Our Verdict

Galaxy Tab Active Pro vs Pad 5 Pro 12 4

Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 wins on display with a 12.4-inch OLED screen at 2560x1600 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate versus the Samsung’s 10.1-inch LCD at 1920x1200 and 90Hz, making it 2.3 inches larger with sharper pixels and smoother motion. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro 256GB is for professionals needing rugged durability and S Pen stylus support for field notes, inspections, or sketching in harsh environments, plus LTE connectivity for on-the-go work. The Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 is for media consumers and students who prioritize a large, vibrant screen and faster Snapdragon 870 performance at half the price, though it lacks cellular and stylus support. In UAE at AED 1199 vs AED 1599, Xiaomi wins because its OLED screen and 120Hz refresh rate deliver superior media immersion; in India at ₹26999 vs ₹36499, Xiaomi wins on value because the absence of stylus support and cellular is irrelevant for most home or campus use, and the savings fund a third-party pen if needed.
