Internally, the Mi Pad 3 is powered by a MediaTek MT8176 hexa-core processor, comprised of two 2.1GHz Cortex-A72 cores for intensive tasks and four 1.7GHz Cortex-A53 cores for efficiency. This chipset marks a shift from the Intel processors used in its predecessor, meaning it is restricted to the Android operating system and cannot run Windows. The device is equipped with 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 64GB of eMMC 5.0 internal storage, providing solid multitasking capabilities and decent read/write speeds, though it lacks a microSD card slot for further expansion. 

For photography and video, the tablet includes a 13-megapixel rear camera with an f/2.2 aperture and autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video, along with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls and selfies. Its battery life is supported by a large 6600 mAh non-removable battery that provides approximately 12 hours of continuous media playback, though gaming can reduce this to about 4–5 hours. While it supports fast charging, a full charge can take up to four hours due to the battery’s capacity. 

Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac), Bluetooth 4.1, and a USB Type-C 1.0 reversible connector that supports USB On-The-Go (OTG) for external peripherals. Notable hardware omissions include cellular connectivity, GPS, and a vibration motor for haptic feedback. The tablet initially ran MIUI 8 based on Android 7.0 (Nougat) and was later updated to MIUI 9, which introduced performance optimizations and a cleaner interface, though it still lacked standard Android features like native split-screen multitasking at the time.
