Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9: Price in India, Features and Specifications

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9 features a 7.9-inch IPS LCD display with a sharp 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution and a pixel density of approximately 326 PPI — identical to the Apple iPad mini Retina display of the same era. The 4:3 aspect ratio is well-suited for document reading, browsing, and media consumption. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 provides reliable scratch resistance. This was a standout display for a budget-to-mid-range tablet at its 2015 India launch price. All display details are for informational reference only as the device is permanently discontinued.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9 is powered by the NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor — the world's first mobile chipset to feature a desktop-class Kepler GPU architecture. The quad-core 2.2GHz Cortex-A15 CPU is paired with a 192-core ULP GeForce Kepler GPU — delivering gaming performance that reviewers compared favourably to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at its 2014 global launch. With 2GB of RAM, it handled demanding games, 4K video playback, and intensive multimedia tasks exceptionally well for its era.

For a 2014–2015 budget tablet, the 8MP f/2.0 rear camera was a genuinely capable inclusion. The 5MP front camera is well-suited for video calls and selfies.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9 launched on Android 4.4.4 KitKat with MIUI 7 — Xiaomi's custom interface optimised for tablet use. The final software update brought MIUI 9.2 but remained based on Android 4.4.4. As a permanently discontinued device, software support has fully ended. Running Android 4.4 in 2026 means the vast majority of modern apps will no longer be compatible or functional. The device's unlocked bootloader supports custom ROM flashing for advanced users.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9 came in two storage configurations — 16GB and 64GB — both with a dedicated microSDXC card slot supporting expandable storage up to 128GB. The dedicated microSD slot does not require giving up any SIM card slot — a genuinely practical everyday inclusion. All storage details are for informational reference only as the device is permanently discontinued.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9 covers impressive connectivity for a 2014–2015 budget tablet — supporting dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Wi-Fi 5), Bluetooth 4.0, and Micro-USB 2.0. Notably, it does not support GPS — an omission that limits its navigation use. No SIM card slot, NFC, or FM radio. All connectivity details are based on the India launch variant.
