Since for the moment Xiaomi still does not present a new tablet with Windows, Those who prefer a tablet with this operating system have to look for other options, and it must be said that in recent times a few quite interesting Chinese tablets have been launched whose prices, in fact, are not too far, as we are going to see in this comparative: Mi Pad 3 vs Teclast X3 Plus.
Designer
Although the Teclast X3 Plus It has good finishes, metal casing included, what stands out the most about it is, logically, that we find a 2 in 1, and not with a conventional tablet like the Mi Pad 3. One detail that we find particularly interesting is that they have had no qualms about imitating the Surface and adding a rear support to make it more stable. Keep in mind, of course, that in most of the offers that we are going to find the keyboard is not included, which is sold separately.
Dimensions
Although their prices are not too different, we do have a very large difference in dimensions, which is mainly due to the size of the tablet's screen. Teclast, as we will see. It does not make sense to assess the optimization made with each of them, therefore, but it is necessary to be aware that the X3 Plus it is much bigger (20,04 x 13,26 cm against 29,5 x 18,3 cm), heavy (328 grams against 871 grams) and, although in comparison this difference is irrelevant, it is also gross (6,95 mm against 10mm).
Screen
As we just mentioned, the screen of X3 Plus is much larger than that of the Mi Pad 3 (of 7.9 inches), because it even exceeds 10 inches, reaching up to 11.6 inches, although this is not surprising in a 2 in 1, but on the contrary, to be appreciated. It also has a different aspect ratio, since it has adopted the already usual 3: 2 of this type of device, while in the other we have 4: 3 (optimized for reading). Where the tablet clearly lags behind Teclast is in resolution (2048 x 1536 against 1920 x 1200).
Unlimited
In the performance section, the hardware of the tablet Teclast It is also more in line with what we expect from a tablet with which to work and taking into account that it has to run Windows 10, it is not surprising that with Intel Apollo Lake y 6 GB that surpasses that of the Mi Pad 3 with your processor Mediatek a 2,1 GHz and its 4 GB RAM memory. It must be emphasized that your operating system is also more demanding.
Storage capacity
In the section of storage capacity, however, we find that with both they arrive with 64 GB of internal memory, although with the tablet of Teclast we will have less available, simply because Windows 10 takes up more space. Taking into account that, on the other hand, it has a card slot micro-SDIt seems to us that as a whole the balance should be tipped on its side despite that detail.
Cameras
The cameras of the X3 Plus (5 SM the main and 2 SM the frontal are much inferior to those of Mi Pad 3 (13 and 5 MP, respectively), but if we consider that in a 2-in-1, even if only because of their size, it is even more unlikely that we will use them frequently, it probably should not be a deciding factor for most of its potential buyers.
Autonomy
However, the Teclast tablet has a higher capacity battery (6600 mAh against 8000 mAh), but again, although for different reasons, we find a data that is not too relevant: we must think that its screen and its processor have very different characteristics and its consumption, therefore, should be higher. In general, with the 2 in 1 Windows we have to assume in advance that we are going to lose autonomy compared to Android tablets.
Mi Pad 3 vs Teclast X3 Plus: final balance of the comparison and price
As we said at the beginning, this is a rather strange comparison aimed at those who were left with the desire to see a My Pad with Windows, because they are actually two very different types of tablets. And yet, we find that being relatively expensive (for a Chinese tablet) the Android tablet of Xiaomi It has as quite direct competitors for price at 2 in 1 as powerful as this one.
In general, and as always when we compare the Android and Windows mid-range, if we bet on the Mi Pad 3 we are going to win in the multimedia section, with more resolution and better cameras, and in mobility, being more compact and, presumably, having better autonomy. With the tablet of TeclastOn the contrary, we have a more powerful option to work with, with Windows 10, a larger screen and the possibility of gaining more storage space through a micro-SD card.
