Xiaomi Pad 5 Malaysia Design

The Xiaomi Pad 5 is has a premium, slim, and lightweight design. The Xiaomi Pad 5’s frame is made from aluminum, while the black is plastic and the front obviously is glass. The Xiaomi Pad 5 is super slim at just 6.9mm, which is slimmer than almost all smartphones nowadays. It also weighs just 511g despite its size.

Even though the back is made out of plastic, it doesn’t feel cheap. The matte finish gives it a smooth and premium feel making it nice to hold. The front has no protection, which is a bummer, you will have to use tempered glass for protection.

The power button is on the top, while the volume rockers are on the right side. The USB-C port is on the bottom. You can find four speaker grills in total, two on the top and two on the bottom. The four speakers come together to offer excellent sound quality with Dolby Atmos support. 

The Xiaomi Pad 5 has support for accessories like a Pen and a Keyboard. The keyboard connectors are on the left side of the frame, while the right side of the frame is magnetic for Pencil charging.

Overall, the design is simply amazing for the price. It’s slim, lightweight, and feels great. Build quality could have been better, as there’s no gorilla glass protection. However, for the price, I have no complaints about it. Even the colors look great. You can choose the Xiaomi Pad 5 in Cosmic Gray, Pearl White, and Green colored options.

Xiaomi Pad 5 Malaysia Display

The display is an area where the Xiaomi Pad 5 shines especially compared to its competitor. The Xiaomi Pad 5 comes with an 11-inch LCD screen that is bright and colorful. The Xiaomi Pad 5’s display is loaded to the brim with features like 10-bit color support, 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling rate, and more.

The Xiaomi Pad 5 has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels making it super sharp despite its large size. The display also supports Dolby Vision making it great for consuming content like TV shows and Movies. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos make the Xiaomi Pad 5 one of the best devices to watch stuff on. 

Overall, even though the display is just LCD, it is bright, responsive, and vibrant. All of this makes the display Xiaomi Pad 5 better than its competitors like the iPad 9th generation. Even the bezels are minimal. You can get a better display for under 1500 RM on a tablet right now. 

Xiaomi Pad 5 Malaysia Performance

One thing the Xiaomi Pad 5 offers that other Android tablets have failed to in the past, is good performance. Android tablets in the past have been known for offering low or midrange chips which were terrible. However, with the Xiaomi Pad 5, you get a high-end Snapdragon 860 for under 1500 RM.

Snapdragon 860 combined with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 Storage, you get snappy performance no matter what task you do. The Xiaomi Pad 5 is great for gaming, browsing, and for apps. You can open and switch between apps in an instant.

Xiaomi has tweaked MIUI for tablets and it offers cool split screen features and more that make using the Xiaomi Pad 5 even better. All this with a 120Hz screen and 240Hz touch sampling rate amazing for all tasks. You will have a great experience for entertainment, gaming, and productivity alike. 

The Xiaomi Pad 5 is not the best performing tablet under 30000 INR, but it’s super close to the iPad 9th Gen. While the iPad has better performance, it lacks 120 Hz and is a bit costlier too. I’m impressed with the performance of the Xiaomi Pad 5. With more software tweaks, it will shine even more.

Xiaomi Pad 5 Software Malaysia

The Xiaomi Pad 5 launched with Android 11 and MIUI 12.5 which is not exactly exciting but Xiaomi has promised future Android and MIUI updates. This means the tablet will be eligible for Android 12L which Google is creating specifically for tablets with built-in tablet-specific features. 

Xiaomi has already baked in some tablet specific features that make multitasking better which in turn improves productivity. While Android tablets are not at the level of iPads, Google, Samsung, and Xiaomi are trying to change that.

The software side of the Xiaomi Pad 5 will certainly improve while the hardware is already top-notch. This makes me excited as an owner of the Xiaomi Pad 5 and for the future of Android tablets. More competition is better for us in the end. 

Xiaomi Pad 5 Malaysia Battery

The Xiaomi Pad 5 comes with a large 8720 mAh battery even though it’s super slim.  As per Xiaomi’s claims, the Xiaomi Pad 5 can last 16+ hours when watching videos, 5+ days when playing music, and 10+ hours when gaming.

From our tests, the Xiaomi Pad 5 lasted easily over 15 hours for video playback, while for gaming it was 8+ hours of mixed usage. This is definitely impressive and most people will be happy with its battery life. 

The Xiaomi Pad 5 comes with 33W fast charging too, while it won’t charge the tablet in under an hour, it’s still much faster than most of the competition. The battery o. The Xiaomi Pad 5 is good but nothing amazing. You will be happy with it and have no complaints.
