Xiaomi Mi Pad 5

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 is the vanilla version of the Mi Pad 5 Pro variant. They both have similar features, but as expected, the latter is more powerful. Also, it features a more powerful SOC, but with the Snapdragon 860 on the Mi Pad 5, there won’t be much difference in performance. Meanwhile, there’s no cellular connectivity, and coupled with the beefy battery, you can go a week on a single charge.
