Xiaomi Unveils Redmi Pad Pro: A Large, Affordable Tablet Option

Xiaomi has released the Redmi Pad Pro globally after launching it in China earlier. The tablet offers a large tablet experience at a mid-range price point. It features a 12.1-inch IPS display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, LPDDR4X RAM, UFS 2.2 flash storage, 10,000 mAh battery, quad speakers and more. The starting price is around $234, making it an affordable option for those seeking a large tablet experience.

The Redmi Pad Pro boasts a generous 12-inch display, offering ample screen real estate for an immersive experience. With a crisp resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, visuals are both detailed and fluid. While it utilizes a traditional IPS panel instead of AMOLED technology, the display is reinforced with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, providing added durability and protection against everyday wear and tear.

Powering the Redmi Pad Pro is the cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, a first for tablets. While it may not deliver flagship-level performance, it provides more than enough muscle for seamless everyday use, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable and efficient tablet experience.

n terms of storage, the Redmi Pad Pro offers flexibility with two RAM options – 6GB or 8GB – paired with either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. Additionally, the device features a microSD card slot, allowing users to expand their storage capacity as needed, providing ample space for apps, files, and multimedia content.

The Redmi Pad Pro truly shines when it comes to battery life, thanks to Xiaomi’s generous inclusion of a massive 10,000mAh battery. This impressive power source is complemented by a rapid 33W fast charger, ensuring that users can enjoy extended usage times and quick refueling when needed, making it an ideal choice for those who demand a tablet that can keep up with their active lifestyle.

Although the camera system may not be the Redmi Pad Pro’s strongest suit, both the front and rear cameras still offer a respectable 8MP resolution, providing adequate image quality for everyday photography and video calls, even if they may not excel in terms of detail and clarity.

Worth noting is that the initial release of the Redmi Pad Pro in China comes with some limitations, specifically the absence of mobile internet support and possibly a GPS module. However, this is offset by the inclusion of a quad-speaker setup, which promises an immersive audio experience, making it a great option for those who prioritize entertainment and multimedia usage.

The Redmi Pad Pro is priced competitively in China, starting at ¥1499 (around $207 USD) for the base 6GB + 128GB model. Prices gradually increase for higher storage configurations, offering flexibility for users to choose the right option based on their needs and budget.

Exciting news for Harry Potter enthusiasts! A special edition Redmi Pad Pro has been conjured up, complete with themed accessories and packaging. This limited edition bundle, featuring the 8GB + 256GB configuration, is priced at ¥2299 (around $317 USD), offering a unique and magical experience for fans of the beloved franchise.

Although the Redmi Pad Pro is currently available in China, based on historical trends, we can expect it to be released in other regions in the future. However, the exact date of its global release is yet to be confirmed. It’s possible that the Redmi Pad Pro might be rebranded under POCO branding in the global market, similar to the Redmi Turbo 3, which is rumored to be released as POCO F6.
