Xiaomi's 2021 tablet venture is a good-looking and competently specified slate. However, there's still the a question over usability beyond a 'big-phone-like' device for media consumption, because Google has largely failed to embrace more work-focused functionality modes in Android - which is not solely a Xiaomi issue by any means. Still, if that's what you're looking for then the Pad 5's stellar battery life, fair price, high refresh-rate screen, and a lighter touch with its MIUI software, all combines to make for one of the more competent Android slates we've seen for some time.
Battery life is impressive; Attractive design and build; Decent 120Hz LCD screen; Stylus and keyboard accessory compatible;
Stylus not included; Screen a fingerprint magnet; Selfie camera should be on longer side; MIUI software can cause hiccups with some apps;
