I chose Xiaomi because cheaper (at least in my country $60) and the difference isn't that much at this category. I always check price to spec since these tablets are basic level.

I meant that I believe that the Samsung Galaxy A9+ is much better than the Redmi Pad se simply because of the specs and the fact that for some reason the Redmi Pad is actually more expensive than the a9+??????
