Xiaomi Pad 5 Tablet | Unboxing & Full Tour

Unboxing the Xiaomi Pad 5 tablet, with a hands-on review covering the specs, gaming chops and best features of this Android device. The budget-friendly UK price (£369/349 Euros) makes the Xiaomi Pad 5 one of the best affordable tablets of 2021, packing serious specs for a low cost.
If you want a slate that runs full Android these days, your choices are pretty limited. Samsung and Lenovo offer some options, otherwise it's the budget Amazon Fire tabs (with their heavy overlay etc). However, the fresh new Xiaomi Pad 5 is an alternative tablet with full Google Play access for apps and games. And with a Snapdragon 860 powering the show, you can get gaming on Genshin Impact, CoDM, anything you like.
That 11-inch IPS screen is bright and boasts Dolby Vision support, while the quad speaker setup can pump out Dolby Atmos audio. So movie fans will love it, and the stylus support makes this Xiaomi tablet great for editing, sketching and other creative tasks.

Eh I'd rather have the lower price, I'll be waiting for the keyboard case not the pen.

[@jaybiedayy884]

Well to be fair Samsungs S pen wasn't really anything special lol it had poor latency and wasn't really a smart device and that's why it was free in the box 😂 and now they're selling the S pen pro sold separately 😙 don't hate on the apple pencil being sold separately 🙃

Just got this tablet on Friday, its really good, performs wells and it really did beat flagship tablets, 120Hz 11 inch display tablet under 360 dollars which is really surprising because most 120Hz display tablets costs way too expensive

Hi Uncle Chris, Thank you for this review. I really love a good android tablet, sadly the choices are so ridiculously limited as you said. Ended up buying the Samsung tab S6 lite earlier this year because there is so little choice. Don't get me wrong it's a nice enough tablet but the quad speaker set up on this one makes it very tempting.

Other than that buit in screen recorder, split screen, 120hz etc. Yes it's great for taking notes and using Microsoft notes, excel. If you are looking to buy it than go for it.

It's an endless loop, there is not enough good android tablet on the market so developer doesn't bother optimizing it. So that leads to fewer people buying android tablet because fewer apps for tablet.

Between this one and the ipad 9th gen which do you recommend more? They're around the same price, the same goes to the extras. The major differences I find is future proof (updates, or lack of updates), this one goes to the ipad. The style, this one goes to the xiaomi mi pad. And the similarly to a laptop, which I find the ipad os better.

[@karandev9316]

One thing people do not consider while buying tablets is accessories. I have a samsung s7 plus and it has next to no third party accessories. So...make your decision after thinking about this aswell Oh and the software. There are quality of life gestures and UI elements in the iPad which make it feel like a tablet while an Android tablet feels like a normal phone on a bigger screen.

[@PurushNahiMahaPurush]

To be honest, when it comes tablets, iPads are way superior simply because apps are optimized for tablets on ipad os. Android apps look ugly on a tablet. They basically look like a blown up version of the phone app

The price difference though. If you can afford high end then buy ipad pro.
