EricDVP, 17 Sep 2021Ipad 2021 has a13 that is 2times better than sd860 Mi pad ... moreNope. Ipad os is the worst. Literally like it's sibling ios. It's the most fricking boring thing ever. No features. Plus the camera is better on pad 5. And the display is far better too. Only thing ipad wins is soc and that's miui isn't good for many people despite ipad os being the boring like it is.

Mi pad 5 has 22.5w charger in the box
And ipad has 20w
Everyone know ipados is too much better than android in tablets
Xiaomi gives you 2 or at least 3years android update versus apple gives you 5years major and 7years minor updates

I have the chinese Pro model, and it's awesome except for one detail. Netflix and Primevideo only stream in SD. The device has Widevine L1 but it's not implemented/certified.
I installed a patched Netflix APK and can finally watch in full HD. Still no solution for Primevideo. I am hoping the global ROM has solved this issue and I could install it on my device.
It came with the Google Play store installed from the factory btw.

NXTwoThou, 16 Sep 20212) It does support wireless displays(miracast) just fine if... moreDisney, Hulu, Netflix all have their own apps that can be used on that smart TV, no need of connecting a tablet in the first place.
Just stream through your TV, no lags in performance due to screen casting

EricDVP, 16 Sep 2021Who’s buying this?? Ipad 10.2 2021 with too much better ch... moreDoes ipad 10.2 2020 have A14 or a13 or lower? If lower then the sd 860 is better. Plus one of the updates is already used to so still 4 update but m0t the 5 update and ios is boring anyway so there is no point. Plus the display is 10 times better. Battery and charging speeds are better aswell. Price is similar. Matepad 11 doesn't have Google (I think) which is a dealbreaker for many(even though nobody should want spygle) and it has faster charging on mi pad 5 and larger battery. And sd 860 ain't an slouch either

Android-Authority, 16 Sep 2021Don't know about pricing, maybe that's the price ... more2) It does support wireless displays(miracast) just fine if you want to project to your TV.
I got my mother one of these tablets from GizTop last month(mostly as a vision assistant). One of the things I did to teach her how to use was wirelessly connect to her roku that's attached to her TV so I could point at her big screen where she needed to touch on her tablet to get to different things, so I wasn't hovering over her. When we got to things like Disney+/Hulu/Netflix/Vudu/etc they all played perfectly fine.
The only reason why a wired display would trump a wireless would be latency. That's only important if you are playing a game. It's not like the audio/video gets out of sync or anything with wireless, but if you hold the tablet up and look at both the tv and tablet screens at the same time there's a very apparent lag.
Then again, if you are playing a game, I guess you would be using a bluetooth controller or something? Because it -really- wouldn't make sense to be using on display controls on the tablet, with a cord coming out of it plugged in to a tv. That seems an ergonomic disaster.

This also not available globally i think. At leas it cant find it in my local market.
For the price it goes it is better then both these Xiaomi Pad 5 and Pad 5 Pro.
While the difference is probably only that Lenovo have OLED screen while it's priced trough this site as 320 euro with SD870
Now that the Pad 5 only coming to Europe is sad. Especially as the Pro version would be a good work tool for out doors to have the cellular version for lower price then samsung and apple

DroidBoye, 16 Sep 2021In a vacuum yes but if you factor in other brands, Xiaomi P... moreDon't know about pricing, maybe that's the price in China.
Snapdragon 860 combined with ufs 3.1 provides huge improvement in day to day use and offers a considerably snappier performance compared to Snapdragon 750g and ufs 2.1.
1) desktop mode already available on Xiaomi's foldable. They have to release on their tablets. I agree.
2) Why would you connect your tablet to TV for watch a movie with a family??
Just put that movie on your smart TV, no need of connecting tablet.
3) Haven't tested pen latency. Besides I doubt most people buying a tablet at this price will spend 99$ for a stylus
