The **Xiaomi Pad 7**, now succeeded by the **Le Pad 8**, continues to be a popular choice among users looking for a high-performance tablet. It features an 11.2-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 3,200 x 2,136 pixels and a 144 Hz refresh rate, which ensures smooth scrolling and a bright display. The tablet is powered by a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor and includes an 8,850 mAh battery that can last over 18 hours of Wi-Fi browsing at moderate brightness. It weighs 500 grams and is available in an 8 GB + 256 GB configuration, which is currently on sale through the MixTech Europe Store on **AliExpress** with a discount code. Currently, the **Xiaomi Pad 7** in the 8 GB + 256 GB version is available for 228.28 €, a 30 € discount from the original 258.28 €. The promotion is valid with the code FRLD30 and is offered by a third-party seller based in France. This deal is particularly attractive for students and users who enjoy reading, annotating, or watching series on a tablet without exceeding a budget of 250 €. The 3:2 screen format, which is more suitable for reading documents and comics than the 16:9 format of most televisions, adds to its appeal. The tablet includes features such as four Dolby Atmos-compatible speakers, a high brightness level of around 850 cd/m², and a 45 W charger that can restore 54% of the battery in 30 minutes. Accessories like the Focus Pen stylus and two keyboards, including one with a touchpad, can turn the tablet into a portable notebook or a light office tool. However, the **Xiaomi Pad 7** lacks a fingerprint reader, 4G or 5G connectivity, and a headphone jack. The stylus and keyboards are sold separately, starting from 99.90 €. While the **Xiaomi Pad 7** is no longer the latest model, it remains a strong option for those looking for a budget-friendly tablet. Its successor, the **Le Pad 8**, is considered the best value for money in recent comparisons, but it starts at a higher price of 365 €. The **Xiaomi Pad 7** still offers a bright 3,2K screen, long battery life, and a well-made build. However, users who need cellular connectivity, a fingerprint reader, or the latest features may want to consider the **Pad 8** or other models. The current offer on **AliExpress** includes free returns within 90 days and shipping from France, which helps reduce typical concerns about third-party purchases.
