    Is there a official keyboard with this tablet?

    • Clear on 27/09/2021 - 19:59

      Yes. In the listing they've packed it with the Xiaomi stylus so the price before discounts and GST is a whopping US$694.

      However this seller has it on it's own for US$86.99 before discounts/GST.

          It never ceases to amaze me Australians are proud of growing tomatoes and bananas.

          You see the banner or sign saying proudly Australian. And when you look closer, you realise it's a banana tray. Wow. What a success hahahhaha.

          Can Australians manufacture a tablet like this xiaomi?

            @baldur: Does Australia even need to?

            Having a manufacturing firm would be nice, but the market has spoken already. It's better to focus on what we have comparative advantages on. That is unless someone has some kind of plan, since going against the market will require investments that would not make money for a very long while.

            Yes, it'd be nice to have something "made in Australia". It'd have to be subsidised by the government and it'd likely be awful, doing something for the first time will always lead to oversights.

          • ChadHominem on 28/09/2021 - 12:10

            @baldur: I’d much rather live in the country growing export grade fruit than the one filled with harmful manufacturing plants. Yep proudly Australian, if only for the living conditions

        It's $425AUD on taobao if you convert it directly.
        Dont see how paying 160$ premium is a deal. Plus MIUI is full of bugs.

      • Clear on 27/09/2021 - 21:32

        Desktop mode in Xiaomi. Xiaoxin Pad Pro seems to be quite amazing too. More comparable to the Pad 5 Pro.

        • goig986 on 27/09/2021 - 21:42
          +1

          Yeah I have the xiaoxin, fair warning though "global rom" is not whatever you think it is. Its some custom bootloader unlocked widevine L3 trash. I Flashed mine back to stock CN and locked it back up.

          • Clear on 27/09/2021 - 21:43

            @goig986: I'm not really surprised by that given Xiaoxin is the name they use in China and here they call it Tab. Better to stick to the CN ROM and sideload Google Play.

            • goig986 on 27/09/2021 - 21:45

              @Clear: Xiaoxin 2021 does not have an english version at this stage (its not the P11 or the P12). You dont even need to sideload it, you can grab it from the "app center" on the tablet. Its in CN so here is a video on how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8nFBDeQu3w/

          • BuckoM on 27/09/2021 - 22:07

            @goig986: Would you buy the xiaoxin again? I was going to pull the trigger on getting it but then I came across this post on the pad 5. Now I’m not so sure

            • goig986 on 27/09/2021 - 22:09

              @BuckoM: Depends what you need the tablet for. I cant fault its performance, but it needs a good day of tweaking settings to get it how i wanted it. I'm paranoid about OLED burn in. The pad 5 has IPS which avoid that but no wifi 6. I for my usage id get the pad 5 PRO or xiaoxin.

        • Kuro on 27/09/2021 - 22:05

          Ah nice. The guy sideloaded desktop app onto the Xiaomi. He did point out that connecting to a monitor wont be possible. Whereas xiaoxin should be able to.

          • goig986 on 27/09/2021 - 22:10

      Spec whores get off on this; it has always been thus from the PC days to the Android times.

    First of all it has Widevine L1 DRM which means that Netflix will play in FHD+

    Is this true? Why all the reviews that I read said that Netflix and Amazon prime videos are limited to SD?

      Check the Techtablets one I linked as it shows it. I hope your reviews weren't the Chinese version.

      • Taro Milk Tea on 27/09/2021 - 20:55

        I see, but it seems Amazon prime still only shows SD. So the Chinese version will not be able to watch Netflix in FHD?

        • Clear on 27/09/2021 - 20:57

          Prime is SD until Amazon whitelist the device as the required DRM is there. No FHD in Netflix for the Chinese version as Widevine DRM is Google and we all know no Google Services are allowed there on devices.

      • Yohane on 27/09/2021 - 20:56

        The MiPad 5 doesn't have a global version now. So the firmware is designed for CN market only.

            • Clear on 27/09/2021 - 21:03

              @Taro Milk Tea: No news yet on the global version of the Pro. It would certainly be amazing if there was as it packs a lot more punch than this one.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/09/2021 - 21:57

    For gaming, is this comparable to the M1 iPad Pros? I know it's half the price so prob not.

    • iridiumstem on 27/09/2021 - 22:06
      +6

      I think iPads are better than Android tablets because they could optimise the games much better for iOS.
      At least that's what I have heard from someone comparing Kartrider Rush+ on both os, so different games might end up with different results.

      That's not considering the fact that Apple has been basically winning the SoC performance race for awhile as well.

      I think you'd be much better off with an iPad if you are going for gaming. I think even iPad Mini 6 (A15 Bionic) would have a better chipset if you compare the benchmarks compared to Snapdragon 860?

    • raptormesh on 27/09/2021 - 22:18
      +4

      M1 blows this away all day everyday, but the question is if all you do is gaming and casual use you don’t even need the M1.

    • superroach on 27/09/2021 - 22:19
      +2

      An M1 iPad Pro would wipe the floor of this, while having better battery life to boot. The 860 Chipset is reviewed in phone format here:
      https://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/reviews/poco-x3-pro-review-…

      Sure, it's not bad. But you are dealing with a higher resolution here, so it's working much harder.

      Overall if you want this for gaming, you'd still be better to get an ipad if you can stretch for it.
