Other key features of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 are the USB Type-C connector that supports Fast Charging, 8-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, 5MP front camera, 6190 mAh battery. The Mi Pad 2 tablet is 18% thinner than its predecessor and has the following dimensions: length 200.4, width 132.6, thickness 6.95mm.
