I already wrote a lengthy comment but I have a few more points to add. I mainly bought it for watching YouTube and movies. It's honestly fantastic for that one purpose. The screen is big, speakers are loud and headphone jack is a nice feature to see. Once I realized that there's a lot more a tablet can do, I tried using it for that. So, games, web browsing, drawing and kind of a media center for music when I'm doing chores around the house.
As I mentioned earlier the tablet runs at 90hz in Xiaomi browser, settings, home screen and remaining Xiaomi pre installed apps. You want to browse using your favorite browser at advertised 90hz? Too bad. Want to draw? Nope. Wanna play games? Not gonna happen. I'm sure that it will be resolved at some point in the future but as of today, it is not. Seeing as it is one of their main selling points and it's broken on release, that's not a good look.
Again, as mentioned earlier when you connect it to a Bluetooth speaker (I tried 3 different brands), you can't control the volume from the tablet. Why that is I don't know but it's yet again such a fundamental 'feature' which is either missing or broken.
The last issue is its speed. Or rather, sluggishness. 4 browser tabs? Too much. 3 apps open at once? The tablet will close everything to focus resources on the currently running one. Using 2 apps with split screen also wasn't really an ideal experience.
And yeah. I know this is one of the cheapest tablets there are but my previous experience with Xiaomi phones made me think this was going to be a good purchase despite its sad looking spec sheet. I'm left somewhat disappointed after my nearly 2 weeks with the tablet.
Overall, if watching stuff on it is your goal, go for it with clear conscience. If you wanna do anything else, pay up and get something proper like a Xiaomi pad 5 or 6.

really depends on the price, if this is price at 100 USD then it's kinda okay i guess, but if you have a bit more to chew a redmi pad will be better with better chipset, ufs, and etc.

Maybe GSMArena got it wrong? It says "Exp. release 2023, September" at the top of the page.

It... moreAs far as I understand, buying Xiaomi products in China is similar to buying directly from manufacturer, so you skip both distributors and retailers, thus the price can be much cheaper. Sadly, it's impossible outside of China - you have to pay import fees and value added tax in EU. And then distributors and importers and retailers also want to have some profit, so the price is easily doubled.

I assume that the tablet has no GPS sensor. Am I right?

On my a52s, it works. Not sure if that answers your question.
