    and IPad 9.7” 2018 more powerful than your Mi Pad 4
    Has much better screen
    and battery life enough for 3-4 days of havy use.
    and it’s ...Apple. You could actually sell it after couple years unlike Xiaomi.

    u should buy one!

    antutu benchmark 180k vs 140k - not a lot in it.

    battery life a lot longer on the mi pad 4 plus - 17 vs 9 hrs

    the screen is actually not that good - it's from 2012. it's not all about resolution. plus horrific thick bezels and ancient aspect ratio on the ipad base version.

    I'd just buy a Chromebook or iPad. Android tablets aren't worth bothering with.

    Google Drive, Maps , Gmail, YouTube working flawlessly on iOS .
    Having android phone and iOS tablet is WIN-WIN combination.

    Google home integration works on ios?

    How is it that if you go on the Apple forum and recommend an Android tab you get called a troll and told not post again. But not the other way around. The thread title specifically asks for an Android tab, in the Android forum

    I am not Apple fan , never been , I am just saying , android tablets not worth considering, unless they half price of IPads

    I would never buy Xiaomi Mi 8 for €1100... I’ve bought it for €368
    Same goes for tablets ... mi 4 pad great tablet ... for €150 .. not more.

    Is the mi fully functional with lineage on it? No bugs with anything like fingerprint sensor etc? Does the auto brightness work properly?

    yes - takes micro sd cards up to 256gb

    don't know about any bugs on lineage in detail.

    if you go to the link that I posted for xds the only bug listed currently is that double-tap-to-wake on screen doesn't work currently.

    up to you - if you are set on an android tablet it's the best value for what you get imo.

    i went for the 8 inch version myself - prefer that size and portability.
