The new Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 and Mi Pad 5 Pro are expected to be available globally after the China launch – and Xiaomi will be dropping the Mi branding altogether.

They’re great, well-built tablets. But that’s not all. They’re also very well priced. A feat only Xiaomi can achieve while still offering really good specifications. We’ve already said Xiaomi is coming for the iPad with these new tablets, and the evidence is in the design and the specs vs the price.

Xiaomi is totally coming for Apple's iPad with the new Mi Pad 5
