Editor Rating
3.6/5

The affordable tablet market is getting pretty heated with lots of competition, and the Xiaomi Pad 5 is the company’s attempt at capturing that space with a large and slim tablet that features good build quality, a vibrant and amazing display, and a large battery that can keep it running throughout the day. You also get the older but still reliable Snapdragon 860 processor, which can handle most of the day-to-day multimedia and productivity tasks, even though you would be hard-pressed to play graphics-intensive video games, despite the high refresh rate display.
