Tablet · Xiaomi · 2022
The Xiaomi Pad 5 128GB is Xiaomi's 2022 tablet featuring a 11.0 inches, 350.9 cm2 (~82.8% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 8720 mAh battery. At AED 749 in the UAE and ₹15,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 shines with its 11-inch IPS LCD display running at 120Hz, delivering smooth motion and rich 1B-color depth with HDR10 and Dolby Vision support — unmatched in its price bracket. Paired with the Snapdragon 860, it handles multitasking and media playback with ease, though it lacks cellular and stylus support. This tablet thrives for binge-watchers and casual gamers who prioritize screen immersion over productivity tools. Its 8720mAh battery lasts all day under heavy use, but the 511g weight makes prolonged one-handed use tiring. Android 13 with MIUI 14 brings timely updates, but bloatware remains. In UAE at AED 749, it’s worth it because no other tablet under AED 1000 offers this screen and chipset combo. In India at ₹15999, it’s overpriced — rivals like the Samsung Tab S7 FE deliver similar screen quality with better software polish at the same cost.
