Do you mean enabling developer mode and automatic update in developer options under additional setting?

Oh no no. In firmware update screen on top the 3 dots settings there's an option to opt in for faster update first so you can be a Guinea pig like most of us 😂

I'm also on look out for any tablet (at least 11") around the $400 region that can beat the SD860 powered Pad 5 / Pro since that the 2022 China Pad 5 Pro 12,4" is not going Global..

I am honestly very happy with the Mi Pad 5 at this point of time for what it can do and how much i paid for it for doing what i want it to do lol. I'm a bit split on the size though.

Love the big screen but hate the weight. Had a Nexus 7 2012 before, can hold with 1 hand so it's good. I think if there's an 8"+ tablet nowadays and with a slimmer bezel profile, it's going to be perfect.

If you carry around you tablet very often, The heavy weight is an issue!

I don't carry around my tablet. I only carry/use it when I need it to play games or watch video at free and relaxing time outdoor I usually play games out of my house! Not at home!

That's why the bigger 12.4' will be very shiok for my 2 main usages. :giggle:

Putting a big screen tablet in a haversack also a bit scary, like sometimes if i'm a bit rough only or i put too many things in my bag will break the screen cos of the surface area.

To be fair to mipad, their first generation was damn good and affordable. It lasted me quite a while until it suddenly just kapok black screen can't repair even at ah beng hp shops.
Really not all users want or need big screen. For example I just need something big enough to watch movies and read ebook on the bed. Anything too big will be heavy tiring to carry and binge watch also...
