    Easy ✌victory for Android there... Xiaomi taking over the market in the last two years.

    They just beat the iPad 2021 according to Gsmarena recommendation.
    Best part is that, it wasn't even the pro model.

    For those who don't know, the pro model of Mi Pad 5 has better connectivity with 5g, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, etc.
    It has faster Snapdragon 870 processor and faster 67W charging. It also has a even better camera all the while costing just around 100$ more. For comparison, iPad 10.2 (2021) comes with 64gb base storages as opposed to Mi Pad series with 128gb base storage.

        Probably today they are very similar, but wait for next year or 2-3 more wich one keep up to date.

          Paper Benchmarks don't count.

            MI Pad is good enough for 5 years with or without updates.

                  The iPad will have support for several years and will run smoothly while Xiaomi has abandoned their every previous Pad quickly.

                        When comes toandroid and IOS every tablet is way better just for SD card support.
                        And way more user friedly OS.
                        IOS without bloatware like Itunes doesnt works at all.

                          bulbulito.bayagbag, 14 Oct 2021MIUI doesn't stand a chance against ios, miui buggy ui.Man IOS is even more buggy. Much less apps no SD card support bad user friendly OS not compatible with anything else without malware like Itunes.
                          And many else.
                          Every 300-400 eur tablet is way better in every aspect.

                            Anonymous, 14 Oct 2021The original ipad is better than its copy. Every tablet is better than apple because much user friendly OS, SD card support and lot more features and apps in google play store.
                            In every aspect Most 300+ priced android tablets are way better than Apple.
                            Apart the Samsung which is way overpriced and have worse specs.

                              xiaomi should come out with Mi pad 5 mini,,,,8 inch display...and similar specs as that of Mipad 5 pro and with pen bundled in.

                                Great video, thanks!

                                  bulbulito.bayagbag, 14 Oct 2021MIUI doesn't stand a chance against ios, miui buggy ui.Some while back it was really buggy yes... Clearly you don't tried it out now miui 12.6 rocks.
                                  I'm not a big fan of xiaomi, but like my Mi 11 ultra and more then my former S21 ultra.
                                  But I'm sure in around 1 year it will be one of the top Android software.
                                  Try look around or even try it out, unless you better like the plugn play Apple stuff, we all have different needs and that's good 🙂

                                      Nice review GSMARENA, next time there should be smartphone comparisons also like the Poco F3 and Galaxy A52s or Poco F3 vs Realme gt Neo 2.
