Via Weibo, Xiaomi has sent out two comparison charts, pitting its MiPad against the new Nexus 9 and iPad Mini 3.
See them after the break.
MiPad uses 32-bit version of K1 CPU; Nexus 9 uses 64-bit. MiPad offers a version with 64GBs of internal storage; Nexus 9 maxes at 32GBs. MiPad has a microSD card slot that can accept a 128GB card; Nexus 9 has no card slot. MiPad has a 7.9-inch screen; Nexus 9 has 8.9-inch. MiPad has MIUI 6 over 32-bit Android 4.4; Nexus 9 will have pure 64-bit Android 5.0 Lollipop. The MiPad has 5MP front and 8MP back cameras; the Nexus 9 has 1.6MP front and 8MP back cameras. A 64GB MiPad costs about US$278 (direct from Xiaomi; middlemen will increase that price); a 32GB Nexus 9 will cost US$479.
The iPad Mini 3 is the iPad Mini 2 with Touch ID added. Interestingly, this second chart confirms that the MiPad K1 CPU is the 32-bit version. This chart, unlike the first, wasn’t created by Xiaomi (the Copyright notice at bottom indicates that).

Apart from the diagonal, there’s really little reasons to pick the nexus instead of the mipad. For 1 inch gain the sd slot goes away and the price inflates a lot.
64-bit CPU, 64-bit Android Lollipop, pure Android, at least 10K more AnTuTu point performance, XDA Developers support, to name a few. And for people outside of China, the Nexus 9 is easier to buy and fewer problems if an exchange is needed.
This is basically why I’ll be getting the Nexus 9. Without a doubt someone on XDA will port MIUI V6 to it (if that was a reason you were getting a MiPad) and I do like the extra inch of screen real estate. Really wish it was a 9.7″ screen and had Micro SD though!
Do you know when xiaomi will launch in India?
They have already been selling in India. The company is called Mi India, I think.
