The Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 256GB is Xiaomi's 2022 tablet featuring a 11.0 inches, 350.9 cm2 (~82.8% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8250-AC Snapdragon 870 5G (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 8600 mAh battery. At AED 999 in the UAE and ₹22,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 256GB excels with its 11.0-inch 120Hz IPS LCD display supporting 1B colors, HDR10, and Dolby Vision—delivering vivid, smooth visuals unmatched in its price bracket. Paired with the Snapdragon 870 octa-core chipset, it handles multitasking and media playback with ease. It supports the Xiaomi Smart Pen, making it viable for note-taking and light sketching. The 8600mAh battery ensures all-day use, but at 515g, it feels heavy for prolonged one-handed use. The 5G model’s 50MP main camera is overkill for a tablet, while the Wi-Fi variant’s 13MP camera feels underwhelming. Android 13 with MIUI 14 offers features but lacks the polish of iPadOS. In UAE at AED 999, it’s worth it because no other tablet offers this screen and performance at half the price. In India at ₹22999, it’s overpriced compared to the Samsung Tab S8 FE, which offers better software and stylus precision for similar cost.
