"Portable Wi-Fi" Review
25/03/2022
Xiaomi's "Xiaomi Pad 5" is a high-end tablet that combines high performance and high quality. Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo, etc. have a presence in the Android tablet market, but Xiaomi is about to enter the market with this Xiaomi Pad 5. Xiaomi has released tablets in the past, but this time it is also expanding globally. It was released in Japan on October 21st.
Only one model, the "Xiaomi Pad 5", has been introduced globally. On the other hand, in China, we are developing three models with the addition of "Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro" and "Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 5G version" as high-end models. This time, I compared the global version of Xiaomi Pad 5 and the Chinese version of Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro to see where the differences are.
Global version "Xiaomi Pad 5" (left) and Chinese version "Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro"First of all, the global version of Xiaomi Pad 5 is naturally equipped with Google services, software On the face of it, this makes a big difference. The display is equipped with an 11-inch (2560 x 1600 pixels) liquid crystal, and in landscape orientation, an 8-megapixel camera is placed on the left side of the screen.
Global version of Xiaomi Pad 5. You can see familiar Google app icons.The Chinese version of the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro has exactly the same display size and in-camera placement, with the difference being that Google services are not installed. However, you can register a Google account from the settings, and you can also install some Google apps from Xiaomi's app store. However, not all other apps are compatible, so there are some difficulties in operating the same as the global version. Of course, this is a product made in China.
Chinese version of Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro. No Google services installedNext, let's compare the back. Both models are available in the same color. Both have a body size of 254.7 x 166.3 x 6.9mm, and the back finish is the same. The weight of the Xiaomi Pad 5 is 511g and the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro is 515g, which is slightly heavier than the Pro, probably because the specs around the camera are different. The battery capacity is 8720mAh for Xiaomi Pad 5, 33W for fast charging, and 8600mAh for Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro, 67W. When I actually charge it, the Pro version is faster, and I want tablets with large capacity batteries to support faster charging.
There is almost no difference between the two on the backThe two models are the same at first glance, but there are differences in the cameras. Since the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro is equipped with a 13-megapixel camera and a 5-megapixel depth measurement camera, it is also strong in shooting with a blurred background. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Pad 5 looks like a dual camera, but one side is a 13MP camera and the other side is a dummy with the letters "13MP". Perhaps the design around the camera is the same because the parts are shared.
Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro (top) is a dual camera, Xiaomi Pad 5 (bottom) is a single cameraBy the way, the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 5G version has a camera with 50 million pixels + 5 million pixels depth measurement. , It is also possible to take high-quality photos close to smartphones. Their prices in China are as follows.
As a small difference in the back finish, the global version (bottom) has a CE mark, etc.By the way, the biggest difference in specs between the unmarked version and the Pro version is the processor. Xiaomi Pad 5 has Snapdragon 860 and Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro has Snapdragon 870. In the Pro version, the power key also doubles as a fingerprint sensor.
Xiaomi Pad 5 has a Snapdragon 860 (front), Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro has a Snapdragon 870 (back)The body has a high quality feel, and two speakers are installed on the left and right, so the sound quality is high. will play music. It can be said that it has sufficient performance as an AV tablet. It is cheaper than tablets from major manufacturers and has higher performance than cheap tablets from minor manufacturers sold online. I have a feeling that Xiaomi tablets will sell well all over the world. There is no Pro or Pro 5G for global use, but I would like you to release a 5G compatible model later.
It seems to sell well in the world including Japan. I want 5G models to be deployed globally
