Our Verdict

Pad 9 Pro vs Pad 5 Pro 12 4

Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 wins on display with its 12.4-inch screen versus the Honor Pad 9 Pro’s 12.1-inch (0.3 inches larger), though neither has a higher refresh rate or OLED panel—both are LCD at 1600x2560 resolution. Artists should choose the Honor Pad 9 Pro 256GB because it supports the Magic Pen stylus with 4096 pressure levels, enabling precise drawing and note-taking without extra cost. Users prioritizing camera quality and raw performance should pick the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 256GB, thanks to its 50MP main camera and faster Kryo 585 CPU, which handles multitasking and gaming better. In UAE at AED 1449 vs AED 1199, the Xiaomi wins because it delivers stronger processing and a better camera for AED 250 less; in India at ₹32999 vs ₹26999, the Xiaomi wins on value because it includes no stylus but offers superior performance and camera at ₹6000 lower, making the Honor’s stylus support less compelling at this price gap.
