Xiaomi Pad 5 review: Competitive in price-performance ratio, but imperfect

The tablet market is still dominated by Apple, so much so that Samsung is also finding it difficult to breach iPad’s domain. While companies like Realme found space in the lower segment, the mid-tier segment has been tough to break into. Apple’s entry-level iPad dominates the market, with Samsung playing catch up. Xiaomi, from that perspective, may have found the right space with its new device. The Pad 5 can give a good competition to iPad in the space, but it lacks the productivity features to take it all the way.

Design

Although Samsung and Apple have graduated to the bezel-less design, Xiaomi’s Pad 5 has kept to the bezels.
