The simple naming of the Xiaomi Pad 5 belies its major aesthetic upgrade from its predecessor, the Mi Pad 4.
Xiaomi’s Pad 5 incorporates many designs typically found in modern tablets these days: a slim profile, removal of all front buttons, and thinner bezels. At 6.85mm, it is comparable to the competition which typically sit at 6mm thickness or more.
In portrait orientation, the power button is on the top-right corner , with the volume to the right. On the same side is a magnetic mechanism for the Xiaomi Pen . To the left side are other connectors, presumably for the keyboard cover case.An interesting feature is the tablet’s screen: an 11-inch WQHD+ IPS display, with 120Hz refresh rate. While 120Hz is increasingly common in high-end flagship tablets, it was surprising to find this touted on an affordable tablet, even if it's a Xiaomi.
The Pad 5 also has a Dolby Atmos-capable quad-speaker audio setup — each side of the tablet has two speaker grilles. Together with the display, you can go ahead and watch blockbusters with a great aural and visual experience in your hands. Just like many Android tablets in the market, MIUI supports multi-tasking. However, Xiaomi’s implementation is slightly non-intuitive compared to stock Android experience; it is in the form of floating windows, in which it can only be activated through the Recents menu, tapping on “Floating Windows”, and then selecting the app to float. Another quirky thing is that while the height of the window can be adjusted, you aren't able to adjust the width.
