Pad 5 Pro vs Pad 6 Pro

The Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro wins on display with a 1800x2880 pixel resolution (309 ppi) and 144Hz refresh rate versus the Pad 5 Pro’s 1600x2560 (274 ppi) and 120Hz, offering sharper text and smoother motion on the same 11.0-inch screen. The Pad 5 Pro 512GB is ideal for artists needing full stylus support with the included Xiaomi Smart Pen, and for students who need 512GB storage for offline apps, lectures, and media without cloud reliance. The Pad 6 Pro 256GB suits those prioritizing the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip for heavy multitasking or gaming, and who prefer a lighter 490g design without needing cellular. In UAE at AED 1149 vs AED 1499, the Pad 5 Pro is better because it includes stylus support and double the storage; in India at ₹25999 vs ₹34999, the Pad 5 Pro wins on value because the ₹9000 price gap is not justified by the lack of stylus and half the storage in the Pad 6 Pro.
