Xiaomi Pad 5 comes to India at an attractive price

The tablet market has largely been dominated by the Apple iPad, and for good reason. Android tablet releases have been few and far in between, and it’s just Samsung and to some extent Lenovo dominating the space. More recently, we’re seeing interest from more hardware players, with Xiaomi launching the Xiaomi Pad 5 series in 2021. Now, the company is bringing the Xiaomi Pad 5 to India (alongside the Xiaomi 12 Pro and the Mi TV 5A), giving consumers some more options in the tablet space.

Software Android 11 with MIUI Global 12.5

The Xiaomi Pad 5 has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which might throw you off if you were expecting a 3:2 aspect ratio like the iPad, albeit there is nothing inherently flawed with either choice. A wider aspect ratio would work better for movie consumption, while the other end works for productivity tasks. The tablet curiously misses out on a fingerprint scanner — there is none present. And you get Android 11 with MIUI 12.5. Apart from this, you get a rounded package, complete with the Snapdragon 860 handling processing duties. In our review of the Xiaomi Pad 5, we found it to be a good option in the tablet space, but there are still arguments to be made on using an Android tablet in the first place. If you want a large screen entertainment and productivity device, this is a good option.

In India, Xiaomi is also bringing along the Xiaomi Smart Pen Stylus and Keyboard Case as a separate purchase.

The Xiaomi Pad 5 is coming to India in two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB, both with 6GB of RAM.

Xiaomi has not shared the pricing and availability details for the Smart Pen Stylus and Keyboard Case at the moment, but they will be available for purchase separately at a later stage.
