after many leaks and speculation, Xiaomi introduced the line in August Mi Pad 5 — two new tablets with advanced specs, such as Snapdragon chips and 120 Hz refresh rate screens, which aim to intensify the competition in the tablet market, yet Apple dominated.
The series launch was a huge success in China: more than 200 thousand units were sold in five minutes. With such popularity involved in consumer feedback, it’s clear that Xiaomi is already planning to release the Mi Pad 5 and Mi Pad 5 Pro not global market.
On September 15, the Chinese manufacturer will announce the launch of the new product in other regions of the world; and we already have access to the supposed sale prices. The expectation is that the amount will be higher than that applied in China.

This price increase is not unexpected — certainly the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 would sell for a higher price outside the home country. The $170 margin is understandable, but it is worth pointing out that the variation can be greater or less depending on the region. So far there is no information about a possible launch of the tablet line in Brazil.
What did you think of this price variation? Would you like the Mi Pad 5 to be released in Brazil?
