The Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 256GB is Xiaomi's 2022 tablet featuring a 12.4 inches, 445.8 cm2 (~84.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8250-AC Snapdragon 870 5G (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 10000 mAh battery. At AED 1,199 in the UAE and ₹26,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 delivers a standout 12.4-inch 144Hz LCD panel with 2560x1600 resolution and 10000 mAh battery, making it one of the most immersive screens in its class. Its Snapdragon 870 chipset ensures smooth multitasking and gaming, while stylus support via the Xiaomi Smart Pen adds precision for note-taking and sketching. The 620g weight feels substantial but manageable for extended use. Its weakness? No cellular option and MIUI Pad 13’s Android 12 base lacks timely updates, limiting long-term software reliability. In UAE at AED 1199, it’s worth it because the screen and performance outclass rivals at this price. In India at ₹26999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Samsung Tab S8 offer better software support and cellular options for similar cost. Choose this only if you prioritize screen size and refresh rate above all else.
