Hi

Oh, now I get it. That’s new to me.
I agree. 7 is future proof. 6 is obsolete. Future updates of Android and HyperOS are super important. Especially in time of having new and new AI features and agents so often.
I know what you mean (Xiaomi “share” feature or what is the name) but no, this is different – any device with ability of casting can see and use it as external wireless monitor – I am sure even Samsung phone 👍 I have mentioned phone as an example. This is not Xiaomi specific that is why I love this feature. Samsung tablets have it for a while, now finally also Xiaomi tablet has it.
“mirror any phone”. I think only Xiaomi phones can do that. Since I only have the Pad 6. So can Samsung phones able to mirror-screen to Pad 7?
I cannot confirm 6, but I know 5 does not have it – if it is SW (we dont know).
Spacedesk requires SW on both devices. That is sometimes problem especially on corporate laptops (due to restrictions or policy).
I think the way on 7 is way better. It really acts as wireless monitor in network. For instance you can mirror any phone screen on tablet as you would normally do on TV. So basically you can share any content no matter what device you cast from and without any additional SW. Extending desktop should also work.
So it is future proof 👍
If it’s wireless. Pad 6 also has it. For alternative, you can use “spacedesk” on any device, even on the unsupported one.
It can act as external monitor through wireless in HyperOS 2 and it works. You just need to be on same WiFi. I dont know if 6 has it also but I found it very, very useful and handy.
It only supports output, not input.
I wouldn’t buy a Pad 6. It apparently already received its last Android version update. We got HyperOS 2 last month but it’s still running Android 14 unlike the phones where HyperOS 2 came with the Android 15 update. The Pad 7 is supposed to receive a longer update cycle than the Pad 6 has. At this point the Pad 6 only receives security patch updates and presumably some bug fixes.
7 supports external monitor mode if you have laptop 👍
Yes but the different with the price is $133 and i already have laptop and i beed the tablet for light use so that’s why i said i will buy the 6
Yes if i will buy i will buy 8GB
No it does not. 7 is almost twice as fast and has longer update support.
I’m not sure but if you intend to buy, don’t buy the 6GB ram version. I have really really bad experience with the 6GB Pad 5.
Honestly, the difference would be approximately $150 if you bought the Pad 6 instead of the Pad 7 with all the accessories.
But I only want the tablet for light use so I don’t know if it’s worth buying the Pad 7.
Why? Is it that much cheaper? I just got the pad 7 for 340€ and for that price it seems very VFM, especially now that it will get 4 instead of 2 years of updates. I wouldn’t touch anything previous gen from Xiaomi due to their quite limited support window.
Would also like to know lol neet it for the uni
