Description

Tab5 is a highly expandable, portable smart-IoT terminal development device for developers, integrating a dual-core architecture and rich hardware resources. The main controller adopts the ESP32-P4 SoC based on the RISC-V architecture, with 16MB Flash and 32MB PSRAM. The wireless module uses the ESP32-C6-MINI-1U, supporting Wi-Fi 6. Its antenna system can freely switch between the built-in 3D antenna and an external MMCX antenna interface, flexibly adapting to various deployment environments to ensure data throughput and low-latency control.

In terms of visual and interactive experience, the Tab5 is equipped with a 5″ 1280×720 IPS touchscreen featuring an MIPI‑DSI interface, delivering a smooth and responsive touch interaction. It also comes with an SC2356 2MP camera (1600×1200) that uses an MIPI‑CSI interface, enabling HD video recording, image processing, and edge AI applications such as facial recognition and object tracking.

Peripheral interfaces include USB Type-A (Host) and USB Type-C (USB 2.0 OTG) for mouse, keyboard and other devices. Industrial users can leverage RS-485 (SIT3088 + switchable 120Ω terminator). HY2.0-4P, M5-Bus, GPIO_EXT headers, a microSD slot, and reserved STAMP pads (for Cat-M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, etc.) enable versatile sensor and communication expansion. Reset/Boot buttons provide quick reset and download-mode entry.

Audio features consist of an ES8388 codec plus an ES7210 AEC front-end, a dual-mic array, 3.5mm headphone jack and speaker, supporting Hi-Fi recording/playback and accurate voice recognition. A BMI270 6-axis sensor (accelerometer + gyroscope, interrupt wake-up) can wake the MCU in motion-tracking scenarios, boosting response efficiency in low-power mode.

For time and power, Tab5 integrates an RX8130CE RTC (timed interrupt wake-up). The base accepts a removable NP-F550 Li-ion battery and features MP4560 buck-boost, IP2326 charge management, and INA226 real-time monitoring for stable standalone operation.

A 1/4″-20 tripod nut on the side allows direct mounting to a tripod or bracket.

Applications include smart-home control, remote monitoring, industrial automation, IoT prototyping and education, offering a full-featured, easily expandable high-performance platform.

Beautiful device, needs more example software configs

I received this unit planning to use it with Home Assistant, but I have not been able to get any of the sample ESP Home configurations to work. Based on my searches, it does not appear that anyone else in the community has been able to do so yet, at the time of this review. M5, if you publish more info on how to do this, the HA community will jump all over it.

Great Overall Device

Giving all the features and functionality that comes with the Tab5 it is definitely worth the price. Hopefully a future update will lead to faster UI when using UIFlow which a way too slow given the speed of the ESP32-P4 MCU. Take a look at my video review here: https://youtu.be/XACKib0k_wA
