Xiaomi has finally launched its latest tablet for the global market. The tablet is dubbed Xiaomi Pad 5 which is in line with the company’s recent decision to drop the Mi brand for “Xiaomi”. The Pad 5 is no different from the China variant but apparently, Xiaomi isn’t bringing the Pad 5 Pro to the global market.
In terms of specifications, Xiaomi Pad 5 is equipped with a large 11-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a high refresh rate of 120Hz, a PPI of up to 275, and a contrast ratio of 1500:1. The slate is also said to support hardware anti-blue light and true color display functions.
In order to deliver a premium audio experience and video experience, the Pad 5 supports Dolby Atmos. It also features four built-in speakers.
Xiaomi Pad 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 860 processor paired with 6GB RAM. The slate comes in two storage options – 128GB and 256GB.
The Pad 5 also excels in the camera department, packing a single 13MP camera with LED flash at the rear. For selfies, there is a single 8MP camera at the front which also supports Face unlock.
In terms of battery life, the Pad 5 packs an 8720mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. It runs on the new MIUI For Pad operating system. The MIUI For Pad brings features such as custom input methods, split screens, small windows, parallel windows, and other functions.
Xiaomi also introduced the Xiaomi Smart Pen, a stylus pen featuring a two-button design of which the main button supports quick notes and switching brushes while the secondary button supports long-pressing to take screenshots and switching colors. At the same time, it supports PPT page turning operation. The Smart Pen will be sold separately. Xiaomi didn’t mention the keyboard-style double-sided protective case but we expect that to also make an appearance in the future.
Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pricing & Availability
As for the pricing, the Xiaomi Pad 5 starts at €349 for the 6GB + 128GB variant while the 6GB + 256GB variant is priced at €399. The tablet is available in two colors: Cosmic Gray and Pearl White.
