0:05hardware and software features in a more
0:07hands-on point of view kind of thing. No
0:08opinions from us whatsoever. We’re
0:10calling this device walkthrough. If you
0:12want to hear our thoughts about the
0:13tablet itself, feel free to watch our
0:15full review here on the channel. And
0:17without further ado, let’s get right
0:19into the video. [music]
0:23First up, flashing on your screen, the
0:25full specs for the Xiaomi Pad Mini. You
0:27may pause the video if you need more
0:28time to read through the specs.
0:33Now, let’s look at the inputs and
0:34outputs.
0:37[music]
0:40If you’ll notice, we have two USBC ports
0:43here. One is a USB 2.0 and another is a
0:46USB 3.2 Gen 1, which means it supports
0:49widecreen projection via HDMI as well as
0:52display port 1.4. There’s no micro SD
0:54card slot here, though, and no SIM tray
0:57either. Flipping over to the front, the
0:59tablet has an 8.8 in 3K IPS LCD, which
1:02has a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz.
1:05Checking out the RM info, it is
1:07Whitevine L1 certified, and it supports
1:09both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

2:27physical keyboard features and it has
2:29styler support, specifically the Xiaomi
2:32focus pen, which snaps magnetically onto
2:34the tablet with the top side.
2:38This being a tablet, there are two main
2:40ways to multitask. First is this
2:42workstation mode that lets you open up
2:44up to four window tabs at the same time.
2:47You can achieve the same effect in
2:48regular tablet mode by opening two apps
