI out that's
two things that this tablet is missing if you see my review that's really the
only thing really stopping this from being a really really good tablet and it
still comes highly recommended if you don't of course need HDMI out or GPS it
really is one of the best offerings I have seen so far and that's why I'm
using it a lot I like it but of course people have been asking me what is the
best tablet for the price and I feel it's still and always probably will be
for so long the iPad so the 2018 model iPad it supports the Apple pencil
is very powerful and the base model I think that sounds for about 300 us is
still the best bang for your buck when it comes to tablets if you want the best
a very good screen on it still that iPad Retina screen nine point seven inches
and it also has very good standby better life very good battery life plenty of
good games and apps on the Apple app stores if you're not into the Apple
ecosystem that is then something like this Android tablet is a very decent
choice
