Xiaomi Launches Mi Pad 5 Mi Pad 5 Pro With 120Hz Display And Snapdragon Socs

Alongside the Mi Mix 4 with an under-display selfie camera, Xiaomi has also launched the long-rumored Mi Pad 5 tablet series in China today. The company has stepped foot back into the tablet market after a long time. The Mi Pad 5 series includes two variants, including the standard Mi Pad 5 and Mi Pad 5 Pro.

Starting off with the design, the Mi Pad 5 and Pad 5 Pro boast the exact same design. They look exactly like the Apple iPad Pro, especially when you take the keyboard case and stylus into account (more of these below). These tablets from Xiaomi are 6.86mm in thickness and weigh ~515 grams.

This is where the similarities between the Mi Pad 5 models end. You have a different Snapdragon chipset on both models, a dual rear-camera setup on the Pro variant as opposed to a single rear camera on the standard one. And the vanilla Mi Pad 5 has a bigger battery.

As for the color variants, the standard Mi Pad 5 will be available in 3 colorways – black, white, and green. The Pro variant, on the other hand, skips on the green and comes in black and white colorways.

Alongside the Mi Pad 5 series, Xiaomi has also launched a couple of accessories to go along with it. This includes the Mi Smart Pen and keyboard case, both of which look and work in a manner similar to Apple’s iPad Pro accessories.

The second accessory launched for the Mi Pad 5 series is the keyboard case. It uses a pogo pin interface and magnets to attach to the tablet. Plus, the keyboard case includes 63 keys with 1.2mm key travel for a comfortable typing experience. It supports keyboard shortcuts, is priced at CNY 399 (~Rs. 4,600), and comes in 3 colorways to match the Mi Pad – white, green, and black.

In what may come as a surprise to many, the Mi Pad 5 series is priced starting at just CNY 1,999 (~Rs. 22,900) in China. The vanilla Mi Pad 5 comes in two configurations, listed as under:

The higher-end Mi Pad 5 Pro, on the other hand, is priced starting at CNY 2,499 (~Rs. 26,670) in China. You can find the prices of all the RAM + storage configurations right below:
