Two tablets with a lot of ambition
Xiaomi has not launched tablets for three years. Now, two new proposals arrive on the market under the name of Mi Pad, two new models to compete with the iPad. Both models have an 11-inch LCD screen, with 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
The main difference in power comes in the processor, with Snapdragon 860 for the Mi Pad 5 and Snapdragon 870 for the Mi Pad Pro. There is also higher and fast charging in the case of the Xiaomi Mi Pad Pro, with 67W versus 33W, although the battery is smaller than the standard model.
Both tablets come with support for a keyboard sleeve that allows them to be turned into a productivity-oriented device. They also have a stylus, so we can take notes and interact with applications using it.
