The CPU listed is wrong. This doesn't use AMD chip lol.
It's nice it comes with the s-pen, but at that price, I would suggest buying a MiPad 5 instead. Came out late last year so it's a newer device. Better specs overall and the price is roughly the same, if not cheaper (depends where you buy from).
I got mine for $500 from Aliexpress (including tax + shipping, etc). Mine's the 256GB model and it's awesome. Bezels are super thin, 120hz screen, better wifi chip as well and much bigger battery. Standby time is insane and this has always been one of Xiaomi's strengths, just really good battery life overall. Better SOC as well. And as far as I know and have tested and verified personally, it doesn't get throttled and it doesn't even run hot. Can't say the same about Samsung devices, especially with their latest S22 line:

Also, Samsung KNOX sucks and it's a pain to deal with. If you're a power user who likes to root and try out custom ROMs and do a bunch of cool stuff with your device, I would stay away from Samsung. Had my fair share of Samsung devices from Galaxy S5, S8+, S10 and S20 (all work phones) and they just suck overall compared to other phones I've used.
OR, you can get the Teclast T40 Pro, which has pretty good specs for the price (I got it for $250) and it performs well. Lots of good reviews for this over at OzBargain. I just received mine today actually. Got it bootloader unlocked and rooted easily within 30 mins.
