Auf den ersten Blick sieht Xiaomis Pad 7 wie ein Klon des Standard-iPads aus – das kann man durchaus als selbstbewusstes Statement der Chinesen interpretieren. Doch kann es tatsächlich auch technisch mit dem Original mithalten? In vielen Bereichen kommt es zumindest schon sehr nah dran, wie der große Test im Labor von COMPUTER BILD zeigt. Besonders das 11,2-Zoll-Display hat es uns im Test angetan: enorme Schärfe, starke Helligkeit und eine insgesamt hochwertige Darstellung heben das Gerät von günstigen Android-Tablets ab.
