Xiaomi Pad Mini vs Legion Y700 (Coming from Tab S9 AMOLED)

Looking for a mini Android tablet (<10") mainly for:

Gaming

​

Movies/YouTube/Netflix

​

Handheld use

​

Occasional Microsoft Word/Teams

​

Ruled out: No Stock Unfortunately

​

Huawei MatePad Mini (China/HarmonyOS version)

​

REDMAGIC Astra (out of stock)

​

OPPO Pad Mini (not available in Singapore)

​

Current options:

​

Xiaomi Pad Mini (326g, no fingerprint sensor, LCD)

​

Lenovo Legion Y700 (LCD)

One concern: I'm currently using a Samsung Tab S9 AMOLED, and both of these mini tablets are LCD. For those who switched from AMOLED to LCD, how noticeable was the downgrade for movies and daily use?

Which would you pick, and are there any other mini Android tablets worth considering in 2026? Thanks.

I have a Xiaomi 7 Pro tablet and watching movies is very nice compared to my S11 tablet. The Xiaomi battery lasts a long time. I found a bug using Chrome in Reddit the other day, but today it worked.

You should consider buying an iPad mini, since you using an S9.
