POCO has expanded its tablet lineup with the launch of the POCO Pad X1 and the more affordable POCO Pad M1. The POCO F8 Ultra and POCO F8 Pro were announced globally earlier today, and alongside these flagship phones, the two new tablets bring tall displays with high resolution, Snapdragon 7 Series chipsets, and massive battery packs. So here is everything you need to know, like its price, specs, and other details.
POCO Pad X1
The Chinese brand just unveiled the POCO Pad X1 with a tall 11.2-inch display with a 3.2K resolution (3200 x 2136 pixels), a 144Hz refresh rate, adaptive HDR and 800 nits of peak brightness. The screen is surrounded by noticeable but relatively slim bezels on all four sides. POCO built the tablet with an aluminum chassis that measures just 6.18mm in thickness and weighs 500 grams.
Under the hood, the POCO Pad X1 is equipped with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, which is paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. A massive 8,850mAh battery pack powers this tablet. For audio, you get a quad speakers setup with Dolby Atmos support. The rear packs a 13MP shooter, while the front houses an 8MP camera for selfies and video calls. Other notable features include stylus support, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 6E, and NFC.
While this wasn’t built to be a flagship grade tablet, the POCO Pad X1 brings specs capable enough for enjoying gaming, regular use, and handling multitasking without any lag. It also provides a premium built quality for a better experience. There is also the Floating Keyboard and Xiaomi’s Focus Pen accessories that are sold separately.
POCO Pad M1
Alongside the POCO Pad X1, the company announced the new POCO Pad M1, which is a more affordable tablet. It sports a tall 12.1-inch IPS LCD panel with a 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600 pixels), a 120Hz refresh rate, and 500 nits of peak brightness. Just like the Pad X1, you get the POCO Pad M1 with a metal unibody design. This model is equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, which is a mid range chipset as well. In terms of synthetic benchmarks, this model is quite similar in performance to the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3.
This is paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage that can be expanded by up to 2TB via a microSDXC card slot. While the resolution might be slightly lower than the Pad X1, it has an advantage in battery life thanks to the gigantic 12,000mAh cell, which supports 33W wired fast charging and even 27W reverse wired charging as well. Both the front and back have an 8MP camera for photography. Other notable features include quad speakers with Hi-Res audio and Dolby Atmos along with a 3.5mm audio jack.
