Expect in-depth tech reviews, comparisons, unboxings and hands-on features with fresh new UK smartphones, laptops, wearables, apps and other new gadgets. With over 20 years of experience reviewing technology, UK journalist Chris Barraclough has written for Tech Radar and dozens of PC/smartphone publications, as well as editing Mobile Choice magazine. Like Unbox Therapy, Supersaf, MKBHD and others, he also spent several years presenting tech-based YouTube videos for the likes of Tech Radar and Recombu. We don't just pull things out of boxes here. We dive deep into those smartphones, gaming machines, smartwatches and other tech - Chris uses each device as it was intended for a proper real-life review, and doesn't just cover the shiny expensive stuff. You'll find budget kit as well, because we're not all minted. Check out The Spurt Hole for non-techy shenanigans!

Video Description
The Xiaomi Pad Mini is an affordable Android alternative to iPad's compact tablet for 2025, boasting slick gaming chops and beefy specs, crammed into less than nine inches. This unboxing and 48 hour review covers the performance, battery life and other bits of the Xiaomi Pad Mini. Check out the rest of my tablet videos for other Android rivals. Powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9400 Plus (same as the 15T Pro phone), this small slate can cope with Wuthering Waves and other games even on the highest graphical settings. The Xiaomi Pad Mini also boasts a 3K LCD screen, as well as quite powerful Dolby Atmos speakers. And battery life is solid for a compact tablet, offering over a dozen hours of video streaming or mixed app use before you'll need to plug back in. So, is the Xiaomi Pad Mini an ideal compact Android tablet? Well, not everyone will enjoy the slightly clunky HyperOS experience. This heavy launcher can be rather clunky and less streamlined than alternatives. Occasionally the UI can judder, while the responsiveness dies if your thumb strays even slightly onto that screen.
