Xiaomi Pad 5 (2021) artist review: Incredible Value 

Halo bang

Mostly Samsungs i would guess. Apples apps(Procreate especially), power and future proofing is too good, its worth it to spend more money now and save yourself from having to change sooner. Actually where i life the Ipad Air 4 is cheaper than Samsung Tab7 if you ignore the Apple pen

@@ArtGuides ipad have good resale value too

The Samsung S6 Lite tablet is around 350$ and it's the cheapest tablet with a stylus included at the moment (I know there's the Simbans Picasso Tab por around 230$ but it breaks easily and it's just a low quality tablet with a stylus)

@@ArtGuides ive had a xiaomi device before and i dont trust them much, their devices degrade very poorly over time 😅my friend also had one and said after the first year the device felt like it was on its last legs dying, lmaoo..

@TheWipal wich is the device? I have a Redmi 9 actually and it will complete one year with me. It still is as fast and smooth as when I bought, considering the obvious limitations (it i a very basic model). But I agree if you say that some Xiaomi devices are not as good as others, for example Redmi Note 9 is worse than mine, altought it is more expensive (it regards to the chipset choosen by them). In the end it is a very complex question.

For drawing Clip Studio is just amazing!!! But I cost tho

Да, я то именно для рисования и хочу взять. Опоздал на распродажи остатков Huawei matepad 10.4, Samsung galaxy tab s6 lite. Других до 500$ пока нет в провинции Казахстана.

@@armantara41 а 2021 ipad ? Он стоит в районе 500 как раз

iPad 9 has smoother performance. But I recommend the Xiaomi instead because the overall package provides more value even if the drawing performance is not at the level of Apple Pencil.

ipad 9th gen only has 64gb/256gb as minimum and max storage tho, theres no 128gb variant

@@Tionic929 they never said anything about that

I thought it wasnt fully laminated

Hm

Use clip art studio as it has stabilizer option to remove that wobbly lines

So do u know the answer now? Cuz im confused about that too hahaha

No

how did it go

I am curious as well, which did you go with? I'm in the same boat at the moment.

@@JanVill Check the bug with netflix quality and decide how important is netflix and video apps like that for you. Because it has a problem with the L1 certificate. And xiaomi hans't fixed it. I returned mine. Other than that problem it works well.

@@joaocampos9262 thanks for the heads up! I decided to go with an ipad pro cause I found an amazing deal. but my friend is looking for one too and he mentioned this Xiaomi model is what he is looking at as well, so I'm definitely gonna mention that to him.

Hi, have you got xioami pad 5 and how was the experience am also drawing in finger and I am confused with cons of stylus but apple is too costly for me . Kindly pour ur experience with xioami.. which will be helpful for me

iPad also has that lag

Most drawing apps have option for you to save your files out into various file formats which you can then import to Adobe Illustrator. However note that these formats may not be vector. You can export vector files from concepts but the lines and shapes from these vector files may not appear like how you would expect. E.g. You can draw a line with Concepts, but that line is actually a shape (where you cant' apply stroke).

@@teohontech7141 Thank you very much!

Because there is no palm rejection with universal stylus. Palm rejection is only available with the Xiaomi smart pen

Drawing performance is kinda on par with the MatePad 11, just that the feel of the stylus is different. Xiaomi pen tip is not a hard tip. Huawei app store does not have the variety of English apps Google App Store has

No

They are all very capable for note taking. You can’t go wrong with any one. Apple Pencil is a hard tip, the other two are soft tips.

If drawing/painting is not included, then mipad 5 is better option i guess. Otherwise s7 fe.

Xiaomi. That Lenovo tablet's OLED display has several issues.

I don’t think a matte screen protector is necessary. Just a flip cover will do

Don't work with Noris Digital (or Samsung S Pen).

For video editing, I probably recommend you do it on a computer where it is more productive. For animation, I'm not sure. Clip Studio Paint should have some animation features.

Xiaomi Smart Pen

What lag are you talking about specifically?

@@teohontech7141 ah, sorry for the confusion. I mean the lag when using the pen

@@teohontech7141 such as this video on 4:32. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d6zeqQc9RZ4.html

@@ramadhanputra4175 That's the latency "lag". I covered this at 13:29. It's not a big deal. When you look at my drawing at 14:27 or 18:41, you'll probably not notice the latency because when drawing, we're usually not drawing long sweeping lines.

@@teohontech7141 ahhh, I see. Ok ok thanks for the information

When I reviewed previous Xiaoxin Pad tablet (Lenovo P11 Pro), the OLED display has several issues. So I would recommend Xiaomi instead.

Concepts

Only the Xiaomi pen will work with all the features on the Xiaomi tablet

@@teohontech7141 Ah, okay. Thx for info!

Try finding it on AliExpress and look for a good seller

If you spend more time drawing than anything else, get iPad. It not get Xiaomi.

@@teohontech7141 thank you so much!!

If you want to get for drawing, get Xiaomi because there's Google Play Store.

@@teohontech7141 yeah, planning on getting the Xiaomi. Thanks for the review!

Dont get the matepad! Getting apps is pain in the ass

@@hardrob23 thanks, already got the Pad 5

@@nimbusdub how was your experience with the pad 5?

Medibang Paint Pro

Xiaomi is better than Samsung except screen size is smaller

@@teohontech7141 thanks the reply, I ended up going for a s7+ which I got second hand but with all the deals I'm wondering if I should have saved myself $400 and gone with the xiaomi! Oh well, loving the s7+ in anycase!

Depends on the price. The Xiaomi tablet is overall better in almost every area than iPad except drawing performance is not as good as Apple Pencil.

Definitely worth it. This Xiaomi tablet is really good for the money.

For taking notes, go with Xiaomi. Note taking performance is quite similar, but Xiaomi tablet has way better specs.

Works fine. Just that the screen is small that’s all

Pens with palm rejection usually is made by same company that makes the tablet

@@teohontech7141 sure but its really hard for me to order a Xiaomi smart pen so im looking for an alternative option. Or a pen that help me drawing correctly.

@@Nguyen-ig1md Check out AliExpress. I bought my pen there

Note taking is as good as Samsung, iPad. It's very portable. My handwriting review is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lZWRHIKNQhw.html

It’s the same performance as desktop version. Only difference is pen has more difficulty tapering strokes. So maybe 8/10

It's great to hear it lasted so long.

Samsung has a better stylus, it offers a smoother drawing experience because of better pen pressure sensitivity than xiaomi's and it doesnt need to charge.. but when talking about performance, xiaomi wins this one. I dont really know about the latency and accuracy, but im guessing the latency in xiaomi is better because of 120hz and ram. But samsung may be more accurate since it tapers and smooth sharpness nicely. If you dont really care about performance and just want a better stylus, that would be the samsung. Its performance is ok. Im an artist as well, but im going for the xiaomi because; it's screen has accurate colors, has hdr and it is laminated (i think s6 lite is laminated too). The xiaomi stylus has a lesser smooth pressure sensitivity but it wont bother me since i paint a semi-real style than lineart.

Apparently, it's not built in. I haven't figured out how it can be installed but in the display unit of the store, it has the pc launcer. It works...

Does it really have 8 speakers? How does the audio sound?

Maybe Samsung Tab S6 Lite or this Xiaomi tablet.

Concepts, Medibang Paint

@@teohontech7141 thank you ❤️

Yes

Medibang Paint, Concepts, Clip Studio

Huion Sketch is no longer available for download

Watching videos and doing office work are not processor intensive. You can save the money and get the cheaper model.

@@teohontech7141 wow thanks for the response sir.. hehehe rather buy the mi pad 5 then hehe.. thanks sir.. stay safe..

Teoh on Tech another question. Can you do pinch out to full screen using youtube sir?

This is better in almost all areas. Samsung has better features from its OS but overall I still recommend the Xiaomi. Drawing performance is quite similar anyway.

consider the tab s6 line, as it has a better pen

@@ajtatosmano2 but what would you say for someone who wants it as an allround tablet. I am not a real artist i just want to scribble storyboards and sometimes draw something nice but most of time i use it to edit photos watch Netflix read comics etc. And i dont have much money

Milan then i think the mi pad is better for you, just use pen stabilizer in the drawing software

Milan then the mi pad is a better choice for you, indeed.

​@@ajtatosmano2sumsung s6 lite is better than this? I wanna please quick response needed. I need for digital art illustration

Many are free with some features locked behind paywall.

If you want to draw or write, the Xiaomi stylus is worth it

4. Two at the top, two at the bottom.

8 speakers...

@@ron87rs Wow. I saw the specs on gsmarena and it's indeed 8 speakers. Wonder where the other four are. lol

That video may appear next week

@@teohontech7141 thank you! Looking forward to it.

Works great at taking notes. As good as Samsung S Pen

For casual drawing it’s good. Only downside is the lines don’t taper as smooth and sharp compared to Apple and Samsung pens

Tab S7 is the better tablet. Microsd card, SamsungDex, Second Screen, better processor, more ram, less latency. But it’s also more expensive. If it’s just for taking notes, no need to spend the extra money for the slightly better writing experience.

Drawing performance is on par with Tab S6 Lite, but the tablet is better is almost all areas.

Yes

Those Wacom type tablets? Those have better drawing performance.

@@teohontech7141 Thanks!

I'm using Concepts concepts.app/en/

@@teohontech7141 thanks a lot!

I don't know it is charging or not. When it's connected with magnet.

Unfortunately there's no battery indicator for the pen. So it's best to keep the pen attached at all times.

@@teohontech7141 Thank you for your advice.

AliExpress

Concepts

Screen protector should not affect the pen.

@@teohontech7141 is there any paperlike protector good for this tablet?

@@olivezinha Look for the brand SuperShieldz. The size should be quite similar to Samsung Tab S7/S8. But check the dimensions just to be sure.
