HEMC Tech Tips
So why don't we use OneNote? You can write things with the pen while sliding the pages with your finger. But you need to press "stop" before you type words, or you won't type anything on it.
We just talked about OneNote, a third-party app. Let's talk about other apps.
Some built-in apps are redesigned for the Mi Pad, like Weather, Mi Music(QQ Music), Mi App Store and even the Mi AI.
But it's not perfect yet.
Like the control center, on the iPad OS you can only call it from the corner of the screen, but on the MIUI for Pad, you can call it from the right half of the screen. (The left half is the notification center.)
So that I can't call the search bar by sliding, which is not very good(in my opinion).
Also, the clean all tabs button is at the corner of the screen and it's so small.

For other third-party apps, MIUI for Pad has a function which is like the 平行视界 on Huawei Pads.
But it's also not perfect.
Like the bilibili, the Chinese niconico/YouTube, the left side always shows the first page of the app, even I open a video from the YouTuber's page.
Of course I can use bilibiliHD xD and I wish more and more Chinese Apps will provide tablet version.
But it's also not perfect.

Also, currently the multi-window on MIUI for Pad is not as good as the one on iPad OS
You can't slide the Dock out and slide the icon on dock into a window.
You can only long press the tab in recent tabs to change it into a window.

My friend ask me about the rear camera, here is the 10x zoom result.
(My friend needs to take photos of the blackboard so that he can take notes after class.)
Pic. 1/2 is the Mi Pad 5 Pro
Pic 3/4 is the Mi Pad 5
Pic 5/6 is the Mi 9

Back to the daily typing experience.
It's bad, really bad.
For example, I want to search something in bilibili
Then I click the search bar using the pen
Then I need to type the words with the physical keyboard instead of the pen
You might say that I'm connecting the physical keyboard and it's OK.
So I disconnect it.
Then I click the search bar again using the pen
Then the keyboard pop up and I can't write but only type via the virtual keyboard
I need to switch to handwriting mode manually to write things
I return to the home page and then open bilibili again
This time I click the search bar using my finger
Then the keyboard pop up with handwriting mode instead of typing mode
That's really bad considering that I am using the built-in input method. (And it’s also a Mi Special Edition)

What's more, the accessories?
I don't recommend buying the official physical keyboard.
You can't change the viewing angle
It doesn't have a touchpad
The Contact point is on the side of the Mi Pad, not on the back
(It means if you don't attach it precisely, it won't work)
If you are familiar with the iPad accessories then I can tell you that it looks like Smart Keyboard Folio but connects like Smart Keyboard

What about the Pen?
It costs 349CNY
Not cheap (compare to Huawei M-Pen) but also not expensive (compare to Apple Pencil)
According to the official webpage, it can connect automatically when you attach it to the Pad
But when I test it, it needs to pair manually via Bluetooth, I think it might need an update or I just meet some bugs.
I think it worth buying
(otherwise why you need a tablet, for a big screen mobile gaming or just Netflix?)
I asked the clerk if the tip is sold separately and they told me that there is still no news yet.
I try to unscrewed it and failed.
So....
-349CNY xD
