The Xiaomi Pad 5 is part of Xiaomi’s flagship series and is a more affordable version of its Pro version. It was launched in August 2021 with Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 and bagged MIUI 13 in China earlier this year. Fast forward to today, and the MIUI 13 update is now rolling out to the global version as well.
The update carrying firmware version V13.0.1.0.RKXMIXM has a simple changelog (via Xiaomiui) that talks about improved system performance, stability, and security. Still, one can expect all of the goodies that MIUI 13 Global brings including UX-improving features and a multitude of new wallpapers (yep, that’s about it).

The MIUI 13 OTA update for the Xiaomi Pad 5 is sized about 495MB and can be downloaded through this official link. But if you wish to download the complete package, then you can do it through this recovery ROM link. Manual installation is unnecessary, though, considering the build should be rolled out widely quite soon — if it hasn’t already.
Do keep in mind that the update is still based on Android 11 and it isn’t clear when Xiaomi plans to roll out Android 12 for the tablet.
Xiaomi had earlier announced MIUI 13 Pad with a number of optimizations designed to make Android and some of its apps look better on a larger screen. It isn’t clear if these features have made it to the global version of the tablet, but we should be seeing that soon enough.
