Xiaomi Pad 5 of Xiaomi Pad 5 aiming at the tablet "blank area" against the iPad

From Xiaomi, who is good at low -priced smartphones, the tablet "Xiaomi Pad 5" has been released globally.Xiaomi's Japanese subsidiary has officially announced the domestic introduction of Xiaomi Pad 5 on SNS, and will be released soon.It should be noted that it may be popular as a high cost performance tablet for price and performance.

Like the iPhone, the tablet will come to mind the iPad like the iPhone.Mini size 8.There are many lineups, from 3 inch "iPad mini" to "iPad Pro", which can be used as a powerful and notebook PC.But iPad 10.Although the 2 -inch model 64GB is 39,800 yen, the other models and lineups cost more than 50,000 yen.In addition, Apple Pencil costs 11,800 yen for the first generation and 15,950 yen for the second generation.If you add a keyboard to this, you will spend a lot of money.It is surprisingly expensive if you want to use a tablet in earnest.

The Xiaomi Pad 5 is equipped with a high -spec Snapdragon 860, and the display size is 11 inches and has a high resolution of 2,560x1,600 pixels.The body has a sharp design similar to the iPad.The camera is equipped with 13 million pixels and 8 million pixels inside.The OS is equipped with Android 11 and Miui 12, which Xiaomi originally customized.The price is 1,999 yuan in China, about 35,000 yen.In Europe, it costs 349 euros, about 46,000 yen.In Malaysia, it costs 1,399 ringgit, about 39,000 yen.Looking at the price of Xiaomi's previous products, China is cheap and Europe is expensive.It seems that the selling price in Japan is close to the Malaysian price in the middle.Perhaps it will be released in Japan for about 39,800 yen.

Many tablets equipped with the same Android OS as Xiaomi Pad 5 are also sold in Japan, but it is difficult to choose, such as reasonable prices, such as some difficulty in performance.For example, Lenovo's "Yoga Tab 11" has the same 11 -inch screen, but the resolution is 2,000x1,200 pixels, and the chipset is a slightly lower performance with MediaTek Helio G90T.The price is less than 40,000 yen, almost the same as Xiaomi Pad 5, but you may be somewhat dissatisfied with game use.

On the other hand, the same Lenovo "Lenovo Tab P11 Pro" is 11.5 inches 2,560x1,600 Pixel displays are equipped with Snapdragon 730g to improve performance, but the price is 66,667 yen.Overseas, Samsung's 11 -inch tablet "Galaxy Tab S7" is on sale, but the price is 699 and about 80,000 yen for a high -spec model equipped with Snapdragon 865 Plus.In addition, the cheap tablet of Chinese manufacturers sold in Amazon and other places is not recommended in reality because the operation is heavy.

Looking at the 11 -inch class tablet in this way, it seems that products are divided into three classes: "Chinese cheap and low specifications", "reasonable performance at a moderate price", and "high -priced high performance".Xiaomi Pad 5, on the other hand, can be said to be a tablet with a performance that can be used for work, "high performance at a moderate price".

Xiaomi Pad 5 also has a keyboard cover and stylus.The release in Japan is unknown, but in China, the keyboard cover is 399 yuan (about 7,000 yen) and the stylus is 349 yuan (about 6,000 yen).If it would be released in Japan, would it cost about 20,000 yen?In other words, you can get a tablet that can be used as a laptop -like work or creative tool for a total of about 60,000 yen.

It is an era where you can do it to some extent if you have a smartphone, but work and classes are being remotely done at home.It is best to buy a laptop, but tablets are limited, but it will be easy to use for specific applications.If you use an online video conference or office app, you can use a tablet more easily, including installing the app.

Xiaomi Pad 5 can be said to be a moderate price tablet perfect for such a New Normal era.By the way, in Hong Kong, where I live, the initial arrival was sold out at the same time as the release in September.Probably because it is a product that has a good balance of price and performance, excellent cospa.It is a tablet that is looking forward to the release in Japan.
