Earlier this week, Xiaomi introduced its first tablet under the Redmi brand. Aptly called Redmi Pad, the device offers some exciting features.
It can be termed the best tablet in its price segment by its raw specs. Let’s look at the features that make it stand out among the crowd.
What Makes Redmi Pad Special?
1. High Refresh Rate Display
High refresh rate screens are usually limited to premium tablets. But Xiaomi is offering this feature on its affordable Redmi Pad.
The device is built around a 10.61-inch display with a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels (WUXGA+) and up to a 90Hz refresh rate. The 10-bit panel has 220 PPI and supports up to 400 nits peak brightness level.
The tablet is certified by TÜV Rheinland-certified for low blue light emission. It is also the world’s first table to arrive with SGS low visual fatigue certification.
2. Customized Software
Most Android tablets on the market run close to stock Android with minimal features. Whereas, the Redmi Pad ships with MIUI for Pad, the same software that is found on the Xiaomi Pad 5.
As the name suggests, the MIUI for Pad is a customized version of Xiaomi’s Android skin designed for tablets. It packs useful features like split-screen, floating windows, multi windows, and a dock.
Almost all the first-party applications are optimized for tablets. Hence, they simply don’t run as a large version of a smartphone app.
The cherry on top is that Xiaomi is promising 2 Android and MIUI updates each, as well as 3 years of security updates.
3. Capable Chipset
Budget tablets generally house entry-level chipsets. However, the Redmi Pad is powered by MediaTek Helio G99 SoC, a chip that is found inside smartphones in this price segment. Hence, the device is as powerful as a regular smartphone in this range.
The device also comes with up to 6GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage. It also has support for MicroSD card expansion (up to 1TB).
4. Bonus: The Pricing!!
What makes the Redmi Pad an obvious choice for most people is its sweet pricing. The tablet starts at around €279 in Europe.
In India, the tablet is even cheaper as it starts at only ₹14,999. Additionally, for a limited time, the company has discounted the product by up to ₹3,000. It is even offering extra bank discounts.
As of now, the Redmi Pad is yet to go official in China. When it does, we expect it to be even more affordable there.
