Xiaomi Pad 5

“The Xiaomi Pad 5 is a fast tablet at a very attractive price. With the Snapdragon 860 it delivers more than enough performance for everyday tasks, together with the Adreno 640 GPU, it also runs current games smoothly even in high detail settings. With 6 GB of RAM, there should not be any bottlenecks during multitasking. Only the tablet's 128 GB of storage might be too tight depending on the usage, also because there is no option to expand the storage via microSD card.”

“The Xiaomi Pad 5 strikes the perfect balance of features at this affordable €349 price tag. It has a lovely screen with premium Dolby Vision support and 120Hz refresh rate, the four Dolby Atmos speakers are superb, and the performance is top-notch. This means the Pad 5 is ideal for gaming, multimedia, video streaming, all sorts of videos and music, as well as powerful office apps and tools.”

“The Xiaomi Pad 5 is an exceptional Android tablet – but it is still an Android tablet. There’s little to fault on the hardware front, where you’ll find a lightweight design bolstered by strong specs, a gorgeous display, and great speakers. The software side is typical for an Android tablet, which is to say it’s fine, but can’t match an iPad, but this isn't enough reason to resist the Pad 5.”

“The Xiaomi Pad 5 is one of the best all-round Android tablets on the market and a good choice for most buyers who actively don’t want an iPad. Costing roughly as much as the iPad 9, the device offers users an excellent screen, reliable performance for casual use and solid build quality. The only downsides are that its Android-based software still doesn’t feel as refined as Apple’s iPad OS and that its battery life could be slightly longer when running certain tasks.”
