I wanted this!Xiaomi's high -performance tablet "Pad 5" that can be bought in the 40,000 yen range

A tablet that is equipped with a larger display than a smartphone and is convenient for watching videos and viewing e -books.It is also attractive that you can use it like a laptop if you wear an external type cover.

Speaking of a tablet, the pronoun will be the "iPad" series.Especially when it comes to high -performance products, it is also true that there are few models released in Japan and the options are narrow.Meanwhile, "Xiaomi Pad 5" appeared as a high -performance Android tablet.

Personally, I did not use tablet products very much, so I tried to realize the goodness of "life with a tablet" by trying this product.The point is that it can be purchased relatively inexpensive despite the performance that can be called a high -end model, so let's send a review immediately.

"Xiaomi Pad 5" is 43,780 yen on the official website!

Xiaomi Pad 5 can be purchased from the official online shop "Mi.com", from each electronics retailer and Amazon.The selling price at mi.com is 43,780 yen.

This product seems to be quite inexpensive if you think of a tablet equipped with a high performance and large screen.It may be difficult to understand the price of a tablet, but if you think about it with a smartphone, you can see the height of the cospa well.

The charm that can be easily carried on the 11 -inch large screen like a mobile laptop

Xiaomi Pad 5 is equipped with a 11 -inch display.The size is a large screen of a mobile laptop computer, and the resolution is 1600 x 2560 WQHD+high resolution.You can enjoy the large screen at hand, so you can watch videos and experience games different from smartphones.

The body size is 254.69mm in height x 166.25mm wide x 6.85mm thick, and the mass is 511g.The bezel has a slightly thick impression, but unlike a smartphone, I don't care much because the display size is large in the first place.Also, since it is a product that has the main unit with either hand and is often operated with the other hand, it may be reasonable considering it as a space for holding the finger to hold.

What I would like to introduce as a function that makes use of a large 11 -inch screen is the installation display function of the application.Although it is a function that can be used with a general Android smartphone, if you launch two apps on a 6 -inch smartphone, the visibility of each app will also decrease and it is not easy to use.

If you have a 11 -inch size, you can see it with plenty of time, even if you divide and display two apps.In terms of image, it is a way to use it as a personal computer, but it was still convenient to use it with devices that can be easily carried.

Personally, I often watch videos on my smartphone before going to bed, but when I watch movies and sports, the screen size is a little insufficient.This product is very suitable for using such entertainment content, and the time before bedtime became a little luxurious.

Outstanding the operability of the touch pen!I want a keyboard if possible ...

This product also supports operation with the separately sold "Xiaomi Smart Pen".This is 11,800 yen on the official website.It seems that the price is reasonable, but if you think of it as about 55,000 yen, including the tablet itself, it will be within the allowable range.

Xiaomi Smart Pen supports 240Hz sampling rates and 4096 -level pressure sensitivity.The delay is hardly felt as if you actually tried it, so it is comfortable to use a small note or draw a picture.

The pen is equipped with two buttons, and when you press and hold the "Primary button" (button on the lower side), a guide to launch the memo function is displayed.If you press and hold the "Candar Ribotan" (upper button), you can select a screenshot and shoot a screenshot.

The Xiaomi Smart Pen body is a matte material and has a good touch.The feature is that the mass is 12.2g, and if not, it can be attached to the side of the tablet body with a magnet.It is comfortable to carry, so if possible, try using it with Xiaomi Pad 5.

One unfortunate point is that the genuine keyboard is not sold on the official website.It seems to be sold overseas, but it is not officially handled in Japan, so it is necessary to use compatible third -party ones or order products from overseas.

Personally, I want to use Xiaomi Pad 5 instead of a personal computer to easily write notes and manuscripts, so what to do with the keyboard is a problem.

Dolby Atmos compatible 4 speakers are equipped with large capacity batteries!

What I feel especially when I use it is the performance of the speaker.This product is compatible with Dolby Atmos, and uses 4 speakers that are good at regenerating realistic sounds.Because the body is larger than a smartphone, it is natural to be able to physically have a large speaker, but it is also attractive to be able to experience different from smartphones.

Lower part of the body

The battery capacity is 8720mAh, which is necessary and sufficient.Even if you use it for a long time, there is no impression that the battery decrease is extremely fast.

The mounted memory is 6GB, the storage is 128GB model and a 256GB model.The installed CPU is Snapdragon 860, which is not the latest but high -performance chipset.Therefore, there is almost no stuffing the application or scrolling the screen, and you can perform comfortable movements.

In addition, the camera is surprisingly high performance.The out camera is a 13 -megapixel single lens and supports video shooting at 4K/30fps.The back camera of the tablet has a scene that is surprisingly used, such as shooting materials and reading QR code, so it is a nice point that it has a high -performance camera.

The front camera is 8 million pixels, but the speed to recognize the subject and the autofocus are excellent.The front camera is also useful for video conferences, and is also used to unlock face authentication.

Tablet face authentication is convenient, but when you hold it horizontally, your thumb comes to the front camera position with a high probability, so it is necessary to pick up once.

If it is a high -performance Android tablet, is it decided by Xiaomi Pad 5!?

Many people have never used tablets on a daily basis, but Xiaomi Pad 5, where you can easily enjoy a large screen, will take videos at home, browse e -books, and take a little note on the go.I was able to realize again that it was a convenient device.

As mentioned at the beginning, there is a series that is so popular that tablets can be called iPads, but if you usually use Android smartphones, the tablet will be based on Android OS.

The Xiaomi Pad 5 is a product that you want to recommend especially for Android smartphone users because the price is 43,780 yen.
