Should you buy the Realme Pad X?
Realme aims to attract students and content consumers with its latest tablet, the Pad X. However, if we look at the specifications of the Xiaomi Pad 5, it seems to be a better deal. In comparison to Pad X, the Pad 5 is equipped with a better 120Hz display, a superior Snapdragon 860 processor, a slightly bigger battery, and more built-in storage.
