The original Redmi Pad was released in October of last year with the Helio G99 SoC and an IPS LCD display. Leaks suggest that a next-generation tablet is also scheduled to be released sometime this year. While early details hinted that it would be called the Redmi Pad 2, a new report claims that the device will be branded as the Redmi Pad SE. Redmi has yet to confirm the release of the new slate, but it appears that we won’t have to wait much longer, as it has received another global certification.

Redmi Pad SE could be a solid budget tablet

The Redmi Pad SE has received TDRA approval with the model number 23073RPBFG. As usual, the certification listing didn’t reveal anything interesting apart from the manufacturer details, which in this case is Xiaomi, and the model number. However, the certification suggests that the Redmi Pad SE is inching toward its global launch.

While we don’t have an official confirmation regarding the tablet’s launch, reports claim it will launch alongside the Xiaomi Pad 6 Max, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 foldable phone, and the Redmi K60 Ultra flagship in August in China. MIX Fold 3’s launch is happening on August 14 so we might not have to wait for long.

Last month, the Redmi Pad SE (formerly Redmi Pad 2) bagged FCC certification, which also revealed it will come in variants, such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. The slate is said to run on MIUI 14, based on Android 13.

Other reports claim Redmi’s upcoming tablet will get an around 10-inch IPS LCD display with 2K resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Geekbench reveals it will have the Snapdragon 680 chipset under the hood, paired with LPDDR4x RAM. Fueling the tablet may be an 8,000mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging.

The Redmi Pad SE should be launched in multiple markets. Are you excited about the new budget tablet?
