What owners say about the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 WiFi (2GB + 64GB)

Based on 23 owners sharing their experience in online comments

26%positive13%mixed61%negative

Owners value the recovery method, but recurring power failures and poor battery life make the experience frustrating.

What owners dislike

  • Tablets stay dead after hours or days of charging, with a blinking red light or black screen, and holding volume-up with power did not help.11
  • Owners could not install or update apps from the app store, saw Instagram marked incompatible, and had a video app stuck on an old version.9
  • After an update, some tablets got stuck in a boot loop or recovery screen, and owners said newer software and security patches were missing.8
  • Some owners found the touchscreen frozen, with half the screen not responding or no touch input at the password screen, even after a reboot.5
  • Battery drains fast when Wi-Fi stays on with the screen off; enabling airplane mode helps, and a new battery gave only a small gain.4
  • Web pages load much slower than on other devices on the same connection, and the screen stutters and hangs, especially when the tablet gets hot.3
  • The temporary fix worked briefly, but the black screen came back, sometimes after only a few seconds of light, even after reflashing.3
  • The back gets very warm, and the screen can shake and hang when hot; one owner's thermal mod kept the processor near 60°C under load.3

Points mentioned by at least 3 owners, most mentioned first.
