The Xiaomi Pad 5 is an exceptional Android tablet – but it is still an Android tablet. There’s little to fault on the hardware front, where you’ll find a lightweight design bolstered by strong specs, a gorgeous display, and great speakers. The software...

Will the Xiaomi Pad 5 live up to its all-in-one, daily use purpose? Is it good value for money, or is it a compromise in favour of lower prices? We find out for you!

All-rounder tablet for light entertainment and work ; Relatively strong performance ; Major upgrades from predecessor ; Modern tablet design ; Great value ; Expandable options with stylus and keyboard
