Mi Pad 4 Plus: Bigger Display
As suggested by the “Plus” in its name, the Mi Pad 4 Plus will feature a bigger display compared to the standard Mi Pad 4. While the Mi Pad 4 features an 8.0-inch IPS LCD display with 1200 x 1920 WUXGA resolution, the Mi Pad 4 Plus will come equipped with a 10-inch display. The resolution of the panel, however, has not been confirmed yet. Aside from the difference in display size, it is possible that the Mi Pad 4 Plus will come with at least a few other upgrades. Under the hood, however, we expect the Mi Pad 4 Plus to be powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor as the Mi Pad 4. Qualcomm may have announced the successor to the chipset recently but there is no doubt that the Snapdragon 660 still remains one of the most capable mid-range mobile chipsets out there in terms of both performance as well as efficiency. In terms of connectivity, the Mi Pad 4 Plus is expected to support Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band, Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, 4G LTE, and a USB Type-C port. To fuel the bigger display, Xiaomi is also likely to equip the Mi Pad 4 Plus with a bigger battery than the Mi Pad 4. The Mi Pad 4 packs a 6000mAh non-removable battery, which is quite large for an 8-inch tablet and helps it deliver pretty impressive battery life. On the software front, we expect the Mi Pad 4 Plus to ship with Android 8.1 Oreo-based MIUI 10 out of the box at launch.
