XIAOMI mipad to launch in India at Rs.12,999/-

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

the point is tablets are clumsy compared to laptops at home when you skype call, watch videos or even browse.
holding a tablet takes effort, but the laptop, you just keep it.

and i have noticed every around me get bored of tablets. including myself. its only my cousins kids use them to game all day.

thats true
its personal preference however
a "sofa person" will always prefer a laptop
a "couch person" will always prefer a tablet
^^ Im both I guess

Yeah that was the reason I picked N7 2013 instead of N9.

yeah N9 and N6 are really overpriced imho
I guess thats why dev support is poor

Well Nexus 9 is overpriced but I won't say the same about N6. It is priced very competitively [MENTION=184724]kkn13[/MENTION]
BTW Mi pad unboxing is on geekyranjit channel. Anyone interested should check out.

Well after owning 3 Nexus devices I dont feel N6 is really worth it
It looks and feels like a glorified Moto X which is priced much better than N6 and performance etc is great

Well that is certainly been a hot topic to argue on but I am looking forward for S6 launch on Monday. I got a invite to their conference.

ohh nice
S6 is interesting
Im not too thrilled at the same time- the curves might be tougher to protect, tougher to get a proper cover etc
My own phone(Lumia 720) has a slightly curved display at the edges and ive had trouble with another phone of the same model(my 1st 720 was black,after I broke the display,I sold it and bought a red one)
one thing is there,Curved displays look unique and cool
should be an interesting concept but not one I would bet my money on

So I guess the price is not a lot weird. The launch the base model for 49k and edge model for 58k. Might be a noticeable reduction in the near future.

not worth it imho
a good phone shouldnt cross 28k imho
Look at OPO and Yureka,offer flagship like stuff for so cheap
especially One Plus One,its a proper flagship for 20k
even Mipad for that matter is certainly underpriced
give that hardware to Google and they price it wayy above(Nexus 9)

I think its time to give a chance to other brands now
the usual brands are taking consumers for granted

earlier it was quality differences but no longer,that gap has gone
regular brands have worsened hardware quality and new brands have improved
^If ASS is ignored that is

Mi pad reviews should pour in after a few days.
I am thinking (may be unsuccessful also) to gift this particular Tablet to my daughter so that she could play games.

im so tempted but i already have so many ipads and an ipad look-alike isnt what im after
I want something different for my next purchase
Im tempted to pick up another Nexus 7 or wait for a One Plus tablet

I would still advice not to pick up mi pad. But yeah nexus 7 is ever green and will be a dev dolly for atleast the next 2 years or so.

Why so annoyed with mi pad?
Any reasons in particular??????
Not every gadget freaks/users are developers or programmers or system builders.Without undermining Nexus ,the screen size is a con for me and nothing else.
