Yeah, broke design students like me really need a handy device which is good for digital drawing, talking notes at any location. We have to use heavy 3kg laptops which have less battery life and isn't really portable. Is asking for procreate level software from Android too much? Tbh, apple is overpriced overall.
Most Android phone manufacturers don't really care that much about tablets.Even the more expensive Samsung ones don't get much support compared to an iPad.Google themselves said that they don't really care about tablets when they design new Android versions.It really depends on Xiaomi,Samsung,etc to make the OS run like it should and make things compatible with them.Yeah,iPad is expensive but to be honest,you won't have any problems with it,runs as fast as a phone,has 6 years of updates and you can still get some money for it if you decide to sell it.
16:48 ''I have no problems using Android or iPad...I can still draw whatever I want to draw". This I like🙂 Also, you spoke truth concerning the updates. Thank you for pointing that out.👍

Wooow Apple's optimization with its pencil is very impressive :o
@@azuanatoya by android you mean Samsung? Aside from Samsung the only other good stylus was Lenovo's from my own experience. The one's you got with the dual screen Yoga Books.
Good comprehensive comparison of the two tablets. I've been a Xiaomi phone user for over 5 years and their phones are excellent for value and performance. Over the years I've drawn on Wacom, N-Trig and now I primarily draw on iPad. The pen feel of the iPad is definitely the best I've experienced in terms of accuracy and sensitivity. That said, I agree with Teoh that all aspects of each tablet should be considered, including OS, apps, screen, support, etc. Personally, I think people over-value pen pressure sensitivity and for many drawing styles, it's an important factor but shouldn't be weighed so heavily. Ultimately, it comes down to personal drawing style and preference. For me, accuracy is more important, which is why I like the iPad and its precision. Seeing more competition from Android tablets for drawing is a great thing. I think if manufacturers can get over that hesitancy about being price competitive with the base iPad, they would enjoy more success. As it stands, where I live, the iPad is the best value by a large margin when compared to Samsung and Xiaomi, so given its excellent performance and availability of higher end apps, it's a no-brainer to go with Apple.
while I think that the iPad is still the best tablet for drawing (just the hardware) a huge reason android struggles is just the fact that procreate (and also Affinity to some extent) is exclusively on Apple devices.
nah, you have pretty good apps for Android. As for me, the best thing in Ipad is a pen pressure and optimization. If you don't need to draw completely, you can easily swap to Android gadget :'( But for better drawing experience, as I found, is Ipad
I am torn between these two. You pointed out a very clear aspects for me, That's the pencil feel and natural output from the pressure and pen angle still puts ipad ahead of the competition. I don't mind a slower refresh rate.
i love xiaomi phone but when it comes to drawing tablet, ipad is worth the money. it is better to just save some extra money for it than any other cheap android tablet option with pen if you are really serious about drawing part. i have tried matepad with its pen and i cant properly draw on it at all, the line is wobbly and palm rejection is horrible (even if you turn on the pen only draw, your hand still manage to activate random gesture because of how bad the rejection is). and i can see this Xiaomi pad also has similar problem that matepad had with its pen.
Yeah, but atleast buy iPad Air if you want to go the Apple route. The non-laminated 7 years old tech display on basic iPad is just unacceptable, resolution aside. (You have to go well below $200 to find such a bad panel on the Android side)
Hi I think to, but I heard Apple slow down your gadget over time is that true? Because I didn't use apple products and I want buy iPad after 5_3 month.
I would wait for a black friday or similar sale and get ipad air 4, ipads power, optimization and future proofing is just worth spending more so you can keep it longer, it is also better for art. Thats what i will do at least
@@PemyAtencio hmm i just get my hand on xiaomi recently. And so far it works wonders. Almost same experience as samsung tab for me. Ipad also works nicely(tried on relatives ones) but the load time for some reasons isnt fare well .
The tapering will severely affect hair & folds drawing, it's the same problem I faced with the cheap old wacom non tablet which had 2048 lvl of pressure sensitivity. You would have to go back with another brush or eraser & cut off the strokes to make it look tapered.
@@gshockstyles don't kid yourself, I've already tested Samsung Tabs & Xiaomi at stores. Apple immediately became my choice. Yeah CSP may aid you with it's assisting tools but only so far. In procreate you will struggle. & although I do all my drawings in CSP , procreate has virtually no lag as opposed to every other software. So It becomes necessary for some artworks. Once you really deep dive into details you'll know how much that tapering affects drawing. Nothing till date has come close to Apple Pencil I'm sorry.
I was just referring to tapering issue, I own both and im just stating what was based on my experience. so be polite. Im not into brand war. Im just sharing what I observe.
@@gshockstyles any more polite & I would have to be a robot. & I only use Ipad for drawing everything else is Pc & Android. I have no interest in moving to Apple ecosystem.
Pad 5 pro would have the same experience. It basically has more ram and a better processor so you'll only get more Layers. S7 FE has better precision. On par with iPads and comes with the pens. If you want it mainly for Drawing then go with FE. But if you want to draw and also game and do heavy multitasking then either of the Pad 5s would work since the FE only had 4gb of ram in base model. FE has expandable storage as well while the Pad 5s and ipads dont.
*Problem with Xiaomi is the best of its phones and tabs never come out of China. It just launched a great phone named Xiaomi Civi it's complete package but it won't launched globally and it's very economic back in china. So is with tabs. Second thing is each item costs almost 50 to 80 US$ more in India. And when cost rises like that features and item itself become contested with others. I would buy Xiaomi tab but its not out in Asia. I'm likely to go for Apple because of unavailability. I understand Android very well and wanted a good quality premium sort of Android tab but galaxy tab are kinda expensive and not to the par*
Xiaomi's stuff are much less expensive than Apple's so they can't compete in buying power in terms of chips and such. Providers will sell to Apple because of their high buying price. Even Apple has shortage now so it's understandable.
I had an Samsung S6 lite, and I started to love the 'note taking' option, and then started drawing, and it was lame so now Im getting the iPad (after trying out in a shop) because the drawing experience, I think (!) is waay better. So my comment is, for notes these "inactive" styluses and android is totally fine(especially Samsung notes app was nice). But if You want this nicer experience, Id suggest iPad.
Is it worth it for note taking? Gonna use it mainly for study in univ. Tbh I consider Xiaomi pad (cheaper) or using Samsung/ipad 😅 esp since I need to think the budget
@@gabrielinkherz I used the built in Note app and the MS OneNote app (that could sync with my computers) its ok. I cant say I dont like it. But maybe Im lately just not taking enough notes.
I tried both tab7fe and ipad 9 in the stores, only the lines coming from the Apple pencil is the most natural and you can feel the pressure can be easily controlled, tab 7fe has a big nice screen, but still ipad did the best for drawing
A bought a phone in 2019, Redmi 7A with 2GB Ram, for $80. It run smoothly with MIUI 10. But with every update it got worse and worse. Now, with MIUI 12, every app I minimize closes itself. Some of the apps don't remember what I edited or typed, and everytime I return to the apps the changes are lost.
i used iPad Gen 6 and despite even new tablet from Samsung or other Android tablet w great reviews, i still end up upgrade to iPad Pro M1 this year because of many reasons, the eco system and the app is much more better build than any other android tablet (even back when I was using iPad Gen 6 to draw comics, digital artworks or any other entertainment stuffs). Also I still haven't seen a killer-app drawing on Android like Procreate on iPad (the most reason why I bought iPad tbh). I don't know... maybe there is but drawing on iPad is still so much better imo. Hard to explain why tho.
Watching this video...made me realise I took the right decision of buying the iPad.it is just better in the smallest ways where it matters to me.For example,the whites just look much better because of truetone
iPad is helps a lot in terms of lines smoothering. But if you want more precise control and you have skill in your arms - use Xiaomi and brush settings. It's my opinion.
I used the xiaomi smart pen for less than 2 months and the tip of the pen got broken while taking notes, and the company is not even offering repair and they just simply told me to buy a new one
In my opinion, invest your hard earned money on apple iPad for consistency and reliability. I owned a xiaomi device, but used a custom rom because of how buggy is MIUI. *And not all user's are like me who can flash and use a custom rom. Everytime MIUI released an update, instead of fixing issues they add more and more problems. ADS. These are also annoying. Maybe for now it's not present, but in the future they will also implement it on their tablets. Also that lag on pen is also a deal breaker. Especially if you're really gonna focus on drawing. Displays are good on both tablets, pad 5 have HDR support and iPad 9th gen have TRUE TONE. For sound quality pad 5 clearly wins, but iPad 9 have HEADPHONE JACK😏 But for the overall value it's the iPad 9 for me still in 2022. An all rounder. (a students perspective)
Sorry, but if you compare hardware, do it with the same app. While I believe that the tapering of lines is a hardware issue on the Xaomi, the software could also be the problem there. The constant change of apps in your video is rather not good. Stick with CSP, there you can compare them properly.
In that case I should stick with Medibang Paint Pro since it's the app that will show the actual un-configured un-adjusted performance of the pen. Not sure if people will actually have the patience to go adjust each brush they use in CSP. I tried and it's very tedious to use software to correct hardware issues.
I am a student and my use of the pen is for writing only. For this purpose only, will there be a noticeable difference between Apple Pencil and Xiaomi Smart Pen ?
@@teohontech7141 Thanks for the quick response, Really love your videos😻 So for a Xiaomi fan, and an Android geek like me, the Pad 5 Is the perfect choice
As a xiaomi user The pen is very nice but when im writing in Microsoft one note it's not very stable maybe the right app for writing is need to be considered. If you have a lot of budget go for Ipad but with a low budget and more storage go with xiaomi
Does Xiaomi stylus make loud tapping noise like the apple one? As I want a tablet for making notes and I find using apple stylus too noisy in classroom.
brother i want a tablet for reading books and taking notes. these are my two main objectives. at most of the times, i would be writing on my tab. i used ipad 9th gen and i actually felt that air gap due to non laminated display. should i go with xeomi pad. i don't draw that much on it.
@@RandomUser-tj3mg no one's forcing them. It's a matter of preference. And "locking" yourself is a gradual process over years of choosing which devices work for you. If you started with a MacBook and ipod, for example, you might've wanted to go for an iphone due to the ease of use across the other devices. As years go by, you've gotten comfortable with the ecosystem. So with tablets, the preference is almost always towards the iPad. As for me, I've been accustomed to Windows. So Android became a conscious decision for phones (also, Apple prices are just too much). But I'd consider an iPad because it still is the best tablet so far but with budget, I might end up with the Xiaomi Pad 5.
Hand drawn ones, yes. But not-hand drawn designed logos, probably not as there aren't many graphic design apps from Google Play Store, .e.g. Affinity Photo, Adobe Illustrator.
@@teohontech7141 Won't Mi Pad be much more uncomfortable in drawing than graphic tablet is? I mean entry-level tablets not professional. I was thinking to buy one. But Mi Pad looks attractive for the price and combining graphic abilities and multimedia
@@senny_penny The drawing experience overall is good. It's just that the Xiaomi pen isn't as sensitive compared to graphics drawing tablets. The iPad with Apple Pencil has better drawing performance. But as a tablet, the Xiaomi Pad 5 is provides way more value than iPad. Ultimately it depends on what type of art you're creating. E.g. if you're creating comic art, I probably can't recommend this as the lines taper abruptly instead of smoothly and sharply.
I would put my experience wit ipad, pencil, andorid etc: Ios aka apple gizmos have nice hardware, but file management etc is realy shait. They probably put "patents" on active pencil "technology" and embargo on most used drawing/editing apps partners to be exclusive in ios only. This is then only thing that keep therir advantage in tablet world. Otherwise, android is way better in general work, imo. They only need to somehow re-rout apple's draconian "patent" lawyers and put app partners on tandoori trail (there are millions of users, really don't understand why they don't want money from them, lol)
I am thinking of buying a tablet for social media content creation -- Canva, Tiktok Editing, Figma, and maybe start learning digital illustration/ drawing as a hobby. What do you think is better? Xiaomi Pad 5 or Huawei Matepad pro 11?
Hello thanks for your video, a query I want a tablet with a pen mainly to draw, study (take notes) and watch videos but I am not sure if the Xiaomi pad 5 pro will be able to satisfy my needs, do you recommend it?
For casual drawing, Xiaomi is good enough. The Xiaomi is better than the iPad in almost every other area except for drawing. I've mentioned the limitation of drawing performance in this video.
Hi Tech on Tech, I'm considering buying a Xiaomi pad 5, do you have any recommendations on how good the palm rejection is? Because I want to buy it for university and I'm writing and taking notes with my palms on the table.. Greetings from Germany
@@teohontech7141 thank you.. I use tab for teaching purposes. I have Samsung Galaxy tab s3(32gb WiFi). I want to replace it with Mi pad 5. Will this be a good buy? My teaching is totally dependent on the magic pen.
Edit: S Pen can taper the lines much better. Other things to compare, e.g. price, Samsung Dex, S Pen with cheap replaceable nibs, SD card slot, 8GB RAM, better processor.
@@teohontech7141 In my experience the Spen and the Apple Pencil perform the same, so to say that Xiaomi's Pen is on par with Samsung's is to contradict this whole video.
I would rather say that Ipad pencil and S pen perform equally good than say they perform the same. They do their thing differently, each has it's specific flavour, but they are both nice in their own way (I actually prefer the softer and springier feel of S pen's tip, but that's personal). If Xiaomi's pen is equal to S pen, then it should be great too, but in some parts of video it seems a bit lacking. Well, it's their first generation, guess Xiaomi will catch up soon enough.
@@milanjovanovicpictogramax6032 I'm not saying that the Xiaomi Pen is super bad, but to say that it is at the same level of performance as the Spen while saying that it is less good than that of Apple that's where I'm not Okay. Not to mention my personal experience, there are thousands of videos on TH-cam that show that the Spen and the Apple Pencil are on the same level and in addition most of the time users of Apple Pencil add a matte protective film (Paper Link) to have the same texture and resistance as the Spen. I do not find it really honest to say or want to believe that the Xiaomi Pen is on the same level as the Spen, it is not true!
@@rolins3279 Yes, I understood you and generally agree. I'm reluctant to bash (or praise) Xiaomi's pen because I actually haven't used one myself (yet). I can just comment after what I'm seeing in this and other videos (and some personal experience with various other pens). My guess is that Xiaomi is not there yet, but that they will catch up soon. For example, I was pleasantly surprised how good Huawei's second generation of pen feels and performs.
Is it worth it for note taking? Gonna use it mainly for study in univ. Tbh I consider Xiaomi pad 6 (cheaper) or using Samsung/ipad 😅 esp since I need to think the budget
@@maurorenard82 Concepts is a vector app but it's designed for drawing rather than for creating graphic design like you can with Affinity Photo or Adobe Illustrator.
Yeas thats what Im missing to edit some vector graphic designs and founts in my phone for later machining, like laser engraving. With an Ipad I can do that already, but I need it in my pocket
@@teohontech7141 hey when a Vector Graphic app like illustrator or affinity designer or something near like them, comes to Android can you maybe make a review pls?
I'm still not sure between the two. I'm leaning more towards Ipad 9 JUST coz it's apple. I have friends who use old Ipads and are still fine with it while I don't know anyone who used android tablets for that long. Pad 5 def has better specs but I need it for just drawing tbh. The only reason I'm not straight up going to Ipad is because Pad 5 is a lot cheaper for me but also I don't mind spending extra for Ipad. This is tough.
Xiaomi Pad 5 is a much better tablet except when drawing the lines don't taper as smooth as Apple Pencil, which I don't think is a big deal but that of course depends on the type of art you create.
@@teohontech7141 thank you so much for this review, this is the type of review ive been looking for.. i think pad 5 pro is a lot better, the tapering may be an issue for many artists but my style is more on semi real painting, not lineart, i also dont have enough money hahah
hi there, I'm finding a hard time searching for reviews on those tablets focusing on 3d sculpting, any chances you could spare me your thoughts on that?
Not sure how many OS updates Xiaomi will get. It's a great tablet now. As for iPad, it's sold with outdated specs today and will continue to get updates for a longer time.
@@teohontech7141 definitely agree that apple holds back on the base iPad. Reliability and durability also factor into the worth of something.... So, I'll be interested see how all Xiaomi (and other non main stream) products hold up in the future. Them, and Realme make some really good speced phones as well. I think a large number of consumers are hesitant because of the lack of long term reputation.
Edit: S Pen can taper the lines much better. Other things to compare, e.g. price, Samsung Dex, S Pen with cheap replaceable nibs, SD card slot, 8GB RAM, better processor.
小米的筆這麼烙賽，先生還可以沒事一樣，真的很有耐心 of course you can draw well on ipad or android if you’re at a certain skill level the problem is when the stutters in zooming/panning, the line size glitch and palm rejection error just become a constant interruption on your creative process.
LOL. I just realised the Name & Description at the start.
Yeah i knew something seemed off about that lol but you good teoh!
Xiaomi give u like 3 updates . My phone was originally android 9
Hello, can you tell me which one is better for pdf reading/notetaking between these 2 in your opinion?
@@prayogialsyah About the same. And since they perform similarly, go with Xiaomi because you get more for your money.
Hi, i got a question, as i will not be using it for drawing.. can u use either pen on either of the tablets?
damn, I really hope that xiaomi will be more serious to make a product for drawing.. this tablet got a lot of potentials
Yeah, broke design students like me really need a handy device which is good for digital drawing, talking notes at any location.
We have to use heavy 3kg laptops which have less battery life and isn't really portable.
Is asking for procreate level software from Android too much?
Tbh, apple is overpriced overall.
Most Android phone manufacturers don't really care that much about tablets.Even the more expensive Samsung ones don't get much support compared to an iPad.Google themselves said that they don't really care about tablets when they design new Android versions.It really depends on Xiaomi,Samsung,etc to make the OS run like it should and make things compatible with them.Yeah,iPad is expensive but to be honest,you won't have any problems with it,runs as fast as a phone,has 6 years of updates and you can still get some money for it if you decide to sell it.
I hope they partner with well known Graphic Tablets company like XP pen just like samsung did with Wacom with their S Pen

Watching this video...made me realise I took the right decision of buying the iPad.it is just better in the smallest ways where it matters to me.For example,the whites just look much better because of truetone
iPad is helps a lot in terms of lines smoothering. But if you want more precise control and you have skill in your arms - use Xiaomi and brush settings. It's my opinion.
I used the xiaomi smart pen for less than 2 months and the tip of the pen got broken while taking notes, and the company is not even offering repair and they just simply told me to buy a new one
You can find Xiaomi Smart Pen tips on AliExpress here tidd.ly/3eqSgr8
In my opinion, invest your hard earned money on apple iPad for consistency and reliability.
I owned a xiaomi device, but used a custom rom because of how buggy is MIUI.
*And not all user's are like me who can flash and use a custom rom.
Everytime MIUI released an update, instead of fixing issues they add more and more problems.
ADS. These are also annoying. Maybe for now it's not present, but in the future they will also implement it on their tablets.
Also that lag on pen is also a deal breaker. Especially if you're really gonna focus on drawing.
Displays are good on both tablets, pad 5 have HDR support and iPad 9th gen have TRUE TONE.
For sound quality pad 5 clearly wins, but iPad 9 have HEADPHONE JACK😏
But for the overall value it's the iPad 9 for me still in 2022. An all rounder.

This is really helpful. Thank you!! ✨
Sorry, but if you compare hardware, do it with the same app. While I believe that the tapering of lines is a hardware issue on the Xaomi, the software could also be the problem there. The constant change of apps in your video is rather not good. Stick with CSP, there you can compare them properly.
In that case I should stick with Medibang Paint Pro since it's the app that will show the actual un-configured un-adjusted performance of the pen.
Not sure if people will actually have the patience to go adjust each brush they use in CSP. I tried and it's very tedious to use software to correct hardware issues.
I am a student and my use of the pen is for writing only. For this purpose only, will there be a noticeable difference between Apple Pencil and Xiaomi Smart Pen ?
For writing purposes there's no difference
@@teohontech7141 Thanks for the quick response, Really love your videos😻
So for a Xiaomi fan, and an Android geek like me, the Pad 5 Is the perfect choice
As a xiaomi user The pen is very nice but when im writing in Microsoft one note it's not very stable maybe the right app for writing is need to be considered. If you have a lot of budget go for Ipad but with a low budget and more storage go with xiaomi
@@janerio3453 One note is bad for writing
Does Xiaomi stylus make loud tapping noise like the apple one? As I want a tablet for making notes and I find using apple stylus too noisy in classroom.
No noisy tapping sound
The best review I've ever watched. You are really a great artist very talented one.. Gosh! I really enjoyed watching your video and is very detailed.
Does xiaomi have palm rejection when using its pen?
Yes there is
@@teohontech7141 Thank you
brother i want a tablet for reading books and taking notes. these are my two main objectives. at most of the times, i would be writing on my tab. i used ipad 9th gen and i actually felt that air gap due to non laminated display. should i go with xeomi pad. i don't draw that much on it.
Go with Xiaomi. It's a much better tablet
U must also used the exchange pencil , mi pen lo n iPad and vice versa
i had my hands on mipad 5 in xiaomi store, and i think the overall build is quite solid
Best review and comparison ever. Thanks a lot. I subscribed ❤️
Qual nome do aplicativo no mi pad 5 tempo 9:30?
Great review video. Tks you, guy! 👍
As a U.S. resident I really wanted the Xiaomi Pad 5 as I prefer Android but I went with the iPad 9 due to availability in the U.S..
I had to say if I'm not locked with apple because of the ecosystem, I will definitely explore different options. Nice video btw!
I was also locked, now I finally broke that lock and entered to Tab S7, and I must say it was totally worth 😊
Why r u locked. Who is forcing you to buy apple products
@@RandomUser-tj3mg no one's forcing them. It's a matter of preference. And "locking" yourself is a gradual process over years of choosing which devices work for you. If you started with a MacBook and ipod, for example, you might've wanted to go for an iphone due to the ease of use across the other devices. As years go by, you've gotten comfortable with the ecosystem. So with tablets, the preference is almost always towards the iPad.
As for me, I've been accustomed to Windows. So Android became a conscious decision for phones (also, Apple prices are just too much). But I'd consider an iPad because it still is the best tablet so far but with budget, I might end up with the Xiaomi Pad 5.
If I am not an illustrator is Xiaomi tablet enough for creating logos and patterns?
Thanks
Hand drawn ones, yes. But not-hand drawn designed logos, probably not as there aren't many graphic design apps from Google Play Store, .e.g. Affinity Photo, Adobe Illustrator.
@@teohontech7141 Won't Mi Pad be much more uncomfortable in drawing than graphic tablet is? I mean entry-level tablets not professional. I was thinking to buy one. But Mi Pad looks attractive for the price and combining graphic abilities and multimedia
@@senny_penny The drawing experience overall is good. It's just that the Xiaomi pen isn't as sensitive compared to graphics drawing tablets. The iPad with Apple Pencil has better drawing performance. But as a tablet, the Xiaomi Pad 5 is provides way more value than iPad. Ultimately it depends on what type of art you're creating. E.g. if you're creating comic art, I probably can't recommend this as the lines taper abruptly instead of smoothly and sharply.
I would put my experience wit ipad, pencil, andorid etc:
Ios aka apple gizmos have nice hardware, but file management etc is realy shait. They probably put "patents" on active pencil "technology" and embargo on most used drawing/editing apps partners to be exclusive in ios only. This is then only thing that keep therir advantage in tablet world.
Otherwise, android is way better in general work, imo. They only need to somehow re-rout apple's draconian "patent" lawyers and put app partners on tandoori trail (there are millions of users, really don't understand why they don't want money from them, lol)
Hello, I would like to know if you can edit videos with both tablets and which apps.
why mipad does not look smooth at drawing line compared to ipad? is that the stylus pen faults or software doesn't have any stabilizer?
I am thinking of buying a tablet for social media content creation -- Canva, Tiktok Editing, Figma, and maybe start learning digital illustration/ drawing as a hobby. What do you think is better? Xiaomi Pad 5 or Huawei Matepad pro 11?
Xiaomi because Google Play Store is pre-installed
@@teohontech7141 Thanks for your answer Teoh! I love watching your comparison videos.
Hi ... Thanks for sharing us this information.. just i want to ask you about the application for drawing in mi pad Xiaomi 5 that I can download it .
The one I use is Concepts. Other good ones are Sketchbook, Medibang Paint Pro, Krita, Tayasui Sketches, HiPaint, Infinite Painter
Teoh will you review the Lenovo 8inch tablet? Y700 thanks!
Also what's the closest app to procreate for windows
I'll not be reviewing Lenovo Y700.
Closest app to Procreate on Windows is probably Clip Studio Paint with Simple Mode (minimal UI).
if you're going to compare the tablets, please compare them using the same app :/ the apps used also affect the result
Hello thanks for your video, a query I want a tablet with a pen mainly to draw, study (take notes) and watch videos but I am not sure if the Xiaomi pad 5 pro will be able to satisfy my needs, do you recommend it?
For casual drawing, Xiaomi is good enough. The Xiaomi is better than the iPad in almost every other area except for drawing. I've mentioned the limitation of drawing performance in this video.
@@teohontech7141 Thank you so much!
Hi Tech on Tech,
I'm considering buying a Xiaomi pad 5, do you have any recommendations on how good the palm rejection is? Because I want to buy it for university and I'm writing and taking notes with my palms on the table..
Greetings from Germany
Apps that accept only pen input will have perfect palm rejection. There should be no problem since most apps will have that feature.
@@teohontech7141❤
Do Mi Pad 5 supports write on PDF like Samsung Galaxy tabs do?
Yes
@@teohontech7141 thank you.. I use tab for teaching purposes. I have Samsung Galaxy tab s3(32gb WiFi). I want to replace it with Mi pad 5. Will this be a good buy? My teaching is totally dependent on the magic pen.
@@sanatanikannadiga It's a good buy. this xiaomi tablet is very good
What kind of tablet is better for note taking?
Any tablet that supports a stylus (same brand as tablet) should work well for taking notes
What would recommend for drawing and which pen is better - xiaomi pad 5 or tab s7?
Edit: S Pen can taper the lines much better. Other things to compare, e.g. price, Samsung Dex, S Pen with cheap replaceable nibs, SD card slot, 8GB RAM, better processor.
@@teohontech7141 In my experience the Spen and the Apple Pencil perform the same, so to say that Xiaomi's Pen is on par with Samsung's is to contradict this whole video.
I would rather say that Ipad pencil and S pen perform equally good than say they perform the same. They do their thing differently, each has it's specific flavour, but they are both nice in their own way (I actually prefer the softer and springier feel of S pen's tip, but that's personal). If Xiaomi's pen is equal to S pen, then it should be great too, but in some parts of video it seems a bit lacking. Well, it's their first generation, guess Xiaomi will catch up soon enough.
@@milanjovanovicpictogramax6032 I'm not saying that the Xiaomi Pen is super bad, but to say that it is at the same level of performance as the Spen while saying that it is less good than that of Apple that's where I'm not Okay.
Not to mention my personal experience, there are thousands of videos on TH-cam that show that the Spen and the Apple Pencil are on the same level and in addition most of the time users of Apple Pencil add a matte protective film (Paper Link) to have the same texture and resistance as the Spen.
I do not find it really honest to say or want to believe that the Xiaomi Pen is on the same level as the Spen, it is not true!
@@rolins3279 Yes, I understood you and generally agree. I'm reluctant to bash (or praise) Xiaomi's pen because I actually haven't used one myself (yet). I can just comment after what I'm seeing in this and other videos (and some personal experience with various other pens). My guess is that Xiaomi is not there yet, but that they will catch up soon. For example, I was pleasantly surprised how good Huawei's second generation of pen feels and performs.
My hero , me quedo con el iPad para dibujar 👍
Is it worth it for note taking? Gonna use it mainly for study in univ. Tbh I consider Xiaomi pad 6 (cheaper) or using Samsung/ipad 😅 esp since I need to think the budget
For note taking, xiaomi is good enough and worth the money
@@teohontech7141 yey, I see.. I really appreciate your fast response despite older video 🙏🙏🙏
what is the apk you use on android at 8:25?
Clip Studio paint
If you didn't do your art on your pc which tablet would you choose? Considering those tapered lines etc
Can you suggest a good handwriting notebook app for students?
how's the matepad 11 compared to both?
Huawei pen has better taper but wobbly diagonal lines. I’ve another comparison review coming up.
No Procreate for Android...
Thanks for your comparison 😀
Actually the xiaomi pen is better for me cuz I like applying at least a bit pressure while drawing 🤣🤣🤣
Is it working till now
Thanks for review, still not sure which to get!
krita 5 beta is now available for android and in my opinion is the best drawing software on mobile hands down, its free and not available on ios.
Hello. I'm choosing between these two for gaming genshin with an 8bitdo controller. Which would you recommend?
Xiaomi
Always a good review....
Can Procreate be installed and run on Xiaomi Pad 5? Can the pen insensitivity be tackled using various brush styles a bit?
Procreate only works on iPad
But still no vector illustration apps on android like affinity designer, am I right?
Unfortunately no
I am sorry, but isn’t concept a vector illustration app?
@@maurorenard82 Concepts is a vector app but it's designed for drawing rather than for creating graphic design like you can with Affinity Photo or Adobe Illustrator.
Yeas thats what Im missing to edit some vector graphic designs and founts in my phone for later machining, like laser engraving. With an Ipad I can do that already, but I need it in my pocket
@@teohontech7141 hey when a Vector Graphic app like illustrator or affinity designer or something near like them, comes to Android can you maybe make a review pls?
Kaya din po ba mag drawing sa realme pad ng animation?
I'm still not sure between the two. I'm leaning more towards Ipad 9 JUST coz it's apple. I have friends who use old Ipads and are still fine with it while I don't know anyone who used android tablets for that long. Pad 5 def has better specs but I need it for just drawing tbh. The only reason I'm not straight up going to Ipad is because Pad 5 is a lot cheaper for me but also I don't mind spending extra for Ipad. This is tough.
Xiaomi Pad 5 is a much better tablet except when drawing the lines don't taper as smooth as Apple Pencil, which I don't think is a big deal but that of course depends on the type of art you create.
@@teohontech7141 thank you so much for this review, this is the type of review ive been looking for.. i think pad 5 pro is a lot better, the tapering may be an issue for many artists but my style is more on semi real painting, not lineart, i also dont have enough money hahah

hi there, I'm finding a hard time searching for reviews on those tablets focusing on 3d sculpting, any chances you could spare me your thoughts on that?
I don’t do 3d sculpting so I can’t say much. You should research the 3d sculpting software available on tablet platforms first, and tablets second
PLEASE HELPP!! in my country xiaomi pad 5 and s6 lite are the same price. iam a student and i just started to learn to draw , which one should i buy?
Xiaomi pen performance is not as good as S Pen but as a tablet overall, Xiaomi just a much better tablet and that's the one I'll recommend.
@@teohontech7141 thank youu :D
I am wondering what the longevity of the Xiaomi is, compared to iPad. Would someone still be using Xiaomi in 5 years?... With current updates?
Not sure how many OS updates Xiaomi will get. It's a great tablet now. As for iPad, it's sold with outdated specs today and will continue to get updates for a longer time.
@@teohontech7141 definitely agree that apple holds back on the base iPad. Reliability and durability also factor into the worth of something.... So, I'll be interested see how all Xiaomi (and other non main stream) products hold up in the future.
Them, and Realme make some really good speced phones as well. I think a large number of consumers are hesitant because of the lack of long term reputation.
Thanks for video! Can Somebody tell me what is the app he using in the video? The app that he prefer more than Procreate?
Concepts
@@teohontech7141 Thanks)
Excellent review! Do you still have a Tab S7 at home that you could compare this to in a similar way?
Edit: S Pen can taper the lines much better. Other things to compare, e.g. price, Samsung Dex, S Pen with cheap replaceable nibs, SD card slot, 8GB RAM, better processor.

小米的筆這麼烙賽，先生還可以沒事一樣，真的很有耐心
of course you can draw well on ipad or android if you’re at a certain skill level
the problem is when the stutters in zooming/panning, the line size glitch and palm rejection error just become a constant interruption on your creative process.
Which app are you referring to for those problems?
which one would you recomend for artists
If you're creating professional work, iPad. Just for casual drawing, Xiaomi because it has fantastic value for money.
