The upcoming REDMI K Pad is already turning heads in China’s competitive tablet market, even before its official launch in June 2025. In early performance tests, the device goes toe-to-toe with two well-known gaming tablets—the Lenovo Legion Y700 (4th Gen) aka Legion Y700 (2025) and the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro—and manages to hold its own, especially when it comes to efficiency and thermal control.
According to gameplay test results shared by Novice Evaluation on Weibo, all three tablets are equipped with top-tier chipsets: the REDMI K Pad runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+, while the other two use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. When tested on Honor of Kings, all three devices performed nearly identically—RedMagic scored a perfect 120 FPS, while both the Legion Y700 and REDMI K Pad hit 119.9 FPS. However, there were significant differences in power consumption and temperature.
The Legion Y700 drew the most power at 9.8W, followed by the RedMagic at 6.2W. The REDMI K Pad, however, was the most efficient, consuming just 5.7W. It also ran the coolest, with surface temperatures around 42.8°C, compared to 45.3°C on the RedMagic and 45°C on the Legion.
A similar pattern appeared in Genshin Impact tests. All three tablets again managed 119.9 FPS, but the Legion used 8.5W of power, RedMagic 7.5W, and the REDMI K Pad just 6.9W. Thermal readings stayed in line too: 42.9°C for the Legion, 45.2°C for the RedMagic, and 43°C for the REDMI.
The Dimensity 9400+ chip in the REDMI K Pad is largely responsible for its impressive power efficiency. While the Legion Y700 offers an 8.8-inch LCD (900 nits HBM) and the RedMagic tablet features a 9-inch OLED (1600 nits HBM) display, both draw more power and heat than the K Pad, which sports an 8.8-inch 3K+ 165Hz LCD and a 7,500mAh battery. With its launch just around the corner, it’s shaping up to be a serious rival in a growing niche.
