Xiaomi re-entered the tablet category with the launch of the Xiaomi Pad 5 series in August 2021. The non-pro model made its way to multiple international markets in the next few months. A year after its release, the product is now finally receiving the Android 12 update globally.
Xiaomi debuted the Xiaomi Pad with MIUI 12.5 for Pad based on Android 11. It was updated to MIUI 13 before releasing in markets like India.
A few days back, the table got access to the Android 12 update in China. This update is now also available for the EEA and Global variants of the device.
However, it is worth noting that the latest software update for the product is in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. In simpler words, it has been only made available for a select few users.
If these early adopters don’t face any major issues, then the update will be made available for more units in the coming days. At the same time, we also expect Xiaomi to extend the availability of the update to more regional variants, like India, Russia, Turkey, and Taiwan.
That said, it is sad that Xiaomi Pad 5 is receiving the Android 12 update only now when Android 13 is already out. It would have been nice if the company had released Android 12L instead as Samsung is doing for its tablet lineup.
As of now, it is not known whether the Xiaomi Pad 5 will get the Android 13 update in the future. But it could receive MIUI 14 update.
