TwoMinute ReviewXiaomi Pad 5 Price and AvailabilityDesignDisplaySpecs Performance and CameraSoftwareBattery LifeIf 2020 was the year of foldable phones 2021 is the year of the Android tablet with over a year of home working and learning prompting a resurgence in demand for the previouslystrugglingtech form factor The Xiaomi Pad 5 marks the Chinese tech giant reviving its slate line which last saw an installment in 2018 though this is actually the first Xiaomi tablet to get a global launch We’re glad the Xiaomi Pad 5 is getting sold in loads of countries too because this is a superbly wellrounded tablet that marks the best Android rival to Apple’s popular entrylevel iPadwe’ve seen so far Not only does the Pad 5 have a price that’s similar to the iPad’s but it has a betterlooking display almost as much processing power and a longlasting battery making it great as a productivity slate or for entertainment fans handling gaming and streaming well The key feature here that makes the Xiaomi tablet fantastic for productivity is in the software Apple’s iPadOSis generally conside The Xiaomi Pad 5 was released on September 25 in the UK the company doesn’t launch its products in the US so don’t expect to pick it up there But while the thing currently isn’t on sale in Australia either Xiaomi products often do launch there so a release could come further down the line The tablet costs £369 (roughly $500 AU$690) which gets you 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage some other regions have a version with 256GB of storage on sale too but that’s not available in the UK At that price the tablet is a close rival for the iPad 102 (2021) the price for that starts at $329 / £319 / AU$499 but it’s for 64GB of storage and there’s no 128GB version as storage jumps up to 256GB for more money If we were to compare the Xiaomi Pad 5’s appearance to that of one of Apple’s roster it’d be the iPad Air 4 it’s a device that’s thin has a narrow bezel and boasts a minimalist design The slate has a thickness of just 69mm and dimensions of 2547 x 1663mm weighing 511g it’s certainly not the lightest tablet we’ve seen and is in fact one of the heaviest tablets we’ve tested relative to its display size but the difference is a matter of grams Round the edges of the slate you’ll find a power button on the top edge and volume rocker on the right edge (when you’re holding the slate in portrait orientation) The frontfacing camera is above the screen when holding the device in this orientation that does mean that when you’ve got the slate landscape and are on a video call when looking at the display you appear to be looking far from the camera which isn’t ideal Some tablets have the frontfacing camera on the long edge which is better for video calling There’s a USBC One of the key specs of the Xiaomi Pad 5 is its 11inch screen which boasts a 1600 x 2560 resolution 120Hz refresh rate and the ability to display over a billion colors (there are that many?!) The display looks great with bold colors and good contrast and the high resolution certainly helps make streaming from various services or playing games look crisp We watched a few movies and played several games and were impressed with what we saw The screen aspect ratio of 161 means the slate is suited for work as you can splitscreen two different documents while ensuring both get a roughly A4 shaped slice of display As in Xiaomi’s phones and lots of other tablets for that matter there is a range of modes for changing how the screen looks you can adjust the color temperature blue light and ambient light Some of these can be used to simply make the screen look more appealing but others are useful for people with sight problems to increase ease of viewing The Xiaomi Pad 5 uses the Snapdragon 860 chipset that’s not quite as powerful as the M1 in the iPad Pro (2021) range or the Snapdragon 865 Plus in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7series but it still provides lots of processing power and beats out many other tablets We put the tablet through the Geekbench 5 benchmark test and it returned a multicore score of 2631 that’s a high but not topend score with the best phones and tablets reaching 4000 That score puts it just a touch weaker than the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus which got 2846 but a difference of 200 points won’t be noticeable in daytoday use by most users The chipset is joined by 6GB of RAM as well as 128GB or 256GB of storage depending on where you live If you get the choice we’d recommend the 256GB version for students or business users as it ensures you can download lots of games movies or songs and still have space for all your work and files Unlike some tablets on the market Xiaomi doesn’t offer an LTE model of t The ace up Xiaomi’s sleeve in making its Pad 5 a useful work device is MIUI for Pad the software it uses This is a fork of MIUI the software used in Xiaomi phones which in itself is a fork of Google’s Android While stock Android isn’t quite a perfect match for a tablet’s large form factor MIUI for Pad brings lots of tweaks and changes to the formula to make it far more useful on the Pad 5’s 11inch screen Like iPadOS MIUI keeps notifications separate from shortcuts and quick toggles so if you swipe down from the left side of the screen you’ll see your notifications but if you swipe down on the right half you’ll get options like Bluetooth and WiFi settings There are other changes it’s easy to open multiple apps at once whether that’s as two apps sidebyside or as one app in a bubble appearing over another In addition the user interface has been redesigned to look better on a larger screen and Xiaomi is reportedly optimizing top apps to work well on the bigger scree The 8720mAh battery in the Xiaomi Pad 5 sounds rather average for a slate of its size but during our time with the device we learnt to appreciate the actual lasting power of this tablet Xiaomi estimates you’ll get 5 days of music playback 16 hours of video playback or 10 hours of gaming time on the slate from our experience these are actually underestimations and while playing titles like Tropico or Northgard or streaming audio or movies we found the slate could last a little longer Those estimates are already a little north of Apple’s equivalents for its iPad and we found ourselves consistently impressed by the battery power of the device This battery will make it great for a student who needs to carry it round to loads of different lectures in a day then settle in for a movie in bed after Charging is also fairly impressive at 33W that’s fast for a tablet though Xiaomi’s phones go at up to 120W At that speed the slate takes about an hour and a half to power to f 45/5 Brand XiaomiAuthor Tom Bedford.
