I know people in this forum love android so... i thing i should post this here Smile

Tablet: Xiaomi MiPad

Specs:

Nvidia Tegra K1 Quad-core 2.2Ghz
192-core Kepler GPU
2GB Ram
2048x1536 screen resolution
6700 mAh battery

The price will be $240 for 16GB and $270 for 64GB model.
Whooa! i'm impressed not only by the specs but also the price.
Do you thing this will be able to run some wii games on dolphin with some optimizations?

(BTW Xiaomi also have some good smartphones)

It's definitely the best chance of an Android device running Dolphin. The mobile GPU supports all the graphics APi that it's Desktop counterpart does along with being the first Android device with OpenGL ES 3.1 support.

This is definitely the best price for such a good tablet, but who know? maybe others k1 tablet will be in the same range of price.

Can ps2 be emulated on these powerful specs?

By that logic you shouldnt buy apple products either since their price is $500+, and if you prefer tablets and dont like psvita why shouldnt you buy this?
I just said the price for this tablet with the specs it comes is rlly good.
If you compare it for example to ipad air, xperia z2 tablet or galaxy tab pro, they are more expensive than this and their specs are way lower.

@@cloud1250000 if you are expecting low prices from companies like samsung, sony, microsoft, etcetc(google might launch one) i'm sure the price will be the same as all high-end tabs $499/$599
Later this year more powerful tabs will come and then whe can compare the price.

@@Terminator If there was an android port it might play some games

Sorry for the bad english Smile

What I meant was android and iOS gaming hasn't reached console levels yet...
Sure there is modern combat, etc... But if you compare it to an x box or psvita...
Its not worth getting if you are just going to use it for gaming...
I do love tablets and iPads
And it sounds like a great tab
I just don't think the games on iOS an android are there yet
But if you are looking for a gaming device
Go with a console...
In my opinion android tabs and i- devices are powerful enough to run games but there aren't any really good games for them...
So I'd rather buy an Xbox lol

You realize you are on a "console" emulator site right? Android doesn't have many console quality native games, but the large number of console games through emulation is quite vast. Having them mobile is something buying an Xbox can't do.

Although, with the hardware specs and API of this tablet, console quality native Android games shouldn't be much farther behind. Half Life 2 and Portal are already on Android(Tegra 4) and are fairly faithful ports from their PC counterparts.

Yes i understand what you are saying. In my opinion almost all android games suck, the best use for this tablet would be emulation.
Imagine in the future when tablets get enough powerful and you can play more recent gaming consoles like ps2 Smile

@fivefeet
Yes I realize I'm on an emulator site using an android device
But still...
I understand how awesome it is to have a device for everything and playing console games portably

But till they release a stable ps2 emulator
I wouldnt buy a gaming tab...
As of now the only console games playable on android are PSP,Ds,GBA,n64,ps1 etc
And various PC ports
Nothing beyond that...
And out of those emulators very few support multiplayer...
Where as owning a console like an Xbox or any other (ps3 ps4 xboxone)
Might not allow you to play portably
It offers a better gaming experience...

I'm not saying that you or anyone else should not buy a tab..
I just said that I, me, not you, not anyone else who posts...just me

I Prefers a console
That being said
I actually look forward to the day when I can play all my games from my phone LOL

So what evs, lol?

fivefeet8 · 05-22-2014, 04:22 PM

@xboxmandude

I can also understand where you're coming from as well, but your non-exhaustive list of console emulators for Android already displays a great deal of console quality games on them(emulated of course). I can agree that Android doesn't have many multiplayer games(emulated) and if that was how you quantified the experience, then of course a real console would be better. Wink

Ios will reach the console level with some games like the walking dead season 1 and 2 , horn , asphalt 8 , dead trigger 2 and theres this other game that i dont remember but i saw it and the graphics are awesome is like a ps3 game.

Take a look at this

@xboxmandude
The point of this thread is to point out this awesome tablet, maybe you`ll not use it with games, but if you ever want to buy a tablet, you should go with that one. It`s the best and for a much better price then any new "major" tablet
