If anyone doubts the possible continuity of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5, simply renamed Xiaomi Pad 5, don’t worry. Xiaomi’s new tablet is selling from strength to strength.
When Amazon put the Xiaomi Pad 5 on sale for 299 euros —available in two colors — cosmic gray and pearl white—, the promotion lasted exactly 19 minutes. In the newsroom we were surprised because in reality it was a record of availability. Until then, no version of the Xiaomi Pad 5 lasted more than 10 minutes on sale. On My.com/es lasted exactly 7 minutes. And it seems that, as Gizmochina certifies, in the rest of Europe it has been the same.
Xiaomi Pad 5: the reasons for success
It is clear that the Xiaomi Pad 5 arrives at an auspicious time. One where your competition moves slowly and continuously. Furthermore, the anticipation by which it was preceded was brutal. A consistent season and three years of drought have served as an ideal fallow to position it as the new great success of the brand.
Sales, as we say, speak for themselves. From Xiaomi Spain they informed us that each store has a limited number of assigned units and that “all the stores are trying to stock merchandise”. However, at this time it is only possible to acquire the model at a normal price, at 399 euros, in some selected stores.
299 euros is almost a gift for a terminal with a huge 11-inch True Color LED screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a refresh rate of 120Hz and a density of 275 dots per inch. The model marketed in Spain mounts a versatile Snapdragon 860 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
The four Dolby Atmos-compatible 16 x 20mm speakers and cameras are also a notch above average: 13MP sensor with LED flash on the rear, capable of 4K recording and 8MP sensor on the front, compatible with face unlock and different beauty modes. A tablet, in short, that is worth more than it costs and that is currently impossible to locate for less than 399 euros. The early birds have flown.
