We knew that Xiaomi devices would be launched at the event for India today, and if you were waiting for a new tablet this could be of interest to you. The Xiaomi Mi Pad is a Flipkart exclusive for India and price, specs and more are coming right up. Availability of the tablet will start from March 24th.

Earlier today we informed readers all about the Redmi 2 which was also launched at today’s event, so if you want details of the new smartphone for India check that out at the link. Now it’s time to turn our attention to the Mi Pad tablet, which is extremely competitively priced and could offer some real competition to the likes of the Apple iPad mini and Google Nexus 9.

The Mi Pad price for India is Rs. 12,999 and unlike the Redmi 2 it will be available from Flipkart without registration. Key specs are a 2.2GHZ Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, Kepler graphics, and a 7.9-inch display with resolution of 2048 x 1536 resulting in 326 ppi. It has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD to 128GB), and a 6700 mAh battery.

The Xiaomi MiPad carries an 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p video capture, and a 5-megapixel front-facing unit. It runs the Android KitKat-based MIUI ROM optimized for tablets and is 8.5mm thick, weighing in at 360g. We don’t know about you but with the price tag that Xiaomi has given for the Mi Pad, we imagine there will be plenty of demand for this affordable tablet.
