Introduction

The tablet market has seen recent growth as the demand for portable devices suitable for entertainment and learning has increased. Therefore, it is quite logical for the manufacturers to return to releasing tablets that will help people bridge the gap between a smartphone and a laptop. Xiaomi has been occupying practically every technology segment with amazing launches that deliver some of the best value on the market. Xiaomi has announced the long-awaited return of its tablet series, the Xiaomi MI Pad 5 series.

The entry of Xiaomi’s best android tablet is giving rivals like Apple and Samsung cause for concern. MI Pad 5 is already rocking the Android premium tablet market with its remarkable specs. It offers support for fast charging, increased hertz display, larger display, and much more. With the new Pad 5 series Xiaomi is giving out fabulous features at an astonishing price that would help MI tablets top the market charts.

Specifications that makes mi pad 5 stand apart

The entire MI Pad 5 series is particularly close in design and functionality but there are a few features that take MI Pad 5 to the top. The modest Mi Pad 5 powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 860 chipset and a large 8720mAh battery. While the other versions in the series have Snapdragon 870 SoC and an 8600mAh battery. The difference is not huge to affect the functionality of other versions but it definitely makes Pad 5 the first choice.
The tablet has also received extra colour options and stylus support. Listed below are some outstanding features you should know about other than its classic colour options (White, Black, and Green).

Great Display with higher refresh rate

Xiaomi sticks with the classic display featuring a screen that is 11 inches diagonally, with resolutions of 2560 x 1600. Not just this it also has 120Hz refresh rates, 500 nit max brightness, LCD technology and HDR10 support. Pad 5’s large display and increased hertz will give you that laptop experience along with better functionality than a smartphone. Its premium design and the display will magically transform your tablet experience.

More than a decent camera set up

The major issue while buying tablets is that we need to compromise in the camera department. Even the latest technology tablets do not ace their camera results. The MI Pad 5 has an 8MP front and 13MP rear snapper, which is decent for a tablet camera setup. The camera is also housed in the bezel, not in cut-out segments like on some other tablets.

Reliable snapdragon 860 processor

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 chipset which is perfect for your day-to-day use. The Snapdragon 860 chipset, paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB/256GB flash storage acts as a powerful combination for unhindered performance. The software at use in the Xiaomi Pad 5 is not MIUI for Android operating system that Xiaomi phones use, but MIUI for Pad.

Xiaomi tablet’s pricing that beats up the competition

Xiaomi has made the MI Pad 5 series super affordable even though it has the best of all features. In China, the standard tablet’s starting price is just CNY 1,999 for 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, which converts to around AU$420. The model with upgraded storage of 256GB is available for CNY 2,299 or about AU$480.

We can guess that the actual international pricing will actually end up significantly higher than the prices in China. It is still quite clear that despite what Xiaomi is offering, it has an upper hand as compared to its competitors. While Samsung’s latest Galaxy Tab S7 starts at AU$1,049 and Apple's latest M1-powered iPad can be bought at a starting price of AU$1,199. If we sincerely compare the pricing of MI Pad 5 to its direct competitors, Xiaomi is undefeated as it is offering the latest specs at an unbeatable cost.

Mi Pad 5 crazy response - Over 200 thousand unit sold in china

Xiaomi has reentered the tablet segment with full force and has turned the competition upside down. Xiaomi did neglect the tablet segment for quite some time but it is back to take over the market. According to some reports, Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 sold more than 200 thousand units in just 5 minutes after the initial launch after the event. Such a crazy response from the market and huge sales caused problems. People complained about the shortage of the device which the company took notice of and are soon re-shelving the stock for all customers.

Will Mi Pad 5 get launched in the Australian market?

The company did not make an announcement in regards to international availability during the initial launch. After the successful release in China, Xiaomi's supply is gearing up to release the Mi Pad 5 Series in Europe, sometime in September. It can be expected in the Australian market and other parts of the world soon around the same time. From the journey so far it is evident that the Mi Pad 5 will be a huge success in all parts of the world.

Conclusion

Xiaomi did take some time to return to the tablet segment but now they are ruling the market with MI Pad 5 series.
