A design that is well reminiscent of Apple’s iPad
Rumors and leaks have been confirmed, and the design of the Mi Pad 5 is really similar to what we had previously seen in the images that have been circulating on the network. Above all we notice it in its rear part, with a design very consistent with the whole family of Xiaomi phones, with a camera module located in the upper left part very much in the style of the Xiaomi Mi 11.
Another detail that stands out is the design of its side edges. Xiaomi has decided to incorporate completely flat edges very much in the style of the Apple iPad that give the whole a really nice aesthetic. In addition, the set is completed with a weight of only 515 grams and a thickness that reaches 6.86 mm.

Where we are going to find the main differences between both versions will be in the chosen processor. As for the “Pro” model, we find the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 as the main brain of the device, the Snapdragon 860 being reserved for the standard version. Of course, they are not the most powerful processors of the American firm, but they will be capable of delivering magnificent power in relation to the price of the products.
Regarding memories, we have available versions of 6 or 8 GB of RAM and 128GB and 256 GB of storage depending on the specific model we choose, in addition to having differences in terms of the battery, where we find 8,720 mAh with 33W fast charge for the standard model and 8,600 mAh with 67W fast charge for the Pro model.
